What I enjoying most when driving in Singapore is driving to the left most lane on the traffic light and swift to right most when on green light.

I hate driving in singapore, unless its the highway, you cant go more then a 100ft without encountering a traffice light. Much prefer driving on route 66 in arizona, just a long unending road with nobody and no traffic lights to bother me.

I reckon 99% of sports car buyers worldwide are buying those cars for looks and nothing else.

If they buy to show them off, do you have a problem with that?
*
You would if your pet peeve are shallow people.

But then again, everybody are annoyed by those people one way or another if their in your face.

Say your minding your own business at a road side cafe and a fella with a flashy car start revving his engine just to attract some attention. He would be in for a big surprise if he did that in the castro district.

Ignore them then - that's nothing you can do about it besides venting to strangers in an internet forum.

I put it down to plain old jealousy.

I guess if your deaf then you can certainly ignore the noise.

Unfortunately i am not one of those people. Their just like mat rempits, just with more cash but the same attitude and unwanted noise bothering everybody.

hmm....i checked. I can complain against agent but no use. the landlord is the one trying to cause the problem so that I will move out earlier then she untung.
anyways, i am ready to report to police if she ever touch my stuff. she has no right to ask me move out before mid sept.

cobroke agent. my agent is from dennis-wee. name starting with J with a capital A in her name. Can easily see her in craigslist. She had given me wrong info and it was my fault to believe everything she provided. First time I engaged an agent and really bad experience. Somemore lost hundreds to her >:
the house is at marine terrace but i guess no one here will go there tongue.gif

anyways i just found an agent without agent fee....with reasonable rental in central. hope this time can stay longer but at least i have nothing to lose this time smile.gif
*
So this agent does pro bono work?

i think 1 month commission from landlord. he said he only gets agent fee from landlord side not tenant.
*
This benefits both the agent, especially the tenant but is disadvantages the landlord since he/she has to fork out a a month commision instead of the half month.

So the landlord cant be singaporean right?

Its actually 2 hundred units a day for both today and tomorrow. Just went there today at 12pm and its all gone.

Heard from the HP sales person that once the doors for the place opened at 10am, all hell broke loose and people were scrambling to get one.

Luckily you can get it if you pre-ordered when it first came out and they dropped the price to the fire-sale price.

Nice. Whats the name of the shop?

I bieleve its the "game store" at tampines mall.

Been there when im visiting and the prices are competitive.

You could also try gametrader.sg for 2nd hand games and forgo the middlemen shops and deal with the respective buyer directly.

I've gotten most of my games this way and i've never pay'd more then 35 dollars on a 2nd hand game.

I wonder given HTC Evo 3D vs SGS2, which phone u guys prefer?

Get the samsung, 3D technology is "gimmick" to push the sale of a particular item. The tech hasnt fully matured yet.

Owned a SGS with the amoled screen, as a photographer the color look way over saturated to me.

However the pixel density is lower for sgs2 compare to iphone 4 , sgs , or sensation which you will see some pixelize.

As for the qlcd view angle it is lesser compare to both amoled and ips but do you really need to put ur phone at >150 degree when you use your phone? in fact many user bought a privacy screen protector from 3M to reduce the view angle.

about the chassis of both phone, i prefer something feel "solid". both sgs and sgs2 felt plastic to me. but don't get me wrong, they are hard plastic i drop my sgs from 3feet and it is still fine.

sgs 2 is 100 dollars too.

Therefore I got myself a second sensation from comex today with a free pair of concert ticket + 4gb android toy usb (lol)
but i will never go back to comex again, way too crowded.
*
I find it odd that people would want to get a privacy screen for their phone since in the old days, manufacturers of lcd had this problem of limited veiwing angles and now after they solve this problem, people are now trying to go back to the "good old days" so to speak.

for fibre internet, M1,starhub, or singtel?
which one most consistent without lagging one?
Want to subscribe the 50 Mbps one, watch at mysoju without waiting?
*
There isnt really much of a diff between the three since they all share the same fibre optic back bone channel.

Plus your not gonna get the full rated speed of 50mbps. Its more like max out at 20mbps for international sites.

If you want full speed, get a business line with SLA.

i think about the same kua... back bone still the same provider?

with 50mbps its not the line that's lagging... but the server

evolved from the arcade table... if u go to those arcade they have that game as well.. on a big table, they use it to gamble i think

open net is the backbone provider. The three telco are "renting" the fibre optic channels.

I guess their looking for either PR's or singaporks. Since i dont they take lightly about foreigners being in the security profession. Singapore would rather outsource alot of task to foreigners but whem it comes to security, they dont like to outsource that unlike the states.

Last i heard was around 8 months for keppel, sembawang shouldnt be far behind. But you work like a dog and the perks are you can bully the foreign labor and they cant do shit if your into that sort of thing.

Fortunately i work for the owners now so i dont need to take shit from the shipyards when i was a subi.

Btw, sembawang folks are trying to be a d*** again. Thx alot CJ Chang.

If you work on contract basis, then your usually not entitled to a yearly bonus.

But you can make up for it depending on your profession.

Risk assessment surveyors make a crazy amount of money, i found out that one guy charges by the hour at an hourly rate of USD 300 per hour.

Singaporeans and malaysians are basically indistinguishable from one another.

The majority of the singaporeans whom i've met have mistaken me for a singaporean which is irritating at times.

True they see according to the colour of your skin but thats not always the case, an example would be the china man. But what trumps that is the position and company that your being employed.

If say a bangla man is in an executive position, then people would respect the position he/she is in more so then the colour of his/her skin.

Yeah position but often not the quality.

Indians, Banglas are in a way timid, not many voice out their thoughts, probably language barrier, probably also due to their culture where they listen and not to retaliate words from superior.
*
Those are the less educated ones who dont know any better and are afraid to speak up since they may have been working in a work culture which frowns upon voicing ones opinion or reporting about a superiors misconduct or dubious activity. Thats the "white man" is very frustrated in a "china man" company where nobody dares to talk against their superiors eventhough the superior is in the wrong due to various forms of "retribution" to be met out by said superior.

But there are those indians who let power goto their head very easily and they start to act like those indian movie stars, cocky as hell with ballz to boot. I know a few indian nationals who are pretty chill about things since those guys are more travelled then their brethren who work only in singapore and thus not exposed to the international scene.

What industry are you working in?

Mechanical engineering companies in singapore, mainly the SME's employ a large number of indians, bangla ,china and burmese since their cheap, they dont usually fight back and they are semi-skilled workers.

Guys, help me decide. I got an offer as a post of Assistant Manager in a well established insurance firm in Sg. I'm currently working at a major financial institution in KL. SG is offering me SGD5000. My fixed expenses in KL is around RM6000. I already have a family (house, wife, two kids and my parents) in KL. So the question now is, does it make sense to accept the offer in SG? Here's the extra cost in SGD if I go to SG:

Rent a room : 500
Communication (since i am so far from family) : 300 (??)
Food : 300
Travelling (I still need to go back to KL at least once a month) : 300 to 500 (??)

By this calculation, it does not really make sense to go there anymore. But in the long term, if I bring my family over to SG (and if my wife also finds a job in SG), perhaps it will be better?

What do you guys think?
*
For communication, just use skype. I virtually spend nothing when i call back to my hometown when using skype. Thats if i do call back which isnt often.

Food is to low, bump it to 500.

Travelling isnt so ex if your flying budget once a month.
