how can u guys take it renting in a room and living with the owner? no car to drive, no good 'street' foods to taste, lost all your msian friends and spontaneous trips, holding back spending? /heh

i was being partially sarcastic, but nonetheless pointing out the truth?

Think i spent few years to experience things here. Being fairly managable on my income as a single young man. I dont holdback on foods, ciggy 1 pack 2days, maybe party once twice a month, go back kl enjoy the weekends sometimes. But grew older now lol. Truth is, it feels EMPTY and boring after a while. Stuck in shoebox rooms that doesnt even belong to me from different owners, lack of freedom driving my beloved car around.. taking the bus to work (at least this is the best point that i dont spend 2 hours of traffic a day). and worse lining up on edible foods (dont expect me to fine dine all the time. The usual mode of lunch and dinner are still hdb foods lol). and... i guess the composition? In my line of work itself only 25% sgpreans? the rest are typical whites, usa brits french indias prc pinoy myamar all sorts of rojak. The longer it is, instinctively i dont feel 'homely'. People i know come and go. All for money and fly by. Locals SG half of them sour grapes of some msian chinese who takes better position, stuffs like that of course they wouldnt tell that to your face. And there you have all these bright 3rd world mens who fights so hard to start life in SG.

Tbh, i dont really care apart from the $ thats it. But i feel bad for the locals.. as well as our countrymen who crosses the border daily.


-disclaimer: just my personal 2cents that is based on my lowly <10k income life and not reflecting any others who may find otherwise -

Forget toto lah. my fren sapu what system 7 system what shit almost 1/10 of his lowly pay also nothing. anyway, does EP holder entitle for the win lets say jackpot those kind

i wonder what kind of difference? sg meleis are more matured is it? hahaha. or they are way too westernized till cant speak a single word of melei

personally i think friends are not everything. my best buddies here are french since i face them everyday, badminton / drinking / party buddies are locals, talk cock whining buddies are msians and prcs, ocassional drinking with aussies and brits. heck got even so tired walking around till bored of it. i think the value of childhood friendship means more to me. thats why i cant figure out how some who emigrate to places like aus & uk, will 360deg adapt to the social circle there?. Long run, end up chinese mix chinese also. Some will be dog tail wagging wannabe whites, but I have and know my roots and tend to enjoy the malaysian life despite how fuked our country is to an extent. Justifiable from a perspective of better living? Well just a matter of time before you miss the roadside nasi kukus nasi lemak, goreng pisang, 'challenging' environment, variety of sights, stuffs like that. well at least to me SG is culturally diverse from the outside, but no depth at all. just walk around and see how superficial everyone is. chasing time, chasing money, chasing careers, double faces in work, ultimately you feel the sense of emptiness. the infrastructure, development yes are 5stars but its more like catered from the foreigners success. like what locals telling me it feels like being caged, espcially when expats (bunch of them!) easily making >15k + condo allowances + good car vs them confined in small rooms and smelling mrt armpits everyday. opps, a little off topic

Lol, such service is also run by Qistna express also for ur good info. cheapskette will see so cheap so buy it at first

They will use starmart express bus, then drop off some bitches at larkin, then exchange to a LOCAL express bus (can be 2+1 or 2+2 if unlucky) before continuing journey. sometimes got dropoff at seremban city area which wastes more time.

so far the best combination is first coach (star vista direct to subang parade for my case la nearest to home). causewaylink express also not bad. Aeroline out of budget

Nah, he's right. I got called few times by HR where I applied to. Every single opening question was asking what's my residential status. The moment they ask this I know my EP won't stand a chance against a PR. Come on la isn't it obvious the job market in sg. Locals are bitching too much bout foreigners already. In my comp most professionals are expats and I felt awkward for locals to take up lowly positions. It's time for them to set out prioritization in hiring, probably instructions from Mom. No matter how nice resume also useless. Nowadays need cable to jump easier

that's why locals are bitching about 2 kind of PRs holder.

One is those who want to take advantage of the job security / hopping + sgd and gtfo after years and live like king back in msia. Dont be surprised quite a number of cant-make-it sinkie puts msian as one of the top dislike list, just of course they wont say in front of ur face. Cuz our chinese are as smart as them and easy assimilation thus tough competition.

Another one is the genuine ones who takes up PR in hopes to settle down and prolly convert one day. This bunch aims to contribute to society genuinely.

put urself in their shoes. maybe imagine we chinese are dominating msia economy alone, thats the reason UMNO exists till now and will never change

does the bonus takes into account the monies we have in their time deposit?

so... interest calc is based on first 60k. Does the time deposit make up part of the 60k? I cant find in the faq maybe I'm blind
