thanks for the advise,
looks like the decision is still up to me..
what makes me think of moving there straight is because if there's interviews, then its more convenient if i'm there..
n one more thing, i believe that hiring companies will select to call candidates who's got sg address/contact..

May i know the kind of transportation from Singapore to KL besides plane? How bout bus? Do u think it will be available if i buy ticket on the spot? Any company to recommend and the fare cost??

i heard train also possible.. i dont have details on that..
i usally take bus, n the fare varies.. availability depends on seasons as well, off peak then u might get on da spot, but if peak then i don't think so..

i need some advise from experience ppl.. this is my scenario:

i've already been in Singapore for 1 month +.. as my visa expired for the first month, i went out to Johor n came back to renew my visa and prolong the staying period..
then i got an extension of another 1 month..

so question is, are there such rules or regulation stating that i cannot be in Singapore for 2 months, n that i have to go back for 1 month before coming back to sg again??

experience ppl pls advise, its kinda urgent..
btw, my purpose here is to job hunt n it has been 1 month+ since i came here..

thanks in advance..

has anyone tried applying for e-xtend?

i'm really confused, i've heard ppl saying that i cannot stay more than 60 days within a 90 days period in sg.. if so, i would have to go back for 1 month before returning..

some say theres no such thing, some say it only depends on your current embarkation card (30 Days), some say this some say that.. rclxub.gif
n i've been to ICA website, called the hotline several times, been to ICA building to inquire but no exact answers and only different answers.. headache sweat.gif

So, without taking any chance, i'm going to try for e-xtend to get another 1 month of stay here in sg.. any advise to how this system works?

u might wanna consider getting a rapidshare or megaupload account, its waaaaaaaaaay faster than torrents here (at least for me).  biggrin.gif

yea, i know rapidshare or megaupload will be way faster.. but where can we find TV series with those download links?
n btw, i was asking about the legal issue.. is it okay to torrent in this strict country?

well... there's plenty of those websites out there. u'll know what to do if u interest to know abt it.  tongue.gif

as for the torrents, i believe its like many other places : bt itself is not illegal, its the things that u download that matters. according to my friends, casual BT is ok (not like 24-7 of coz), juz dont go n distribute it around.  biggrin.gif

thanks for the helpful feedback.. appreciate it very much! thumbup.gif

What say you? Of course no. Download at your own risk laugh.gif
Why not? My current job is actually for Singaporean and SPR. Due to my knowledge and experience, I got the job.
Who cares? wink.gif

Just that out of 100, chances are 1%
50% 50% will get caught.

But if you are on dynamic IP, very hard to get caught.

If you are real unlucky, you will receive a warning letter for the 1st time.

Just becareful for downloading US torrent. Usually the officer are the seeder wink.gif
Starhub Mobile Broadband all the way!

M1? Don't go for it. Many of us quit from M1

by dynamic IP u mean? VPN?
i thought getting a warning letter meant lucky, at least u know u are warned then u can stop..
