I just wanted to rant here after just a few months of working here. One thing I somewhat came to a conclusion to is that I will go back Malaysia after a few years.

I dunno about the rest of you, but the lifestyle here is so much of a pressure cooker. I feel stressed at everything. Going to work is stressful. Trying to find a place to eat at Raffles is stressful. Finding a seat is stressful.

I think I'm having issues coping with the generally high stress levels of Singapore.

Hey bro thanks a lot for ur feedback, really appreciate it. But sgd900 is almost 50% of my salary. I dont need air cond or other stuff. I just need a bed, fan & toilet, my budget is max sgd900 including the PUB. Is this realistic to get at a nice location near public transport spots? If cannot then i have to cancel moving to Singapore in my list.

I had a very bad experience b4 when renting room but have to share common toilet, some of the things I seen still haunts me till today. So I rather stay in my parents house when my room not master have my own toilet so I don't have to relive that nightmare. But I'm kinda bored staying here ATM I want try life in Singapore.

which place is not bored if you not willing to get out of your room ?

I've tried Causeway link, n it works. Transnational, no experience yet. Should be quite reliable. Transnational is a pretty big company. Try call them.

usually u buy online, u still need to go to the counter to redeem the actual ticket.

Hi wanna ask which telco prepaid data is the fastest?

But i saw other ppl still can surf facebook, i only can whatsapp...

Please recommend, thanks!

Hi guys, thanks for the feedbacks. I've gotten a single room at Depot Road for 700 dollar, excluding PUB. The owner said that if electric bill is not high, then they will cover the bills and if its higher than average, then the tenants would need to divide some among ourselves. The previous few months, tenants did not need to pay for the bills cos the bill's cheap. Living with owner... seems quite mafan but place is very nicely designed and clean. So overall, I think shld b ok gua... hopefully not too much trouble and fingers crossed!

There's one more question though. The HR told me that my EP is approved. I kept hearing (from family members and friends) that I need to do a full body checkup before/after I apply/get my EP but I've asked several employers (including those that interviewed me before) but all of them said that I don't need to do so. Can anyone advise me on this please?

Guys,

My friend attended an interview with KPMG SG on 18/03. She said it went well but they told her they will get back to her latest by 29/03. Does it usually take that long for them to decide or get the approval?

Anyone can help me give some advice on going to JB from Woodlands?

A) After i reach MRT station in Woodlands, are there bus from that MRT station? Are the Woodlands CIQ located nearby with the MRT station?
B) if i wan to take bus, which bus i should take at Woodlands CIQ? Are there ticket counter for CW or SBS bus there?
C) can you guys explain again what should be done when we reach immigration checkpoint? I read frm the forum that we need to be aware of something but I forget already where I read it ( alot of post in previous thread and have done alot of searches but unable to find it). Anyone can refreshed me what I need to do?

Sorry for asking noob question. First time to travel to JB from SG. Hope to get feedback on this. Thanks!!

Hi... anywhere I can get good and cheap mattress?  The price here is crazy compared to kl...

other than that mostly ask me do sales, call centre jobs.

i feel my degree is useless. wan cry liao.

my mum want me to be in sg so much, i personally dislike singapore day by day.

other than the currency, nothing attracts me.

think about future, how do i go higher with a job like customer service?

i feel so absurd now.

(A&B) i just going to area around JB.. Looking for place that have cash deposit machine, place to eat and shopping complex.. Any idea that i can find the place around Larkin Bus terminal ( walking distance)? Or should i get off the bus before i reach Larkin bus terminal?

If let say i want to go back sg, must i go to larkin bus terminal to board the bus? Or are there any bus stop around JB central city that I can alight to board the bus?

Thanks for all the feedback guys..

Why would one pay $140+ for a bag which is not even leather ? 

Maybe I won't understand .. hahahaha.

If you feel your aunty nagging, you can opt to rent outside, which will cost you a little more ( I am assuming you are staying with her). The extra money will buy you more sanity as you seems to be very affected by your aunty's comments.

I read page one again just now, I find it hard to keep my transportation fee below 60bucks.

IZzit because I take too much mrt and bus? More than any average singaporean?

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.

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?
