Go download the SBS Iris app. It will tell you how many minutes more the bus will be reaching your bus stop. If you know the time maybe you will be less frustrated.

Cigarettes if you smoke, open pack, 11SGD vs 10RM now? I stop around 10SGD, never keep track anymore. Never like to wait for luggage, light stuff inside my hand carry like coffee, cookies, supplements that can't be found here.

Tenom coffee?

Just bring the minimum you need to survive 1-2 weeks. I came here with 2 luggages, now I am moving back and have been transferring my stuff back alternate week since CNY, still got more than half of the boxes left.

Will be based in Malaysia, now is transition period, one week here one week there. If things go smoothly, most of the time will be in Malaysia and fly back for meetings.

I sharing room with my GF, she come here once a while during the holidays. Landlady really welcome her every time, and ask her to come often and cook her lunch when I am working. You have to discuss with the owner before signing to see if they allow or not and how much. Some due to religion, personal reasons, and don't want a couple. My previous Muslim landlord don't allow due to religion reason because we are not married, my other previous Muslim landlord allow but charge a very high daily rate.

Bugis, Lavender, Kallang to the right. Tiong Bahru, Redhill to the left. Mine is 550 (consider shared room with my GF) at Lavender, 5-10 minutes bus to North Bridge Road depend on which area in the road.

No company there one, I working from home in pyjamas .

Found through agent. Next to the bus station for bus going KL, PG those, next time come here take bus can find me yum cha if I in SG. Nearer to the Nicoll Highway circle line MRT, 10 mins walk to Lavender MRT. Include PUB but no internet so have to apply the mobile broadband.

Ya, the blocks opposite Golden Mile. Friday night here jam pack.

Agent fee for your part - One year contract half month rental, 2 year contract 1 month rental. Owner will pay his part for his agent. Forgot need GST or not.

If you rent a room, utilities most of the time will be included in the rent. Share unit without owner mostly divide equally. Ask them clearly how much if not included. See first if new bill come in a lot more then ask you to pay those kind of thing don't belief so much. Be prepare to argue every month if not stated clearly in contract.

Something broke in your unit, who fix and who pay?

I also brought 5k first time I come here, gone in one month .

If you are saving 20% of your pay, or 1k if your pay is more than 5k, then the CPF contribution should not be significant for you. Consider it as saving for your future home here and a 15-16% pay increment from your employer that you can't use yet.

Deodorant said already in the previous page.

If you work in Bedok, stay around Bedok, its a residential area with a lot of flats and people. Don't see any HDB flat near to Payar Lebar MRT. 33% of your pay for rented accommodation alone... You decide yourself whether worth it or not.

Nothing really where got free lunch one. You are paying for all those benefits every month.

Either you are well overpaid or really under spent. 80% or more saving is a rare figure.

Apologize toughnut for my shallow knowledge, not an elite standard. Can never reach his standard already. How to ever be under 30 again

Use skype if you want to save. Subscribe the monthly unlimited, around 10 euro per month to Malaysia, Singapore and other countries. Free call to MY landline, SG mobile and landline.

3k sgd is possible and already on the low side. Depend on where the degree is from, some might get 4-5k if you work on site, civil side.

What you want to know? Civil/Mechanical/Electrical? Got another active one from the M&E side .

Same situation . Just go back often if you have time during the weekends. You from PG? Plenty of flights/bus going there, and affordable. You can plan your flight/bus friday night, then come back sunday night. Tiring but still young can afford to do that.

By the requirement yes. The final year before applying for interview must be local (take 2 exams before you apply for interview), reside in Malaysia for 6 months I think. But it is very hard to pass the interview if you only have that 6 months to 1 year local experience. Those things we practice in SG are not all applicable to MY. For SG PE the first degree is important. Where your degree from?

I from Sabah civil side, no buildings there all tree so I have to come here.

A lot of UTM seniors are here. You know any? Just come on Saturdays and buy Strait Time go back and look for jobs bah.

You want big firm MNC then Aecom, TYLin, Arup, Meinhardt, CPG, PB those. Local firm then you have to find yourself to see the company good or not. My opinion is that you find a PE that have time and willing to teach and guide you. More important than salary. After 4-5 years you can and should stand up on your own. Design engineer don't earn much. Consider this 4-5 years as paying for tuition fee because of the pay. I think you need to take a MSc here because PEB don't allow UTM to sit for the first exam. You have to check yourself don't take my words. I only remember one of my UTM friend said something like that.

Now then you know. No people use their real name in forum one la scare people don't know you? By the way, 1.5m pool is not a toddler pool ok, you want to drown your nephew isit. The pool for him to swim not for you two to enjoy.

Don't dare to do, your neighbours all rich people later little thing also sue I no money pay. Told your bf the procedure and method already, ask him study more at night la. He can do himself also, don't want to do for you free only. You ask him la just beside you I told him everything I know for your case. Need to start soon, the authority need some time to approve before construction. About there already. 5-6 months to get your thing done and running.

Let me do this for the new people that come SG as I gone through the process recently.

Check here -> http://app.peb.gov.sg/Html/pe_approved.html

If don't want to read - Summary: Only UM bachelor degree is recognised. For other schools in Malaysia, normally they would take a MSc/PhD in the two universities here to be recognised. 4 years experience, 2 exams, 1 interview, and done.

Pay wise, really depend on yourself how you use it.

Recognize by? Which field btw.

Sad ah, you own self as engineer but never mention engineering as a profession... Pride no more? Oz demand for engineer quite high.
