I rented a hotel room in JB for the weekend (Sat-Sun). On Saturday morning, I went into SG and got myself the Straits Times. Look at the rental section and started calling. I know it's a pain but I managed to get my room that way. Relying on the internet is fine but I think this is one effective but I do waste a lot of time. Sometimes, when you call up the agent, they will tell you that there is a room that just vacated and it is not even advertised. I have gone through Yishun, AMK, Bishan, Toa Payoh before I found one in Bishan previously and this room is not even advertised yet. I drove in during the weekend and a GPS is really helpful when you are not familiar with the roads in SG. thank you for the heads up.. appreciate it a lot.. anyway... around AMK area, where is the cheapest HDB? Thanks!

Well, base on my experience, the distance from MRT to the HDB plays an important part. Also, the condition of the flat as well. You will need to go have a look to determine what suits you. What I suggest you to do is to come down here the weekend or two weekend before you start your job and hunt. You might be spending a whole two days to do that. However, I believe that will be worthwhile in the long run. no no bro, just rooms. anyway, is there any particular day of newspaper which carry the most classifieds on rooms rental? alright. Thanks for the advice! This post has been edited by capiche: Apr 25 2011, 05:48 PM

They will only entertain if u wana c the unit today or at most tomorow. Internet not really accurate. most of the time i call, they say already rented out, even on the same day they advertised!! U can use internet as reference of the prices. But to really rent, u have to do ur home work fast erly in the morning and and start calling around 10-11am. just like playing the stock mkt. If u say wana start renting next 2 months they won't entertain oso, cos owner won't hold for u extra months. It may be good also u come down few weeks before u really wana rent to get a feel of how does HDB flats and rooms looks like, and pretend u wana rent it immediately. then find some excuse to say u dun like the place. Really appreciate the time u put into the reply! Thanks for the advise.

How long usually do they take to officially come out with an offer? I was interviewed in mid of March..2 weeks aft the interview I did call them to check the status of my application and the HR personnel told me that they are very keen to hire me and currently (at that time) is seeking for approval from the management for my remuneration package and will inform me once approved. After waited for another 2 weeks I've called them again and the same person told me that he haven't get the approval from the management and will update once received. And now it's already end of Apr and I havent rcvd any update yet. I'm quite reluctant to call again as I hv called more than once which may give wrong impression to the employer - a desperate guy , but that's not the point. The point is, is it normal for keppel (specifically) or singapore company (generally) to take such a long duration to come out with an official offer? Anybody have similar experience which can be shared here? Much appreciated. Thanks. I have applied their internship programs too. Accd to the personnel, he told me that my case would be handled by another two staffs, and they will contact me shortly on the arrangement of interviews and etc.. Till now, no news too.. o ya, it was 2 months ago..

Will probably take 1 working day normally i'm not quite sure bro. But i think should be a standard procedure right? Any clinic around AMK area can do this? Thanks
