wah, blind date session? good idea guys..

ya, nowadays difficult to find opposite sex especially working in SG unless u wanna court ur female colleagues in office.

I know of one ex-colleague job hop every year mainly bcos he wanna try his romance luck in other new companies.

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?

It's not like you're stucked in a small island. It's not so far away even from Penang compared to folks working in USA/Europe/Australia.

For JB folks i can't imagine how they would even feel homesick.

Normally people decide to go to SG bring their girlfriend along to make x2.4

How many Malaysian that work in Malaysia at my age actually pay income tax?.

46 Business analyst 5,487 5,150
^
This is me! lol.

More. And in my company/dept, I'm the ultra most junior and lowest paid BA. The more senior ones have easily 2x to 3x my salary (estimation from how much they charge per man day compared to me )

har?? they enforce it already? my company was applying an upgrade for me from S pass to EP coz my increment just ngam ngam hit the EP range.
means now no nid hope the EP will approve d?

no limit     

1. cashflow: debit u need $$$ in an acc, cc has its own acc without $$$ inside
2. reward points: yea, slightly better
3. protection: like me i travel a lot, if use debit card they minus my acc straight away and any disputes i am hardly protected, with cc i can still fight
4. show off: ...
5. better design

credit cards awesome as long as you got discipline lor. I learned the hard way first 2years of work. somehow buy here buy there managed to rack up one entire year salary worth of cc debt. took another 2 years to dig out of the hole lol.

haha .. for somebody who dun own a credit card like me, consider very elite mah and impress haha

This may be a stupid question but are PRs required to serve NS?

No, PRs' need not serve NS.

hello, to all bros working in sg. This kind of questions pop in every now and then, but I will love to have ur opinions guys. Just recently, I was offered a job with a basic of $6k. Further details like benefits yet to be determined/discussed. Working location is in Jurong West.

my question is:
1) any decent place recommended for rent with respect to the working location? what are the rentals are we looking?
2) looking forward to drive to work. Is that feasible or I should just stick to MRT/buses?

some infos of my background:
1) just married, probably expecting our first child next year. this will be my biggest headache. Not entirely sure if my wife tag along or she should just stay where she is. Thought of flying back to KL every fortnight. If she were to follow, is $6k enough for both of us? Am i looking at bigger area of rented rooms/unit? How much will they be?
2) 5 yrs exp, current work involves structural designs in oil, gas & petrochemical industries. Is $6k sufficient? I have no idea what are the market salary atm in sg. Offered job demands offshore line of work (based in office).

Where are you all going? can i join? i am 28 as well...

Almost more than 1 month.......
My friends all also face same problems.

Added on July 13, 2011, 5:53 pmJust wonder if i find job go through agent will faster????

I already directly mail to their email address and apply from their website. BUt.........all din get any response from them.
YYYYYYY??????

thx for all of your feedbacks guys, this has help to firm up my decision. I will be working in SG alone, while my wife will stay back in KL if the deal falls thru. She wont be alone at home, parents will accompany her. She will live her life like normal, except that I wont be by her side on weekdays, this sucks. But before that, both of us have to sit down and discuss thoroughly.

The cost of living for a married couple in SG is too much to bear, especially the rental already set me back at least $1.5k. Plan to bring my car down SG, but its impossible unless I stay in JB, after reading the earlier posts.

Time to brush my nego skills, hehe. Btw, anyone has come across this company, FMC Technologies? How are the working environment and benefits?

OOT, this thread is super active man, only 1 day difference already increase another 4 pages.

air fare not included ... among the long list of fine print. It is China... you never know what you are getting.

I'm on my way to Defu.
Employer told it'll take 1-2 weeks for EP application.

I need to serve 2 months notice and they're trying to get me started before October so that I can enjoy 2011 4th Q bonus next year.

Wish me luck.

Either way I lose nothing. Why not?
