QUOTE(weirdguy @ Aug 24 2008, 02:09 PM) Guys & Gals, should be very cheap leh...Can recommend me some worthy IDD cards to call back to Malaysia? If cheap, i would be calling home for around 1 hour on alternative day. Currently, i using Singtel Hi!Card and the Free 019 IDD Call but the thing is I don't really get what it means. It stated that 8cents/min (wk rate) but it seems like it is deducting my global-call/SMS. Shouldn't it be deducting my local-call/sms which is accumulating to a very a lot. Note that I purchase $128 top-up cards. 1 dollar can masak bubur bout 1 hr u know... |

QUOTE(crapp0 @ Sep 10 2008, 11:32 AM) Oh ok. My younger bro just went back to mlk using melaka-singapore express for only SGD 16. Those coach buses quite ex. Unless they have power outlet for laptop then i would consider it. plz try to google 707Unfortunately i staying at yishun so if want 2 take bus at kallang, gotta travel and switch mrt. But then again woodlands have bus from singapore to melaka or do i have to goto JB from woodlands since i dont really want to goto No.1 crimeland JB to get a bus.

QUOTE(crapp0 @ Sep 20 2008, 09:42 AM) Whats MDR? I have a fren who just got work in the admin department for one company, she starting out 1650 but it maybe just probation, the funny thing is that her employer give her work permit only. I thought she would get at least an S Pass or EP since she has a degree in mass com from the UK. mdr actually a company nameJust 2 ask, getting a work permit, s pass or ep is it dependent solely on your qualifications or whether or not your employer preference to apply for you either one? for the work permit they have certain criteria but it depends on ur boss wanna give which permit also http://sg.news.yahoo.com/ap/20080919/tap-a...gs-832f4ab.html |
