Not every landlord allow that. If I'm the landlord, i'll rent out the wifi instead 

Soon will be working at biopolis. Planning to bring wife and 2 kids there. Thinking of staying at Holland village area. Any pros and cons for this area?

Can try Commenwealth area, i'm staying behind Commenwealth MRT (about 10 mins walk) / 2 bus stop away from the MRT.

$2200/month for a fully furnished 2 bedder but without attached toilet.

Thanks for the suggestions. Actually was looking for some place like Setapak in Klang Valley. Is Jurong East ok? Condo like Ivory Height/Westmere is within walking distance to green line MRT.

You must have never stayed in developed countries before. Spending 30% up to 50% of your income for rental is common in cities like Singapore, London, Hong Kong...

Last time as student my scholarship is 550 pound per month, but I have to spend 300 pound per month for my room rental - exclude utilities.

Anything less than 20%, then you really are sacrificing a lot of your comfort. If you have dependents staying with you, you won't care about saving for rental

1 year and 5 months in Singapore. I feel like i so miss Penang but looking at the 3.1 rate I cannot go back also 

I recently got a fren who asked me, did I add any new number into my phone contact after I came here, excluded colleagues. A very good question that stunned me until now, feel so lifeless nia. Like no longer something I hope for, or expected for when I made decision to come down here. 

k... today officially 10 months working in sg, almost 4 years as an m&e engineer. 

however, i feel like i'm at quarter life crisis d.. lol.. no joke, seriously.. 

anyways think i will apply for new job soon.. apply for new job here also kanasai.. MoM will inform current company of my job hopping skills... oh wells, it is what it is.

PS: pls don't pressure ur child to study engineering. poor kid, study and suffer so hard..

At least he now fulfilled his childhood dream of being smart aleck knows everything about skyscrappers, power plants, airports, tunnels, mrts, & offshore drilling rigs.

too bad that's not what feeds a family these days.. need to be corporate lawyer, banker, 4D seller, forex trader and/or MLM penipu scammer..

PPS: brb.. need to inform my gf that I may be unemployed soon and cant afford her tai tai lifestyle.. she sure angry lor.. hope she doesn't leave me.

fml........

haha, same here..joined m&e during intern, now also in the circle
Took me 4 yrs to find that engineering is not my cup of tea..
anyway, good thing about engineering is that you are free to go any fields and still widely accepted, accept some extreme cases such as law or doctor.

since you have fulfilled your dream, then maybe is time to move on.
btw faster get your PR n MOM cannot involve ad lo.

Go INSEAD! Borrow ah long die die also must go there. Money flow in like river after graduation. Nus for poor and noob folks like me only. Engineers good what, open company be boss shake leg. I see my hubby half of the time stay at home one.

convert then don't need to work lo. Or stay Johor bike in everyday spend 5-6 hours queue at custom

2 double bed room = $550 per pax. More reasonable now?
JE is growing as the KL - Singapore rail is suppose to be there. The thing about Singapore is that even if an area is not walking distance from MRT, you have bus to compensate for that. If you die die want beside MRT, look at those rental site lo. They have the function to set how far you want your property to be away from the MRT. I believe there is quite a few for green line towards Jurong in stations like Clementi, Chinese Garden & Lakeside.

Note that JE is the interchange with Red line thus in the morning / after work you are expected to be sardine fish.

I used to stay in Jurong (Corporation Road), takes about 30 mins to get to Commenwealth via bus + MRT. Now i just walk
