Life in SG prior to start working

November 7th, 2008 by SteD

It took them 1 week + 1 day to process my medical checkup which consists of blood test and X-ray…I was told that it can be processed like in a day or two…damn, I was sitting idle at home most of the time in SG, playing PSP, watching TV, play with Brandy the dog, surfing around aimlessly, while waiting for the medical check up result and was I kinda nervous because I’m afraid that there’s some problems with my blood or something.

Everyone back in Penang was asking me when I’ll be starting to work and I couldn’t tell them an exact date due to this stupid report. knn…
And so today finally my company got my medical report and I went to MOM ( Mask of Madness for you dota freaks! Ministry of Manpower for normal peeps ) and thinking that if I could collect my EP ( Employment Pass ) at the same day, I could go back Penang one trip to get my ABAP books and meet up with my friends,family and Shuant.

Unfortunately, MOM was so crowded that I only can get my EP on the next day. So back to Penang trip was canceled. I went into the wrong queue in MOM, they’ve 2 types of passes, one is called employment pass and one is work permit, mine is EP…which generally is for those cert holders(diploma or degree above) I think, so I was queueing up at the work permit line, and all of a sudden I realized that I’m the only chinese standing in that queue ( the rest are all bangla), I pulled out my documents from the envelope and re-read it again, farking it says Employment Pass. So I wasted sometime there having to re-queue again. Shit.

Anyway, Brandy the dog…when he wants something from you eg. something to eat, he’ll act very innnocent and stares at you.

P/S: I’ll be start working onna monday!

Best Omnia user

November 2nd, 2008 by SteD

Finally I’ve registered a phone line in SG, got myself a HTC Touch Pro with $888, compared to RM3k+ in Penang…been playin around with my new phone the whole night hehe

Met up with Wince ham, Seng ham and Valk ham in Orchard few days back, and here I present you the ‘best’ omnia user of the month…

Instead of using a stylus, he’s using a chopstick to navigate around the omnia. *claps*

Growing Mushrooms in SG

October 31st, 2008 by SteD

So my daily activities now consist of playing PSP, surfing, chating, watching TV and playing with the dog haha

My aunt cooked for dinner yesterday, then my cousin came back from work and he brought me to a cybercafe nearby for Dota. Ok…there’s a huge difference with the cybercafe back in MY and here in SG. First of all, you need to register yourself with your IC card, as for me, I registered myself using my passport, fill up a form, they issued me a member card and I need to pay SGD5 for it.

Back in MY, you just throw yourself onto the chair and scream loudly “OINK, OPEN PC XXX KNN!” wahhaha

We played for like 1 hour and after that I opted for supper, I ordered a chicken murtabak…thinking that the portion of the murtabak would be like in Penang…

Apparently I was wrong…

murtabak chicken

For the name sake of being a cow, I tried to finish it but I failedĀ  :(

The murtabakcosts SGD5 too… kena yam haha

Well after that we walked back to my aunt’s house and I was too full and couldn’t sleep until like 3am.

The download speed here is fast…streaming on youtube etc is really an enjoyable experience wahhaha.

New chapter in life :)

Bunch of siao kias heng dai bid goodbye to me at the bus stop…and I just realized I have so little pictures on my handphone despite so many pictures taken on that night, whoever has the pic please send me XD

The stupid bus…they confirmed that they’ll be using Woodlands to go into SG…but ended up using 2nd link, imagine all the inconveniences they might caused to people who arrange relative or friends to pick them up in woodlands custom, but lucky for me, by using 2nd link, it’s only SGD 5 to grab a cab to my aunt’s house.

taken when crossing 2nd link bridge

So basically I spent my first day in SG doing my medical check up, cycle to MRT station from my aunt’s house, bought a ez-link card, 45mins MRT to Ang Mo Kio, take a bus to my office but then shit happened…

I got off the wrong bus stop and had to walk like 20 mins under the hot sun to find my office knn betui hehe Reach office, was instructed to take a bus and walk to the clinic nearby for medical check up. Played 1 hour of PSP sitting there in the polyclinic of Ang Mo Kio waiting for the Xray peeps went out for lunch @@

and the doctor who did my medical check up, he’s young and handsome, not like those old farts cheap skate doctors who usually do medical check up for company people…but the down side is, that handsome dude took like 3-5 mins poking the needle in and out trying to retrieve some blood of mine for checking…knn inexperience lar…so hor, old fart also good in a way :P

Brandy…my aunt’s doggie

Brandy…who always like to lick people’s leg =.=

The room I’m staying :) It’s comfortable and my relative is sincerely being nice to me. Rental is dirt cheap and at times meals and laundry are also included, air-conned, a stupid dog to entertain you when you’re bored, smoking-enabled, but it’s like 1 hour journey to my office. I’ll see how it goes after work started :)

Cheers! Dont miss me torrent, bei couple, shuant, troops, badminton gng and bei wang men. Well I really miss you guys thou wahha
