Hello deodo uncle, I normally take MRT to kranji and 170 from there. Hard to run a family leh, please appreciate your wife more OK!

I cook home dishes and mainly vege. Lunch would be 2 dishes rice, meat and vege. Dinner then 3 dishes rice, meat, vege, tofu or egg and simple soup. I get my stuff from wet markets, fresher and a lot cheaper. I go there weekly last time, 70 to 100 SGD can cook for one full week.

I cook mainly for health purposes, and the mums force us to. You don't save much cooking yourself in SG because of the cheap labour here compared to OZ or UK.

For single person meal recommend you get a personal rice cooker and do steam dishes. Very convenient. Google it for recipe.

I just got back from market, bringing back next week vege stuff 80 RM, 30 SGD only, can stuff full one whole hand carry already. If you buy premium beef then 30 SGD one meal also not enough.

Bye bye LKY.

Let's do it at the Parliament queue. Hidup Bapa Singapura!

Sigh you two good la, can find job, got counter offer for several jobs. I cannot even go and find job, bonded for 4 more years, 6 months NCC some more. My boss say I next in line for his place but don't look like he going to die anytime soon.

No agents call me now. When I apply jobs they thought I am joking after running background check. Not my fault born rich... I want to feed myself with my own effort too.

If you family and friends, VIP treatment, see face, shake hand talk talk in Istana.
If you study good did good gain some fame, express lane in Parliament house now.
If you are average person, 10 hours queue for you. Ask you don't come some more.

Deodorant, JohnJon82 Your TTSS one big family brother. Majulah Malaysia.

You don't think its possible?

1) If you are good enough, your life will be good. Stay condo, keep ang moh dog as pet, drive big car, sleep peacefully at night.

2) SPM? Anything as long as you work hard and contribute, sg will reward you, an ah gong once said.

Wah 5k I can pay for my condo installment, cook 3 meals, car installment, fly home, pay pub and misc, eat out and drink sometime, still got money left leh. How gooder you want?

That's my life on weekdays .

Roughly la, I don't remember the exact figures.

1) 5k, then 1k go to CPF + your boss part, you get 1+ k to pay your house installment, if you get a 3 bed room, rent out the 2 rooms you earn some more. If like me husband and wife combine, just make it for the installment. We save for 6-7 years for those downpayment misc fees working in SG. If you work in MY you also need years to save your downpayment, unless your father mother pay for you. So, 0 here.

2. Get a job where you are required to drive, then COE, installment subsidised. Petrol toll parking maintenance all ah gong's. Installment around 1k for a BM for your good life example.

3. Get a job that pay you to fly home, or don't rip your frequent flyer points for business trips. Done. I pay 1 or 2 tickets to go home only per month. Roughly 600 sgd if Airasia?

3. PUB means tenaga national and jabatan air, and gas. Not beer. Roughly 900 full air con including cable, fiber board band and 4g cell, this I share, so divide by 2 = 500.

4. Cooking decent good meals roughly 500 top, per person.

5. Give you go out eat drink play, 1k. 250 per weekend, this is very good budget for my good life already.

4k - 1k - 500 - 500 - 1k = Savings 1k per month. Wah lao, work 1 year I got 12k sgd for my annual trip and stuff lo.

Of coz those above is low quality for atas people staying big mansion, drive lambo, fly first class, eat michelin, drink moet like water, year year go Swiss skiing trip those.

MOM should give me advertisement fee for promoting good work life in SG.

Elder sister is like the 2nd mum la. Only younger sister can understand one .

You said she SPM? Come here for poly? Don't think uni here accept SPM even if full As.

Seems like most of the people here don't support the idea of babysitting your sister through degree. Most of them came here alone to start from scratch, so they are more independent type. Nothing wrong for them to think those who can't stand on their own are less capable. Someday you just have to let her walk alone though, you can watch beside but can't help her in every other thing. I am the youngest, so I am the most spoil, and the one that achieve the least, both academically and professionally. I blame it partially on my brother and sister .

SG is quite safe for a student to do her study, I done mine here. You can hardly have a chance to get mug, access to drug, and stick with wrong group of friends if you are in the public uni. Those who got in are not those rich and useless kids. She would have close friends in school that would help each other in daily life. You should go enjoy your life too. Anyway, anything urgent happen 999 and 994 would reach her faster than you would even you are in SG, they are very efficient. You can just fly here in few hours if something happen, plenty of flights from KL to SG every hour.

Good luck to your job application and hers too .

How much is it worth for being able to drive without worrying about carjacking, window smashing, and theft?

Engineer how much earn? Share share leh.

You still got 18 years to reach the sky. After you reach, I book your son for my daughter wedding ok. Marry gold turtle!

Nobody can be sure of the answer.

Good point of married couple: You are perceived to be more mature, more responsibility and less prone to create trouble.

Bad point of married couple for your case: Your wife is a WP. She has restriction by MOM. She may have negative impact and drag you down in your application.

A double edge sword.

If you got PR, your wife still on WP, she would have married a PR, not allowed for WP!

Can marry, but cannot get pregnant for WP I think.

All these can write in and seek waiver one la.

Never come across situation similar to your case. Good luck.
