It depends la... if u are staying near 1U or sunway... then u can take aroeline but i am staying in cheras so i take normal bus express... it is so much nearer to my house. Take midnight taxi oso pay about RM12 only.
Furthermore, it is farking expensive to take areoline... from SG to KL (one way)...they oledi charge $47 compare to normal bus express of only $27.. u pay $20 more for that lousy dinner meal box on the bus which i think is not worthwhile at all... I think it is more worthwhile to save that $20 to have a delicious japanese eat all u can sashimi buffet at orchard..
The 3rd point is... aroeline take about 5 hrs to reach KL whereas normal bus express takes only 4 hrs...

ya...too bad i have to take aeroline back to KL this weekend SGD40 2nd time since start working here back in May), on saturday morning somemore due to all full booked bus tickets. Cant even secure a cheap bus ticket week before and left only with aeroline. Guess next time should act month before.

Btw, 4 hours is damn fast. I thought normally will take 5 hours or more. Which bus express is that?

I take it you don't have a master's degree?

Ya, the aeroline sucks lah... It is more for those foreigners travelling from SG to KL who wanted to enjoy the journey along the stupid highway at night..

So now, I take only those normal express buses at beach road and its around SGD20++ only which is much much better... and sometimes you can reach Puduraya about 4 hrs depends on the queue at 2nd Link...

I got 2 instances whereby i reach KL in only bout 3.5 hrs bcos tis company did not even stop for a break in either Yong Peng or the rest room and it is travelling at high speed oso... but i cant remember wat company is tat for now... but for me it's ok as long as it can reach KL in the shortest possible time instead of the aroeline which takes me 5 hrs...lol

Better avoid this, last year, SGTel and Pacific net were forced by court order to reveal who downloadeed it because the company who owns the right to it claim loosing royalty and not fair to those who pay for it, lodge a complain follow up with court order. That's why, those who downloaded got fine for it.

unless no one claims anything to it, then you are safe. Just like YouTube, unless owner of video clip complain, even then, its Youtube to face the MUSIC.. even though your video clip at YouTube may be illegal because It allowed you to load onto their website. This happened to China few years ago when US site complained about it....

Added on August 7, 2008, 12:27 am There are other coach companies in SG, why Aeroline? much cheaper thought. Of course, Aeroline will come with entertainment system.. I usually take 1st coach, At novena Sq and alight at Bangsar LRT for my trip to KL But at that hour, good luck to you with Taxi.... I met several KL people who shared with me their experience... one was even charged RM50 for some RM10 ride (no midnight charges), but she has no choice as it was way past 1am in the morning.. not wanting to antangonise the driver after asking, and for fear as she doesn't feel safe. by the way, she was a dental surgent who often travel to meet up with her SG classmate for gathering.

1. Does the next higher job require a degree to do? If it does, then wouldn't the company want to hire someone who can progress to that higher job, from your job?

2. A degree's main purpose is not to give you the operational 'knowledge' or the 'skills' to do a job. It's there to set a standard, a criteria, a ticket to play. A degree is like being 7 feet tall in a community where basketball is the primary job. Being 7 feet tall isn't going to guarantee that you'll be good at basketball, nor does it mean that someone who's less than 7 feet tall can never be good at basketball... but it does mean that on average, with all other things being equal and as a rule of thumb - people who are 7 feet tall are generally going to be more successful at basketball than those who are not.

Wouldn't the company want to hire someone who's 7 feet or more, as they stand the best chance of being successful at basketball?

Going To Open A Bank Account.

Which Bank Recommend?

Got DBS, POS, UOB, OCBC, MBB etc

UOB , OCBC and MBB for me.

rich man...

one people maintain 3 account

CITI

ya wor

miss out another famous bank - CITI

Can anybody recommend me a good sushi bar? How is sakae sushi anyway?

MBB's iSavvy and Std Chartered eSaver accounts give the highest interest rates without having to commit the funds to a fixed deposit (> 1%. Many S$ FDs give less than that).

But both are primarily internet and/or phone accounts ie. you pay fees if you use the counter at a branch and no ATM card. So, you use the ibanking to transfer money to your daily account.

MBB however gave me a free debit card linked to the account later on and it's also a convenient way to send money back to Malaysia if you have a Malaysian MBB account.

I use POSB/DBS as my daily account as it's got the most ATMs and branches.
