    back to this topic of petrol consumption.O2 sensor checked,nothing wrong.Monitored it last 2 pumps,it was 43L for 285km on 95.

    almost all bros here recommended honda and toyota.Any other brand that is good in petrol consumption? Any comment about 2nd hand car?I have been scouting around before the decision is made,very headache leh...

    sis, try latio. big and spacious, 15km/l for normal driving. can hit >600km on 45l tank of petrol.

    honda is good and fc not bad around 12km/l (i think) and altis oso around there. dun be fooled that toyota super good fc. the g9 has very good fc but not altis.

    bonus!!!

    companies are probably the ones who lobbied to gahmen to introduce flexi wage.

    flexi wage means they can cut anytime they want. what makes u think it means they will return to you :P

    nowadays, once u hit 35, can start to worry about losing your job liao. stupid gahmen still thinks 62 is an ideal retirement age.

    the reason why they still ask for O and A levels is becos degree is too common liao. hard to judge the academic performance in uni cos nowadays, there are projects, etc that makes up the grades and some uni are not so stringent with grades since they are mostly profit churning business. if a uni always produce a lot of 1st class honours, the student enrolment will jump! so they look at O and A levels.

    number of years working does not equate to experience. experience is what you learnt and able to apply. that is hard to evaluate, hence the reason why the interviewer normally gives scenarios, etc. this is why now it is common to ask candidate to describe most challenging moment, how you overcome, etc. but someone who knows nuts can still smoke lah. juz read all those interview tips and think of a story first.

    govt should restrict FT, juz like US and Australia. there are guidelines in place to ensure locals get priority. being competitive is not only about lower cost of labour. govt should take a holistic view. if labour cost is the factor, downgrade singapore to 3rd world country status. only when the cost of living is low then it is possible to get people to take lower pay. im sure we can be even cheaper than india or china.

    unfortunately, we have to live with their policies cos they won the election. so what do we do? the way out is to migrate, take lower salary than FT or move yourself up to management (but then u will face what middle mgrs fear... retrenchment cos they are the 1st to go). upgrading is juz moving from one problem to another (eg u used to program in C, now u upgrade and can do Java, what is the diff??? or u upgrade to do network, same thing rite??? FT is always in your shadow!). upgrading is juz propaganda, juz like job redesign.

    btw, did u read about the extra $ being put into the Transport Assistance program or something like that. this is to help those who cannot afford to pay for public transport. stupid rite? the policy created this problem in the first place. public transport, or should i say, public services should never be privatised becos a private company (or public listed) priority is making $.

    the reality sucks! we are doomed...

    Feng Shui....Location of Fish Tanks....

    > It is often advised that the aquarium is placed to the left side of the main door to > attract money. The direction is taken when one is standing inside looking out.

    This is true.

    I have a fish tank on top of my washing machine cos the left side of my main door is a wall and behind the wall is the yard for hanging clothes, where the washing machine is.

    If you want to place tanks (likely ponds) outside the house, then it should be the right side, when u face the front door from outside!

    Reef Maniac customer but...

    seriously lah... as customer we all want the best but i think the manufacturer will also have their constraint and policies.

    to setup resale product is not an issue but will need to charge time and material. $50 for a setup is low if you consider time spent is going to be min 3 hours (include travel time). at the rate the products are being resold, i think the manufacturer needs to open a service centre instead of a factory.

    this is not juz on marine product. i juz bought a resale flat recently and found the bathroom waterproofing to be leaking. i called the developer who was suppose to give warranty on it but their reply... it is to first owner only.

    same goes to some cars but not all.

    back to joe's case. perhaps he has his reason not to make this exception but that is his choice and is really not fair to criticize the manufacturer for something that you asked for later, esp when the terms are different. even if you deem it to be fair.

    juz my 2 cents. im out of marine so less stress, more time so here i am being a kaypoh!
