Oks na nga yan mas ok kung 3k pataas sana hihi..

ot:
Bro kaka lipat mo lang lilipat ka ulet hehe,,,regards jan...anu rakets natin?

ok na yan bro....pero isipin mo yung bahay mo at utilities ikaw din ang magbabayad dyan...pero ang tax annual yan kaya solo mo ang 2500...pero kung galing ka sa ibang bansa much better kung hingi ka ng 3k!!!!!panalo na yan!!!!!!

Guys about flat and utilities?How much will it cost me if im going for single bedroom flat??Meron bang ganun dyan or i can only get room with flat mates??Is it really expensive? Yan kse ang mahirap sa isang country pag hindi mo alam ang standard of living,mahirap mag ask ng salary.

Lets say sa 3K.Magkano yung sa tingin mo bro magiging malinis mo monthly?Minus the flat,utilities,food,and transpo and some pocket money(average)??

Nope sir boks..Its just that i received offers 2 months ago.Matagal na nila akong inoofferan since last year pero medyo hesitant ako kse una,ala akong kilala sa company,2nd panibagong pakikisama nanaman,3rd nahihiya ako sa boss ko dito,she invested a lot to send me for trainings and some other stuff,4th i heard a lot of rumors na medyo mahal daw yung bahay dyan and wala kang privacy which is very important to me lalo na after office,nakikisama ka na nga sa office pati ba nmn sa bahay ganun pa din..So those are some reasons while i cant just accept offers from SG. On the other hand, the only advantage is malapit ako sa pinas and ala ganong hussle sa pag uwi kse medyo mura lng ang ticket.hehehe..

Kaya nga im askin baka sakaling ma convince ako sa mga reply ng mga taga sg.hehehehe..Kse definitely they know enough more than me..And they can see the bigger picture and im sure hindi nmn sila tatagal dyan kung hindi ok..

If single ka pa sir, ok na to.

Master Jeff, Sgd 2,300 ang rent namin sa whole flat, classmates kami lahat from cebu kaya walang problema in terms of pakikisama, 3 bedrooms na yan, tapus mai malaking sala, dining and kitchen. Isang room ang kinuha ko para mai privacy kami ni misis . Sgd 700 ang rent namin sa room.

una,ala akong kilala sa company,2nd panibagong pakikisama nanaman,3rd nahihiya ako sa boss ko dito,she invested a lot to send me for trainings and some other stuff,4th i heard a lot of rumors na medyo mahal daw yung bahay dyan and wala kang privacy which is very important to me lalo na after office,nakikisama ka na nga sa office pati ba nmn sa bahay ganun pa din..So those are some reasons while i cant just accept offers from SG.

I think mai malaking reason kana ngayun para lumipat, kaya erase mo na yang 4 reasons mo....

if u are looking for a 1+1 = meaning one bedroom flat with one living room and toilet .. it ranges from 800 - 1500sgd.
pero sobrang dalang lang nyan ..

mas ok kung kukuha ka ng 3 bedroom flat with living room.. it ranges from 1,600-2,000
(yun 2,300 na yan.. MAHAL YAN!)

common room ranges from 400 - 600 (solo yan, mas malaki pag sharing)
master bedrrom from 700 - 1000 sgd

swerte na pag inclusive of PUB na mga yan (public utility bills, like koryente, tubig at gas)

2,500 is OK na .. ask mo lang ang scope of your work.

lahat na ata nasabi na ni Christine ..

WARNING: walang GRAVY ALL YOU KANIN ang KFC at MCDO dito.. at wala din silang rice or chicken meal. culture shock pero ok naman..

TINE, mukhang kabisado mo na Singapore ah.. pero di mo pa ko nidadalaw sa room ko..
JENARO and JEFF -- pasalubong ha.. ok na sa akin ang isang kilong pistachio nuts .

(may inedit lang.. haba pala nito haha..)

a month and a half palang ako dito sa sg so i dont know much yet pero share ko lang tong budget analysis ko for the past month na pananaliksik, paninirahan at pagtratrabaho ko dito sa ibayong lugar hehe.. sana makatulong sa mga baka may plans lumipat ng sg like jenaro & jeff and other cgp members..

exchange rate as of today: 1 sgd = 32.60 php
1 usd = 1.38 sgd

HOUSE - usually house sharing.. 2-3 bedrooms sa isang flat.. you can get your own room or may kashare ka sa room. eto na yung pinaka cheap na option. kasi mahal talaga ang tirahan dito sa sg.
*pag mas malayo sa city, mas mura rent at pag mas malapit mas mahal..naobserbahan ko lang while i was looking for a place to stay. hehe.
rates near city:
usually with 1 month advance & 1 month deposit.

a.) HDB flat with 1 master bedroom na may t&b & ac, 1 room w/ ac, 1 storage room, a common t&b, kitchen & living room (1600-2000sgd) exclusive of PUB.. flats with 3 bedrooms tulad ng kila sir nilo 2300sgd above. hati hati yung mga housemates sa rent & sa pub. pag solo mo yung room 600-800sgd.

b.) condo unit - 2000+ sgd. ang mahal hehe.. dito ok kasi solo mo yung unit & may privacy. complete pa yung facilities like gym, bbq pit, playground, pool, sauna, security guard etc.. kaso ubos na yung sweldo sa rent palang hehehehe.. may condo unit sharing din w/ at least 2 rooms so cheaper & mas ok kasi lesser people.

