Hi guys,

I got an offer at the SPH as an financial analyst. They offer me $K, should I accept it?

Yesterday I found 1 at Hougang, 7 mins walk to MRT for $450

Room size is about 4m x 4m

Utilities included but no wifi and aircon.

Is it a good deal?

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..

Duh we're so jelly of you guys making twice as much as us.

It's not an easy decision despite we earn 2.4 times more.

You need to give-up alot of things.

Some maybe broke-up with her gf bcos he leave for SG
Some maybe need to forgone the opportunity costs of his car in Msia while working in SG
Some maybe cannot enjoy our lovely nasi lemak + teh tarik while in Msia
Some maybe lost alot of friends and start all over again in SG
Some maybe feel homesick
Some maybe need to stay away with his/her parents and his/her lovely pet dog.

On the other hand, you will be compensated with a 2.4 times more salaries than your friends working in Malaysia.

While you back in Malaysia, for instance (I just quoting an example) you will be eating a loaf of bread bought from Delifrance while your friend could just be eating a loaf of bread bought from Gardenia.

Or you can afford a brand new Samsung Galaxy S II while your friend is still using just a Vivaz (and it's 2nd hand oso).

So, can you afford to exchange those intangible factors mentioned above to a more monetary asset?

Guys and gals,

I've a question here. I'm non PR and wish to bring my Malaysian car into Singapore to drive for long term.

Is this possible and how do I go about?
What's the charges like per day?
Do I need a Singaporean Driving License?

Thanks in advance.

Cheers,
Amos

U can drive MY car to SG everyday provided ur car must leave SG territory for at least 6 hrs consecutively everyday.
this is why most of them who drive MY cars in SG stays in JB.

Otherwise, it is better for u to buy a SG car if u wanna drive.

The 3 letter firm also paid above 3k already.
Freshies now command at least 3k for their first job already, they can be choosy.

It's quite an improvement.

I understand during my time, it's only about $2.2K range for freshies in this industry.

Hi guys,

For you guys who travel often from SG-KL-SG, which flight you guys recommend? I only need the cheapest flight.

The pro and cons:-

1) AirAsia (can save u convienient fee as you can pay via Maybank2u)
2) Tiger Airways (the cheapest sometimes but cannot use maybank2u, charge u convienient fee)
3) JetStar (the most comfortable but cannot use maybank2u, charge u convienient fee)
4) Firefly (not convienient bcos near arrive in Subang)
