My gf applied EPEC, 2 weeks ago, still pending until today

@yiivei: i think my tax consultant told me that it's 183 working days, not 180 working days + 25 living-in-singapore-on-tourist-visa days.

[edit] either my consultant was wrong or my memory fails me. IRAS website:

yeah. even worse is our LYN singapore thread. like 2 girl forumers and 30 batangs, lol! oh ya, tomorrow gathering apa buat?

thought you had problems with your EP being rejected? finally approved liao ah?

ah ok, must have missed it when the thread went from v6 to v7 or something.

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.

Bonus, as it's name implies, is a "bonus." There is no such thing as a mandatory bonus. (cos then it's not a bonus ... )

Contractual bonuses are guaranteed - these should be written in your contract. Performance bonuses are not guaranteed and will not be in your contract.

Guys > SG to JB, I remember last time somewhere around Bugis my friend take me sit taxi $7. Still valid? Planning to go to JB tonight after work to pick up gf's car to household shopping over the weekend.

Sorry, missed out on my original post but yeah I meant $7 per head. Now $10 already huh ... not worth it lah like that, I'll just take the #170 from Queens.


Don't forget the COV as well

apa itu BYO?

31 Fund manager 6,192 5,935
^
Fund manager 6k?

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 )

eh, nothing special about being a BA what. any job path also got opportunity for growth (and therefore higher title and salary), whether it is by promotion in company or by job hopping mah. if i 1 year experience and already $10k then of course can bangga a bit, but i'm not - if i benchmark against my peers i'm just on 'average' career growth only.

so anyway I took a trip to parisilk bedok outlet, the guy there didn't want to suggest anything. He was like 'you go all those superstores and see what exactly you want, email me the model and I'll quote price.'

also ... hdb parking such a pain if you're not season parker. 10.30pm-7.30 one overnight coupon, in the daytime 1x coupon for every half hour, end up dashboard full of coupons =_=

btw silly question. those bamboo poles to hang clothes from hdb ... mana dapat? haven't seen any being sold anywhere also.

hmmmmmmm ya woh, never thought of that. Gotta go check it later



Wah $90 you subscribe those 100mbps plan ah? Haha. I signed up for 16mbps, seems like should be enough liao, already 16x faster than my 1mbps streamyx line in KL.

7minute walk to bus stop, 15minute bus ride to work. Back also same.


oh i didn't know this rule. actually didn't know anything about hdb parking. drive car in go 7-11 buy coupon, the guy at the counter even more clueless than me. just dumped a few different booklets in my hand and say 'er you read and see which ones you need.' through fluke only deciphered that 10.30-7pm = nighttime = $4, then daytime gotta pay.

my hdb uses a multistorey thing, first 3 floors reserved for season

hmmmmmmmmmmmm parisilk prices.

gave them a list, compared to courts mammoth, average about 7% lower. can't use credit card, it's cash/nets only. worth it? you decide lor, hehe.


Attached thumbnail(s)

@darkages eh these stuff some not serious in buying, just wanna see how much cheaper parisilk prices are. and some of the stuff not up to me to decide, the home minister decide one.

@francis you over thinking things. s-pass, company gotta pay monthly levy, is like $100-something. EP no need.

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.

@venice not to disappoint you further, but my EP and my Gf's EPEC applications before approved, the status was "PENDING" (not rejected).

I'm sure bass agents and turbo icon earning much more than that
