Woodlands

I have lived in Woodlands area for 3 months now and at first I thought it was a long way from anything, but as an expat a taxi ride to here from the city is around $10. There are GREAT advantages to the woodlands area. 1) Breezes. I get amazing breezes from Johor from my Condo 2) Views. I have mount...

coffee

I brought my stove top espresso maker with me from Melbourne and the coffee beans so I can be my own barista at home. Nothing like it.

Cradle Cap

What is good for cradle cap is to mix a little honey with some baby moisteriser. The honey acts to hold the moisture on the skin to promote healing and thus the cradle cap will eventually clear up. Same if anyone has really dry patches of skin or eczema :)

Cycling in Singapore

After being an expat in Kuala Lumpur AND a cyclist I soon worked out the KL is one of the most dangerous places for a cyclist. Not only is there no infrastructure for bikes, but the chances of being killed by motorists was high. Im about to relocate to Singapore and want to know if cycling is easier...

Where to buy decent pillows??

Looking for decent pillows. I find the pillows in S.E.Asia to be to high and bulky. Does anyone know where to buy flatter, softer pillows in Singapore?

Agents Pretending to be prospective Flatmates

Maybe Im new to this but as Im an expat who is moving to Singapore soon I register on the flatmates wanted site here stating I was looking to share a Condo.

boycotting indo products

I cant see a boycott of Indo products/and services taking place in Singapore. The 1000's of maids would also have to go home and you guys would have to do your slave jobs yourselves.

maids

:-| No Lah, I dont see it in humourous ways. Someone has to give maids a voice and by just making jokes about it also displays the level of worth they have. :D Crikey!

Maids

Crikey! Your response to my statements with: "THIS IS SINGAPORE PLEASE REMEMBER THIS", is really arrogant of you. NO my friend, it is HUMAN RIGHT ISSUE!!! Then you go on to compare buying a car to employing a maid. How very sad you see a maid as nothing but a piece of machinery. If you employ a maid...

Saving money

Expat life seems to have a surreal edge to it. Look, to save money, just live as if you would live at home. In Australia I dont swan around taking cabs all the time, I take the train. I dont eat in Hawker bars all the time at home either (or the equivalent) That would only make you fat. They taste g...
