QUOTE(keelim @ Apr 9 2011, 06:48 PM) Although it is raining, today is freaking hot. Missing the wet and chilling December. couldnt see while driving... luckily it was like only 10 minutestoday woke up 7am went to mandarin orchard, then eat breakfast there then to simlim, after that queensway mall then novena square then leasure park kallang then yew tee then boay quay then clarke quay then mandarin then back to yew tee... wanna die already, so damn tired no police catch... heheheh, 2molo going water skiing at east coast... then return car got infected by my boss' guess flu... so much for a day QUOTE(crapp0 @ Apr 9 2011, 07:07 PM) I would suggest camelbak since it integrates a fluid hydration system into the a normal backpack package since if you like hiking, its very important to keep yourself hydrated at all times. he got 2 deuter 50L, cost 600+ lol nvm la... rich kid... but tatonka so exxp... although design looks so oldI have one when i go for work since its a pain to bring a water botol when my backpack can serve as a storage medium for both my equipment as well as a quick to reach water bottle system. I got mine while i was in the states but most hiking and certain bike shops should sell these range since its rather popular. Added on April 9, 2011, 7:08 pm Its not so bad now that its raining, this afternoon was terrible.

QUOTE(crapp0 @ Apr 10 2011, 09:45 AM) What matters for hikers is how the product performs and is it rugged enough that it will last you instead of wearing out prematurely. Worse scenario is your lost and you found out that theres a hole in your backpack and all of your essential survival equipment is lost. errr... but i mean among those top brands... i am sure deuter will do as well as tatonka right? n tatonka looks very outdated, they dont have those like extra pocket, rain cover... etc etc... i dunno much ler, just brought him to buy... i am a fat kid who only work n sleeps on bed.. ntg elseQUOTE(Shinichi @ Apr 10 2011, 01:42 PM) Hi all, for bringing back less than $2000 back to Malaysia, which is the cheapest method? if u got time, then physically bring it back lor... change in msia or in sg... sg i know the one at lot1 cck have very good rates... 1. physically bring in cash into Msia via money change exchange 2. remittance (is this more suitable for huge amount? By the way, I heard its cheaper to exchange SGD->RM in SG coz exchange rate higher, is this true? And money changer in City Hall provides best exchange rate? QUOTE(seantang @ Apr 10 2011, 01:52 PM) If you want to do it online, CIMB Sg to CIMB My is free. MBB Sg to MBB My is $15. If you use your CIMB Sg or MBB Sg ATM card to withdraw money in My, it's free. But the e/rate is a bank rate, which is generally not as good as money changer. There are exceptions though like CNY this year when MBB's rate was a full 2 sen per S$ better than money changer. although free but does CIMB offer competitive rates?$2K is small money, Just withdraw from ATM and bring it back to a money changer in Sg or My. QUOTE(washabushi @ Apr 10 2011, 03:18 PM) hi guys, it is called e-savers acc.not sure who posted it before... which saving account(standard chartered) do no required any fee to open, no minimum deposit required and come with ATM card.

QUOTE(spitzupipu @ Apr 12 2011, 04:35 PM) hi guys, need some advice here. I am currently working in Singapore and holding spass. My company needs 2 months notice period. I just got unhappy with our management and have been thinking of leaving. same shit as u bro.. wanna leave but afraidI have got few job offers since feb but none of them is able to apply spass/ep successfully for me. But lately i am so fed up with our management style and cant wait to leave. Do u guys think i should just tender my resignation and look for new job in this two months? My concern is that i dont get approved for my spass. but at the same time, not alot companies would wait for 2 months, somemore if i fail getting a pass, they r unwilling to take extra 3 weeks to appeal for me. It really puts me in a difficult situation, I want to leave but I cannot leave without securing my future... QUOTE(Hean @ Apr 12 2011, 06:49 PM) Is Larkin the only bus stop where all the express buses at? errr, the customs there also got it think... QUOTE(spitzupipu @ Apr 12 2011, 10:13 PM) no. current company wont know and it can be applied without canceling the current one. confirmed with all the HRs who helped to apply for me. wait.. so if new company apply new ep, u have to go and get it right? but u gotta serve 2 months at ur old company... means in that 2 months u hold 2 ep?  |

QUOTE(L7Awesome @ Apr 14 2011, 09:58 AM) Just be careful with those companies which do not have a good interview process and procedure. The interview process can potentially reflect culture of the company. I have experienced it. When I got into this company, the interview process is relatively easy and not much question asked. When I joined the company, I really got a culture shock. Maybe we should ask more questions to the future boss as well. i must strongly agree on this... too good to be through or desperate parties signals for something that's about to comeQUOTE(venicelim @ Apr 14 2011, 11:04 AM) what / who / where is mustafa? u.... have been in sg for how long?QUOTE(L7Awesome @ Apr 14 2011, 03:06 PM) I do enjoy going to Junction 8 sometimes. I used to stay in Bishan before relocate to JB. Not much but quite relaxing spending time there and not as crowded as in Orchard Rd. Haha.. maybe we can meet up for yam char one of these day either in JB or in SG. i luv j8 cause there's a lib nearby, hawker centre at the parking lot, a little shopping and its near town for heavy shopping.. not too pack, not too bangla... just niceQUOTE(yinyum @ Apr 14 2011, 04:00 PM) I only hang kai kai with girls wor... sexist? or we can go sing K  |
