is tat possible to find the one bed room apartment under SGD$1000 in singapore?

legal or not one... those illegal ones like to collect heavy deposit then cabut. case in mind that it is a rental flat that cannot be sublet out.

nope.. doubt it will drop any further unless msia gets another rating downgrade...

well, cash market among all the changers are bad.. d best is RP through remittance at 2.518 only...

at midvalley still can get 2.52 cash, but risk being rob 

yah, most of us i believe have impression that sg very safe, but all i can say is i got conned by similar case before (L-shaped studio HDB apartment). Agent said it's legal, owner said they own it - but all that is just talk only.

End of it, lost a few k's, spent time having a disappointing experience with police & CASE ping-ponging the case to each other, and got nothing back, so caveat la.

Where's the best place to meet new people in sg? Any activity to recommend?

yup. mostly. it's like striking a lottery to get a understanding owner. most tend to have extreme cost cutting thoughts

What's a pub crawl ???

Go to one pub after another. But drinks are expensive in SG

Where you go ? so cheap $20 with shot summore.

One drink in each pub around $10+ already, 4 = $40++, Normally in one pub with a few round of drinks (or jug), already spend around $50+ lioa.

I rather hangout at my favourite Irish pubs

Hi guys, i am not sure if this is the right place to ask

i am staying in tampines and would like to go to east coast park, what will be the easiest and cheapest way?

My thought is MRT from Tampines -> Eunos, then take cab from Eunos MRT exchange to East Coast

Any other better option?

may i know how much of walking distance? will ops for another option if too  much of walking distance between bayshore -> east coast park

go with girl  

i beg to differ. My employment starts on the first and i only have 2 weeks left to go. And most cheap rooms around 500$ are snapped out within days. My plan now is to arrange multiple viewings on the day itself, arrive very early morning and depart at midnight. The 1 day time window should be enough i guess. I dont have to carry luggage for now because, my company will be sponsoring my flight the day before employment starts. Arrive last minute and backpack with thousands of dollars in my pocket is a nono regardless how good the security is. And too bad i have no friend here.

thats wat i thought also.. or ill just go on sat sun.. or maybe i will just backpack for 1-2 nights in case for these scenarios lol. But feel kinda unsafe since i will be bringing deposit money as well.. If really no choice then hotel only.

there is some exception of course, eg. if the houseowner is retired couple, I can view the house in the afternoon before I fly back at night.

Hi guys, is buying luggage in
Jb more cheaper then buying in Sg? Thinking of buying American tourister or samsonite. If the difference of price is huge, then it might be worthy for me to drag the luggage across kastam.

everyone can stay in JB. It all depends on how much you are willing to sacrifice to enjoy the 2.5x conversion.
I am working in Tampines (even further than Ubi) and I stay in JB. Does that answer your question?

Mustafa sell quite a variety of luggage. For AT, price wise but imo most is old stock and got scratch. I will drop by IMM later to check out the samsonite outlet. Thanks for replying.

I ride bike. From causeway to tampines only takes me 30 mins if i ride slowly. if vroom vroom 20 mins can reach.
anyway its not that bad. I believe I leave my home almost the same time like my colleague that goes to work from Woodlands taking bus.

that would take 2 hours the very minimum

I got both medical card for SG and MY. My MY agent told me I can claim full amount in SG using the MY one? She scam me?

Thx... cause i need to attend an interview at 10am tomorrow.. wonder can i make it or not..currently at melaka lol

Are your aunties in KL/PJ or are they in SG? If they are not in SG then I'd take their words with a pinch of "grass is always greener" talk. Coming to SG now isn't all a bed of roses. MRT is over capacity and so rush hour commute is a b****. Basic 1.5 car costs $110k and needs $45k downpayment; HDB you can't even buy until 3 years PR and even then it's $150k downpayment.

Assume 450k 4-room flat, 20% d/p = 90k, almost 8% ABSD = 36k, COV = 20k, misc = 4k ... tadaaaa 150k.

20% d/p out of which 15% can be taken from CPF. In my case ABSD was paid by the bank. I didn't have to come out cash for the ABSD. COV mine was 35k..but 80% move in condition....just repainting n some minor repairs.
3-room at B Batok...SGD345k....cash needed was less than 90k.....

There's no 2 room HDB resale...u have to go private for a 2 room aka...1 living room n 1 bedroom
