they call me up after i register. i found out that when they advert 'pay only in aug 2010', it is no entirely free until aug 2010, there is the 1x installation charge of $50, then there is the rental fee of $29/3months, ie. ~$9.00/month. So average out total cost til aug 2010 over 9 months , 1 month paying $15 til aug 2010 for euro champions league watching and some other sports... from aug 2010 onwards, it will be the package fee of $27 + $9 for rental fee = $36/month for epl and champ league what u guys think of the charges? worth it to sign now and pay $15/month just for champ league? anyway i now already got starhub, when new nroke singtel won, i was like !@#$%E^&U&! i told my wife we spent wkends making babies rather than get blackmail over football [laugh]

Sorry folks....another noob question from a father-to-be.... What kinda of insurance/saving/education package or plan do you get for your child? I am looking for those long term plan that contribute XX amount of money a month and after say 18 years can get back YY amount of money. Sorry...just wanna have some rough estimation the amount I need to keep aside every month

About $50 a month including GST for the privilege of watching about 20 quality games, most of which are Champs League, cos let's face it who watches the UEFA Cup (or whatever rebranding those marketing genii at UEFA have called it) or Serie A (the world's second most boring league, second only to our own S-League!)

What type of package do you buy and why? And how much do you set aside per month for the insurance payment? Doing some research to consider what to get...hehe besides insurance of cos :)

Anyone try the above package service deal in JB-Car4. Any Good or Bad Feedback. Can trust them or not ?

I thought of getting one service pack for my car.Any lobang?

"Guarantee your warranty" seems very familiar, to remind new ars owner to send their car back to agent for servicing so the warranty will be honoured. However, i feel that the price of agent authorised workshop, aauthorised dealer is getting more and more expensive, not sure about Pi authorised workshop though. Come let me start the ball rolling, sharing the approximate price. Toyota Vios - 10K regular servicing package by BM - $190+ Toyota Vios - 20K regular servicing package (Engine oil, oil filter, air filter and all necessary checks) plus rotating of tyre by BM - $330+ Mercedes E240 - 10k regular servicing (8L engine oil) + change of brake fluid + oil fuel additives by CnC $900+ Hona Stream - 1k First Servicing synthetic il, oil filter, necessary checks by KM $140+ I personally think that BM n CnC is rather expensive. Come lets share ur views.

Another CBL poll since this is the trend here. SBF has members thinkin of donating to others who need it more. How about you?

Here is some good news for those hardworking teachers... Teachers' salaries to go up under new package that costs S$380m By Satish Cheney, Channel NewsAsia | Posted: 28 December 2007 1854 hrs Photos 1 of 1 Related Videos Teachers' salaries to go up under new package that costs S$380m SINGAPORE: The Ministry of Education (MOE) announced at the Principals' Appointment Ceremony Friday that principals and teachers will get higher pay packages starting April 2008. Under a new initiative called Grow 2.0, the annual package of good performing teachers will be increased by up to 12%, while that for better performers will be increased by up to 18%. Costing the government S$380 million per year, this new pay and career package is aimed at making the teaching profession more attractive. Under the new scheme, teachers will receive a one-off salary increment of up to four per cent. They will also be placed on a salary range system with merit increments that are based on one's performance, potential and market wage movements. This will replace the current salary scale system with fixed annual increments. Under the new initiative, there will be higher performance bonuses and sharper differentiation in payouts based on performance. Teachers will receive performance bonuses ranging from one month to 2.25 months. And prior to the roll-out of the new scheme, a performance bonus top-up ranging from 0.5 month to 1.25 months will be given in March. With the above changes, a classroom teacher with three years experience can see his or her annual pay package rise from S$52,000 to S$58,000. And for an outstanding performer, the new package can mean a jump from S$55,000 to S$65,000. Minister for Education Tharman Shanmugaratnam said at the annual ceremony, "(Offering) competitive salaries (is) a necessary but not a sufficient condition... We have to ensure pay remains competitive at every level of the education service." Besides better pay and bigger bonus, the new package will provide teachers with a more attractive remuneration package, more career and development opportunities and greater flexibility to balance the demands of work and family. Currently, only female teachers can apply for no-pay childcare leave up to the child's third birthday. But under the new scheme, both male and female teachers can apply for no-pay childcare leave up to the child's fourth birthday. Yew Tee Primary School teacher Sharul Hisham said, "With regards to work-life balance initiatives that have been announced by the minister, the teaching profession will be more attractive." The new package will also enhance the financial support and leave schemes to enable more teachers to upgrade themselves. Principal of Raffles Junior College Lim Lai Cheng welcomed the new initiative. "At the moment, we're facing challenges of students who are more exposed, who have a stronger hunger for knowledge within a subject area. If teachers can be experts in their areas, definitely (it) will help engage the students better." In addition, more teachers can opt to teach part-time under the new scheme. And up to five more teacher posts will be given to each school cluster to support schools with teachers who are pursuing full-time postgraduate studies. The ministry will also enhance its long-term incentive plan known as CONNECT Plan. Under the current plan, teachers receive annual deposits throughout their career and can draw out a proportion of the money every three to five years. The new package will bring up the total career deposits for CONNECT by about six per cent. Education officers can also draw out their full deposits after 30 years, instead of the current 40 years. The ministry said it is targeting to have 30,000 teachers employed by 2010. Currently it has about 29,000. This year, the resignation rate for teachers was three per cent, half a percentage point more than the previous year. - CNA/ac Source: http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/sin.../319634/1/.html

Hey folks! I just had a bad experience in Trxx Fitnxxx today. Few days ago, I received a call that I am given 2 weeks free for the usage of its gym facilities. So, I went today and thought I will just take the free 2 weeks mebership and be gone in 10-15mins. Never did I realise that I was stuck there for more than an hour, with a few chaps taking their turn persuading me to sign up either the yoga package or the personal trainer package. My Body Fat Measurement by their machine, received a score of 79 and I was deemed very fit. Just that I fall short of a kg. Yet, they were trying to convince me to sign up. When I politely declined their offer, they attempted again and again, asking me questions why I was not interested. Towards the end, I have to firmly tell the personal trainer off that he could not hard-sell his package to me, even when I have told him that I was not interested. He left after that and the supervisor came to me. I gave him a short piece of my mind that he has wasted my one hour when I actually just came to get the 14 days free pass and walked out of their counter. I was super pissed.

Hi everyone. I saw some advertisement on the above last Friday on some sound insulation package for cars. One of the company is http://www.silent.com.sg . I wonder how effective they are. Will they work on cars like eg. Mitsubishi Lancer which some forumers have noted on its poor sound insulation and comparatively noisier engine ? Anyone out there has tried a sound insulation package ? How much do they costs ?

Please note that if you take some guaranteed/immediate package deal to book a car and your dealer gives you an Open Cat (E) COE from this Feb 07 2nd Bidding Exercise, ie. $11,804, it will only be worth the equivalent COE of your car's CAT type, ie.: if your car is 1.6L and below, your $11,804 CAT E COE is only worth the equivalent CAT A COE of $5,200 if your car is 2.0L and above, your $11,804 CAT E COE is only worth the equivalent CAT B COE of $6,002 http://www.onemotoring.com.sg/publish/onem...OE_Rebates.html so don't get conned!
