China Town may or may not be the center of focus that I mean....we can have the following. 1. 24 hrs Indoor Soccer Stadium 2. 24 hrs Pasar Malam (mass markets - that I tried to suggest) 3. More 24 hrs Fun Fair 4. More 24 hrs cinemas 5. More 24 hrs shopping centers (Like Mustafa Center) 6. 24 hrs Transportation (Except Monday and Wednesday for MRT Repair) 7. 24 hrs night spots (pubs, discos) 8. 24 hrs Arcades (On Demand - only switch on if you slot $) 9. 24 hrs Internet hubs Can't think of anything right now....maybe 24 hrs SPAs or something...haha If we closes at 10pm everyday...and race for the last bus or MRT...then we limit our own earning potentials. The possibility of night owl style locations for people who don't sleep...or not used to sleeping early. Oh, at night it's definitely cooler ^_^

Really happy to see your posting. Hows' life in Sydney mate ? I miss Sydney a lot. You actually see a lot of ang mohs in casino ? I thought only asians like to gamble, haha. Well, i think for the casino in Sydney, there are many 60% asians and 40% aussies. I agree with you most asians like late night shopping and makan, for ang mohs, they only like to go clubbing or pubs. That's why so many pubs open till morning. Nothing we can do for the hot weather here. Maybe night shopping is a good idea because is cooler, i mean pasar malam style. Most of the comments i get from my ang moh friends is that they like Singapore cleanliness and food. As for shopping and alcohol, is on the high side.

I have overseas experience as well and i think I should be paid more. What is your advise? I am only getting around 3.5K ! http://sgcomplains.com/others/casinos-or-culture-singapore-seeks-tourists/comment-page-1/#comment-177 simontay78 Thu, 28 Jun 2007 03:48:58 +0000 http://sillypore.wordpress.com/2007/06/25/casinos-or-culture-singapore-seeks-tourists/#comment-177 Great...now I know I am underpaid...haha and overworked. ^_^ http://sgcomplains.com/others/casinos-or-culture-singapore-seeks-tourists/comment-page-1/#comment-176 Ronald Thu, 28 Jun 2007 03:47:00 +0000 http://sillypore.wordpress.com/2007/06/25/casinos-or-culture-singapore-seeks-tourists/#comment-176 Yo jimmy mate, how's it going? Externally looking it's good since more jobs created and sure enough will boost economy. But internally speaking, the tax revenues goes to where? Gahmen right? Then in the end, more money = to more power? Then majority us (chinese) whom we've automatically labelled as almost 'money-face' will go question the actual motive? I know I won't, cause I'm chinese mah! That's why I'm proud to be Singaporean. :P Seriously loh, don't mean to pour wet blanket, if 24 hour eatery can appeal to wide audience by all means is good idea. However, u're probably referring to 'asians' who does have this culture. But westerners leh? I saw ang mohs in casinos at late nights, but not many in chinatown leh.. Best to hear comments from outsiders about singapore is from where? I reckon I had the opportunity to hear some comments of singapore from different backgrounds of people here is Oz. Majority of them 1st thing come into their mouth, SINGAPORE TOO BLOODY HOT!!! If I like to gamble or go theme park or see F1 (maybe once in lifetime), I would only consider, I stress, 'ONLY CONSIDER' singapore to go experience these things loh.. Maybe if I happened to transit in Singapore lah.. guess we gotta work out more realistic approach eh guys.. whatcha reckon? Cheers Ronald

Having a cert is just a stepping stone in getting a job and doesn't promise a huge pay raise or promotion. It does not means you will stay employed too. To be frank with you, I graduate with only a ITE cert and i do not have enough money to do my diploma until i start working. With only a diploma, my monthly pay is around 7k plus and I am only 29. With your experience in web design and sales, your pay should be around 3.5 - 4K with diploma.

I happen to have just a diploma in Electronic Computer Engineering and experienced in web design (ASP,PHP, JSP, FLASH) 5 years back and Sales (Seraya, DBS, CITIBANK, StandChart) and now back in web support programmer. Interested in Energy Depletion in my other blog simontay78.wordpress.com and Singapore News (My friend Jimmy ask me to make) sillypore.wordpress.com. Now, I go to any big company they ask just one question......... How long you stay in each company? (immediately faint...the most I stay is 1 year 8 months for sales and 2 years for website) Then they say they will consider and call me back if I am selected...haha Sometimes, its not about if we want to be employees or business owners. It is about if we can stay employed or not...haha

I hope it stays this way because if everyone starts to be creative and become business people, nobody will a salaried job anymore. Is not fair to us as my job involves headhunting for talents who are willing to work their butts off for money. You need a balance in everything, a balance of leaders and followers in Singapore. Leaders like our government come up with plans like F1, IR, Singapore Eye to create jobs for us and we followers must know when to tap in to this resource and make money.
