thanks for the info!

Will you be going to SG before you start work and hunt for rooms? one source you can try,m bus stop outside Bedok interchange.... but it will be crowded... at most time. On the post and sign board, you may find informatrion pertaining to rental ...etc... this is very common practice by agent, including those who doesn't want to go through agent..

Bedok is well developmented town, not lacking of anything. so Is your company located in Bedok industry area?

actually my workplace will be Jurong East, but my girlfriend will be working at Bedok. I decided to stay in Bedok as I don't want my girlfriend to waste time on MRTs and buses. As for me, I don't mind the journey though.

We'll be going to Singapore next week and we'll start working next month. I guess we still have ample time to search for a good place to stay.

you can try: http://sg.easyroommate.com/

it's pretty good.. i found my place there

try www.sg-house.com
i got mine from there as well, was so blessed i didn't have to go thorugh those evil agent ever again. it's a nice spot i recommend because i got few calls/sms after i posted my requirement up there. better than you go hunt (unless you too urgently need a room).

good luck

how was the job market in s'pore..

i have sent about 20 applications so far but no reply.. sien...zzz

how bout u guys? can share ur experiences?

I applied for one and got it immediately

something must be wrong with your CV....

Bedok to Jurong is quite a distance to cover.

I know, but it is still within the same green-line MRT and I just don't wish her to take all the troubles of taking MRTs.

yrh0413: Bedok to Jurong around 1 hour. anyway, can do small gathering here when you are here. i'm staying in Bedok. we can try out different audio setup.

by the way, how much does the MRT fare cost from Bedok to Jurong?

audiophile gathering? lolz most probably I won't be bringing my headphone setup to Singapore

if i'm not mistaken it's around $2-$3 per trip. aiya... nvm, then come to test my setup, see see give advice. haha..

what?? $2 per trip? I thought MRT max at $1.70 per trip?

hmm i applied about 50 positions , and got about 3 calls..
sounds like a good "hit" to me

oh , was the offer good ? or are they taking you as cheap labour ?

the offer was not really good as I could get the same pay at Malaysia (after convert to RM that is).

Well, I have my own reasons My girlfriend is there... so...

well , hope you enjoy it there and all the best to a "new working" life there..

still waiting for the "right" offer to come along..
or maybe just get any job , work 1 year.. apply PR and apply new job ahahhah

Sounds like a plan

So now r u employed? What job u applied? Which company u work for?

AFAIK, it is very difficult to get into a MNC or big corporations in S'pore unless u applied for those small medium Chinaman companies.

get an ok-ok job first... until you get a PR. then only start to apply for those MNCs that you're dying for
