singapore say big not too big say small definetely not small...
if lets say really got gathering...
plz drop me a sms earlier...
i try to apply "leave"
will try to make it but no promise...
so when is the next 1?

next week ? we go BBQ at that place again?

it is a service like money changer
instead changing for cash, they will transfer the money straight to your malaysia account.
So far did it few times and hassle free
normally the rate will be slightly higher than changing for cash, but they will charge a flat rate of SGD10
I know one near Tampines MRT always good rate. yesterday was 2.395

U guys prefer to save your money in Ringgit? So far i wouldn't for now since confirm the ringgit is gonna take a severe beating next year, this year oledi bad enough but once the sub prime morgage full effect starts at 2009, plus political uncertainty and a investor unfriendly policy by the current government.

Things will only look rosy at the earliest end of 2009. The only time i will change money to ringgit is when i go back to hometown, other then that i dont want my money to lose its value.

oh...different ppl have diff commitment/usage
maybe some need to transfer money back to give papa mama
some bought a house in malaysia.
so..constantly still need some RM monthly.
but whenever there isn't a need, i still prefer to keep SGD

Well I dun come from big 4 n I do not have ACCA. At the most i can get 9 papers exempted since i possess the degree from UTAR. Ur frens qualification is way above me....

I am from a small firm. So would I still be able to enter big 4 easily? I do have a fren in EY Sg. But the problem is my technical knowledge is not too good. If they bombard me with such questions I mostly will fail it....

So any advice plz? Thanks.

Any of you guys met any terrible landlords in singapore?

Currently now staying with a bachelor fella and his fren in three bed room apartment. The bachelor aint so bad but his fren is the worst fella i've met, usually one guy has one annoying factor which sours a relationship but this from day one his attitude was terrible.

Even though the house belong to the landlord, the landlord tell me i cant sit at the living room coz his fren dont like it, plus his fren has a bad temper which the landlord informed me but i didnt know it bordered on being the biggest ******* i've met. Every little thing like walking to the toilet to often to moving some things in the fridge, this guy will complain to me and worst yet is that he always bangs my door and then tells me off. and this is just only six months into a 1 year contract. Somemore they both smokers and love to fry food at the kitchen/laundry area, so whenever i hang my clothes and they cook, my clothes smell worse then KFC.

I actually had thought of killing the crappy china man coz me always seem to blame me for every little thing and he keeps on saying, "this is not your house so you cant just do anything u like, if you dont like it go find another place". I thought, hey this isnt even your house, and if it was, we had a contract.

Any of u guys encountered someone like this, the fella will complain coz i stay up at 12 or even 1am sometimes and if i goto the toilet during that time, he will say i make alot of noise when going and will start complaining.

That sucks man. But hey, that's life. That's why I don't care how much it costs, and rent a whole flat anyway. I spend probably triple what I should be spending on lodging, but I also never have to deal with stuff like that.

So do you let out the rooms in your flat to other people?

Donno why when i stayed in malaysia, even in KL area, the landlord plus any other fella who staying is ok. But this landlord fren the biggest arse i have ever met. His ego so big can tell me off eventhough he dont own the house but act like its his plus can tell to my face that if i cant follow his rules, i better get out.

Its not that i dont follow, the guy so sensitive to changes like another person living with them that they cant seem to handle it. If they cant handle another person living with them, why bother renting in the first place if they think nothing will change when somebody else will stay?

Previously when i rented with another fella in a house and another guy come, we usually went for a compromise since i know you cant apply every rule to a new person but see what works best for both ppl rather then be an arse and force another fella to submit to his preference.

Any good places to stay near Jurong/NTU area? Can find a place for less than $350 or not? I was hoping since near NTU, more students means the place is less expensive

Nope, I feel it's not worth the hassle. I like my privacy... walking around with no pants, leaving my wallet in the open, picking my nose and farting whenever I like etc etc

Bad sub-let tenants could ruin your life like bad landlords or main tenants.

Added on September 13, 2008, 10:08 amFirstly, are you prepared to fight it out with this chap?

If not, just endure and leave (now or after your contract expires).

If you are prepared to go toe to toe, then just stand your ground and tell him to shut the hell up and get out of your face. Honestly, what can he do to you apart from giving you nasty looks? Ask him the same question... What can he do to you? Is he going to beat you up? If they kick you out, fine. Tell them you will go if they give you back your deposit and advance rental. Win-win solution.

Before I decided a long time ago that I will never share a home with strangers again, I once 'negotiated' with an annoying housemate while holding a baseball bat in my hand.

hey guys, what is the Singapore salary range in AS400 major in Banking with 3yrs experience?

anybody know?

you better get approval letter 1st. LOL. there good ma, can drink and eat all you can. somemore food is nice and affordable. most important got leng lui see. hehe...hope my gf dont see this post sia

Well, the thing is the landlord and his fren are quite close or as i see it, the landlord is the biatch the china fella. Everything the china fella think gets an ok from the landlord, like the landlord got no will of his own.

I oledi plan to move out from i would prefer to honor the contract, eventhought the house owner fren dont like me and influence his fren to try and get rid off me. Plus i dont really like to move out so soon since only half a year plus its very inconvenient for me but i see how it goes.

Usually the landlord fren or sometimes the landlord himself will complain but at least the landlord got valid reason like sometimes i forget to siwtch off the light, but the china fella will complain more often like clockwork and for stupid thing like opening the door of my room to goto the common bath room at late night. Somemore his bad temper always get the better of him, seriously i pity the fella since he seem like got anger management issue plus anti-social since he only hang around the living room smoking non stop.

Anybody know if there are rooms for common room at sing 400 around yishun? Preferably non-smokers and non angry china fellas.

Of all the place to experience bad landlord, gotta be in singapore but its more from the landlord fren. I oledi got bad experience in malaysia with china fella, but this china fella cement the deal that most of them are arse holes but this guy is the biggest one i've met so far.

Is there anyone here currently subscribing for 7.2mb MaxMobile Ultimate (Starhub)?

I would like to know the performance of the mobile broadband. Also, I found out that Starhub Home broadband (the speed) is not that stable. Sometimes, able to reach over 500kb/s, and even 50kb/s.
