Nice !

job hunting is no joke man...especially for fresh grad like me...

the time i have my phone interview, i just freshly graduate and just started working at malaysia only 4 months by that time? can i consider as freshie?haha

Job hunting is about patient and timing, actually i think the better practice of job hunting for freshie is to look for job during last month of your study. maybe you are busy with exam, but you still can make out of time for it. just my two cents.

However, any work pass holder, who is not a resident of Singapore, may drive a foreign-registered vehicle in Singapore only if ALL these conditions are met:
He is the registered owner of the vehicle.
He resides outside Singapore.
He has a valid insurance certificate and road tax to use the vehicle on Singapore roads.
The vehicle is kept or used outside Singapore for a total period of 6 hours or more every day.
The vehicle has an Autopass Card to validate its entry/ exit at Woodlands and Tuas Checkpoints and to pay for VEP/ toll charges.

I think the quote is not the one she is asking for, as she want to drive sg car in sg, not foreign-registered vehicle.

To drive a vehicle in Singapore, you must possess a valid Singapore driving licence for the class of vehicle that you want to drive. This requirement applies to all citizens and permanent residents of Singapore and also foreigners who are residing in Singapore for more than twelve (12) months. Foreigners who reside here for less than twelve (12) months must possess a valid foreign licence and International Driving Permit (IDP) issued by an authorised body in their country of origin e.g. the Automobile Association (AA). If an International Driving Permit is not available, an official translation of your foreign licence in English is required. Driver from ASEAN member countries only need to possess a valid driving licence issued by the relevant driving licence Authority in order to drive in Singapore without IDP.

Erm, are you too busy to read through what people had post to you? you can drive SG car using malaysian license for the first 12 month you are here, after 12 month, you need a singapore license, is this clear enough?

If you are looking for budget items, go to
http://www.qoo10.sg/
or
http://singapore.gumtree.sg/

and search and read what you want. I got some good bargain from here when i move in.  Mind you, some does not offer delivery.
Another easier way is just go to the nearest mall and look around.  seahorse mattress is cheap and good and if you are lucky they normally have promo going on.

qoo10 item quality is not assure, you must read all review carefully and take your own risk, sometimes you even need to deliver back if faulty to get exchange.

The reason I asked is because there's much talk around me about "working in Singapore is better". Everyone blinded by the exchange rate and think they could land an above average pay in SG bcoz we are considered foreigners. Or with hopes of getting out of msia.

However, I have relatives and friends there. And I visit SG once a year. I see the problems an average sg-rians suffers and its obviously not a fairy land like most people think.

So I was wondering, do you guys really feel a major impact/ life changing experience compared to before? I said feel, bcoz there's no accurate measurement or comparison between 2 different living conditions.

Singapore is not a fairy land, then how about malaysia? if you compare malaysia and singapore, which is better? for me, maybe i come from small town, so i feel SG better in term of working. In term of family and friends, i would say malaysia given that i work in my hometown, if i work outside of my hometown, the idea of staying a distance from family is the same. i asked my parent i can choose to work in SG or KL, they prefer me to go SG as it is safer and they noneed to worry so much. but this is just my 2 cent.

I also got the survey thing and I am only an EP holder. The letter says if you finish the survey they sent you a limited edition EasyLink card FOC. Until now I wait also haven't seen it after finishing the survey online.  sad.gif

Maybe because I answer no if you intend to take up PR, etc....  smile.gif

I didnt notice it say if complete survey will get a limited edition easylink card, but the letter already throw away. tongue.gif
