Pareng Butch, matutulungan kita riyan. Batang Singapore ako eh, nagwo-work ako sa isang telecom company.

About house rentals, kasama mo ba family mo? Mas mura kung sa HDB ka magri-rent. Ito yung pabahay ng gobyerno para sa mga Singaporeans. Yung 2-3 Bedrooms (furnished) around S$ 800 - 1,000/month, depende pa yan sa lugar.

Ako sa isang condo nakatira, ang 2 bedrooms (furnished), bayad namin S$1,200, sharing kami ng officemate ko. Mas maganda kung sa condo kasi complete facilities pool,playground,tennis/basketball courts,mini-mart).

Sa salary mong $S3,500, puwede na yan. Wala bang housing allowance? Mahal talaga yung housing. Kung solo ka, para makatipid ka, hanap ka ng ka-share mo sa housing. Okay sa Singapore, medyo may kamahalan nga lang, at kung wala kang control sa pera mo, at mahilig ka sa nightlife, wala kang matitipid.

many thanks chua_riwap,

actually i`ve been there sa Singapore pero vacation lang. mag-isa lang ako sa ngayn ana pupunta.

btw, yung offer sa akin sa me bandang orchard road.

sa 3.5K, me maiipon kaya ako dun?

Basta marunong kang "humawak" ng pera mo, makakaipon ka. Since mag-isa ka namang pupunta ng Singapore, hanap ka ng ka-share mo sa housing, para makatipid ka.

That's P110,000 a month, a salary you cant dream of having of in the Phils. Just to give you an idea, headhunters here are recruiting manpower from the Visayas area where they have takers for jobs where they offer salaries lower than 2K. So I guess that's a pretty good offer you have considering it's your 1st time to work in Singapore. As what the guys above have said, it all depends on you on how you manage your finances. Good luck!

3.5k S$ is already a good offer. May mga officemate ako ng kumagat ng 2.1k-2.6k S$. Babawi na lang daw sila sa OT.

I worked in Singapore for 6 years straight a few years ago + 3 years na pabalik balik. S$ 3,500 magandang offer na yan. Tanong is "kasama ba diyan yung Housing Allowance?" As Butch says, kung gusto mong magtipid, share ka na lang ng flat, marami ng Pinoy sa Singapore so I think looking for a flat mate is easy. Allow each meal S$ 3-4. If you are a smoking guy, better stop it now before you go, maghihirap ka niyan, isang hitit lang will cost you 5 petot...he..he...he.. S$10 dollar na yata per pack (alam ni bro Butch yan). Magastos din ang nightlife sa Singapore, if you want to drink, drink at home na lang.......and...mag-ingat sa tukso.... (baka tuksuhin ka ni Butch mag gudtaym)

1. $10 a day, mas makakatipid ka kung take-out mo na lang kasi $1 din ung drinks (mineral, canned drinks, etc...)
2. $250-400 kung room lang.

bring enough money for 1-1.5 month allowance, karamihan dito ay once a month ang sahod.
