hi, anyone know which bookshop i can buy the book "March to Putrajaya" ?
anyone bought them already?

You renting the whole unit or just a room.

It depends, most owners through an agent will require you to sign a tenancy agreement outlining the various provisions which are in favour of the landlord. If its just a verbal agreement, then you have to be careful since theres no black and white to back up your claims.

Any lawyers or policy makers care to share why one has to go this far on the usage of the humble toilet paper?

try not to rent from a single old lady, my own research stats show this will cause problem and sleepless nite

i rent a room only..

room, my research still apply, avoid single old lady

Care to share what is/are the finding(s) of ur research?

When i first came to singapore, i rented with an older single lady, a divorcee mind you and i quickly found out why she became a divorcee and why she constantly blames her husband for her failed marriage. Plus she's the religious type.

So i too would suggest that the last option is to rent from a single older lady. Gay's i;ve found are very accommodating as a landlord. So long as you tell them your straight as an arrow.

long ago, as career progress decided i have the mean to rent a small hdb on my own, so i call agent i saw in the internet which advert a location nearby where i am staying in boon lay, the place is 2 bedroom, where landlord lock one room up, so i get the whole hdb on my own, i went and view it, omg i was like, the place look so nice, and renovated look like a ikea show room with alarm fitted. the agent told me, the landlady, single stay with his boyfriend.

i saw the old lady she look nice and quiet, and she mention she come back once in awhile cause she still have some stuff in her lock room, i pay the rental with deposit and agent commision fee and sign the dotted line

the horror begin.

after i move in then few day, i found out the landlady actually staying in the house exactly opposite, that the boyfren place, feeling like being watch, then i look carefully, i think she watching with a binocular from the opposite side, then as i felt that got people touch my stuff when i went back malaysia, i did a test i purposely put my cloth according to certain arrangment, indeed when i come back i saw somethign is move, so she is ransacking my stuff and this is only the first month , then it get worse the landlady starting to accuse we temper with the door lock, and we over using the electronic good like the washing machine, i was like we got the key to the door why ..we want to temper the door lock

then it get worse she call my office and checking on me, asking my snr, how my work performance, lucky my snr is close with me , she came back very often in the middle of nite to her room to take stuff, banging the door, waking me up.

finally i decided, although the contract is for a year, we mutually agree to revoke and i left, i stay for two month i think , i thought i was unlucky only

after thing back to normal.. i look back

i can say the whole thing is a conspiracy .. do u see IT



the agent is in IT (case 1)

nope, but forum is not your personal google. we don't spoon-feed.

i googled, i dont wanna google for bookshops.

i'm not forcing you to find out and tell me which bookstore sells that book. just trying to find out if anyone has purchased the book anywhere, or know someone that has gotten the book from a specific bookshop. that's why i ask in forums.

not asking for any spoonfeed. i was just asking politely.
i wont mind if you don't answer at all.



anyway, thanks ivan. i'll try that if i cant find in pageone

wtf lol "binocular"!!
Luckily u shifted out. Well my landlord was mentioning about heavy electricity too. Said that switching on another fan is waste when I felt it is actually hot weather in the night with just single ceiling fan. I told him that only it will be switched on at night time, but unfortunately he said that "this is his house and his rules" if I can't follow then it is better that I look for another better air circulation room after the end of contract. OMG!! One Stand fan was like 50w where the hell it will cost him that much of electricity bills. Haizzz....

wah...u guys want landlord really ...i was lucky...my landlord is the bo chap type...go work , balik , tidur...if meet say hi already eat and etc..quite lucky...i think sometime it is best to tell before hand....i tell my current landlord that i am a gamer...i watch tv series...so i definitely gonna whack his modem kaukau..after telling this he still ok..then u found urself a good landlord.

When I was in college, I rented a room from an old lady and her spinster daughter. Suffice it to say, there was very little privacy and I rarely got to do what I wanted.

After that, I have never lived with a landlord/landlady ever again. If I had to work harder, take a night job at 7-11... whatever, I made sure I always rented my own place. Right now, I smell like foreign workers from the MRT, sprawled on my couch, surfing, watching TV, 3 fans on, not wearing any pants... and no one can stop me ;p

TEP appeal rejected.
The HR said that
"The reason – The prospective employee does not meet their criteria for approval."

haiz..
dont know what's the exact reason again.
Anyone got any idea of what is the possible problem?
Any forumer or any HR people here got any idea on this?
