most of south island, visiting friends on north island. Have fun to figure when to pump petrol

Yes I did that but you can confirm with car rental company. As long as you dont get into trouble

Will bring my GPS along. Not taking chances, I will call the car rental comp to enquire.
Many thanks.

surprisingly, malaysian driving license is accepted in USA. My friend used it back in the states, and apparently it's legal since he got a speeding ticket from the cops. lol.

Different states different rules. And different cops different interpretation. But generally as long as you're a visitor, and as long as your license is in English, then you can drive in the U.S. with the foreign license.

by right you need a translation,

but others did not mentioned it

most main road are bidirection single lane. Not many road side lamp post in certain area. Roads are narrow with mand bend and hills. You will see tanker driving next to you real close sometime. So avoid night driving if possible.

petrol price can be very different near sea port or inland, so take note of the price.

Have you drive on the other side before?

but prepaid is expensive. receiving calls also have to be charged.

Hi LYR, but you got about 5x more than what you paid for, let take an example, singtel hot 128 reload card for 28~30
100 local credit + 28 limited international credit for only $30..what do you think?

guys, can you give me some recommendations of bus service to and fro sg - msia?

gonna catch a midnight one for an interview at sg and an evening one back to msia.

Appreciate it~

seem like a good deal too. i will consider about it. thanks.

I would always pick Causeway Link Express barely because this bus do not stop at Yong Peng for makan for 1 hour which is a farkin waste of time.

I mean who on hell would like to makan for 1 hour or 45 mins at 11pm at the yucky Yong Peng Bus Terminal for instance?

So far, I see only Causeway bus stops only at one of the rest room for 15 mins toilet and then continue its journey.

KL to SG takes 4.5 hrs to 5 hours only due to this fact including immigration clearance at non-peak hours.

thx for the tip mate.

Went through the site, but the time i want is full.
I'll sure try it next time.

some kedai runcit near Jurong / Geylang...can get at SGD25.5 for hot 128 jor~
got bonus value..free gift also

why not
brotherly love
no, you can drive only for a certain period... most of the states allow 3 months, after that u need to go dmv
first coach, causeway link, transnasional, aeroline, odessey

Can I ask you all a few question?

Do you all every year receive bonus or not? Do you all need to sign contract to the the bonus or not?

Last I check in MOM website, MOM did not said the company need to give the employee bonus every year and MOM also do not state about getting bonus need to sign contract at all.

Edit: Who want to come to Orchard Rd to drink coffee at "Ipoh White Coffee" at 2.00pm this coming Saturday. Can decide with place to go and drink. Far East Plaza or Scape nearby.

Dress code: Casual yellow if possible.

Appreciate the links. I dont think I have problems with the bends and hills. I am used to those conditions given my hometown does not have direct access to NSE. To make matter worse, those trunk roads leading to my hometown have animals trespassing on and off.

I may be however, unfamiliar with icing road.

But if you do not talk that much, that much of a credit is still too much.
You can opt for the HOT15 (not sure, heard from my sis-in-law only).
It is 40 local, 15 international.
I heard that local calls value has a cap at 300 also.
Do note, Sg prepaid is different from back home.
They have different balance which has different use and validity.
Using the HOT package, the local and international balance lasts for 50 days only.
If you do not reload again within the 50 days, all balance will be wiped.
Oh ya, even though it is written international balance, it is actually international calls within Sg only.
There is also a main balance, for people who talk even less (like me).
I reload 10 bux, it extends the validity for 6 months.
This balance is just like the one we have in Malaysia...you can use it for everything (which covers roaming).
If this balance is less than 8bux (not exactly sure), you can't do anything while roaming even if your HOT balance is a lot.

Although there are many, i find it difficult for a single male to rent a common room in SG.

Haih, but girls are more easier to find rooms tho..
