SINGAPORE EXPATS FORUM
Singapore Expat Forum and Message Board for Expats in Singapore & Expatriates Relocating to Singapore

To the OP: I have something of an iron constitution, or as I like to brag, a heroic immune system and I pretty much never get sick. If I do, I'm over it in 24-36 hours. I didn't get sick at all when I came to Singapore until I moved to my new apartment, July 7th this year. Since then, the only time...

I am ve...

Are you seeking to ignite an expat/FT versus SGns conflict on this forum? Wot!? You must be crazy. I love foreigners the most, they are always so humble and respectful. Please do not utter such rubbish, especially on such a well respected forum filled with intelligent and humble foreigners. Shoo!

Yeah, you are right, you'd probably screw that up as well. Especially considering the ferry would be probably tied to the dock, making it easy for any P6 student to do it. Hopping a ferry is easy, get to the top of the access ramp and hop across to the deck of the boat. But, you are probably right,...

There are two choices for SG, a high currency or higher interest rates. If they start raising interest rates, won't the currency appreciate? As far as tourism is concerned, I can't see any negative implications yet of a strong SGD and the world's largest price-hike in the hotel industry. Logic sugg...

Great insights. I am very sure that such a pulley system can be easily assembled by oneself as well. How to Make a Pulley Clothes Line http://www.doityourself.com/stry/how-to-make-a-pulley-clothes-line Doesn't sound very challenging (Oh I forgot that in SG 'DIY' refers to clearing your own tray at ...

A bit hard innit? Hop a ferry. I would need one of those long jump poles and a lot of good luck.

You could probably make your own quite easily. Go to Homely Hardware... large selection of pulleys and lots of different kinds of rope. Fasten pulley to bamboo pole. Run rope through pulley. Put bamboo pole out the window. Will need to be able to tie down the ends of the rope. Great insights. I am ...

How many restaurants do you see where there are no paper towels in the washrooms? How many times have you gone for the door of a washroom only to find it wet from the last person's hands - do you consider that clean? I certainly don't but the last person either does or doesn't care. And in some cas...

I get sore throats quite regularly here, I definitely blame it on the air conditioning. Going from very hot, to very cold and back again about 10 times a day can't be healthy for your body. We don't use aircon at home either, it's the aircon in the office, restaurants, malls etc... Excellent point....

Hi and welcome to Singapore. I feel so sorry to hear about your plight that I even dropped a few tears for you. I assure you that in such a small town, most people are unscrupulous and what you've encountered is nothing uncommon. There are a few army barracks that would most probably take you in if...

The Chinese speaking S'poreans are a real joy to interact with. They are always so reasonable, polite and warm. The Chinese are an even bigger joy to interact with, I can see where the Chinese speaking S'poreans inherit their great advanced culture from. The Chinese are so advanced these days. Their...

Have to agree with SMS.. while generalizing Asians as a whole may not be the correct thing to do, you would do better to provide a reasoned argument rather than a sarcastic response to every thread you disagree with... :? Huh? I do agree with him because he is intelligent and his observations are a...