PUB - electricity, wifi, water bill, gas (min 100 sgd.. depende kasi kung magastos ka sa kuryente at tubig at balak magpakabit ng TFC at magsubscribe pa sa ibang channel tulad ng Foxcrime hehehe)

now sa isang flat ako nakatira.. 400 rent ko (inclusive of PUB) 3 girls kami sa room and there are 2 more rooms na may nagshashare din. totoo walang privacy & i always bring my cam & laptop w/ me. hayz.. or dapat ako bumili ng vault na triple ng presyo ng mga yan HAHA.. though sobrang ok naman mga kasama ko.. and wala naman pakealamanan, mahirap parin magtiwala. so naghahanap narin ako ng sariling room at least.

TRANSPO - by bus/train: 50sgd.. malapit lang kasi ako sa work.. 1 bus ride lang. pag mas malayo at maraming transfers, mga around 70sgd at kung gagala ka ng gagala araw araw gawin mo na 100.. hehehehe

FOOD - namamalengke ako and i cook my own food.. before kumakain ako sa hawkers (food centers) kaso hindi ko gusto and nauumay at nalalansahan ako sa food. pwera nalang yung fried chicken ng mga indian hehehe.
rates sa hawker : 2.50-6 sgd
sa mga fast food like mcdo, kfc, bk etc.. - 5-8 sgd busog na.
per meal yan so x 3/day.. kung medyo malakas kumain x 4 or 5 hehe.

gastos ko sa food since namamalengke ako at grocery - 150/month lang.

CELLPHONE LOAD - ok na sakin yung 28sgd na super hot 128 ng Singtel. 128sgd card value valid for 50 days with overseas & local calls na. hehe. i bought my sim card for 13sgd with free 10sgd load.
pag naka line: officemate ko has her iphone 3g w/c she bought for 265sgd from starhub, contract is 2 years.. 50sgd bill nya per month naka 3g na yun.. tipid pa kasi nakakatawag sya overseas ng free using skype and nakakatext via chikka using her iphone.

aside sa expenses ko dito, since single pa ako at may isa lang na pinapaaral na kapatid, may pang remit pako, onting pang shopping & naitatabi. yan lang po muna.. i hope makatulong kahit pano..

Edit: yun binalik, inedit lang pala....

Grabe ang Mahal naman pala sa SG......Mamumulubi ako dyan...hahahaha...Mas okay parin sa akin ang Beijing mura lahat...
pero Okay naman ang Salary rate...


@Jeff- Why dont you ask Christine, Diba nasa SG na sya?

about TAX,

once a yr lang ang tax dito.. unless PR ka na or citizen, which kumukkuha sila ng percent sa sahod mo.. pero nagagamit at nararamdaman mo naman un.. you can use it to your medical , pambili ng bahay, kotche ..

pero kung tulad kita na working visa lang (EP, SPASS ) once a year lang.. tas pag lumagpas ng 22k ang annual na kinita mo.. dun ka na mey tax .. depende pa un sa laki ng sinasahod mo ..

eh miss chie musta nmn job hunt ngaun sa sg? medyo madali nb ngaun? or matumal pa rin? TIA

job? ... mas ok kung mag apply ka na online before coming here...

about sa job application, pass and other stuff about working & living in sg, check nyo po dito.. http://www.pinoysg.com/forum/index.php?sid=fe9f3eb36390e8dec7b1ba68d5f2d5fd

(ate chie yung TJ natin ha.. pakisabi sa mga galing pinas hihihihihi... punta ko sainyo soon dont worry )

KettleRenderer wrote:job? ... mas ok kung mag apply ka na online before coming here...

Pero ate, minsan mas prefer ng mga companies jan ang nasa sg na before nila hire.... yaw nila ng nasa ibang lupalop pa ng mundo...! may nakapag sabi lang sakin na nasa sg na rin...

Christine, i was hoping ikaw na mananawagan sa lahat ng galing Pinas na pupunta dito about sa TJ hotdogs natin

Kuya Juni , yeah, maski sino naman mas prefer nila un andito na.. para mas less hassle pag asikaso ng pass, chaka they can call you anytime ..
pero if ever you apply online, indicate when will you be coming here so that they can schedule an interview.
e pproblemahin mo pa un.. mas madami na co ngaun gusto nila un PR na ..

ayan ate chie alam na nila ang panawagan natin paki samahan narin po ng century tuna lechon paksiw..

tama po si ate chie kuya juni, pag nag apply online be sure po na yung mga listings na may nakalagay na open to foreigners.. yung iba ko kasing classmates may experience na nandito na sila for interview yun pala pr/singaporean lang ang hinahanap kaya make sure po.. pag may nagrespond sa application nyo online, they will call you for a personal interview. kaya fly na agad sa sg hehe. mas ok po yun may naipon na po kayong interviews kesa dito palang pagdating sa sg mag apply.. it saves time & money.. awa ni Bro, sa case ko and sa iba, may offer na po agad sa pinas palang kaya swerte.
