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

I'm not having it. Our agent is the company one and he is creaming off every expat they bring in and doing nothing whilst the other side think we'll either live like tinkers or pay through the nose. Not bloody likely. He actually said when we pointed an identical house on the market since last summ...

Hi, I have 4 adjoined landed properties adjacent my house. They all put their washing machines and driers in their back yards directly under my bedroom. At 5 am their damn maids are already loading up (not blaming the maids, pretty sure its their power-crazed employers/exploiters who are sanctionin...

To me that is a way of loosing, or were you joking? Looking at them straight in the eye and challenging them seems to work every time. Plus everything OSOD said below. Appeal to authority is just one of the many logical fallacies. Your example would fall under Ad Hominem. I guess the irony was that...

Singapore used to be a British Colony and it still has a strong civil service mentality influenced by the industrial revolution. If that doesn't explain everything then I'll try again. :) The boss knows how everything works. He sets up the work flow. He initiates the work. His team is set up below h...

I've learnt a few techniques over the years... maybe we can share some? 1. Never, ever, let logic get in the way of your argument. This is a western habit - thinking your argument has to be sound and logical for the other person to accept it. In Asia, not so. You can present and win the most illogi...

Hi Guys What does "PUB" mean? Is it some kind of brokerage from the housing agent. I was browsing on the websites for room and in most places I read "not inclusive of PUB." / "inclusive of PUB" Expecting early reply As was mentioned, PUB stands for the Public Utilities Board. That's the old name an...

Hello all, I am getting a serious pest control issue in my condo they do fogging and the surroundings are really clean and our house is pretty clean.

Many people I see around me just study for the seek of promotion....

Yeah, but have you read any of ksl's old posts? :-| If they can walk the line line without overstepping then more power to them. But as soon as they step outside the line and "solicit" in any way, they are history. And, as pointed out above, some of the info is good info. I don't mind when somebody...

I have had experience with viral warts. Go to the National Skin Centre. Warts are in your skin and kind of like grass, cuttig the leaf is only a temporary fix and the root has to be removed as well. I ended going for surgery to have the wart cut out. It was on the base of my feet (both of them) but ...

The funniest part of this joke is that the bosses who would find it funny are the bad bosses.

Dear Ozchick, What you can do is to look up "Strata Titles Board" in Singapore. They are the correct authority to adjucate disputes between neighbours in a condominium. The management corporation is constrained to acting within their authority and the help they can give you is very limited. You have...

Daytime touring: Shorts, tshirt, flip flops. Night time bar/club: jeans, loose cotton shirt, decent shoes. If you want to visit temples and the lot, make sure you cover up, just as a sign of respect. When you want to see some jungle sites, make sure you cover up most of your skin with thin cotton c...
