actually geylang is the most safest place in singapore,where u can see a police car station there whole nite, anyway most people have their "supper" there already

u know the chinese saying the most dangerous place is the safest place

Well, unless if one enjoy office politics, one can suck one's way up.
If not, one would at least need to work a tad bit harder as time goes.

haha i dun get offended one, cause i am just a lowlife low earning, trying to learn from other people. I squeeze my Bangla collegaue do all the hard work, so i can be free and chat in forum.

Wah~!!! Aiming 10k is alrdy so hard, some more need to aim higher 100k?! OMG.... I've to go home now & day dream

@Erny Errol, why don't u rent Sengkang or Punggol? Where u stay? Im currently staying sengkang but moving to Punggol soon. I like these area, not very noisy & new HDB very clean

I have start sending my resume since last month, but none of them reply... dunno what is the problem
malaysia gt some opportunities, but it is too far, most of those electronic engineering company is located in Penang...

Hi,
I will be working at Wilkie Edge, and it is within walking distance from Dhoby Ghaut. Therefore, Punggol and Sengkang area would be slightly too off for me.

Yup, I'm looking into Boon Keng, but whenever I google Boon Keng room for rent, it'll lead me to Kallang =.='''

So don't work hard lor. Stay in the "sandwich also cannot afford" class.

yah i also knocking off in 10 mins and going home to daydream with u
pity my bangla colleague, he still need to OT until 10pm tonite, haha lucky he not in the forum, he have more utterly stupid question than me, u know chinese saying 1 type of rice feed hundred type of people

For me, i like Red and Green line MRT as compare to Circle or Purple line. Red and Green line MRT is bigger and their air-cond is much cooler.
the down side is, green and red line is always pack like sardine. But even when u sardine, u can still feel the air-cond nicely.
If i were you I might stay in Toa Payoh (hear ppl say a lot good food) or Ang Mo Kio (I love this neighborhood, very complete and have everything we need) area.

one of my colleagues said that geylang got "code" one, the lorong number will roughly correspond to (1) whether got ayam or not and (2) what country the girls are from ... haha!

was during dinner at the beef noodle & frog leg porridge place that he said that

@yinyum/ivan: not so hard to plan one. within your industry/company/job scope, you look upwards you will also know agak agak how high you need to climb in order to achieve your target $$. so the question then is just building whatever needed education, qualifications, certifications, experience, and skills so that you can rise to that target.

example i'm currently sort of a hybrid IT/projects/finance line. in order to sit in my boss place, i need experience in running projects and some sort of formal qualification - either PMP or MBA in Proj Mgmt. The former will come naturally in my current role, the latter I need to plan with regards to sacrificing time & money & effort to get that qualification. Then after that it's a matter of looking for opportunities, whether it's within the same company or elsewhere.

to dhoby ghaut, little india is nearer. only problem is sunday only.

Not for his customers, maybe... for the undertaker - earning more is better.

Why would a teacher or lecturer be better off earning less?

As above. What's the upside for a minister to earn less?

OOohhh..I also just realise, actually I can stay at Toa Payoh...
Do you all reckon to rely on agent to look for room, or I should personally head down on my own?

My suggestion:
Do some research thru internet to gauge the pricing. I can't rmbr the website, but u can check the first page of this forum.
Then come 3 days, starting Friday morning, buy newspaper and start calling. 90% of the time the advert is thru agent. That doesn't mean u just 'rely' on one agent.
Agent or not has its pro and cons, as discuss/argued in this forum. So just go with flow, and whichever unit u fell is rite.
Btw, make sure u have enuf $ (1mth deposit + 1 month advance+ 0.5 month agent fee (if any) + few hundreds for utility).

Added on June 15, 2011, 9:13 pmGood for u. Better ask all the stupid question u wan now. Ur chances of asking stupid question gets lesser wen u climb higher ranking.

Better to be stupid for a day (espcially in forum where ppl dunno u), than be stupid for the rest of ur life

Wow...so many fees to pay upfront.
Sometimes I wonder, whether this move to Singapore is worth it or not..lolz.

0.5 month agent fee is painful. normally landlord or tenant pays? few hundreds for utilities? why is it so expensive?

thanks for your encouragement, I appreciate it, I do better tomorrow.
as Law kar-Ying say, if I dun go to hell, who will go rite.

Added on June 15, 2011, 9:52 pmwat I did is I pluck a paper no at a nearby bustop where I plan to stay,call the fella, pay deposit and a month rental, and move, happy staying for so long
