yeah so sad ....though of going there while i am jobless XD

haha...ic..never mind i'll get consider whether to apply pr or not sooner or later... i'm just going to take my chances there..lol...still in the process of applying job..

sure not rich yet & don't feet rich too BUT...

it makes hell of a difference if you r able to save portion of your sgd for any oversea travel/holidays. one will sure appreciate sgd when you walk-in a money changer for usd, aud, euro, krw.... many many more not too mention thai, rupiah lo. COMPARE to exchanging them with RM .

the effect towards your spirit of buying/spending power when you are on holidays with sgd in your pocket oso makes a difference.

clicking the confirm pay for your internet booking oso makes a difference when you know you are paying in sgd AS you r EARNING sgd to fund your holidays.

oh holidays yea..
last time work in msia, have to save for years because i wanted to go to japan.
after i moved to sg, following year go japan makan angin already.

i just get to know that my friend at sg works 7 days a week...

scary.. lol...but with OT la of course..

must be construction...
same case with my colleagues

My friend also work in construction company, but she got no OT claim...

OT here pays well. People are actually fighting for OT slots here unlike in Malaysia

Bout feeling rich, this is so subjective. For me it kinda boils down to how much you have left after deducting your monthly necessity. People earning 10k here i can assure you is living the high life compared to Malaysia. Holiday is no longer domestic, is all about europe etc. LV bag? SGD1500 sap sap sui that is like 15% salary. Day day go shopping for new cloths and trying out fine dining restaurant and still have enough to sent home for parents and savings. Story of my friend, dreams for 10k earner in Malaysia.

If you are earning 3k or below, yea you will feel tight cause rents is not cheap. Still way better then scrapping for uncertainty future in bolehland.

ps: i am jobless now. so yea i felt like a beggar

But if want buy semi-d in SG, like they say, sell back side also cannot afford .

From the other point of view which cannot be measured by monetary value, SG has the higher security and safety factor compared to Malaysia. No ragut, no kidnapping at car park, no rape, no smashing of window when driving, no house break-in even without grills. All these worth more than any value of money can buy. Life changing yes, safety wise. On life style, similar for me here and MY.

i dun get OT.....
plus, i dun like OT. Rather spend my time with quality stuff.
money isn't everything

7 days a week of OT in construction can hit 10k+. But health go down exponentially, then spend 20k later for doctor visit.

LESS...not NONE

is it worth it?
u life will be work, eat, sleep
and the cycle repeats everyday...

worth living like this? u get 10k also no time to spend it....

Haha, ya... it'll be no life.. LOL

It amazes me that the fact Manila has the highest population density out of all cities in the region. I went there before and don't think I've seen much high rise residence building, although the traffic condition and planning is really bad.

Singapore: 7315/km2
Manila: 18562/km2
KL: 6891/km2

Yet we often hear complaints about Singapore being overcrowded.

Hi,

May I know is sgd5k ok for senior auditor position in a bank?
I have 4 years banking experience in Big4 before this.

Thanks

No comment on Manila cos I've never been there. But I suppose that's one of the reasons the Pinoys are so desperate to go overseas to work. As for KL, city centre might be almost as dense as SG but the Metro area, where the vast majority of us live, is only 252/km2.

hey.. may i know the exact location of this?

The same website did sell furniture but the choices might not be much. If term of prices not so sure, maybe you can try compare with outside.

Can afford also cannot buy because Singapore restricted foreigner from buying landed property. But still got exception to buy by getting approval from Minister for Law.
