Traffic police website stated if the intention to stay in Singapore is less than 1 year then can drive Singapore registered car with foreign driving license. If work more than a year dy, then I think cannot.

Is singtel 3g unlimited downloads?
How much for unlimited?
*
Google Singtel, M1 and Starhub. Then ctrl+f broadband. I am sure you will find out what's the price. Instead of refreshing the thread waiting for someone else to spoon feed you all the information, couldn't you put in some initiative yourself. Of course you can ask your mom to google for you if you wish

Can share what is typical cost when you eat with colleague vs when you eat alone?

Based on my experience, my Singaporean colleague is more stingy than me, don't even order drinks when go for lunch, I look like the richest among them by ordering 1 kopi-o. That was 2 years back though.

I thought it doesn't save much if we cook for only 1 person?

And if you believe in nutritional supplements, spend a dollar a day to get a bottle of Pharmaton capsules or something similar. There are a lot of required nutrients that a constant diet of economy rice cannot provide.

Can I know what is the benefit of this Pharmaton capsules, or where to get it? Not really into googling about health supplement product.

If u want to order vitamins/supplements choose iherb.com, free shipping to SG if u order more than 40 USD.

I only take one supplement cordyceps.

Can I know what brand of the cordyceps you order from iherb.com? Is it cheaper if get it locally. Newbie here want to start spending on health supplement product.

Locally its more expensive...about rm100++
The taiwanese brand is cheaper but I dont feel the kick like from these.
Western version of cordyceps is seriously stronger. I know cuz i tried the taiwanese ones and i need to take like 3-4 to get the same strength boost.
But be warned cordyceps has some side effects. Please go google the effects of corcyceps.
I have been taking this for almost 5 yrs now..
from Iherb

Planetary Herbals, Cordyceps Power CS-4, 800 mg, 120 Tablets

I didnt see anything on the free shipping if orders above USD40 le. They asked for referral emails or discount coupon, can share? Thank you.

well of course they will be other factors to be counted
but in this case i just add another factor in my selection,
which is the location  nod.gif  nod.gif

what about the passport for daily in/out
how frequent do i have to change my passport
since its gonna be stamped on every entry/departure right?

and the last time i went to immigration in malaysia, i remember seeing
a special passport for Thai/Sg IIRC, do i have to use that one?

If you get a job in Singapore, you will be issued either EP, S-Pass, or WP. So they will not stamped on your passport.

Hi all,

I worked in Singapore around 2 months that is my first job in Singapore. Let say if I resign between this few week, that will affect me apply the EP with the new company?

Thanks...

It will affect, but if you're good in the eyes of MOM, then shouldn't be a big deal, for example, reputable university, high income, niche skill set and etc.

My personal data mining exercise yielded 4.5 months, 13 days and 6.2 hours. Less than 3 hours difference, but still significant. Mainly due to the fact that male job changers who were born before June 30th were waiting until after lunch hour to hand in their resignations, the exception being vegetarians who handed in their resignations before leaving for lunch. My preliminary conclusion of this phenomenon is that this was due to their blood glucose levels dropping below 34.2 parts per million by 11.34am:30s, affecting their short term right brain memory. In short they would forget to hand in their resignations altogether if they didn't do it before lunch.

The new potential employer cannot submit the application until the current cancels the pending one.

The potential one can submit regardless of the current application status. But it may not be processed. Hehe

Once the result for the current one is confirm, be it approved or rejected then the potential employer can submit the application which MOM will processed.
