Called, still being processed... latest will know by september...

^ Odyssey time not ngam 1 - -4PM and stops at mount Kiara. By the way, does Odyssey pass through Sungai Besi ? Normally I ask driver to stop at Petronas near Bukit Jalil Technology park.

Anyone taken before ?

^ I want to try but sadly timing not ngam. Actually the Balestier stop is just across the street from where I work, except I snake out on Friday after lunch to take the bus back

Heard today that a HK colleague of mine just got his PR approved.

Anybody know where can I find photo taking facility nearest to Work Pass Services Centre (WPSC) at Tanjong Pagar Complex on a Saturday?

Roughly what time I should be there(WPSC) to avoid the crowd on a Saturday?

Only for Singaporean families lor ... aren't all of us here still holding Malaysian passport?

The whole process was not longer than 30mins today for S pass

Hi All,

I might be moving to Sg very soon (like in 2 months time) if all goes well.
Have been surveying on the cost of living. Now still trying to check out if there are any room availability for Malaysian female (dont mind sharing), max $350...

Working location: Tai Seng area

My budget:
HP (with data service)  = <$50
Transport (MRT/Bus) = <$180
Food = <$350
Total monthly : max $1000
Please feel free to comment if my estimation falls below the actual threshold. Also need to ask what do I expect to fork out in the first month, as in do I pay like 1/2 months of deposit for rental and so on?

p.s:I'm still deciding to go or not depending on cost factor...Pay is gonna be approx SGD 2xxx only...

perhaps you have not seen contractors carry with cash in bag(s) especially during pay day. or progress claim from main turnkey con/developer to NSCs.

i rbought around 5K and my heart arleady beating
boom boom boom ....i want u in my room song ..
omg .. 

Huh? you mean i can just use the GXXXXX to register postpaid?

I'm holding EP currently, so may I know how to register?

LOL...I currently still under employment with my company.
I unable to take leave to SG anymore unless I resigned from my current company.

I saw SINGTEL allowed to register online. But I really no idea the FIN: G13XXXXX is refering to what.
Any idea?  

Hello, Is glad to coming back to this page with new status. I'm currently working in Singapore. 

Good to hear that, I'm going to start work at SG next week. Nervous.. xD

Today i finally tried to use passport to scan through in sg custom...it actually works.

Please I'm expat in sg with housing allowance and company car and per diem and use my dutch driving licence . That one they cannot get coz EU only for higher class , even if got money the gwailo say so what

Try to look for a car with 3-4 years left on the COE , hopefully by then many cars will deregister and COE will go down to an acceptable level. Also try to look for a car with higher paper value (etc. OMV) so that you get more back when u deregister at the end of 10 years.

Hi all, need some advice here...

I got a call from recruiter of an opening and thinking to try it out. For an interview I know it is required to bring along all required documents such as certs and testimonials, however if I'm required to attend an interview with short notice, is it okay for me to attend interview without supporting documents? I left all my original documents in hometown...

Thanks in advance.

Just curious, anyone here bought / planning to buy property in JB for investment?

Unless combine CPf. As for myself, I hv CPf but not my bf, he just turn PR last month. Bought the condo under his name as I am reserving mine for another. We utilized all cash we have, refinance some property for the Downpayment.

One advice, if you plan to invest in Sg, don't use joint name in your first private condo cause both of you would only hv one chance of getting 80% loan. Reserve the other name for another cOndo. I heard the government is trying to clamp down on speculation by disallowing use of CPf for second property.

em 3K also tak sampai
habish lah camni...

I saw dishwasher job advertised in ST , the salary posted is $1500. this one too low.

In SG, Is it normal that we have to pay to alter formal pants, and also need to wait at least few days to collect it?

Yes, I am lost in the complex calculation. 

but I till have a long wait until I have the money for condo, so nothing much to confuse at the moment

err things like unexpected family matter is hard to predict.. always need to keep a backup, can't leverage too much.  The calculator only provide half of the answer, you need to 'guess' your future cash flow and reserve level.

when will be the next gathering? kinda bored at SG..

My colleague gave me a freelancer that he used. He'll compiles and present the features of all the loans from major banks and any specific banks you ask. Yes, he'll be biased towards the bank with the highest commission but simply to get a single report listing all the loans with common denominators is damn useful already. Much easier to shop around. Then for courtesy, listen to the guy's pitch for 15 minutes lor.

Thanks all sifu for your valuable advice. I will make a thorough survey before any decision to be made.

I'm currently working in the west, any recommendation which area should I look into to get a decent unit should I decided to get one in SG? Be it new/used. I would prefer 2-3 bedrooms unit, around or below $800psf. Any informative websites will be appreciated.

No, this guy only does property loans. More like a loan broker.
