QUOTE(studyboy @ Dec 21 2014, 02:17 AM) I'd personally recommend Singtel but M1 and Starhub are fine too. I believe all telcos offer a 2 year contract with 2GB of data if memory serves. As for accommodation, how much are you prepared to dish out for rent? I would imagine the rentals for accommodation in the vicinity of Tanjong Pagar to be quite expensive! Thanks for your recommendation studyboy. I will take a look at Singtel and Starhub packages to see which one more suitable. I am actually hoping for about $700-800 for the rental in a good area. Does not have to be too close to Tanjong Pagar, as long it is close to the east west MRT should be alright. Do you have any recommendations? I checked my EP status online still no record too although I gave all information to HR last week already.

QUOTE(babykon101 @ Dec 22 2014, 02:24 PM) Hey all. I am thinking on an offer to work in SG from Feb next year onward. Company is MNC and I think career progression should be good, will never know for real until I start there. For those working in SG, do you think 4 - 4.5k enough for a 24 yrs old, single and not the type to really splurge, as I want to save some money to bring back Malaysia. Plus, will be working in Shenton Way, where to stay ya? Thank you! 4-4.5k is good enough already. If you dun splurge I think U will definitely save more than 1k. Which company in Shenton Way? I will be working around there too. Still finding place to stay while waiting for EP to be approved.

Guys, I would like to go for gym in Singapore. Currently I have a celebrity fitness membership and I am wondering whether it's worth changing to to international membership at RM199, or is there better and cheaper gym in singapore ? Is the Delta Clubfitt in Tiong Bahru good ? Per entry is like $2.50 that's pretty cheap ..

Bro, in my opinion, try nego with them to get 2.5k .. With your degree, you should be getting 2.5-2.8k .. They low balling your pay .. Just nego with them and see what they respond ..

QUOTE(tomaserif @ Feb 26 2015, 11:14 AM) I have to ask this since it has become a huge bother to me. I normally eat at hawker center to safe money. I notice rice here taste different, like old rice or something. Its the same taste be it at different hawker centers. Am I hallucinating or you guys feel the same too? Regardless, at restaurants(e.g. KFC), the rice taste OK. Bro, I eat zap fan everyday. It taste the same LOL! If it bothers u, buy a small rice cooker and cook ur own rice lo .. But overall cost might be more expensive, as long it does not give u tummy ache, I suggest u to just accept the taste. Haha.
