Got it?

Welcome to S'pore! Working here? You collect yr EP at the MOM. To open up an account at DBS, UOB, or OCBC, you will need yr NRIC no. or FIN. But only as SC or PR, you have to contribute to CPF. Since condos are expensive, most S'poreans live in HDBs. Also, they take the MRT rather than the car, because they don't want to pay for ERP. But if you want to go to KL, you better go BKE and then take the PIE, it is faster. For making donations you can go to BTRTM or KMSPKSM, and to learn about Asia just drop in ACM or NAMOC. Call a friend on her HP and have a quick lunch together at KFC or TCC. Get money from the ATM and make all of yr transactions at an S.A.M. - or was this sth about modern art?
Btw, the AC in yr flat needs maintenance every six months, so you better KIV this. Got it?
