Where to find *LIQUID* coffee flavourers in Singapore?

Hi all

Back in Australia I used to love Nestle Coffee-Mate *LIQUID* coffee flavourings. Please see below.

Is it possible to buy these anywhere in Singapore? All I can find is the powdered cr@p that tastes absolutely awful :(

I've only been here 6 weeks so far from Australia. After having to spend $13 for a glass of beer in a pub at Boat Quay I've decided to give my liver (and wallet) a break and adopt a healthier lifestyle. You will also get a shock if you order a coffee from any of the big chains. I'm used to paying AU...

Don't to death so many times on here, just live with it. You should hear what they say about Westerners!
Pot calling the kettle black. Maybe they should have a good hard look at themselves first. Hypocrites :P

Yeah, I have to say, Singaporeans are shocking on the roads. Changing lanes without indicating. Talking with a mobile phone stuck next to their ear. And hesitate for a second and you get blasted with their horns. I've noticed a trend. Selfishness and lack of consideration for others. Racing for the ...

Where to find office chairs?

Hi all

I know you can find office chairs from IKEA, but they seem a little on the cheap and nasty side. Does anywhere else sell office chairs? Maybe Courts? Harvey Norman don't seem to.

Thanks. "Only" serviced quarterly? That seems like very frequent servicing to me!

Where to find hardware supplies (screwdrivers)?

Sorry to sound so vague, but I've only been in Singapore about 4 weeks. Back home (Australia) we have huge hardware chains virtually everywhere eg Bunnings, Mitre 10 etc, where you can buy hardware items, tools, etc. Is there any equivalent here in Singapore? I need a set of screwdrivers and don't k...

Servicing of air conditioning - legal requirements

Hi everybody This Monday I take handover of my condo for a period of 12 months and have signed the LOI and Tenancy Agreement. Can I ask if anybody knows what the law states as to how often each of the air conditioners have to be serviced? I know it is my responsibility to maintain the air conditione...

Hi nepenthe and thank you for your feedback. I am not overly concerned with landing an "expat" package. I realise that I would need a good 10-20 years experience to justify such an offer being made to me. All I am really after is a decent local salary given my skills and experience. All in all, from...

Wow! Thank you very much again Lisa M! I'm specifically in Data Networking and Security working primarily with Cisco equipment (switches, routers, firewalls), but I don't think that adds considerably to what you have already advised. Please let me say once again how much I appreciate your kind advic...

Thank you so much for your wise words Lisa M. You're a wealth of knowledge and I really appreciate you taking the time to pass on those details! I have no hesitations in accepting a contracting role at all. This wouldn't change the process of finding the job itself - I would still be looking at the ...

Thank you very much for your reply Lisa M. I note what you say about experience and competing with local talent, but I was hoping that a double degree (Commerce & Information Systems) from a well known university (University of Melbourne) along with a number of industry certifications (Cisco and oth...
