Hey guys. I need some guidance/suggestion/advice here.

I just got an offer from Sg company and they offer me sgd2k for IT Support with 1year contract. Standard working hours, 830am-6pm.

Btw, I got my parents' house in JB, and I guess I'm willing to travel everyday to Spore by bus/bike.

So here's my questions:
1) Is it really worth the troublesome ( wake early morning *4-5am* everyday / facing traffic jams / long queue if using public bus ) ?
2) What is the best telco to use in Spore?

Kindly enlighten me. Thanks in advance.

How's the race pack this year?
I was at the army marathon both some time ago. Though of signing up initially but changed my mind when i look at their race pack. Some discount coupons, candies and a measly singlet to run in

1. N0
2. Singtel

By bike probably OK. hundreds of thousands of people do that daily already anyways. By bus probably too much of a hassle / time waster.

Isn't this standard for practically all marathons?

Renting room, flat or house to foreigner

anyone here ever bought a bike in malaysia to use in singapore?
feel like getting one to vroom vroom on weekends

why only weekends ?

1)not worth it, even u ride motor, u still need to stuck at custom for almost an hour, just imagine those exhaust smoke done to ur health.

2)depends to area u staying. Different telcom will have better service at different area.

1) If your parents stay the same house in JB I think worth the effort. Else, rent a room in Singapore, 300 share room still available maybe.

2) All 3 are OK for my area now.

1) Cuz I'm thinking I do the same shit everyday also can only get max to rm3k in KL/JB.
2) So, Singtel is the best one ?

So u already experience it ? Heard need to buy the so-called-smart tag first right?


Yes, I'm living with the same house with them. Just did some homework, the range for the rent like sgd300-600. If that is the price for the rent, I guess I'm willing to trouble myself going back to JB everyday. LOL.

U mean Singtel, M1 and Starhub right ?

1.No.U probably have the same amount of money (as if u were still working in mys) at the end of the month when u pay off those bills.U will b very lonely for sure (which is a killer)

2.singtel m1 starhub all good

Recently, PR also being rejected easily.
I guess they are trying to limit the quota of foreigners obtaining PR...hmm

A couple of years later he got his PR, jumped ship recently and earning s$3500/month, staying in jb, got house got a new imported car and living like a 👑 King.

Wow. Great to hear that. I'm looking for a house in JB as well but the prices hikes like no bodies business.
Cheapest I can find is RM630k....@@

I just want to say this

1) Bakerzin mocha is amazing
2) Singapore KFC sucks
3) Singapore pizza hut spaghetti is awesome
4) Singapore Wan Tan Mee is too sweet
5) Must try Chwee Kway from Bedok food court or tiong bahru market
6) The only bak kut teh worth eating is song fa bak kut teh near clark quey mrt
7) Tim Ho Wan tim sum that char siu pao is nice
8) MBS casino weekday minimum bet is sgd2.50 per table and double up on weekend
9) Thai club in Singapore is korean club
10) Pumproom at clark quey is horny nest
11) Shanghai dolly is overhyped but VIP lounge above has cool jazz band
12) Geylang food is horrible
13) Don't order crabs in restaurant with shiny menu
14) Herbal duck from Ding Xiao Er is also nice
15) Singtel > Starhub

my 2 cents

Welcome to Sin Jia Por

S$3500 can live like a king? That is amazing!

that is > RM9k/month. Living in JB, that pay is higher than a lot of local bank manager.
