The other security guards looked scared for their life and I don't blame them given the barrage of abuse you gave out. The guy was a lot smaller than you as well, I wonder whether you would have given the same treatment to someone your own size or bigger? Your a bit of an arrogant bully really, aren...

Margrt, I would ask you likewise the same question. I do not doubt that you have seen an angry exchange and some verbal abuse but can you be completely aware of all the events that contributed to such? I would say no since you would have had to view the circumstances leading to the eventual outburs...

EastCoastFun I happened to be there on Monday night and witnessed your sorry episode. Luckily for you and everyone else on this forum, I can give an exact account of what I and other residents saw and it differs somewhat from yours. What I witnessed was an extremely arrogant and aggressive person ab...

Security were very helpful indeed. They trawled through the CCTV for hours and had footage of me entering Katong shopping centre but nothing of the thief taking the buggy as there is no CCTV by the doctors on the 2nd level. The pram was a Phil & Ted's double buggy and I really rely on it because I h...

I wouldn't leave my child on there own for 1 second - the buggy is obviously different! I spoke to a lady in the coffee shop shortly after the incident, which is located across the hall from the doctors. I asked her if there was anyone in her cafe who was not a regular that morning as it was very qu...

Help - my $1500 buggy has just been stolen from Katong S/C

Hi, I was visiting my local doctor this morning at Katong shopping centre and left my Phil & Teds buggy outside in the hallway as there was no room in the surgery. When I returned to it after 10minutes, it had been stolen. The buggy costs $1500 new and I would be really grateful if anyone could let ...

I think it's safe to say that property prices are at their peak here. There are lot's of private condo construction going on at the moment and I have a good feeling that we will have an over supply in the market by the end of next year. The trouble is that the housing market has been in a slump here...

It all depends on how much housing allowance you are being offered on option 1. Prices are quite steep here and you could well find yourself spending in excess on $70,000 per year on a lease. I doubt your 20% increase on option 2 amounts to $70,000 and school for kids is not cheap either. So conside...

I would have to agree with that but only to a certain point. Line roles or line management roles are certainly longer hours with less reward.

I think the landlords are picking up the agents comm these days since there isn't that much around for <2.5k anymore unless your looking at a HDB.... There have been many posts on landlords holding back deposits, suggest you take a read through some of these as there are a few cases. I guess you nee...

One other thing you must have is a cheque book from your bank so you can issue the deposit. Get that sorted asap as we found a place within the first week of being here (before my husbands work pass was issued) and had to give the agent cash to secure it as we could open a bank a/c until the work pa...
