well, you've placed quite an amount of requisites. I think the right place for you could be Bali, if you haven't been there yet

Hi all of you asking! I was in search of a relaxing holiday and some nice snorkelling, that's why I chose to stay in KK, and my only trips were the daily boat rides to the islands. I flew with Air Asia, the fare wasn't that cheap because of CNY, around 400 S$. My mother was with me, so I chose Hyatt...

For a similar event, I would straightforwardly think of the Fullerton One, it offers food, drinks and a gorgeous view. The price might be an issue, however... Otherwise, but there would be no food over there, I love the terrace at the Helipad just on top The Central, on the river facing Clarke Quay....

Just been there during CNY. If I can suggest, pay a visit to the islands of Abdul Raman Marine Park, it's a group of 5 islands, among which I found the best for snorkelling being Sapi. The islands are only 10-15 mins boat ride from KK main jetty, the trip is only around 55 RM (2 ways) including taxe...

the good thing about the gym is that it is always open, from 7am to 10pm, every day of the year.

TOP URGENT! Mothertongue needed for english conversation

Hi native speakers! My mum is coming to Singapore for a couple of weeks and would like to find someone for a chat to improve her english during the long hours I will be at work. She is in her early sixties, but very active, a great traveller, still working and young inside. We live in the Far Far We...

It's almost 8 pm, I was supposed to join the gathering at Margarita's, but I'm still stuck in a teleconference with Italy (magic of the time zoning).

I can't contact Jazz as I don't have the number, so I publicly apologize for not showing up!

:oops: :x :(

re: wind in my hair

thanx for suggestions, I'll keep that in mind when applicable.
At the end it's always the same all over the world, miscommunication happens to ppl sharing the same mothertongue, too.

As for hygiene-wise, I guess it's a trade-off for getting cheap food. I've worked in big restaurants before and even their chefs have no qualms about cooking food they've accidentally dropped on the floor. There was a suspect on that, but I'd have preferred not to have confirmation!!! Never mind, m...

I'm new to Singapore and still haven't catched all habits, and there are some I will never be able to catch, especially when it comes to table manners. So far, I've been observing, and when in doubt, I've been asking, and the strategy proved to be winning all the times so far. However, I wish to mak...

[As for never seeing it anywhere else, the fact of the matter is it's also done in Malaysia and Thailand. :roll: I think it's a very practical method of eating when you're scooping up rice and bite size pieces of meat and vegetables into your mouth. Far more practical than a fork and knife when din...
