enermax,

marine telco in Petronas ICT , i guess for MMHE pasir gudang?
since you already moved to Johor and stay with your parents, then it is easier to decide , as you had moved from KL > JB already.
Well, u have decided already

its a good offer if 1:1 and even better if the Britain co even give u CPF encashment, which you can save to UT for long term as EPF saving.

like keelim said, mentally and physically prepared for daily commuting in/out SG via Woodlands. Also be mentally and physically prepared working here as its not the same as working in malaysian environment in petronas/mmhe/iperintis.

Hope your EP approved without problem.

anyway, answering your question with my little exp of commuting. Lester1987 has more details.

Cost wise : MY bike vs SG bike
MY bike
Daily S$4 VEP
Daily S$5 ERP if no IU - if your route to office has ERP gantry activated during your travelling to office.
Else pay SG$100+ for IU installation.
Petrol can fill in MY Ron95
Pakai till bike kaput or 20 yrs ++
Can buy Naza Blade 250
Kapcai EX5 cheap to buy and maintain.

SG Bike
No VEP
ERP paid as per gantry charged
Petrol still can fill MY Ron95
Pakai till 10yrs (if new) or buy used renew COE later (S$2k)
3rd party ins for <200CC is ~ S$300
Kapcai price is 1:1 MY price.

lester,

straightaway fine? then it is worth it to install IU for MY bike, compared to MY car.
btw, the fine are deducted from your Autopass card at checkpoint?

your kapcai insurance y so expensive. my 200cc scoot S$300~ from directasia.com.

naza blade is a lucky guess. but, I strongly suggest , if your future co in Sg is office hour based job, e.g non-flexible shift, better buy a used EX5 or any other cheap bike. Zerg rush to SG in AM and back to MY in PM can be pretty nasty for you and your Blade.

MMHE was a guess since I thought you already moved to JB.

Lester, big bike stuck in Causeway jam is not good.
Zerglings do not care for others as you care for yourself. Need to get construction earplugs also if you want your hearing protected. Loud, honking zerglings are another thing.

If you are bike lover, for sure she will be scarred everyday. Kena the signal broken, everyday will feel angry.
Big bikes also cannot push slowly so have to keep on running the engine and play FREE, gear 1, FREE. Very tiring lah.

oh ya, i'm a safe driver/rider and old also. >30yr

enermax
if now u stay gelang patah, better follow 2nd link around 42km based on Googlemap....but your office is in bukit timah rd = near to woodlands la.
mutiara rini houses ~500k RM,

lester,
i dun wan to join the fun of having balls kecut to marbles when near SG CIQ. Y cannot queue quietly like in foodcourt i cannot brain.

from my experience, the lane is already jammed, massive or not, no point honking and making things more stressed. And yes, they are honking like a monkey got horn first time. not being considerate at all. Queue quietly la, i dun see any problem being quiet, but zerglings are used to it.

megadisc, u are so lazy and kept on putting no value comments to kick up your post count. good luck on your job hunting.

driving in via 2nd link, apart from VEP, 2nd is the toll. rather than driving to JE and part, better drive directly to Tg Pagar like Mackiddo said or just take bus from Gelang Patah? Is your shift pattern ends after midnight? else, stay on JB side, take woodlands.

deodorant, moving to sg with childrens is not cheap. HDB will be almost $2K, childcare costs a bomb, and public school have no place for 3rd class citizen.

enermax no need to convert lah. just use My for a year, and see how. please read there is a condition, where you will need to convert after 1 year if you reside in SG. Key is Asean , relevant driving license authority

read below


as for license cancellation, JPJ will block but not cut.(but we dunno really block or not as per Ivan said he could still renew after convert) and Singapore TP side also won't cut your license.

if you worry, then before extract, renew for 5 years straightaway. then extract > do conversion.
but then again, no point also as your SG driving license valid in Msia.

amad108, if it challenges too much on religion line, just move back to MY or quit the job. Its your personal call. Hope your PM can re-shift you back to MY

Was on the same FY3546 flight . was a bit panic when they have not asked passenger to board the flight by 3.00pm and announced redang flight canceled. heard from another fy passenger, berjaya air cancelled flight the day before (19th) due to technical. but on 20th was weather in redang was bad.

Luckily no cancellation as flying alone with my toddler. tomorrow returning to sg

Yeah, was very relieved even they called to board! Everyone looks anxious to get on the plane to return home.

keeystar cheap mixed rice would be around ~2.50 - 3.00 average. common in many food courts .you should save on other expenses instead of food as it keeps you going in this hectic city

Motorbike parking free, covered and quite safe - persada convention, ground.floor. Just have to walk from behind public bank cross to city square n cross jb sentral.

Mbjb shud tow all the cars away. They are affecting traffic around jalan trus.

If u wanna be sure, just go n take a look there..covered summore.

My experience firefly either friday evening or any weekday flights, always at least 90% full, so the demand is there, especially friday evening SIN-IPH and Sunday evening/Mon AM IPH-SIN. the least tiger can do is to pounce on the weekend trip also ok. no need to be every day. just dilute the monopoly can already.

always has been considering to land in PEN instead but not worth the time/fare saved from it.

hope get approval

js - if u consider whole unit for you of course expensive, but sharing 4pax, ok la condo with facilities

my pain in the ass maybe can be temporarily relieved if the double tracking completed soon so i can take express train from Ipoh to taiping or KLIA>KL Sentral>Taiping as now taxi charges rm140 for ipoh-taiping route.

NETS McDonalds Flashpay card - 5% cashback McD, 7E, Chang Kee, Starbucks , Coffee Bean, Fairprice.

The catch? 5% rebate until Dec 2013. Capped at $10/mth so ~ $500 spending/mth

thanks for the info on the maid cost. less argument with the other half totally > maid cost sounds very attractive , its the thought of having another complete stranger in house is stopping me n waifu having a maid. cost saving from having bfast n dinner at home, only significant if having more than just 3 pax at home excl maid, as we do not spend much eating outside.

childcare wise, we were lucky that had only to queue for 1mth+ for infant care, now she is in toddler class. was a SAHD for couple of month. next year school fee up 5%.

mackiddo petrol pump station still considered branches of OnG, retail and supply chain side still in the same industry

afiqsabri 3 yrs exp - $4.5k in SG, so now we could roughly estimate what pump master chief jitshiong earns

fiona example of condo/x6 might be the target of most of young working couple in singapore la. can be a good inspiration and shown possible as another couple also shared they managed so save 150k/yr, while enjoying their life here with michelin restaurant.

jumping from engineering to banking?
what are you working as right now, resulting in you, making the leap?
