To set up an online business, basically, there's 3 simple steps: 1) Find a niche market. (Enlist the help of Amazon and Ebay. Look at what most people are looking for) 2) Create an offer (You need a website. Create an irrestitable offer. You do not need tons of technical knowledge nowadays to create...

At Bedok Central, just a few shops further down NTUC on the right side (if you are facing the main entrance to NTUC), there is a shop selling games. They sell PSP slim at a remarkbly low price of $345. 4GB, Modified, 2 games etc. The shopkeeper was telling me "while stock last" and so if you want it...

I cannot believe that expat parents are even considering local schools!! then where are the intl schools going to get their students!! Do you know how expensive the capital expenses are to keep a school running?? I suggest you, as responsible parent, get a package that includes your child's educati...

Perhaps, we should agree on just English for this forum. If you used another language to communicate, the majority of the English speakers cannot add on in the topic and in the course of it, some precious opniions may be lost. And if we allowed other langauges to come in, very soon, there will be an...

The food that I love in Singapore but always cannot seem to find in other countries is none other than Chicken Rice!! I always miss the fantastic aroma of chicken rice whenever I travel overseas. Can some budding entrepreneur just start it somewhere else? I have been to a Singapore Chicken Rice Stal...

To me, Singapore is always the best. But once a while, you need to get out of this place to destress. For example, I am planning to move to Shanghai for 2 years just to have a new experience. However, no matter what, I will be back in Singapore. :=)

I have been using starhub and their customer service is excellent. Their customer service line, 1633, gets connected real fast to a customer service officer real fast as well. The reason why I chose starhub is because it offers a hubber discount if you subscribe to all 3 of its services (namely, bro...

Try Paris Silk at Holland Village. They offer great prices for electronics. Another well-known shop among Singaporeans is the Mega Discount Stall at Katong Mall (the one where Cold Storage is, opposite Katong Laksa).

Hope that helps.

Frankly, I would suggest Tampines, Simei or Pasir Ris cos of the following reasons: 1) These are public estates as compared to the houses nearer to Expo which are more expensive in nature and hence commands a highly rental. 2) If you wish to see the real Singapore, then Tampines, Simei or Pasir Ris ...

Try the Western Food at Old Airport Road Hawker Centre. The place has just been renovated and it is pretty much confortable now. Therefore, lots of people have flocked to the stall.

I am sure you guys will like it.

I certainly enjoy this constructive debate on the merits of the two cities. Haha. I made a mistake about the Oil Wealth. :-) It currently contributes only 6% to the GDP. Thanks for pointing out the error. As for the question if I am Lee Kuan Yew's relative, nope. But I believe the fellow who asked i...

Frankly, there is not much difference between Singapore and Hong Kong, minus the weather. That's about it. If you are talking about Service Standards, it depends on your luck. I have met nasty taxi drivers in Hong Kong, just like I have met nice sales personnel in Singapore. Therefore, the only big ...

In my opinin, Singapore is definitely much better than Dubai. Besides it being green and clean and more organised, it is situated in a less volatile region. Dubai is doing well now because of its oil wealth and that's why it is trying its best to reinvent its economy, but I believe it has overspent ...

This is an interesting post. Seriously, marriage itself is a calculated risk. Therefore, nationality should never play a part here, unless you are talking about countries that permit polygamy. In Singapore, we have the women's charter that protects the rights of the woman. So, have no fear. As for t...
