DBS anjua ?

SG is small, hence very small news also will get published, like the Remy Ong hit-and-run a dog ...

Malaysians no need visa to enter Spain. Business/Tourist also 90 days.

Madrid ? Barcelona ? Valencia ?

If you are going to stay 1 month there, you should have time to walk around. Forgot the names spelling,
Park Guelle, Sagrada Familia temple, I think there is a bull fighting ring also (not used anymore?).
If got full day, try to goto Montserrat by train. They have some funny buildings also with tiles and books, etc.
MNG and Mango there are like Giordano/Baleno here, everywhere also have shops.
That's all I recall now.

If got > 2D time, take overnight train/bus to Zaragoza, Madrid, Valencia.

OOT already Working in Spain

OOT - What's the monthly rate like to play badminton in SG for season ? (inclusive court & shuttlecocks)
I'll assume max 6-8 players per court for 2-2.5 hours session, so that the players do not wait/sit too long. Or can play continuous.

Bus. Depends on your preference and safety acceptance.

Here's what I did every weekend once upon a time ago.

Kranji MRT, take SBS 170 all the way to Larkin. I'm nearby at Woodlands, Sembawang, Admiralty area ... so easy and near for me.
(you can take the Causeway bus, cheaper, but I like to use EZLink)
If you are from CBD... jialat liao

Larkin, take no-frill express bus (normal VIP seat, not those double decker or VVVVVVVVVIP seat)
RM30+ only. Bring own water bottle and bread/snacks. Coz buy at Larkin/mid-way are expensive by 20-80 cents or more

If take bus from B!tch Beach Road, SGD30-40+ for normal VIP seat.

If you are slightly richer, go take the double-decker or fancy ones like Aeroline, First-coach, Odessey, etc.

This takes into account your familiarity with causeway peak/jam hours, etc. and your willingness to WALK across the causeway when it is fully jammed up. Been there, done that.

SGD55 x 2.4 = RM132

Larkin-KL round trip ... 2x ~RM35 = RM70 only for those who are kiamsiap
Even add in SBS 170 & Kranji MRT ... another RM10-20 only.

I'm not sure about current latest rules.
Last time it is possible. Once a fellow start to walk, droves of people will follow, rather than stand inside the bus for 20-30 min stuck in jam. Or if the 170 queue gets very long (I'm sure you've seen it snake for 100-200 metres).
If walk briskly, just 10-15 minute walk only, provided the person is not a whiner or couch junkies or puteri lilin who don't exercise.

ah... yes. Correct. Nowadays not feasible to walk already

Last time I cross and sometimes walk to Kotaraya / Jln Wong Ah Fook to buy some stuff before take bus to Larkin.

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.

"A bird in hand is better than two in the bush"

My advise is take the first job. Settle down first, then only look for other jobs if this one does not go well.

If you screw up A and B can't get the EP for you, then you will still be jobless in SG.

If A verbal promise X. But OL shows X-200, and you waiting for B, why not just tell A that you don't accept their offer ?
So, when B comes along, you take whatever they offer, even if it is X-300 ?
Or worse, B does not offer you.

Now you see the point of bird in hand vs two in the bush ?

The unemployed is 2nd point.
Your main point is to enter SG and work there with valid EP.
That will help a lot in your upcoming job search, instead of stay/work in MY, without any SG working permit.

What kind of beautician job is that ? Owner ? If owner, already hired staff to take care shop, won't lose a thousand dollars everyday.
If work 22 days (Mon-Fri) a month, that's SGD22k/month

Must be. That's why so tired must sit down in MRT

I use Sri Maju from KL-SG. Use Causeway.
But I normally drop off after Woodlands Immigration (SingSeong), and don't proceed to Beach road.
I either take bus, or 170 to Kranji MRT.
Much faster rather than stop at Beach road and come up north again.
Not sure got midnight bus or not.

Wisma Central next to KLCC, if you know what and where it is. Still can consider as aircond restaurant, since the old building is air-conditioned

Roast chicken rice = RM4.50
siew yuk rice = RM5.50

Unless you mean those famous ones at Jalan Alor or Pudu there, RM6-7 (minimum) for char-siew rice.
Pudu famouse siew yuk rice (they give you the entire thin-slice about 20cm long) costs around RM15 (forgot exact price).

dollar-to-dollar, SG food is cheap. I still remember eating lunch nasi lemak at Tg. Pagar market/food court at <SGD3, with small fried chicken/nugget, acar, otak-otak, etc. Not that tasty (according to M'sia standard), but tasty enough for SG standard, although long queue, but consider cheap lah.
