Normally I don't do this, but there seemed to be some marketeers using Singapore virtual numbers ranging from 31290xxx doing spam marketing calls recently and they are bold and irritating. Their calls start as early as 7am and the latest I received was almost 11pm. When I did get calls on a particular day, they could reach 20 calls in a single day with the last 3 digits different each time. Being on the DNC list and complaint to PDPC, they could not do anything. Threatened these morons not to call anymore, they laughed back. WTF?! My blood pressure must have shot up 20 points. Apparently a few persons I know also got such calls, which are as good as harassment. Anyone else received these calls and who do you turn to for help?

Running my own business was a tedious affair that eventually went belly up, so was left with no choice but to return to the job market seeking employment in my mid-30s. Attended a few interviews and somehow felt the interviewers were looking down on me for having ran a company which failed. Haven't received any job offers, still on hunt for a suitable gig. I estimated that I lost around 300k purely in opportunity costs accrued from not taking up a salaried role during this entire period, which needless to say makes for sufficient dough to buy a humble HDB flat to nicely settle down already. I realised that once your resume makes mention of you having dabbled in a business venture previously or took up a self-employed vocation such as being a private hire car driver, your standing immediately takes a huge tumble in the eyes of prospective employers; you are deemed much less employable, ie expect to be basically grouped within the same category as former bankrupts and former convicts. Why do I say that? Because its true. In their narrow-minded wisdom they expect a former bankrupt to become bankrupt again, a former convict to return to a life crime, a former business owner to forever dabble in uninspiring enterprises, a private hire car driver to remain a lowly chauffeur all his life.

Now you say "I do" also expensive liao. For those planning to tie the knot the later half of the year, the Registry of Marriages (ROM) has just announced that they will be increasing the fees starting from 1 July 2017. According to reports, the price hike will affect foreigners the most with the fees increased to a flat fee of $380 for all dates. Previously it costs $128 on weekdays, $198 on weekends and $298 on popular days. For Singaporeans and Permanent Residents (PR), the fees will be upped from $26 to $42 for the registration. A ROM spokesman states the price review was made to keep up with rising operational costs and ensuring quality service for the registrants.

Need some advice from experienced bro. I experienced this problem once when I can't start my Altis. . Batt was ok so the mechanics suspected spark plug. Changed that but didn't solve and they discover that the "pump" is not pumping petrol to the engine so got they changed as well. Initially it was ok. But now it will usually take me 3 attempts before it get started. Any idea what is the possible causes? And if want to fix, how much will it cost? Considering whether to expand coe or scrap so want to have a feel of what is the repair cost likely to be to help make the decision. Thanks in adv.

Hi bros, anyone had encounter this problem? When I started my engine, there was this screeching sound appear. Think is the alternator belt causing the sound. Anyone had tried using WD 40 to smooth it? Or roughly how much it will cost to change the belt? Thanks in advice.

Hi guys, I am quite the impatient sort, and I have set up a routine to press the Start Engine button and immediately switch the gear to Drive (from Park), then pull seat belt and drive off, all within a few seconds. The problem is... Recently, i was doing this routine more and more quickly, until 1 time when I switched the Gear to Drive (from Park), the car/gearbox keeps vibrating, then I quickly switched back to Park and off the Engine, then I restart Engine and after a while then switch to Drive. Did I do any damage to my car's engine or gearbox?

Hi all, Viewed a second hand VW Golf over the weekend, car condition is generally good, price is reasonable and its still under warranty from VW Singapore. Was checking out the vehicle's details at onemotoring and the engine code caught my attention, its LTA******* The other models that I viewed previously all started with CAXB******* The car and engine bay looks stock, is the difference in engine code something to be wary of? Thanks.

Hey everyone, not sure if this is the right category to post this doubt but just like to ask a simple question to all car drivers out there. When the key is inserted into the ignition, do you turn the key to ACC and wait for the faint sound in the background and the indicators in the dashboard to disappear before cranking, or do you just turn the key immediately to crank once the key is in the ignition? Which is better, less harmful in terms of wear/tear etc and why? Would appreciate all feedback, just like to clear some doubts and see the views of different drivers. Cheers!

hi guys, has anyone ever encountered a dull "eee" sound when starting the car. It seemed to come from the automatic adjustment of the steering wheel from rest to driving position when the car is being started. I drive a 8.5yr old lexus car which comes with automatic retraction of the steering wheel when one disembarks from the car. can any experts advise me?

