Do u think the chance of me getting the PR is higher? hmmm, bank job should be quite 'good' chances for PR but contract staff... hmmm...but anyway you have no choice what.. you do need to work there first before get PR. |

QUOTE(Mackiddo @ Jan 2 2011, 12:13 AM) well i used to be that person's colleague, but i moved out to take on another portfolio. So i have the skills of both portfolio, and that person has nil skills for my current portfolio... so how could that person manage me?And the irony is the current skills that the person knows were all passed down from me! #rant.. .think will be on MC on Monday. After a clean record of no MC for 6 years straight, this really boils my temper. |

QUOTE(Jurlique @ Jan 4 2011, 11:53 PM) Hey guys, it's me again.. actually char kuey tiow after a while you will feel its quite ok to eat... haha needs some getting used to... i like the siham though... seems cleaner and not overcooked.. hmm individual preferenceThere are 3 type of food that cannot be eaten that I experience in SG while working here, it's just damn yucky:- 1) Chau Kuew Tiew (Why so sweet??.. put sugar ah to fry ah?) 2) 酸甘汁 aka lemon+plum drink - walao, it is too sour+abit of bitter! Cant compare to Malaysia's style 3) Tomyam - real yucky (Tomyam in SG is the worst).. Apparently, every hawker serve the same yucky tomyam. BUT SG do serve good BKT and Kuey Chap (cannot be found in KL). Just wanna share my experience b4 I go to bed. Bye. if want penang style, can visit ABC market which i think not that comparable to Penang or go Paparich lo.. QUOTE(washabushi @ Jan 5 2011, 12:04 AM) by the way guys, If not wrong ATM withdrawal overseas is either $3 or $5. No need to activate anything. Conversion rate follow bank's rate la... (which is as u know not that fantastic)any1 of u tried withdrawing cash in Malaysia using Singapore's ATM card? I know there will be rm10charges(heard from my colleague) but do we need to activate anything before that? and also how bout the conversion rate? wanna know if u guys know before i call them n ask... thank u Added on January 5, 2011, 12:05 am i only ate 1 at tanjong pagar complex...its those food court and another 1 at dhoby ghout there the food court both serve thai food only...and both ok for me Added on January 5, 2011, 12:31 amif any1 can find reasonably nice Klang style Bak Kut Teh in SG, please tell me!!!!

QUOTE(keelim @ Jan 5 2011, 09:29 AM) Wanton Noodle in Singapore is the most awful I have ever tasted. It's beyond my comprehension when I see people queuing to place order. The pungent smell....like detergent or a bleach agent. i found a few same standard as KL... there's one at ABC market... only $2 per serving summore... QUOTE(seantang @ Jan 5 2011, 09:33 AM) I have not found an edible chee cheong fun in Singapore yet. Not counting the HK cheong fun at Crystal Jade, Imperial Treasure etc. Hmmm, found quite a few hawkers selling HK style chee cheong fun ah.... but haevn't found any selling - old school chee cheong fun with kari... QUOTE(Nokia convert @ Jan 5 2011, 09:46 PM) what about ramly burger and maggi goreng? any good ones to recommend? I normally have to go to jb to satisfy my craving. Oh someone please help... together with the elusive klang bak kut teh, i have not found any decent ramly nor maggi goreng either....also looking for good char siew rice... with u know.. char siew chap!!!!

QUOTE(crapp0 @ Jan 7 2011, 04:00 PM) Not until that many, more like 10-20 cats her hdb. haha so i was just exaggerating... but i like fat cats.... but when make *chut *chut sound, they don't bother wan... damn lansi.. too well fed already. Somemore when nobody is around, you can abuse them like tying nylon rope around their heads and bash them on concrete walls as a way of population control. Seen some china worker near the dorms do this as "entertainment". Not like anybody gonna miss a stray cat. |

generally work sg more stress of course... especially when you want to move up your ranks, you will notice many sneaky, backstabbing, apple polishers. my observation.
