Don't be so cheapo!! I lost totally 2K realised in stock market.
I am being so cheapo, keep stingy on food and rental, after that I lost in useless things. Cheapo people will get their money run away on useless things. Do you agree? What I learnt, I should contribute my money to church. |

I just went for a interview in Singapore small audit firm.
He gave me an offer SGD2.5k. However he said, he will apply working permit/Visa (cant remember visa or permit) for me. However, it might not be approved. Since government just implement a new law effective 1st July 2011 to prevent surplus foreign worker to come in. He added, the problem rose because I have only advanced diploma rather than a degree. He may apply for me if failure later, but will adjust the salary to 2.8k. Extra 300 as the bonus in advance. I just wonder whether what he said is truth. Advance diploma restricted to get a job in sg nowadays? Why we can appeal if we rise to 2.8k? Due to minimum wages regulation?

QUOTE(Mackiddo @ Jul 11 2011, 12:39 AM) hiya, clubbing doesn't mean only alcohol, sometimes nice food (dining) and my addiction of Starbucks ... all adds up average around that figure per month I find starbucks coffee bland and rather tasteless. Would rather french press my own coffee and buy and grind my own coffee beans when i have the time and its way cheaper with way less sugar as well. |

Coffee machine- I could get a Nespresso machine for that price Vacuum- I would opt for a cheaper range from Fairprice unless that is a noiseless version you are getting Rice cooker, hair dryer and iron |

Francis,
I didn’t read your previous posts but I would like to forewarn you about the danger of “tailor-made” salary with the objective to get your pass approved. A rejection of 2.5k by MOM based on salary (we wouldn’t know anyway) alone will not trigger any bad record. However, if subsequently, the same potential employer file an appeal/new application with a higher salary, say 2.8k (where he must be guessing salary is the main culprit here), this will definitely ring a bell to MOM. “tailor-made” application will not get favorable outcome. Unfortunately, in this case the applicants are the victims but the employers would probably get away unscathed/issued a warning letter. |

I dont understand why he do so, all the problem is solved, if he can apply S pass for me. I ask him just nw, whether can opt for E pass and S pass..he ask me not to worry.. I really want the job, what should I do right nw? |
