I once asked a guy - i really did since he was a friend - why he does that in public and he replied that "it was a normal body function, so why not? Why can't he?" Does he also urinate and defecate in public? So i thought, yeah, there aren't any rules about it, are there? Are not? So what is this s...

Picking the nose in public...

Just saw someone doing that while I was having my breakfast this morning... (can't find the puking emoticon)

You miss out the all important anti-perspirant! Nivea is good... I perspire so much out of every pore on my body that even if I bathe 10 times, it doesn't work :o It's genetics. Need to use anti-perspirant... I work in a very manual-labor intensive environment and also up-close and personal with cli...

Nopes, sorry i've been here 13 years never heard of chicken rice as the national dish, so this is new for me... I only know the Singapore Bee Hoon possibly... since I could find this dish overseas.. As for the streets being littered, yes I do stay in HDB and wake up early sometimes... and the street...

I sure don't know who you're mixing with in Singapore lately... And whoever said chicken rice is a national dish? Streets littered with garbage? Get your facts right first, and don't over-exaggerate here. Hi all, reading through the thread with a big smile on my face. I find very few redeeming quali...

I remembered this post, while I was in a cab this morning - with a driver that looked 90 year-old and couldn't ever hear me properly....

Glad I stumbled upon this discussion thread. I find this really interesting. I just got back from working in Seattle and although I'm a local here, I do admit I find it a culture shock to be amongst my own fellow Singaporeans now. For one thing, I'm so used to people saying Thank You, Please, and j...

Actually the weirder the name the easier it is is to find unless it similar to an enlgish name. Lucky, Asia, Lakeisha, Carlos, Raymon, Cool, Whacked are all easy to find. In Hong Kong it easy because they all have nick names like Pokeman etc (no joke) on the email listing and a spreadsheet to match...
