I read the PM and completely understand - sunday morning was very nice about it.

Maybe I should think about changing my profile name though to indicate that I'm a she - and not a he?

A friend recommended Smile Focus to me - which is in the Camden Medical centre on Orchard Blvd. I've only been for a check up - but my boyfriend had some pretty serious tooth pain and went there to get it sorted, which went well.

Hmm - censored, that'll teach me for using a full web address. :oops: I basically said that the term Jurong can be used to cover a very wide area - I work a 20 minute drive away from Jurong East MRT for example - but my company is still in 'Jurong'. So I would suggest checking out an online map serv...

URL CENSORED DUE TO COPYRIGHT ISSUES Until you pin point your offices location, working out a commute time will be tough. You also need to be aware of congestion - I think the poster above said 30-40 minutes commute to Jurong from East Coast? It can take me 30 mins to where I work from Tiong Bahru (...

I was in a similar boat to you. I had an allowance of 26 days in the UK - and the basic allowance I got here was 15 days, I'm lucky that my company gives an extra day for each year of service - and they credited me for the 3 years I'd worked in the UK - but 26 days down to 18 was pretty tough! Some ...

One Good Turn by Kate Atkinson Well written crime story, more clever than a lot of crime 'thrillers'. I read this in a rainy weekend in Phuket - perfect. This Book Will Save Your Life by AM Holmes Bought it mostly because of the cover - which is a picture of donuts. It's a little odd, about a very o...

I tried American Psycho, but I found it so absolutely horrible I gave up halfway through. It is much more detailed than the film, far more gruesome and sadistic - I hated it. The movie manages to make the violence ironic or funny, but the book is just vicious. Not sure everyone thought that - maybe ...

I used to play hockey with a VERY relaxed team back in the UK, and I had a bit of a look when I got here, but didn't find anything. I did bring my sticks with me - but I didn't think I'd be able to find a team that were bad enough for me to get a place - I used to be very much a social player. I'm a...

Are you planning to meet up and play for real - or just play on Scrabulous.com?

You should browse this and the other forums - if you are used to living lavishly and yours will be the only income then you should do your homework. If you try to get a place in a condo here then the rent alone will probably take up a very big percentage of your income...

I was looking through this month's issue of Cleo - and they review the best places to buy swimwear in Singapore. I think that New Urban Male was one (I always assumed they were a men only shop - but obviously not!) - and the other one was an Australian brand, can't remember the name. If you don't wa...

I use Off, it comes in a bright orange can - which works for me (I haven't been bitten when I've used it yet - and mosquitos absolutely love me).

I can't see why the one you have wouldn't be effective over here - but you might not be able to get hold of it that easily...

You could try the Great world city mall. It's obviously not just one shop - but it is all under one roof, which should minimise the wandering required. There are a lot of furniture shops in there - which are all pretty modern. If you decide to go for something a little bit more local you should try ...

Allied forces? Do you want them to be a team and to know each other - or are you specifically looking for Brits (including the empire countries), Americans, French, Italians and Russians?

Am I being too picky?

I know that I didn't post the original subject - but am I supposed to buy medical insurance to cover her - or some sort of liability or contents insurance to cover me?
