the BTT question can switch language.

Chinese <> malay <> English

if the questions is not very clear. try switch language u will see the question will straight to the answer.

extract = rm10
btt = abt SGD11
conversion = sgd50

if i am not mistaken, that is abt the cost u need

do note that for the extract, jpj officer needs to sign
"computer generated, no signature required" is considered bs now and they will ask u to go take the extract again.

I think there are generally 2 types of books. One is all the police signs and info (cheaper one) and there is the 300-400 questions and answer type. (more expensive).

Mine is the q&a type. So memorizing the type of questions and answer helps too! All I can say is all 50 questions I answered was in the book. It normally helps if your book is the latest version. I borrowed my friend's btt book from 5 yrs ago.. The questions were a little different.

Nothing to do with smart or not smart mang. the only part of BTT that is tricky would be the zig zag lines which Malaysia don't have. Everything else if you've been driving in Malaysia with non-kopi-O license previously with proper knowledge of the Basic rules of the road it is the same in Singapore as well hmm.gif

Ang Mo Kio itself? Anywhere along the bus routes you've listed out?

The place is nearer to Yio Chu Kang MRT but it seems difficult to find room around there.
Anywhere in Ang mo kio is convenient to transit over there?

I am actually not that familiar with Singapore.

I bet you're feeling lost at finding a room now biggrin.gif

I was in that situation like... 2 months back. Luckily now all alright.


Anyway... The best is that you can personally come down here to find one. Else it's quite hard as most owner here want to see the tenant him/herself before agreeing to let you move in. And the worst part is... They engaged the agent yet agent fee is paid by tenant and even though agent fee is paid by tenant, owner still can be picky about their tenant.

Get what I mean? biggrin.gif


Not familiar no prob one. It's really convenient here. Basically if you know your workplace is near Yio Chu Kang MRT, you can just find anywhere near any of the NS line MRT station, find somewhere more towards residential area instead of commercial to get some cheap food court and groceries. I'm now staying near green line, more towards the east coast and I find it really convenient to go around. I have access to the green line, take MRT then can transit to yellow line in just next few stop, transit to downtown line at bugis, transit to NS line at City Hall or even transit another time to get to NE line at dhoby ghaut. Then... Certain places like those along NE line, since need to transit twice, taking bus may be even faster. Just have to look for the right bus. From my area, I have access to most places through bus except those places towards the north so I find it quite convenient.

Just check with gothere.sg or google map, both provide almost 100% accurate transit info *save for the bus arrival time in google map, never accurate biggrin.gif *

Basically, if you stayed before in Klang Valley area without driving a car, just getting around on public transit, it will be an easy task, probably easier task. Just get a data plan asap so you can use google maps/gothere and other SBSTransit/SMRT apps on the go.

THanks for replying, appreciate it alot wink.gif

Yah, I didn't know where to stay. Currently, I am still waiting for my work permit to be approve. So I am surveying now.

May I know which part is more convenient and less expenses? Also, I would like to spend less than 20min for the transport (Yio chu kang MRT to my work place by bus is around 5 to 10 min) if possible, to reach my work place.

Oh... Work permit haven't approve? Which pass? EP? You can get advice from your HR also or even just ask them help you to look for room. Depends on how nice your HR is, possibly he/she will help biggrin.gif

Know when is your commencement date yet? Plan earlier, otherwise last minute sure panic and worry this worry that tongue.gif

biggrin.gif I'm travelling 40mins each way to work and back. Including the time I walk from home to MRT, wait for MRT, transit to NS line, walk to office.

20mins... Not so easy. Unless the bus stop is right in front of the place you stay and you stay just maybe 4 stops away. Bus waiting time + stops along the way only can make it in 20mins.

My main office actually quite near to the place I stay but now working at site office. Even going to main office, walk to bus station already 5 mins. Wait for bus, if lucky straight board if unlucky max 5mins (got 5 different bus to reach the same bus stop biggrin.gif ). Travel time, around 12~15 mins for 5 or 6 stops (cn't rmb) Walk from bus stop to office also around 7 mins. Total up also more than 20 mins d. My main office is just like 3km away.

You'll get used to it. Sleep earlier, wake up at 7~7.15. More than enough time for you to reach office without being late.

Stop playing Dota, everything will be fine unsure.gif unsure.gif unsure.gif
