i work at CBP and stay at BI... daily commute via 2nd link... 1 hour drive... no problem at all.
*
2nd link is much faster to clear immigration but further away if work in CBD area. Probably take the same amount of time from either causeway.

Hi guys,

I will start work at SG in November and need some advice. My office is located at Jurong Island. Is mit more economical to rent at Nusajaya and drive my car there every day? Office starts at 8 am so what time do I need to leave for work?
*
driving to work is always good. 2nd link traffic also not that bad. You could probably leave as late as 7am

currently i'm using maxis postpaid. if i work in SG, i would like to maintain the phone number because many contact list. what is the cheapest option for me?

2) is it possible to convert the number to SG service providers?
3) any websites that I can refer to about this issue?
4) how about you guys working in SG. how do you manage this?

i mainly maintain this number to call/receive Malaysian numbers. of course if it's bundled with internet service is better because i'm using smartphone.

i tried to google this issue but i can't find a good reference.

thanks!

I'm not too sure if you could port to prepaid but if you could, then u can pay a fee to keep the prepaid active for 1 year without the need of topping up. I'm dong the same for my DIGI.

It'll be cheaper to sign up a plan with the sg telcos, especially if you want 3G connection.

Not free

For iPhone there is only a one-time charge, when you first download the app. Thankfully, Apple lets you re-download WhatsApp for free, as many times as you need. Please remember to use the same AppleID each time.

For all other phone types (Android, BlackBerry, Windows Phone, and Nokia), WhatsApp is free to download and try for the first year. After which, you have the option of subscribing to an additional year of service for $0.99 USD.

Ya, Apple has the upfront $0.99.

But for the other platforms, I haven't been charged the annual fee yet. I've had it on Android for 3 years now. Every anniversary, the expiry date clicks over another year. Same for BB so far.

good for you

I understand where you're coming from, I also acknowledged that their products are far from perfect, it's really up to an individual how much they are willing to splurge on something. A great example would be designer goods biggrin.gif
I am using the iPhone, first generation iPad and a Nano- don't consider myself a fanboy but I really enjoy the "experience". Must admit I am not smart enough to use an adroid laugh.gif, way too complex.

It does look like they are trying to restrict competition from alternatives but it also could be marketing gimmicks, free advertisement from all the court cases drool.gif
*
I do agreed that Apple is far from perfect, in fact nothing will be prefect. That's why Apple never do market research, you'll go nowhere asking every tom, d|ck and harry what they wants. The good thing that is coming from Apple 'monopoly' is the ease of synchronisation.

Overheard at the counter this morning, you will need to place a deposit for iPhone5 even if you're a S pass holder.

I noticed that its way easier to get a job if you have some "contacts" within a company or specific industry who can vouch for you or recommend you. That was how i got my previous 2 jobs. The last job i had hardly required me to have a lengthy interview with the recruitment officer since i knew both her as well as my future superior who was the one who recommended me for the position.
*
I don't know how true is for other industries but for OnG I'm currently in, we know most of the people in this circle and most move around this circle as well. so contacts play a large part in 'getting in'
