QUOTE(dtna7 @ Jul 7 2011, 09:24 PM) guys, can you give me some recommendations of bus service to and fro sg - msia? 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.gonna catch a midnight one for an interview at sg and an evening one back to msia. Appreciate it~  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. |

My cousin just got his job today during his 1st interview as an Accountant in an automobile company. His job require him to travel frequently to KL which is good for him because he from KL.
The company can save hotel costs bcos my cousin can stay at his house whereas he can go back to KL frequently at the expense of his company. Damn, so lucky of him. |

QUOTE(alaskanbunny @ Jul 19 2011, 11:35 PM) does he get accommodation allowance? He will get $45 daily allowance only. Don't think the company will provide any accomodation allowance despite staying at his own house. |

QUOTE(deodorant @ Jul 20 2011, 12:20 AM) Agreed. Unless it was specifically negotiated during the interview that your cousin would stay in his own house in KL (i.e., it was one of the reasons that the company hired your cousin in the first place). Yup, i not too sure why the company take him also but i believe one of the factor is bcos the company can save accomodation expense in the long run.Otherwise, it is unreasonable for the company not to provide any accommodation. But at least he still got $45 = RM110 daily allowance which i think is super sufficient for him to have 3 good daily meals in KL. Besides, in the long run he can save on his own traveling to and fro KL too unlike others who need to fork-out his own money to go back to his/her hometown.

QUOTE(mercury8400 @ Jul 25 2011, 10:26 PM) what's yr point? So u think cost of living in KL is low and u can live comfortably with RM30K per annum?u can't compare like dat. U must also take into account the cost of living. In china (esp Beijing & Shanghai) and Aus not all that rosy despite the conversion. Aus- hard to get a job if yr not white, taxes could amount to 30% of pay, medicare is complusory - whether u want or not, gov hospital is slow and private one is expensive (just like in M'sia), Aussies are getting more hostile to asians over the years because they percieve us as threat to their ricebowl. China - COst of living in cities are super expensive, housing is crazy (more crazy than SG), people are rude and no manners, safety is a concern, food sux, weather sux The newspaper wont report tat is it isn't comparing apple to apple. |

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? |

QUOTE(Mackiddo @ Jul 31 2011, 03:52 PM) wow... all > SGD$50. quite heavy plan. What kinda speed are we talking about ? I think Singtel have the best coverage. If you plan to use P2P then give M1 a pass coz understand they block that. If your data usage is <12gb per month, can consider teether from your phone plan, etc iPhone plan. wow, i didn't know that M1 block P2P... u mean if i wanna torrent, watch PPS.. i cant do it with M1?I think my usage is >12gb bcos I stream EPL and watch PPS frequently. How bout Singtel? anyone using its mobile broadband? Thanks for your feedback. |
