Depends on where you're coming from..my current take home pay is only $600 and i can still survive..barely

oh, how much is the rental approx? foods permth? don't mind telling me how much you earn?

just make a trip to JB and get it there.

Rental can cost from SGD 400 to SGD 600 (If sharing) to SGD 700 to SGD 1k+ (If alone).
Food usually cost between SGD 300 to SGD 600/1k depending on how often you can eat cheap economical rice lol.

Regarding rental, don't mean to sound racist here...
but if you ever get a dirty housemate from countryside mainland china or some exotic countries.... good luck don't let the bed bugs bite.

there're dorms... ranging from @200 - 350

dirty housemate from msia or sg is ok?

Have you ever stayed with someone that stinks so badly that people can recognise you from smell alone ?
How about someone with a few kg of leftovers under their bed ?
Shoes/slippers are good for public toilets, streets and room too. The same pair BTW.
Or clothing cupboard that smells of piss, heck the entire place smells of piss.

Dirty usually means a whole different level when it comes to a certain group of people.
As dirty as some Malaysian and Singaporean may be, I've not met anyone who qualify in the above 4 criteria.

Need some tips from you guys. I tool an MC leave and I am fine though. I am going and must have to visit a clinic, what do I tell the doctor?

Then why did you take MC if you are feeling fine?

oo..I see....the currency rate mk me feel sg is a gd place to work..hmm..

Sounds like things you encounter sharing room in uni.

So you took fake MC to do something else rather than apply for leave, and now want us to teach you how to tipu the doctor? Just say migraine and diaorrhea lor.


SG is not a particularly happy place for freshies or (relatively) inexperienced hires now thanks to high rental, housing and car prices and almost-at-capacity public transport.

just wondering does most employer allow muslim to pray and do they allocate a prayer room in the office?

also, is it easy to find a mosque for friday prayer?

Well, last time i have bedbug issue with malaysians. the bed is very obvious with begbug spot on it yet she still use it.

there's no provision that mandate a requirement for Muslim prayer's room here in Sg. Most just take a short break from their daily routine and do their prayers.

for bedbugs and kutu elimination, pls contact our bro Tayhaithian, who is a SME on this.

prayer rooms in office? No. Never seen one. Space is a premium and they are not going to pay a premium so that a minority few can pray.
If yr a muslim and expect the same convenience or treatments u get in msia, you are in for a wake up call. Even halal food is hard to find (but not impossible unless its fast food). Mosque don't appear in every neighbourhood and taking time off for prayers on fri is frowned upon. And if you think the non muslims in msia are anti muslims wait till you hear what ordinary sgians say about muslims.

I select my housemates/roomates.
Most of that occurred to my close friends instead.
I know people who encounter this in both hostel uni and outside.

Bedbugs can occur to anyone regardless of hygiene, culture, race, location, time, etc etc.
The only trouble free way to get rid of them is by hiring an exterminator.

No-lah... they are not anti anything.

They just believe in AIYOT... All In Your Own Time. One's religion is one's personal issue. Spend your own time and money to pursue your personal issues.

Is that hard to get a job in SG ?