Previously been experiencing difficulty in starting from time to time (few weeks once). It goes like this, Physically Crank .......-no response for 2-3secs-...... then the cranking sound starts and engine is started without any coughing. Yesterday the problem got worse. It goes like this, Physically Crank .......-no response for 2-3secs-...... cranking sound starts but comes with coughing .......-no response again for 2-3secs-...... cranking sound starts again and engine started with some difficulty. Is this straight out battery needed to be replaced or something wrong with my starter motor?

Hi guys, I am graduating soon and are looking for jobs already... got a couple of interviews and some pending ones coming... My doubt is whether, as an IT personnel, to start from a state board job or a non-state board one would probably be more beneficial for me future career status. All I have been hearing is that starts from a private firm and progress on to the government sector will be the best. However, I dun quite understand 'best'. From my perspective, if i were to start anywhere, the next job I'd hopped to will definitely pay more than my last salary. The question is whether I am allowed to ask for a larger raise if I jumped from a private firm to a government sector firm ? If the raise in salary for the next job is constant in the equation then perhaps starting in a government firm would be the choice since it yield a higher starting salary. Any advice from some of the bros already in the industry ? Thanks !

The good news keep coming! Congratulations to the class of 2010! More good years! ----- Mar 22, 2011 Class of 2010: More jobs, better starting pay for grads By Jane Ng Miss Ku Kairong, 25, from NTU's school of art, design and media, got a job as an art director with advertising agency TBWA before she graduated last May and will soon be joining another agency. -- ST PHOTO: RAJ NADARAJAN WITH the economic recovery, the Class of 2010 from the three local universities is reporting higher employment rates and better starting salaries compared to graduates from the year before. In particular, graduates from the Singapore Management University (SMU) last year had a record employment rate of 99.9 per cent and higher starting salaries across five of the university's degree programmes, surpassing the performance of graduates in 2009, when 96.8 per cent found employment. At the National University of Singapore (NUS) and the Nanyang Technological University (NTU), about 90 per cent found jobs within six months. These were among the findings of the Graduate Employment Survey just released by the Education Ministry. The average monthly salary among SMU graduates in full-time jobs was $3,271, an improvement of 5.8 per cent over 2009's figure of $3,093 - it is also the highest for SMU graduates since its first cohort graduated in 2004.

There were some among the 125 top-earners who were paid up to $13,000 a month.

I have been experiencing difficulty in starting my engine for a few weeks now. the problem is not constant. sometimes start without a hint of problem, sometimes can't start. The problem is when i crank the engine, it will either: 1) keep on cranking like there's no fuel supply, 2) have a choking feeling. like wanna start but can't, and can feel e engine jerking, 3) start but after a few secs, will jerk and then stall or 4) crank a few secs, jerk a bit, then start without a prob. No difference whether i start the car: 1) when cold, 2) when warmed up, 3) in the day or at night, 4) after car parked for many hours or 5) immediately after shutting off the engine. it is just random. as and when it likes. Car is a Manual 07 lancer GLX 1.6 Brought to mechanic and still unable to rectify the problem. mechanic checked fuel pump, fuel regulator, injector, ECU, battery, fuel pressure and all seemed to be running fine. Any ideas anyone?

dear all... for those who drive manual cars, have you ever push start your car? i have a few questions, hope you can share your views... i start my car many times a day... i have no idea when my starter motor will kaput... so far its still ok... i have only once crank the car when the engine was already on... stupid... but no side effects right?... 1) when you push start a car do you release clutch on 1st gear or 2nd gear? 2) lately a few times when i park on a slope, and i think that letting the car roll down and then engaging a gear to start the car, will save the life of my starter motor... but i am not sure if this will damaging to the car as the car rolls, no power steering no proper brakes and when engine starts immediately everything comes on... wonder if this way of starting the car will damage the car's components... expert advise please... thanks...
