QUOTE(r1v3r @ Jul 17 2011, 11:37 PM) Iirc it touch 2.70 once during my working years but I know nuts about money market. So I will change some at 2.4 , some at 2.5 then much more if > 2.7. If ringgit drop a lot then it is a good time to use SGD to clear my loan in Malaysia. \\   |

one of my ex-colleagues just moved to singapore. fuuuuuuuuuu she renting a master room at a condo near the office for $1.4k. at that price seems like more worth it to just tambah a few hundreds and have an entire unit just for yourself ... no? or take entire unit and sublet out one of the rooms.

What do you think when he "didnt offer you a job"?More like he's wasting your time since he may just be surveying the market for a potential candidate. |

Check out SG Straitstimes CATS job classified every Saturday. Lotsa job ads in there from MNC.
Also update your latest CV to monster.com.sg. I get at least 2 to 3 calls a week from agency/ recruiter. All the best to you! |
