Hi, just to ask if anyone here using starhub home broadband service? Recerntly my internet coneection is not stable and called starhub centre to check. They suspect the modem is faulty and will send technician to come over to check again. I asked the customer service ppl if the modem is faulty, can i get one from IT shop or somewhere online to replace it. He said cannot be done because my service is tag to the modem registered under my name so if i would to get an used 1 the used modem probably would already tagged to the seller's name so must be purchased from Starhub itself. I ask if i can purchase from the seller and change the modem to my name and he said cannot. There is no way to do so..

Just to verify if that is the real case?

I asked him how much they sell and he said around 90buck. wah lao eh, i can get an used 1 for only 20buck +/- and they charge me 90buck.

starhub using cable or phone line? if cable then i think have to use their modem lor... did they try reseting the voltage?

Before I went to Qatar for a small project, I've totally no problem working with any races, but after I came back, the India Indian contractor really make me almost gone super-racist. Sigh.

India Indians in Singapore purportedly impose their caste practices and look down upon Indian Singaporeans who are mostly of Tamil stock.  e.g. making snide remarks at them in Hindu temples and Little India shops -> naturally, Indian Singaporeans are rightly pissed off at such blatant discrimination, more so by foreigners in their own country. Moreover, India Indians look upon themselves as being of higher class than Singaporeans as they believe that the Singapore govt invited them into the country.  In reality, it is because India Indians almost always hire their own village/town brethren for job vacancies in their departments which is why one sees a sea of them in bank back office operations (e.g. Citibank, Stanchart, Credit Suisse, etc) and in IT divisions of many MNCs.

same as those from china especially the northern part... look down on those that speaks dialect..

If you guys are interested to do it on Wesak Day , I am available! I would recommend a place called Settlers near SMU at Dhobi Gourt? We can have a meal there and play board games (not those caplang games but real good designer type board games). Jut a thought

Information for the settlers.
Website http://www.settlerscafe.com/
Map http://maps.google.com.sg/maps/place?oe=ut...635291870508579

They have unique board games, at least more than 20 choices available. You can order a set, which comes with a meal and 3 hours of game time. Cost around $18 if I remember correctly.

No more Singaporean style food?  What do you mean?

Credit to many Singaporeans though, they are still quite tolerant and accepting of foreigners amongst their midst.  Malaysians are definitely much more acceptable to them compared with say China Chinese or India Indians.

well, more towards the eng. edu. ones... if you're chinese edu. most likely they can pick you out... am i right?

neway, just because we blend in better and we are harder to spot doesnt mean there's no resentment... and also our features and colour are more similar there's somekind of kinship involved that helps..

more of these feelings are usually among the lower class/society... the capitalist class loves foreigners, the educated ones usually are more acceptable, where's the upper class are 50-50

I'm not fresh grad. Got 1 year exp in software based company and 1 year IT helpdesk. I also think that the salary is quite low. But i worried if I further demand, they will reject me.  cry.gif

usually companies that hire so easily wont be good, however considering your situation, i would say take it first.... worse come to worse you suffer one year then job hop to another sg company... i believe for you the question is are you willing to leave you current home?
