Beach Road stretch from Bugis to Lavender MRT. I stay near to the Nicoll Highway MRT in Beach Road. Single room 500, double room 600. Around Nicoll Highway will be like little Thai, but they are generally friendly people.

Thx for your reply. my working place will be around concourse, and since i never been to sg, im kinda blur with those places lol..
the single room 500 including utilities? can i have the landlord contact or any webpage for reference?
btw, the living expenses there expensive? (like foods)

suggest you go east of bugis for green or esplanade if circle... maybe 4-8 stations away..
thanks for your suggestions.
the expenses around esplanade expensive? dont wish to spend much on food since the rental isnt cheap...

O, Concourse is 2-3 minutes walk from Nicoll Highway MRT (circle line - orange colour). Lavender MRT will be 15 minutes walk (green colour line). So you can find house around this 2 MRT stations if you commute to work by MRT. Stay at Beach Road then you can walk to work.

I found mine through agent. The house I staying full already. 500 include utilities, but no air con. Go to the first post in this thread, got few links for rooms provided by TS.

Food is cheap if you eat at the nearby food court, 3-4 dollar for lunch and dinner. Cheapest 2.5 if you really want to save.

really thanks you for all these useful information, will look into it hehe rclxms.gif

err, those that i know in audit had already left..  no one stays long there

all d best and i wish u luck...
d famous places are raffles place the arcade/clifford centre, boon lay jurong point, mustafa, choa chu kang, bedok idunnowhere

do u want your rm in cash? or it would be better to transfer straight into your account?

remittance gives better rate, i got 2.545 today with remittance but of course i transferred double your amount

if you dont mind waiting, i do bulk transfer on and off, so a few ppl will group up with me and transfer one huge chunk so we have more bargaining power with the money changer.. feel free to pm me if you want to join
legally yes, but like what sientong says, it depends on material.. and i also believe it is important whether you made money out of it.. eg, play it at a commercial place, use it at karaoke... etc etc, if it is for personal consumption usually they wont go after you..

alright, great! now i have smt to spend during the weekend haha, thx
