1. In Singapore, got two-room flat or not, just like those low-cost flats in Malaysia? And how much would be the rental? I understd that HDB is 3-room flat, right?

2. If we work in Sgp, does it make sense to still use Maxis phone line? How much is the phone rate for Sgp phone operators such as Singtel or M1 (what's the other one called?) especially international phone roaming. Would using Skype-enabled phone be cheaper for calling Msia and Sgp?

i doubt you will get 2k with technician position here.
even singaporean diploma holder also cannot get 2k with 1~2 year experience.
but that's just for basic, you can get more if you are running day and night shifts.

most of the companies here don't recognize msia private college certificates.
even those big names like MMU, Sunway...etc
i got many friends just started working in SG.

USM Engineer degree holder, Process Engineer, has been working for 6 months.
Current salary is SGD2.7k

NTU Engineer degree holder, Structural Engineer, has been working for 1 year.
Salary starting at SGD2.4k

Unless you are singaporean, otherwise your salary most likely won't pass 2.8k.
It depends.
I'm enjoying my free time life here with surfing net, online gaming and sometimes hang out at shopping complex during weekends.

Anybody tried asking the company for a salary advance to help you settle in? For eg. 1/4 salary advance after you've worked 7 days and so on.

Some big 4 accounting firms give hiring allowances eg. dress allowance etc. Others might give relocation allowances to outstation hires.

Sure got, but then again, it depends on how much they want you lah. But doesn't hurt to ask your new boss.

I think all buses stop at least once for toilet break.

No lah, I don't think it's embarassing. It's just negotiation.

You don't tell them you're broke and you've got no money to buy food and toilet paper lah. You just say that you are newly relocating to the country and you want to know if the company is willing to help you with relocation costs and initial setup expenses.

This is actually a common thing that workers in Australia, EU and US negotiate for when they move from one job to another job.

When I moved to Singapore, I negotiated for 2 months serviced apartment stay instead of the 1 month initially offered, an appliances allowance (to buy fridge, washing machine etc) and also transport expenses during that period, which helped a lot as I could then afford to take taxis everywhere to do my immigration paperwork, viewing apartments for rent and to do all the shopping required to set myself up in a new country. The new company also paid for the KL-Sg air ticket and excess baggage charges.
