I suppose you just havent met the "other" side of singapore. Any who, my former colleague just tended in his resignation and is looking for a new job since he's not tied down to a work permit system.

A few months back i posted pictures of a work shop in singapore which proves otherwise, in terms of safety and even environmental protocols its hard to believe the NEA never investigated the place and banned that workshop from operating, from what i heard, the proprietor paid a substantial sum to escape being shutdown and was let off with a warning and so far there hasnt been any follow up and he's still operating.

Thats odd since i am currently renting the whole HDB unit and with no "locked" rooms with a tenancy agreement and stamp duty as well. If it were illegal, i doubt i could get the HDB to stamp the tenancy agreement.

I think its a feel good website since the criteria for PR applicants are not black and white, unless you have money and the connections, then thats a different story altogether.

Not sure about that, from day one of renting the whold HDB we never had a "vacant" room for the landlord. Since all of this ruling is just for HDB to have their paws into homeowners cookie jars.

It depends on the speed on the other end.

I usually download my internet shows and i get around 1.2mbps consistently. Torrents varies around 300-600kbps.

Nope, so far on starbhub maxonline 16mbps, i do not experience any cut off period so far.

Thats cable. Mobile broadband is a different story. I used to have a M1 line and iniatially they didnt restrict torrents but after 16 months into my contract they started throttling the hell out of torrenting whereby you cant download anything at all. Talk about an over exaggeration but all ISP nowadays have a clause which state they can basically do anything they want which contradicts their them giving you the speed which you pay for but control what you do with it which is actually part and parcel of the internet. Its like saying "you can have your cake but you cant eat it".

But i dont so much torrenting nowadays since you can watch netflix with a paid subscription and their tv and movie library are fantastic. Since its streaming video, most ISP's dont block the protocols so its smooth sailing.

Actually having alot of airconds within near proximity to each other in an area which is building dense would have an increase in ambient temperature.

If im not mistaken all of the 3 major telcos use the same cable infrastructure except for singtel which runs on dsl.

So either way, your bandwidth is being utilized by all 3 major telcos. Its more prominent with fiber since opennet leases the fiber lines to all 3 major telcos for data services.

Its not so bad with some HDB's, especially the excutive HDB's which have bigger floor space and at a reasonable price. Unless living in a HDB is not your style.

Benefit of going from one end to the other is you can get a sit and sleep all the way.

If your image conscious with people whom you dont know and have never met, then it would be a problem. I rarely visit the site and so do most of my colleagues and frens since it just amplifies how petty singaporeans can get.

I usually go there just to have a laugh and ridicule a large majority of the stories brought up.

Closing your eyes and catching forty winks isnt so bad in the mrt, just dont hog the priority seat and dont be an idiot and use a sleep mask since it makes you looks like a douche.

Tampines?

Woodlands checkpoint = screwed + malaysian immigration scanning finger prints means double screwed for you.

Then there are those elderly who are physically more fit then some fat middle aged guys. A good guideline is if they look like your grandparents, then give them the seat.

Looks like someone here has a prejudice to banglas. In the morning, i usually find a seat next to a china guy since everybody will avoid them as if their the plague.

Only time i wont seat next to them is after 5pm since i know that their sweaty.

Nah, most singaporeans are to shallow to be not be insulted if you think their pregnant since they get a seat in return.

Of course you have to expect that you may get disconnected on a mobile broadband plan. A cable connection is always the best for speed and reliability. The only reason you would want mobile broadband is mobility and not being tied to a house in singapore.

im using starhub and everything is ok. Speed is quite good and i have yet to get experience DC that you guys have mentioned. One thing i dont like is starhub are the certain restrictions they like to place.

Fortunately i can resolve that matter by vpning to my companies fiber broadband DMZ zone network.

I wonder which 3G phone network is good for a smartphone, usually its between singtel and m1 but lately due to M1 disruption and the poor speeds from singtel. Looks like all three have really start to drop the ball.

Usually the general tip for home broadband is dont get anything higher 15mbps since thats the average max speed your gonna get on international lines.

For mobile its safer to be on 2mbps, i used to have an M1 4mbps mobile broadband line and only at certain areas and at certain times can i get full speed, the usual i get is around 1-2mbps.

My office fiber lines get the max 25mbps which translates to around 3.15 mb/s but i am disappointed at its upload rate of around 800kb/s since i was expecting around 1.5mb/s.

Anybody know of an establishment which sells beer at warehouse prices and in cases rather then 6 packs or individual cans?

Preferably asahi beer.
