basically i opened an acc to buy gold (paper though, not physical). gold is a hedge against inflation, so just plan on injection some of my savings there each month.

Alright, you may carry on with the thread. But please keep spam to the very minimum.

Oh, and mercury8400 has been given a 3 day suspension for his choice of language.

I'm heading home on the evening of 18th, taking firstcoach smile.gif

When I first got to SG, I had some savings so it wasnt too bad. But dont ever let money stop you from coming! Suffer abit for a month, then slowly recover.

Nothing in life's easy right?

hey come now, no need to put someone else down.

sometimes what they lack in paper qualifications, they make up for it with determination and hard work. so let's not discount anything.

Not put ppl down lar. But its true lar, got cert easier than no cert mah, given all other circumstances is the same. Thats simple logic.

lol i'm not in a freight forwarding/shipping co

it's definitely not a marketing function per se. more like a marketing support role, more on the operations side

I can't imagine having to do this every day @_@ ... so much wasted time just standing in the bus, standing in queue at immigration, etc ...

it's a trade off. what you lose in time, you gain in more disposable income. i've seen colleagues leaving for work at 7pm, only to reach home at 9pm. after eating/bathing/etc, they're lucky to be left with a few hours before going to sleep, only to wake up again at freakin 5am in the morning to go to work. sweat.gif

but yes, i share your feelings. i'd rather pay rent and stay closer to where i work than travel every day like that :s

mercury8400, please take whatever grievances you have with anybody to PMs. Dont test me.

Anyone else who thinks of flamebaiting, feel free to test me too.

At International Business Park then? Nice place. Loads of shuttle buses to ferry you to lunch places during lunch hour.

Nearby malls like IMM and the upcoming JEM also.
