hi all,

Just gt a job offer for a software developer job in SG and of course i accepted it. Currently serving 2 months notice in my current company and also planning on the relocation.

Will be working at Ubi Techpark. Still looking for room.

The big problem would be moving my stuffs, still deciding whether to go in by bus or plane as i'm staying in Penang.
Is there any problem bringing my desktop PC into SG? Will the custom tax me for electronic stuff so big?

sorry if it's a noob question since this is my 1st time relocating to another country biggrin.gif
