oh same, so have you rent a room? if yes, where and how much o?

Yea, living together with my hometown neighbour who works in Singapore. 1 Room 700SGD@ Commonwealth near MRT(5-10minutes walk)

guys, wish ask some question
1)what is the cheapest way go&return between sg and kl during weekend?
2)what is the cheapest airline go&return between sg and kl during weekend?
3)anyone drive bek kl on weekend from sg and return to sg on sun?
my gf is in kl.. i work sg. so.. pening.. pls help!

1. cheapest way is always by bus but it also takes the longest time. From KL, just take express bus. from SG, the ticket will be in SGD and thus when you're comparing both in RM, it's twice more expensive. therefore, you go to kranji, take SBS transit 170 to larkin (JB bus station), then only you buy ticket to go to KL.

1) take a bus from Johor bahru Larkin terminal. one way trip is only rm30+
2) I find airasia to be the cheapest but you have to book at least 6 months in advance for it to be an economical option.
3) some forumers here drive back to kl once in awhile but not every week. You still need to compensate their petrol cost. It will come up to about the same as bus ticket in the end.

Then which bus coach in sg bek to kl u recommend? i wish to bek at friday around 7.30pm.

Any body know or experience how West Malaysia SPR withdraw their CPF before retire age with most convenient method？

Ang Mo Kio you can still find common room at 500-600 but definitely not walking distance to MRT.
Another choice would be Shun Fu estate, nearest to Marymount MRT.

guys, if any of you shopping for headphones/earphones/whatever, highly recommend this shop named Jaben, 4th floor Adelphi (city hall mrt there). super friendly owner, and best part is you can sit as long as you like and try all the headphones/earphones as you like until you find a pair that suits you.

also ... any of you using starhub who have problems with 3g data last couple of days? my starhub green on iP4 fuukin useless, 75% of the time no internet at all, the other 25% of the time super slow and frequent timeouts.

You must be speaking of Uncle Wilson.

its actually not, its more expensive than bus even we divide 4 person. JB to KL its RM41.30 1 way toll money, 1 tank petrol RM60. so 2 way will be RM200+, that haven include service car and change tyre money. the benefits is its fast if drive. from 5 hours bus journey, it can cut down to 3 hours.
So even faster than plane i would say.

You can look for stereo.. Stereo have better reputation than Jaben... anyway it's still very subjective due to the experience may differ.

guys n gals, i have a BIG problem...

it seems that the sg company hired me is exploiting foreigners, knowing we need a job, suddenly during confirmation ask me to sign a new contract... very strange terms that requires a person to work on wkends n if no work on wkends the hrs not clocked will be 'owed' to the company... its not my 1st job so nvr heard of such thing.... no epf paid n no transport claimable even though travel to work for the extra hrs... end up if u resign they can easily make u stay for another 1 mth or so due to the 'hrs' u 'owe' them... it has happened to others.... n i hav been warned by my colleagues

BIG Question is, if i resign now, will i lose my EP n get deported back to Msia? If so, then mayb i should jz put my head down n sign the agreement after that quietly look for another job?

wat would u do? negotiated for hrs edi but the boss insist the terms...

@toda6866,

sad to hear there are such company with such terms in SG.

wat type of company is that, where is the location? Maybe can give us some clues so that other members are aware of it. thanks.

Hi toda6866,

I assume you've read the contract, you understand that the T&C is weird yet you decide to sign on the contract, by all mean you agree that you shall adhere to the contract drafted. So what do you expecting now? You know it would be non-stop bashing right?

Ok, if you resign, your EP will be terminated by your employer and you be granted 30days pass to continue your stay at sg, not sure you'll be able to extend this duration, lastly, i wish you good luck and have a good negotiation with your boss.

I've been to stereo (plaza sing, right?), imo their service is nowhere near what uncle wilson gave. although i must admit that at stereo got one sweet young thing salesgirl helping me but her product recommendations & knowledge & etc were like just and barely better than mine. and also the environment not very conducive for sitting down and testing products

I have heard that Jaben tends to price their products on the high side, though, so ... need to go in pre-informed lor.

Anyway guys > If I need to go Penang for the weekend, best is to bus to JB then AirAsia to PG right? I check JB > PG price is so much cheaper than SG > PG price.
