QUOTE(kevin613 @ Sep 22 2016, 10:02 AM) one quick question, direct employment or outsourced company? i agree that best to avoid being outsourcedi'll avoid outsource if i could, and go for direct employment. a lot of software testing is outsourced, and those are like what you described, no travel opportunity. direct employment would usually have better pay and benefits, while outsource company usually just comply with the minimum stipulated in MOM's labour law. however, to say that no travel opportunity because being outsourced is wrong. all my biz trips was during the employment when I was outsourced. |

QUOTE(k town shit @ Sep 22 2016, 01:28 PM) Outsourced permanent job. Hopefully to gain more experience in banking, of course direct employment is far better in term of benefits and job security. Under no choice, this is the best option I presumed. that is still an outsourced contract job.if the client company terminates the contract, it is very highly likely you will lose your "perm" job also. there may be sweet talk such as when such a scenario happens, they will find a new placement for u and things I would advise u to ignore them and treat them as empty promises. when shit happens, almost all just cover themselves and leave u alone. |

Pretty expensive. nanny ranges from 800-1k for working hours mon-friWhat about passing your kid to a next door baby sitter? got such thing? In Singapore need to be registered baby sitter? I doubt most offices allow you to keep your baby in the office. I been to two Singaporean offices, they don't allow these facilities. additional charges may apply if baby stays overnight childcare center have diff pricing based on age and status of the child and also branding basically, 2-18months is infant care and will cost 1.4k at least 18months onwards, the pricing is 800-1k. this is based on normal 1...if you wan high class child care, the pricing does not apply. |

QUOTE(knwong @ Oct 22 2016, 06:28 PM) A HDB, it's a (SG) government subsidized residential unit. Not ridiculous at all, you (a MY citizen) expect a foreign government (SG) to subsidize your purchase of their public housing when you are deemed to have the capability to own a house in overseas? |

They all say in Singapore land Singaporean house all side them dont even try. You gonna waste time only. There's also cases where tenant paid deposit then the landlord suddenly don't want let the tenant stay. No return the deposit. Even the property agent also can't do anything. Real life story from my previous agent. |

QUOTE(Fiona Chin @ Dec 4 2016, 07:56 PM) Can what. I stayed home to take care my baby for 1 year. Only need bout 1k for food and house expenditures. The other half sure can bring home 1k right. You sure most of 2 working parents family is because need or want? Want better lifestyle, so sacrifice the time with the kids. Hawkers earn alot btw if you think their earning is little. sure after 1 year, you can now go back to workthe kid does not go child care but instead stay at home looking after themself. their childhood only revolves around the first year after they are born. probably these parents, their kids will send them to the old folks home, then predict about 1 year before they pass, move them out and look after them. |

QUOTE(Fiona Chin @ Dec 5 2016, 02:16 PM) Bring to work lo. I grew up spending my childhood at construction sites starting age of 3-4. When young whole family 5 ppl stay in one rented small room. Weekend go coffee shop 3 kids share one plate of chicken rice. Parents not eating because can't afford. Dad primary grad work as bangala on site. Mum uni grad but stay home teach kids. Mum can go to work for better lifestyle, but chose not to as to my parents the bringing up of the children themselves is more important. if so, then why are u on sabbatical for only 1 year?The same value kids experienced will built into the kids. If brought up in the nursery where parents busy working to sustain the family, then the same will mostly be repeated for their kids. Not saying they not good not taking care the kids or parents themselves. This is life right, you want something you need to sacrifice another thing. u should just resign and stay at home looking after your kid or your husband should since bringing up the kid is that important, there should be only 1 breadwinner and from what i read, your husband and you each easily earn more than a lot of couples combined. like u said, your mum did not work because she valued bringing up the kids as more important or did the value your mum planted into you got skewed off somewhere that it only applies to others but not u? parents do a lot of things...some maybe too much but most of the time, in their own way, they do it because they think this is the best for their kids. sending kids to child care because it makes economical sense does not equate to not spending time with the kids when they are growing up. you might influence as much as you can on how you want the kid tp grow up to become by instilling those good values however, what they grow up to become does not solely depend on how you raise them. being there every single moment does not mean the kid will become a replica of you. |

Even though it's already expensive, it will increase higher later, or worse, no more ticket. some do not buy early because of leave approval alsou need to consider the risks yourself |

QUOTE(darrenboy @ Dec 12 2016, 10:36 AM) I have already checked. There is NO direct train. From Woodlands, have to take 3 different trains and total traveling time to Prai station is 13 hrs, assuming no delays. Meaning I wud need to apply extra day leave for just traveling! Early morning travel and night time 9.30pm only arrive in Bworth, not even home yet. :-( i thought there is 1 train from JB to PG.Just it takes 1 whole day like what you mentioned. have not been updated on this but u can try searching for this there is a night train from SG / JB to KL whereby you will reach early morning you can then transfer to the train from KL to PG and reach around probably noon. a few years ago, when i was looking for alternatives, that was what i found out. it may or may not be outdated by now. |
