hey jojobeach lemme tell u than renting a place near ur work tha will depends becasue if i rent a place neat my current office its like nothg less thant 2.2k jsut a room, iknow this m'sian guy staying with his wife, sahring an apart with a s'porean couple well the m'sian pays 2.2k for the middle room whereby the whole house a 3 bedroom cost about 5.5k to 6k so they keeping one room for guest. think now!

jojobeach
if ur place near the office of course u'll avoid the rush but not that easy to get one...

"Which place in Dubai is best to look for jobs and place to live ?" i think u mean where in the UAE is best to work well dubai is good u've got abu dhabi too(the capital) but most companies are in Dubai so chances are higher there.

of course u can cook thats a wise choice to save.. but groceries are abit expensive tho.. u'll still save money instead of eating outside.. a 1L milk cost abt 6AED almost=2.2SGD

Dude its not an apartm that just a room shared in an appartm. dun confuse which means u'll share kitchen n bathroom. so with 1.8 thats just a small room n no garantie for the room cleanliness..let me tell u the price ins AED u do the conversion that way i'll be more accurate.. at least 5k(AED ya) that a studio with small kithcenet n bathroom excluding Water elec internet n other expense..btu u must be very luck ti get one because everyone is renting that type of studio. also the rental is to be paid yearly or quarterly some how nothing less than 170,000 a year then got to see if its furnished or not and so on...

purchasin u can not a problem now tho before its was not possbiel but please do'nt tink about it its is hell a lot of money jsut soo much for a tiny place. nothing less than 500,000 for a 1 bedroom and a hall THATS IT ! u see now..

I cant understand this guys can u help to explain "And getting hitch is difficult ? "

well the cold beer is hard to say as i dun drink but that would be arnd 25-30SGD maybe little less or more..  done jojobeach

guys wat does TS mean ?

well i dun mind adiscrimination as i have been for 4 years in m'isa droped by s'pore too so s'pore will discriminate less, n to me thats not a issue.. hey jojobeach dun worry dubai got no discrimanation relax..n wid english u can do pretty well there everyone one speaks it..

NOW my question is HOW MUCH CAN A MONTHLY SPEND BE IN S'PORE in average been asking for the 3rd time now plz suggest

oh ya i for got oublic transport will kill u n make u shout on the street like crazy  -taxi dun stop eventho they are empty and buses always full..

I will be looking for an IT job will i be able to get one easily??? beside that i got exp. in sales and marketing and am excelent in the 4 languages (the 3 officials + 1)and 2 languages working on them

yo ifish was typing the long msg loool

great to hearthat from s'pore dun worry am not those who say muslim with appearence islam is in heart n good acts thats all having beard n blablabla means nothg ..dun worry i dun like it neither ..btw am french educated been mixed wid many foreigners

ya true expensive standard living here cant save much mah

nationality u wont know it.. Djiboutian sure no one knows n if i bet i'll get milllions ^^

thanks a lot Yunhaier, guys sometimes we need seriousness

now let me reply u jojobeach, i'll provide u with the most accurate answer and things i really seen in Dubai so u can be prepared n expect them let go:

How is life there ?  life in here is about the same in S'pore Food-wise: seeing the currency as i remember being in s'pore u spend like 6 to 8 $ on meal so in here its the same thats like 13 to 15 $ (currency rate abt 1AED=2.23SGD) thas a normal meal, but if u go to cheap place like in s'pore got hokka n this stuff mah so here got those indian place but not too clean lor so u will have to spend at leat $6 for ur meal..
Work-wise: u won't appreciate becoz u'll be out at 7 smthg be in jam then work till 6pm(mostly n sometime 7pm) hribble jam be home at 7.30 earliest or 8.30 someitmes 9pm it happen trust me u got to makan quick/checkmail/post forum(like i do) cathc the sleep at its earliest n the next day the same

Money-wise: they can really pay that at the position of ceo director manager n of course local... blindly.. but s'pore pays too so not a big prob beco think like this way u get 6k or 7k in dubai thats arnd 2.8k or 3.4k in s'pore no difference meh if in s'pore u get 4k to 5k there u get 8.5k to 11k same same lah

mind-wise: u cant relax ur mind with the routine of office traficjam sleep 5/7 or 6/7 chillin got but cant make many friends here too coz whoel week u damn bs wod ur"routine" now tell me whois ur friend ur "bed&sleep" my friend

am not discouragin but am telling u the truth Bros+Sis so u can have an idea and be more realistic than a dreamer!

