QUOTE(yhoong12 @ Mar 21 2013, 08:51 AM) oic, you look for common room first, then go and see the room yourself, check the environment and house owner, you can ask any question like , how many tenant, toilet is only use by u and so on, they dont mind if you ask question, just dont ask those nonsense one can d.  i guess you mostly like easy to get bored at the same place for a long time which most people also same, but singapore is even more bored as you like start a new life here, less friends, want save money less go out, will this bored you?  which place is not bored if you not willing to get out of your room ? |

QUOTE(JohnJon82 @ Mar 25 2013, 09:20 PM) They should be the consultant for the project. Since you representing them, your job should be to ensure the work done is according to their drawings and specifications.Be careful on site, fall, accidents etc. Drink more water weather very hot. this is pretty true. inspector job is never easy. must know all those design specifications. anything less than your due diligence would probably end up with a lawsuit/fine/jail term. |

I think people do have choice. If they don't like certain place/country why don't they just leave ? No point ranting over things that can't be change.

How much does a night out clubbing cost in Singapore?I'm sure after a long working week some of your go clubbing? you are talking about cover charge ? Not too sure about cover charge but normally a bottle of liquor like whiskey, vodka or VSOP cost around S$300 in top clubbing place, which let you admit 3 people/bottle. |

QUOTE(Double_Ace @ Mar 29 2013, 10:02 PM) How about cover charge bro? lol sgd 300 thats about all my ringgit gone. I dunno bout cover charge coz I never club alone, ever. Also never drink beer during clubbing. Maybe S$30-$50 + 1 free drink ? SGD$300/3 = S$100 per person bro. Where you wanna go ? St James or Clarke Quay ? |

QUOTE(jitshiong @ Apr 2 2013, 08:57 AM) I think Singapore Gomen dun encourage motorcycles... it's really hard to find motorcycles parking. Even at the MRT, you can see bicycle parking, but no Motorcycle parking. My friend rides a bike, he always have to risk getting summons from illegal parking. But he's got no choice... there's always some motorcycle parking lot inside the carpark lot. |

QUOTE(JohnJon82 @ Apr 2 2013, 11:50 AM) For one unopen pack, if they catch u, fine 200. For one carton, 2000, and some smuggling charges. They don't want you to resell the cigarette. Caught you smoking no SCDP wordings cigarette in SG, fine 200, issue summon. The argument the checkpoint custom let you pass cannot stand. nah. dhzh4x says can. let him bring all he wants. |

QUOTE(newaisa @ Apr 2 2013, 07:53 PM) Hi All, I seriously need some advice here. My contract with my current company is going to expire on Monday, 8th. I still have 1 day annual leave to utilize before contract expires. » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Now, I guess you all know that for contract based jobs, I don't have to resign or give any sort of notice, provided 1 year contract has been fully served.
My current company actually intended to renew me. But they do it in the final week prior to contract expiry.
Anyone who cares about their future will not wait till final week...which means....I have already found a new and better paying job elsewhere.
Now, here's the problem. I have got 1 day annual leave remain and wanted to offset it so instead of working until Monday, my last day will be Friday.
But he won't let me utilize the annual leave!
My boss actually BURNED himself thinking I have got nowhere else to go, therefore decided to take it slowly on renewing me.....
He emailed: "Monday is your last day, then why are you taking annual leave on Monday? We don't have time for that"
(More than 50% of people left under his brilliant leadership, therefore that is why "we don't have time for that occurs")
Can anyone actually give me some advice??
He still proudly thinks this is totally normal to notify me on final weeks whether he wants to renew me or not. And refused to let me utilize my final day of annual leave I am entitled to.
Now this kind of "company leaving" is totally different from resigning from permanent position where you must give notice period.
Since there is no notice period involved, even the last day is considered a "normal employment day" and not "notice period" whereby I can't take any leave.....
I am bad with debating on this kinda stuffs....anyone can tell me how I should reply?  although the annual leaves is your entitlement, it's still subject to approval from your superior. He got every right not to grand you the leave. He could instead pay you for it when you resign. |
