If there is one thing i love, it will be Changi's Kopitiam teh C ice.  Damn.... i willing to take that bus just to go there for it. So good!  Make sure is the short untie that make it. 

anyone been to Pulau Ubin? thinking of going for a day visit on either Sunday or Monday. Just cycle around enjoy the greenery and settle for some seafood lunch.

Mind to share what is the salary range for Chartered Accountant?

If you were rich, there is plenty of place great to live. Eg. India & other 3rd world countries, you be treat like a King, live in mansion with dozens of slaves. 

with a salary offered $1750... it is possible to survive with the living cost at singapore? pls advise

possible to survive but live a poor life cause saving will be your priority.
I think for new ppl planning to come here, be ready for de walk, you walk and stand and walk everywhere cause you wont be able to afford a car yet.  Really i thought staying near the mall is beneficial, man am i wrong.  Too near to take taxi and walking with 4 bags of groceries is not really fun.  Do you have friends here? If you dont, you better think up a hobby fast cause every time you go out is money.

If i am you and i can find a job that pays me 2.5k above in Malaysia, i would rather stick to Malaysia

p/s : refer page 1 for cost of living and start saving, your first month deposits will be a shocker.

rawrr i am such a ranting b**** today

did mine at woodlands raffles medical
the cost was around 48sgd

i just did mine today at AMK. my company ask me just go to any clinic. i did everything in the same area. no hassle. also 48SGD

1.basically once the Pass approved, go sg as tourist, just simply write on white card u gota stay 2weeks, hardly imigration ask such details.

2.then if the Pass require u to do health check (ie xray n hiv), print out the health check paper from MOM- which is given by company who apply the pass for u. (if no health check required, go direct to step 5 below)

3.go to any clinic. Just show the MOM paper (the title on the paper is: Ministry of Manpower, Medical Examination Form), and ask them how much the health check cost. Compare it with few clinic-mostly is almost d same la  . it shouldnt cost more than 50$. In Healthway Medical clinic (its a big chain in sg can find in many township) it cost SGD 44.90
No need fasting, just go in the morning. (for xray n HIV)
healthcheck result can be obtained the 3rd day in the morning.
NOTE: ask ur company if can claim. retain the receipt from clinic and claim to ur company account ppl! 

4.Once get the result, tell ur company immediately. They will update the result tru online to MOM. ( if ur company using MOM online registration all this while)
By the time MOM granted the Pass (which is in my case was on that day itself!), actually u can start work immediately. ur pass granted date will be base on this date. u officially in! 

5.Go get the Pass card physically (no need immediately, u can do this within few days-week, read instruction on MOM paper).
bring along whatever document needed. ur company should know this matter. usually its ur Passport, passphoto, medical result, and the MOM paper ur company printed out.
They will mention when u can come back to collect the card. it also within few days only.
NOTE: if possible do bring ur own pass photo with white background. They hv shop offer passphoto there, but it cost u like $6 just for 4 passphoto without softcopy.

6.Collect the card, bring it everywhere u go. if go back msia oso must bring this card along with ur passport. From this time onwards, u wont get stamp in ur pasport, they will just scan ur card. 
if want to be able to use the fast line in Sg immigration, u can register ur Pass card in Lavender. (i dont use this option, coz most of the time the normal imigraton line oso never hv long Q)
CMIIW ya, TS hopefully can stick this on pg 1, if nd sm edit n corection oso can

Any you are encouraging people to join a known lying organization?  .....

their char koay teow is sweet one!!! @#$%^&*()

YES!

the porridge also not nice.'

panmee also not nice.

and singaporeans are so proud with these.

i tried their bakchormee. apa benda nie.

Wait till u try their peppery bak kut teh and their hokkien mee. The hokkien mee is like mee with brown sauce.

The Singapore Hokkien mee quite nice albeit a bit different from my expectation of KL Hokkien mee. Famous one in Whampoa makan place.

this?

Talking about food I actually like the peppery BKT! It's more appetizing, but my kids can't eat it.

Other food court type SG food that I like -
The Curry soup based YTF
Chap Fan (considered cheap n good)

Food that I cannot accept -
CKT with black sweet sauce
Fish mee hoon with MILK!

Depends on what you do and where you do it.

Here's some MNC salary data I posted a while back... pretty accurate for direct employees of global MNCs that are maybe... US$20-30bn or larger.

//forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=2506532&view=findpost&p=57780087

The 30 qualified accountants I mentioned in my company's finance service center, their pay ranges from Exec to Snr Mgr/Director.

You must have underheard...

Hi.. i am currently working in sg for three months.. i have received another job interview invitation which the job that i felt more suitable and interest... but i dun know i should go for it or not... if i resign in such short period will it be harder for me to apply work pass next time? As i am holding e pass now..
Hope to get opinion here...
Thanks....

first of all, what kind of job that offers you this salary ?
if fnb line or shift work, i think u can save a lot because for sure you will have one meal in the hotel.

So , renting will cost around 600 dollar + transport to work 120dollar + makan 300 /month = 1020 dollar
so.. u save like 600 simply .
all you need to control whether are u a smoker ? if yes , another 200 dollar.
hobby or what u do during off day is important cuz that will determine whether how much u save the money.

a job at sbs transit...as a maintenance supervisor for rolling stock.... shift work...
