Eh guys ... PC Show 2012 coming this weekend. Is it worth it to go and buy things there? Or is it like KL where no point going cos it's not any cheaper than directly buying from LowYat?

there must be a firstcoach fan club somewhere... i suspect the bulk of their biz is coming from folks shutting back n forth kl-sg.

i bump into more single wimmen riding on firstcoach than aeroline. Think now got higher frequency and more stops in kl/pj/bu/subang.
the grouse is -
1. movies didnt change... i sit 1 year watched all movies adi
2. sometimes bad bus.. vod kong, wah~~ 5hrs damn boring
*
they did it right by having it at 1utama... and their pricing hit the sweet spot rclxms.gif

true, at first the movies are great but no change... oh ya, now no movies totally.. probably lost the license rights? hmm.gif

u can always watch from your ipad/laptop rclxms.gif

I tried first-coach several times before for novena-bangsar.
These VVVVVVVIP got some extra like 1 bottle of mineral water and snack like bread/nasi lemak.
Sometimes (not every time) they give me headset, but no sound. Movies also cannot see due to bus shaking/vibrating due to highway/road condition. Also, the morning/evening sun shine/glare... even close curtain also the brightness/contrast still not good. It is worse than watching movies on flight. After watch <15 minutes, I switch off and either sleep or read newspaper.

For those extras, I don't feel like worth it. Still prefer no-frill bus.

vvvvvviiiippppp are aeroline/oddesy.. firstcoach is like 2nd class wink.gif

for the pleasure of not sitting with weirdos, i would rather pay... notworthy.gif

Best way? Connections. When I was in KL I worked on a couple projects with my current boss. He had a vacancy open up and asked me to join him.

Sharing my experience.

I received no reply by sending my resume with Malaysia address and contact no. Then, i decided to quit my job and come here looking for job.

I managed to get myself a job in 2 weeks time.

However, my friend manage to get himself a job here while he was working in KL.

The best way is thru connection like what deodorant has mentioned.

deodorant is right. or you join MNC company in malaysia that has worldwide office. we have plants & office at 10 locations in the world. that was how i was transferred from kl office to sg plant cum office due to business unit divestment.

i did apply for engineer post around 5 years ago when SG PB went to KL to conduct interview and immediately the following week was offered to work in SG but i rejected as did not want join back consultant in construction, in searching o&g that time.

you can try & pay attention to any SG company conducting interview in KL through newspaper, jobs website, those respective company website.
