Planning to switch industry, yes. If not, then 50-50. Master in engineering still got use, depend how you use it.

My colleague has been doing that for nearly 2 years. He looks very tired everyday, but still do-able. Just rent a room and go home in the weekends, health more important.

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?

I actually think it lies with what are ur prospects after obtaining these 2 masters degrees.

Engineering masters degree.
Does construction engineering needs masters degree in engineering?
How far will u go with a masters degree in engineering?

Finance masters.
I actually have no idea. It just came across my mind.
It just seems that the finance industry somehow seem to overshine engineering degrees although in fact engineering requires more effort and time.

Contemplating.

Wait for your HR to give you the IPA. It will state on the letter whether MOM requires you to do health check or not. It's a very basic health check for TB, HIV, etc. Some people need to do the health check, others aren't.

Also, welcome to the club, PM your mobile number or FB to MacKiddo if you're interested in joining us for chat yumcha gatherings etc

Hi
The IPA letter will state if you need to do checkup or not. This is at the discretion of MOM.

How far you go depend on you lo... I don't know about mechanical engineering, but in civil there is one master that can help you in the future, when you want to get the professional license. For other case, I don't see it yet, maybe I haven't reach that level.

In terms of ROI, engineering can never compare to finance one, too far out. If want money, don't stay in engineering. Other satisfaction maybe still ok.

Hmmm.. Ya, I'll prob give it a shot before deciding if I should stay in Sg. Thanks for the advice tho!

Aaaah, I see~
Thank you Will do and would be delighted to join you guys

Aite, understood. Thank you

A kerbau tilling the earth each day requires a lot of effort and time. But that doesn't mean what the kerbau does is worth a lot of money.

excluding PUB?hmm....not really worth thou. plus you mentioned that previous few months the tenants no need to pay for the bill, how come now need? any idea what happen?

btw, if tenant need to pay the bill, how much per person(how many ppl?) for your new rent unit?


like other mentioned, IPA stated or you can ask HR what to do next, just tell them you don't know. is ok

tough if dun see yourself at early stage

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?

Hey all, anyone interested for yumcha on weekends?
I have invites to a nice Bar with free drinks tonight.
Let me know if anyone is interested to catch up with drinks on the house!

latest mean not more than 29/03 right? from today until 29 is about one week, i guess is normal process.

CW2 to Queen Street is fast - no stops along the way like 170 and takes less than 30 minutes to reach Queen Street.

If take CW1 to kranji, then assuming you take train at kranji via North South Line (Red color line), this line travels really slow as there are 18 mrt stops. This will take more than 40-45 min. If taking the East West Line (Green color line), still need to switch train at Jurong East MRT to bugis. Also time consuming.

You probably save a little because CW2 is Rm2.50 (About S$1) direct from JB CIQ to Queen Street, compared to the amount you spend on your fare card.

A cool Bar near Tanjong Pagar. Free flow of cocktails
PM me if interested as I have limited invites.

Is there a 'cool' bar in Tanjung Pagar ? Have been clubbing for quite a while but rarely heard of anything at Tanjung Pagar.
