Before u start work. U already condemn singapore. So u better stay back where u r now. It is not a good idea to stuck in traffic jam, work with kiasu people, pay expensive rental, high work load n performance, hot weather too. U still can bring your partner to holiday even if u r not working in singapore.

If u want to bow to the 2.5, then u got to start working n not complaining as it ll makes u miss the daedline in your work.

U dont have to force yourself. U must know how to adapt to a new environment n learn how to like your new job new place. Or else, u only making trouble for yourself n your work performance ll be affected.

Dont label singapore people as kiasu as if u r not being one.

traffic jam - work graveyard shift, stay next to office (if tanjong pagar how lor, got apartment nearby?) this is assume u work at tanjong pagar....if not, then???


kiasu - if u can't beat them, join them (ok I become Mr Kiasu) even u join as a kiasu, that doesnt entitle to label others as kiasu

expensive rental - buy a roof then But if i buy roof they may fine me for no permit u can buy a roof in singapore if u got the money. do u?

walk walk now here to sit - ??? Bus stop no place to sit mah then dont take bus, take taxi, lots of people taking taxi too.

high work performance - self improvement is bad? If kena high blood pressure? I seen singaporean relative get stroke/high blood pressurehot in malaysia no high blood pressure? if worries too much, can always opt for a low pay job.

weather - back in m'sia it is not hot?! because malaysia can drive car got air cond. But also good la, because walk to mrt station, can exercise and stay slim. By the way, all singaporeans don't have obesity problem, so far not seen one, maybe because they walk a lot? Got good health advantages, some more got many parks to exercise in singapore, u also can drive a car, why not buy a car and it also can brings u from point A to point B n same comfort as in malaysia.

To you in malaysia can surf lowyat mean poor or low performance? Anyway, am not in Singapore now. Surfing lowyat in a hotel room actually.

Buy car in singapore needs COE. My arrival into singapore many years ago, the first 2 weeks, i drove my malaysia car into Singapore and the 3rd weeks onwards, i got a S plate car as i driving back into Malaysia everyweek. Yes, it is not cheap for driving in Singapore but if you want the comfort of getting from door to door, you got to pay some premiums for it.

Taxi is expensive. But if you are earning S$10k, taxi fees should be an affordable expenses for you. You dont have to be everyday take taxi as you can occassionally slot in some time for taking the mrt or bus if you wake up early or not in a rush. Even go cars, when we go out drinking, we ll still park the car at home and take taxi instead.

peak hour as u said. tolerate lor as everybody also wants to get home mah. If u can, u can stay back at office like some of my colleagues. Our company also provide shuttle bus to the nearest mrt station too n it only takes about 5-10 minutes bus ride only. but u got to Q up for the shuttle bus. Many companies do provide this shuttle service.

parking is expensive but is part and parcel of driving a car in singapore. Remember that u r earning the S$ and you dont calculate in RM when u spending it. When u get use to singapore life n earning 10k, i bet u ll be driving a car.

i also got once nearly hit a cyclist....out of no where, suddenly at the corner, a cyclist shot out and i got to jam brake and he looked at me and pretend like nothing and cycled away.......at jalan buroh.

U sure those at golden miles are vietnamese? Looks like u r not a chinese, u either malay or Indian. Correct?

If cant get into keppel, can try nam cheong......

A simple google ll lead u to the true picture.

U did not bother google n find out....expect people to feed u only....

Nam cheong also involved in off shore ship building n we have asked them to convert a FSO too....it is the best way to gain experience n way into Keppel later if what u interested is in FPSO.....unless u want to go into biscuits making line....enough feed for u.

You one able body took away 3 jobs....no wonder the locals crying no more jobs left for them....

If u want to apply work directly in singapore, it is not hard. U just need to write in or fill in the application form n attached your resume. Simple as that.

Ya ya....singapore govt ll roll out red carpet to welcome u at the airport if u r elite...unless u just competing for those low level executive job, then u got to worry the rejection of pass or work permit.

Then u should goreng your boss sotong n find another job which can let u suka suka leave after lunch hour.

Yup. Me too. Same scenario as yours. Only the the salary cant get the ratio u have.

So far my returns on all the hong bao draws is 0% n capital also lost liao.....

I done my tt with rafles money changer @ 2.578 only...sigh...
