Every where also the same practices not only sg!... Closed down the company and transfer all the business to another sister company!... Usually, the company will make huge compensation to the staff who accepted retrenchment... Seldom company so free to help you looking for a job... Unless, the management is going to introduce you to their sister company, maybe!...

That's where the issue is actually.

Many companies, and to my knowledge esp. the US ones - differentiate between an education (ie. degree etc) and a professional membership like ACCA, CA, CPA etc. You lose that membership if you don't pay your fees. They don't consider these memberships equivalent to education.

Most accounting professional memberships require you to have an accounting degree before you can commence the program. Not so with ACCA and perhaps some old school apprenticeships with CA, MICPA. I heard ACCA has partnered Oxford Brookes to print degrees for ACCA candidates.

Hi guys, what's a good weekend activity for a bunch of young dudes and dudettes? My 4th month here and I'm struggling to figure out what to do during weekends (other than shopping)

Got exempted for 4 papers BBA in account can exempt more.

dota... dude vs dudettes....lol

Visit the zoo, etc. picnic at botanical garden. Go high tea, dimsum brunch. Pick up a hobby!

beach volleyball?
interested?

What did you do in KL?

KL was home. So I generally lazed at home.
My place here in SG needs more things, but i'm too stingy to buy things to decorate/gadgetify my house.

Otherwise will just be go shopping and lim teh around some kopitiam.

So looking for alternatives.

Any good foods worth going on a trip for around Singapore?

Hi my S Pass just got approved!

NOw she ask me go to any clinic to do hiv and xray test.

But I dunno which clinic to go. Any advice?

n y didn't u ask her that?

usually company has a panel clinic

In the email she stated any clinic wor..

then just go to any clinic that do the check up lo...

Ya lor. You can do exactly the same things in Singapore that you can do in KL. To me, the only difference is that if you don't drive in Singapore,.. things become just that little bit more complicated.

Anyway, I've taken to visiting condo show rooms during weekends. Chit chat with the chickadee agents and bankers, see what's out there and get some internal decor inspiration.
Hungrygowhere.com.sg I guess. Personally, if you live around the north, bus route 86 from AMK takes you past some pretty interesting restaurants on Yio Chu Kang Rd.

138, 851, 852, 853 from AMK does the same around Upper Thomson Rd as they go south into town.

Haha those chickadee agents and bankers won't layan me la. see me oso know no money HAHAHA.
I was bored in KL. But I'm also bored here. Gawd.

Will try out those food recommendations, since AMK and YCK is nearby to me.

means i bare the fees not the company lo right?

or maybe i ask later can claim or not lo..

in my case, the company pays for it...
not sure bout yours...

but my check-up is not for work pass application.
just my company policy

i'll email her again..
i just sked expensive only..

ooo YCK got nice food?

i just went to upper thomson rd yesterday and tried udder's ice cream~
