Apparently using mobile data on a prepaid plan is extremely expensive!  sad.gif

that shows that u didnt do enough research?..

1gb for 1 month is $20 for prepaid..
2gb + 100mins + xx sms is $40 for postpaid..

i dun see prepaid being expensive to which extend..

Malaysia documents are accepted in SG regardless of what language they are in.
I submitted a polis report from Malaysia last time when I lost my IC, they happily accept it and get a Malay officer to process it.

since ppl were sharing about their rent.

my previous rent was $530, small single room at the back and everything is included @ toapayoh.

my rent now is $350, the same small single room at the back with no furniture. nothing. just water heater. no washing machine as well.

but i save a lot and my office is just across the street. so i saved transport too. still at toa payoh. smile.gif

hmm i should say i'm still a student but it's an industry i would consider entering if i were able to find a job in it - it's an industry i'm "trained" for

i'm looking at entry level positions and based on my observations, the starting pay is roughly the same number in MYR or SGD. between 2500-3000, increasing with the level of qualification.
*
i think i know which field u are talking about..
but do note that over the last few years... the industry is oversupplied with the fresh grads coming from many uni...
and most of the co. now dun really like to hire freshy and train them..

so I can see a lot of grads applies for intern post to show their passion in the field.. but anyway.. I dun think its as fancy as you would imagine it will be.. there are many other field that you can also consider and can possibly earn much higher pay.. haha..

the work life balance in asia countries are also not as good as the western's 1.. for example if you compared to australia.. lol

i know all this

by now i have no illusions

it's been a ride but it's only just beginning

at the end of the day though all related fields are difficult to get into, and if you want more pay you need to work more and work hard - it's crazy how few jobs there are anymore and it is almost like you need to be the top 5% and have insane luck
*
imo... you dun need to be the top 5%.. u just need to be above average.. and the rest is of luck already.. tongue.gif

anyway.. good luck smile.gif
