What your advise Ivan ? SGD2000 in SG is that enough for me to save up and spend some over the weekend or RM3000 in KL could do the same thing?
*
i think cant go wrong with either one, since u jobless now
both choice also u will be able to sustain at the moment

is a matter of opportunity for higher income, i am not in automative
so i can only share my experience which is now 10 year ahead from wheer u now
what i did was i spend 4+ plus year in sg, then 5+ years in kl, almost 2 year now back in SG

every transition is very painful at the beginning, u can share a room with fren, to bring down your cost
i started by sleeping in a living room on floor sweat.gif

GF wise, just say i change a few and happily marry now with kid, dun let them hold u back rolleyes.gif
