For those who wanna change SGD to RM. I just changed in JB, the rate is $1 = RM2.407. slightly lower than wawasan in Mid Valley but i think its better than those in SG
Maybank2u.sg rate right now is 2.394. So the difference in yield is RM13 less for every S$1000 sold. About 0.5% loss.

Surprising, as I always find the money changer at Kranji to offer rates that are much better than the ones in JB. Even the money changer at Jurong Point give much better rates. Which JB changer do you go to?

The difference will be greater if it is Monday to Thursday. Money changer always trying to earn more (especially RM)over the weekend.

because i stay in JB ma. you know when we come out from kastam if driving, then we turn to Jalan Tebrau, on the left side, there is 1 money changer and a motor shop. there is where i always change, their sign board shows 2.37 only. you need to go and ask them for the latest rate. their rate is better than those money changer in SG. last time i also think that JB's rate is low base on those sign board. but after living there for a while, i notice that when u go and ask them, they give better rates. especially u are changing above $1k SGD.

It is either guided or unguided transmission.
Signal on Fiber optics is fast and cleaner than other cable but it still end at your router. IMO Gigabyte Ethernet is a better solution

Dont save to the point until your life becomes so unhappy.....

Maybe we try to think the other way round? ....
Try to make more money instead of trying to save more?

Trust me. You NEED to socialise with your colleagues. You don't have to be their best friend and babysit their kids etc, but you have to develop rapport and a sense of ease when dealing with each other.

Lunch is the easiest way to do so.

Besides, even in Orchard Road, you can get away with a $5 lunch at the food courts.
