It's a marketable tool but why are you concern if it gives you an edge to your competitors? As long as it is value added to your application, you should just market it. For a language that is spoken and understood by 1.5bn people, the context should be how your proficiency in the language helps you and your job grow.

Hi guys,

Need some advice on transportation. I need to go to pasir gudang from singapore by taking public transport. Anyhow, I have asked my colleague how to go there, they ask me to take a taxi to Kotaraya then take local malaysia taxi to the destination. Anyone took before? I would like to know is there any other places to take the taxi who took passengers to Kotaraya other than Bugis? hahaha... Noob here.. not a singaporean or a johorian.. lol..

Hi guys, need your help.

I'm trying to reach an old colleague of mine - Rufin M. He should be working in the banking sector in Sg.

I saw his photo taken together with a bunch of LYNers in Sg. (photo taken late 2012 for a LYNers in Sg BBQ) hence this question posted here.

Thanks in advance.

Anyone know why Singaporeans damn like to queue-up?

I noted mostly willing to queue-up for a seat in the restaurant for 90 mins just for a bowl of Japanese Ramen for instance. My Goodness...

Need to so kiasu?

What I mean here is I cant figure out why they are willing to spend 90 mins instead of going to the next door to have Western?

I seldom see this kind of scenario is KL. I wont waste this kind of time.

because the food is good and the shop is small ?

Wait till you see in HK, some sushi places with the queue (especially if they have special promotion / sale) from outside the shop to the streets.

err...those that queue, are those that really want to eat at that particular shop and don't mind waiting.

Those are the good life people that can afford both the time and money for that bowl of ramen. They are not kiasu, they call it good life. Most of us here don't have either one, too busy working whole day for peanuts. Have to cook dinner everyday after tiring day to save some sgd than eating out at restaurant. cry.gif

Happens everywhere lah... in cities where the density is high and demand > supply.

Just look at Din Tai Fung... from their native Taiwan to SG and HK... always a big long queue during makan time.

My observation... this type of queuing happens in a public transport dependent city. Let's say you organise all your pakcik makcik, take an hour's walking, bus & MRT to get to the restaurant... and it happens to be crowded. What do you do? Walk away and come back another day? And eat at some other makan place that nobody wanted to go to in the first place? If you look for another desirable place to eat... it probably involves another hour of walking, bus & MRT? And no guarantees that there's no queue...

So once you're there... you feel committed already from all the time & public transport discomfort it took you to reach there.

Whereas in KL, if this shop got a lot of people, just get back into your car and drive to another nice shop to eat. And your car is just parked (illegally) in the street nearby. Singapore must park in HDB car park, or shopping center basement - and it probably took you a long time to find parking... so you really don't want to give it up after you park. Committed again.
