Thanks for the earlier feedback. Currently will only have Employee Pass after pass my med checkup.
Hopefully tomorrow can secure a room located near Jurong Point. Anyone have any idea how much the average rental there? Found a room for sgd500 with internet+heater+aircon+util bill, staying with singaporean landlord |

QUOTE(Nokia convert @ Dec 4 2010, 02:10 AM) I am staying near jurong point too.....working in tuas. As for rental, 500sgd inclusive of internet, heater, aircon and PUB is a steal. I only managed to find an equivalent room last month for sgd550. I search around by myself, mostly 450-500sgd exclusive of aircon or PUB. This room was found by an agent (relative of my relative If they landlord looks ok, I suggest you rent the place asap. Btw, pls check whether the landlord really owns the unit. You have to be sure that this offer is not a scam.   ) but need to pay agent fee, of course. My relative will visit the place today and if everything ok, will rent it.Mind telling which company you working at, in Tuas? PM if dont want to disclose in public  |

Marina Bay. Quite disappointing considering the effort to squeeze through all the humans there. Firework barely last 8 mins.

QUOTE(seantang @ Feb 27 2011, 08:33 PM) Open a Maybank account in Sg and use Maybank2u.sg to transfer money to your Maybank account in My. will refer to MB SG tmr. hopefully they still operate after 7pm. thanks for the infoQUOTE(Nokia convert @ Feb 27 2011, 08:33 PM) All money changers at jurong point provides remittance service. Just give them the money + Malaysia account details + sgd10 remittance charge. The rates they provide is pretty competitive I would say. I transfer monies every month to my Malaysia Standard Chartered account. $10 quite high eh I stay at jurong west street 64. Wanna meet up?  ST64? opposite JP? few of my colleagues staying there. Maybe upcoming Sunday can meet at JP  |

QUOTE(felicious @ Mar 4 2011, 06:46 PM) The food here don't taste nice so far the best food i tried here is at nearby Jurong East MRT. Sarawak kolo mee  Do you find any nice food around Jurong Point? other food just so so. Worst offender is ice kacang, failed miserably... I ate at JP last few days with colleagues, nothing good QUOTE(rickysim84 @ Mar 4 2011, 07:22 PM) jurong point got some shop with good food le.. i think there is a shop serving penang's local food, the taste not bad though. Then there are some food stall at the first floor outside the shopping mall also not bad. i think that penang is somewhere at top floor, near a corner? never tried yet. food stall near POSB escalator entrance? that place imho, also suck  |
