It's not unusual in Japan to see high-ranking officials (corporate, government) in the subway so they know what it's like for the average Takeshi . I LOL'ed when i read this. Not sure if we remember the famous Mah Bow Tan making the sweeping statement "Our transportation is world class and blah bla...

If they land in Singapore and come through immigration, yeah, they can. They did in this case. I'm not sure who told you they aren't interested in picking up deserters because they like to make examples out of them in order to get the message across. If they could figure out how to extradite them I...

I have a friend who just rented a place just 5mins walk from Novena MRT station. Rental is $4800/month (after incl. agent's fees). That should work, right? 5mins walk to MRT station. 2-4min wait for train 4min train ride. That's about 11-13mins? Downside? It's a 1+1 (1 master bedroom, 1 bathroom, 1 ...

I'm not doubting that the man was doing something dishonest and illegal. But don't mind if I play devil's advocate here and ask why he was so interesting in taking pictures of the room and a certain place on the table in particular? Singaporeans by nature are lazy bunch of buggers in their homes, so...

aargon, the LL will probably let you leave at 10 months but it will cost you 4 months rent to do so. Sounds like he's got you by the short & curlies! :( FARK! :mad: My TA with landlord is worded as such, i would advise all those who are looking to rent out, take note and amend the TA to reflect thi...

Iced water in a plastic cup at McDonald's and $1.28 bus fare!



Too bad i'm not eligible.

I'm Singaporean, but I have to rent as well because of some extraneous reasons I won't go into. My advice to people intending to rent, is always assume your LL is a money-grubbing POS @sshole, and work around that assumption. Locals tend to shy away from the blatant scare-tactics and made-up laws wi...

I LOL'ed in the office when i read this

Wow, impressive!

I'm totally lost when it comes to cameras and photography, but what kind of effect is it he used that gave that "toy store" effect?

Chao em, co khoe khong? Toi muon hoc Tieng Viet, lau lam kg co hoi noi roi. Cam on em!

我也能教你华语，有兴趣吗？

I have to brush up on my pronunciation and grammar for Vietnamese though.

AND, they all have a very high libido which, oddly enough, can be satisfied with... MONEY. Hahaha, reminds me of a conversation i heard in my office the other day with a caucasian and indian gent, both britons working in Singapore for about 3 years. ... C : "No mate, I definitely pick up more chick...

I've always heard Russian models were either Tennis players or ............. So Winnoe, did they bring tennis rackets with them? If not, I think you unwittingly hired a bunch of Russian hookers ;) :P :P Sadly, not they didn't have any sort of tennis paraphernalia on their person. What I feel really...

Can anyone tell how much an Asst. Professor make in singapore, on an average. I am talking about the tenure-track line for someone who completed PhD about 6 years ago at a reputed university, with postdoctoral/ independent research experience and excellent publication record. Not sure if this is us...

Any man who had been with around hookers for a bit can sniff a hooker out from over 100 metres. They dress, walk, talk, stand, sashay and general carry on completely different to women who havel not drunk the hooker koolaid. Know where I can get some of that koolaid? Would be a great party trick to...

If she said something like this just because a debt collector visited her few times it will rise eyebrows of any person who has at least a tidbit of common sense. Err - I think she was referring to her direct personal experience of being assaulted and how, now, she feels that she may have been at r...
