SINGAPORE EXPATS FORUM
Singapore Expat Forum and Message Board for Expats in Singapore & Expatriates Relocating to Singapore

I read Tuesdays With Morrie. Not my kind of thing but I can understand the appeal. Nicely written, likeable 2 main characters, but for me there was no unacknowledged truth revealed to me. I think a couple of lines sum up the entire thing:- "We all know we're going to die. We just don't believe it. I...

Personally, my answer would be a resounding No. I mean, what the hell for? So that (best case scenario) the 3rd pty can apologise profusely and say, "well if I'd only known I would have never etc etc" What difference would that really make? None. The issue is between the cheater and cheatee <-- made...

I've been a bit remiss in my reading of late but I'm going out to get one of the books suggested on this thread today. Thinking back, I'm pretty sure someone gave me a Mitch A book as a leaving present once. Thing is, because she was a happy clappy type person and wrote some sentimental & spiritual ...

Hi Fanny, where is your friend from - is she still in SG ?

Yes, she's still here. Although she doesn't know I'm scouting for dates on her behalf. My intent was to find a good place to go to meet older men. Why do you want to know where she's from?

I'm interested too but it looks like nobody is organising this!

Hey Rhino! - what was Air Babylon about? Wotcha Wind in my Hair! - I struggled with Haddon's Spot of Bother (I think that's the one you're referring to). After his first book, I was expecting something a little more endearing. I didn't get very far with it - it seems to be written so shallowly...lot...

Are there any readers in the forum? If so, can you recommend any good books you've read recently? I'm looking for something fairly light but intelligently written, for lounging-by-the-pool type reading. I know we all have different tastes but I thought it might be nice to have a book thread. We'll s...

Bah, expat-local relationships – what’s the big deal? They seemed to occur in every other country without anyone (except the more senior members of society) passing comment. Of course any relationship in which there’s a whopping great big age gap will raise a few eyebrows, but I feel the world has n...

The experiences you mentioned up-thread - were they in Singapore or elsewhere?

Well how immensely disappointing, I find myself none the wiser. I had hopes of greeting my aforementioned friend this weekend with news of untapped sources of smooth, suave, sophisticated, eligible bachelors of a certain age just waiting to be discovered at x, y, & z bars. My poor, shattered dreams....

Take your friend to FNDC! Hmm. Forgive my reticence but what's the current demographic of the FNDC? Not that she'd particularly mind having a toy-boy of course :lol: Going back to other comments, she certainly doesn't consider herself a failure and isn't only looking for a life partner. A bit of ro...

I have a friend who is a single expat in her early 40’s. She has generally loved being in Singapore but she recently commented that she worries she may never find a partner here, hence she’s thinking of returning home. I always assumed she was happy on her own (cos frankly, that’s the line she’s bee...

Zhoumulian – what you said above does indeed represent my thinking wrt fantasizing SMS - Not semantics but I do think we may be talking about different things….. Originally, when you talked about men not believing girls who say they never look at a crotch and wonder, I took that to mean that you bel...

Ahh well, you guys don’t see my point of view. Nevermind, like I said, we’re all different. Yes, the old weight-loss thing is coming along brilliantly, thanks for mentioning. I’m going for another 2kg this week. I’m sure you’ll wish me luck. But I digress. Going back to the original question, I gues...

No worries, Mayamomi, we're all different and I do like to think I'm special :lol: :lol: :D I'd quite readily admit to fantasizing about men's bits if I ever did but the fact is, I don't. I fantasize about shagging specific guys but it's nothing to do with what I hope their crotch looks like. Are yo...