I heard, job opportunities are aplenty. Is this true ? thats ya got a lot liek S'pore mah

What is the cost of living like in Dubai ? House is damn crazy nothg less than 1.8kSGD for just a room or small studio.. so thats hell no privacy must share n u know the rest mind peace =0Will it be ok for me to take on a local term job ? can take a job anyone not a prob working permit too easy i got mine in 3 hours done. also my country got good relation wid dubai ...that palya role dun worry s'pore very well respeted ^^ hurray

According to my friends.. they say Dubai is one of the fastest growing economy in that region.. and living standards are pretty good. thats a lie

What do you think ? Will it be a good move ? well if u think u can get ride of this obstacle i have no idea n will serve u n anyone here to move n provide help ! guys gf its hard to get ar .. n girls bf are to get ar. after my diagnosis i can say that those who r married or engaged or in a damn serious relatuonship can be a bit ok lah.. but saving the money dunt expect much am struggling aldi

drop the comments guys + i need the monthly average spend in S'pore plzzz

thats very positive and good what am saying its that 2.2k is in Dubai, but in S'pore they would pay around the same isn't it i can see salaries are around 2k to 3k( Seldom at 1.8k)

well first lemme me say sorry that i only stated chinese i really apologize ha.. coz i just oopen my eyes n saw that n i i was late to go to office couldn't write everythg...

well dubai is leading but u must know one thing only its own ppl are too high paid and can survive and of course others but let say we as a mid-call ppl its hard but its possible am not discouragin u guys..jsut now i saw a job for 150,000 AED lamsap money ha .. they need a local think of it 1st... well cut that off nw

y i wanna move many reason one of them is this ur day will be office -- traffic-jam--sleep u see hardly can relax n go to teh tarek lah n go on mamak stores or chill out within friends after office time.. u've got to choose either sleep good or eat wid friend+sleep less or do house work n still sleep less.. u ve got like 4 hours which makes u frustrating n many ppl complainig abt it

like take my example to be on real scenario n clear i posted the previous message at arnd  7.15am n here i am posting this one rite after my shower n its 8 pm so u get it now do ur calculation.. aha c u got it now ^^ u get my point now guys.

luckily its weekend mah.. so far the feedback abt s'pore am getting its good.. but i need a crucial reply how much an average spend can be for a month?

gunner77 how does s'pore catogorize the FT?

well am an IT guy, holding CCNA(Cisco stuff) and soon incha allah MCSE(Microsoft stuff) B.Sc hons.. am i considered FT??

hey  cutie angel wats tarhan means ?

new comers i dunnot which fucking race u r but let me tell u one thing if u chinese or watever race am never gonna generalise things thats not how a person should talk stupid boy.. u r the waste of the education .. c wat arabs r todays take a look at how dubai is leading the economic world take open ur fucking mouth..

morron, t'es un vrai salopard toi enfoiree

thats a positive reply let us see other point of view .. hey 'alwaysdisturbed' thanks a lot dude.. i can sleep more relax now ar .. hihi.. hope other say somthg ...

Well guys+gals let me be straight forward to the point.. i am planning to move to S'pore by year end to settle down there and get a job. i have choosed S'pore because i don't think i can find any other better place than Singapura after my researches

Thinking somehow of leaving my current job here in Dubai and move to Singapore for a job hunt. well getting paid about 2200SGD could be a huge risk tho hein!

The main question now is will it be easy to find a job ? Can foreigner find jobs in there and go through the normal procedure smoothly? (like working permit and the normal stuff when u work abroad lor)

I got indonesian friends we used to study together in malaysia(Sunway) and are now working in S'pore, one of them he tried to work in M'sia but his working permit got reject (as they do to everyone recently my bestfriend from indo his got rejected too) but he is now working in S'pore .. pretty fair and  organized S'pore huh!

The second question this before this job hunt i'll have to save good money incha allah so with that i can survive hopefully, if anyone can tell how much a person can spend in a month on an average spend?

I have been in S'pore on Xmas 2004 and the tsunami's eve too! what a coincidence rite lool ... surely things got changed now, i am planning a trip to S'pore soon this August well if the plan goes well hor

So guys  Your advice, help and point of view will be very helpful and will appreciate it, will wait till then

cheers ^^

that too bad , dude u r getting into a real worng way finish it now ... once for all, all for one trust me

Singapore i a country that respects things written in black and white so don't thing citizenship can do somthging or skin color either a white or black UK ! can do smthg..

or like wat that supid person "小白脸" said color blablabla just no sense wtf u think other colors r ain't they human beings ?? such things piss me really off .. i hate when ppl think white are too up there .. trust me 小白脸 u can find them on the street without knowing what to eat n holes in their pockets

u have been dragged so far by that girl .. i know s'porean girl are too good but u wrerent wise n good thinker .. jamesbond finishes his mission then go to girls learn  it for next time..

hope to c ur msg else means u r canned .. let us know .. will pray u go out of it smoothly incha allah - have faith and trust allah n u'll see

let me conclude a point here wai leng, as wirtten above am jsut telling u again to know someone better a cafe time will be the best.. jsut be open minded i promise u that the only way thro.... jsut do not prejudge anyone in this world because that not how an educated person should act .. Simple
