How much do I get pay

Taylors college.
working in Singapore after i graduate

I'm from Dh19 Specialise Cuisine. Graduated 2006 diploma.
Few days After I had my final exam done, my class mate was asking me if I wanna work in Singapore,well I always wanted to work in overseas so we went to Singapore two days after.
I had a interview in Singapore with a fine food company 'Les amis' that i got info from internet.So i got the job as a commis.The work permit is apply by the company, it was fast ,it takes 3 days to be done.The work permit have a period of 2 years.Well you can choose to leave after 1 year to another company or choose to come back Malaysia.So hows the pay? the pay was pretty good actually.I wrote 1200$ when i fill the application form, so the chef gave me 1200$ without saying anything,arhhh,i Should had wrote there more than 1200$....hah
I have the basics of 1200$ there is still split shift allowance , overtime pay,tips.Every month i got lots of overtime pay,at least 300$,lots of mis e plus after the lunch service,got stocks,stews,braised and meat fabrication to do...so we only got to rest 3 or 4 pm...
Tips,kitchen staff get tips as well,at least 300$ a month.The restaurant business was really good,customers are willing to pay..
So a month my pay can be 2000$ to survive in singapore...minus 250$ room rent,100$ for transport,200-300 for food and entertaiment.....You can save up at least a 1000$ every month..Most of the restaurant provide meals for staff's lunch n dinner.So we dont really spend much on food,but seriously some times the food really bad...so i went out for food court...
The cost of living there are consider not high,for me i prefer the cost of living there better than here.
