Where to get 1K note... RM and S$? I've never held one in my hands.

That's why I hate doing large transactions in cash... it's always only 50 buck notes available, sometimes 100 on rare occasions. Anything more than a couple thousand is a big wad of notes to carry around.

NTU's 2011 grad earns $20,000 a month

THE top five earners from the Nanyang Technological University (NTU) Class of 2011 are drawing five-figure salaries, the highest being $20,000 a month.

Two-thirds of graduates have already found a job, according to a preliminary study conducted by the NTU's Career and Attachment Office. This is comparable to last year's graduating class during the same period in 2010.

A total 9,066 graduates will receive their degrees - the largest graduating class in the NTU's history - from Monday till Aug 1.

At the first convocation ceremony on Monday were President S R Nathan and Education Minister and Defence Minister Ng Eng Hen, both of whom were present to witness the inauguration of Professor Bertil Andersson as the university's third president.

it's not always about the money mang. when i was searching for a place i thought quite long about renting a whole unit vs renting a room, in the end based on my privacy preferences, and since i can afford, so i rather spend extra to get an entire unit than to have to share with strangers.

Hi guys, I will be renting a room in Aug 2011 and now wanna ask about internet subcription in SG.

Since my landlord did not have a fixed tel line, so mobile broadband is the only option for me.

Wanna ask which telco is the best for me based on you guys usage experience. BTW, i am a heavy broadband user.

1) Singtel (50GB data at $59.90 per mth)
2) M1 (Unlimited data at $59.40 per mth)
3) Starhub (Unlimited data at $70.40 per mth)

I tot of subscribe to M1 for this instance, any opinion from you guys?
