just contact any freight forwarder and they can walk you through what they can do for you. Or call DHL as they will do general freight too, albeit slightly higher priced.

dude, what do you expect from chinese roast pork (siew yoke) like you mentioned? It's all fat! Would be the same in any restaurant mate. It's what you ordered. If you want the meat you should have ordered BBQ pork (char siew).

technically legal to surf but illegal to store the porn on your computer hard drive and media. "Mass impact porn sites" like playboy, penthouse and the like are filtered by the local ISPs.

jack: I guess it all depends on how much time you have. If you have all the time in the world, why not get quotes from all the movers and decide which one you're most comfortable with based on your budget? As to the level of service, I must say understanding your own expectations on the service leve...

much depends if your company is paying for it. Movers are graded like 5 star, 4 star, and 3 star hotels. If your company is paying, why not go for the best? If you're paying, then it's a different story, but don't expect 5 star level of service for 3 star price. All will serve your basic transportat...

Hard to tell without knowing what you eat, how much you eat, and what your lifestyle is. i used to have irritable bowel syndrome. This was traced to a food allergy from too much pineapple juice, as I realised that everytime I consume pineapple juice on an empty stomach, it'd floor me. There is proba...

I am a good initator but hardly follow through. I'm trying to get better to see things through to completion through taking affirmative action.

I'd be interested

damselfly and Ksl: she's a control freak.Everything has to be done her way. The way the floor is swept, dishes, laundry. I've offered to help and she says she rather do it herself cos' she ends up doing it all over again because it's not done her way. Which is why we've had a maid and that didn't wo...

ksl, thanks for pouring your emotion into that one. That kinda speaks to me cos' I'm contemplating going through a divorce to go from 'marriedwithkids' to 'divorcedwithkids'. I've married my wife six yrs ago after going out for 9 yrs cos' it seemed like the 'right' thing to do, she being a high scho...

I'm in the business of shipping personal effects, and would suggest you try the post office if your boxes are not too heavy, as there is usually a minimum charge if you do shipping, and your volume is way below the 'miniumum' such that even if you shipped 20 boxes, your charge will be the same as th...

definitely post office if not time sensitive.

depending on your spending habits. 125k can go helluva long way here! Assuming you don't get a car, and get a place near the office, you will save a lot on the largest source of indirect taxation- cars. Your after-tax dollars will be comparably higher than what you will have in Australia. Ask your p...

Palamon, I am from the relocation industry. Have worked many years in leading moving and relocation companies in senior sales and marketing roles. You must note that the industry does not place a premium on a degree or MBA. It's one of the few which doesn't as the business is still very traditional,...

I beg to differ with "marriedwithkids" that "$9k a month will easily place you into the top 10% of income earners in Singapore" I earn $18K a month as a Director but am sure I am not in the top 10%. SGEduBeliever, if your package does not include the kid's education and housing. You may have to liv...

ADT is basically a good product. Am happy to say I've been a client of ADT for the past 5 years. You just need to know to push the right buttons to sell the benefits to the right clients, and not features. Study which group of people would make up the bulk of your prospective clients. I suspect it w...
