anyone wanna meet up? We cud set up a group for newbies from malaysia i started work last Nov. very recent and live at telok blangah.

no need room mate. u can stay at tampines. try all the sources providen at first page. there are tons of places u can find SGD400 n below to stay for a room.

If your income is sgd1,800 , what are your commitments?
Depends.

Well consider food alone is around 450sgd. given ur bfast is below 4sgd, lunch os 7sgd, and dinner around 5sgd and below.
Utilities that depends. If the rent is 700sgd and below , also include the utilities, that's good enough.
Mobile phone, please use prepaid if ur looking around only 50 dollar per month. Mrt fare is around 50-100. Depends where you heading and where you work from your home.
Total is 1,300sgd. He still have 500sgd to play.

i've tried this before

mrt+ phone = sgd100

food and drinks = sgd210 ( 7sgd per day )

assuming weekend also i spend sgd7 per day for food and dun go club or wayang or wateva entertainment.

rent = sgd600 all in.

walaoweh total = 910sgd.

if put his budget

he save sgd890.

that's RM2,225.00.

this one is just a mere try out. i can live like that since my office is only 10 minutes from my house. and then during weekend, i can simply buy food around my home area, without taking any public transport.
