Hello TN Abroad, I'm American! I'm a 24 yr old who also moved here for her husband's job. I've lived here for about 14 months and know exactly how you feel. I know lots of Americans now, but when I first got here, they seemed scarce. If you'd like to go for coffee, drinks, movies or whatever, I'm do...

Hey TXinSingapore!

Sure! You can reach me at [email protected].

I work during the day so if it takes me a bit to respond, I'll write back ASAP!

Good luck on packing/moving/unpacking.

Hi there, I think you just described my life! I am 24 years old and live in Singapore with my husband who's also here for work. We have no kids and feel very out of the loop. EVERYONE has kids here! If you want to meet for coffee some time, let me know. Also, we've lived here for about a year and I ...

I'm here in Singapore from the US and I need to find jewelry to match my gown for an event I have coming up. I don't want to buy anything expensive as I will probably only wear it once or inevitably lose it. I need to find a shop that is reminiscent of Claire's back home. Ya know, the place where al...

1:00 sounds good. We're down for whatever as well. We know of a great Brazilian BBQ place, but know some other places also. Let's play it by ear. So are we just meeting at the MRT stop or somewhere close by? Here's my email address because I've heard of creepy people showing up to things they read o...

You should try Phytodefrisant by Phyto. The relaxing balm is the one I use and it really works. It's a little pricey: $30 for the small tube, but I never leave the house without it or I have nappy frizz. They sell it at John Little.

How about a late lunch on Sunday? We live in northern Singapore and there's not much around here. We usually travel a bit on the MRT to get anywhere. What kind of cuisine are you guys into? Are you thinking of doing Asian-style or finding American comfort food? We know some good places for either. W...

We be able to do a dinner on Saturday or a lunch on Sunday. What do you guys have in mind? We've been to a few restaurants around Singapore, but are always up to try new ones.

Hi, my husband and I are from Kansas and are in our mid-20's. He's been in Singapore for about a year and I just joined him in May. We'd love to find other couples to do things with.

Thank you guys for that tip. We went to the SPCA yesterday and found the sweetest puppy. You were right, there were so many cute dogs there. It was a little tricky to find with all of the construction going on in that area, but it was so worth it! Thanks again

Sofiabelle, I'd love to see the list of classes that you have, if you don't mind. I think it'd be fun to do something like that.

My husband and I recently moved to Singapore and are looking to buy a small dog. Pet stores seem very expensive. Does anyone have any advice?

I totally understand. I will be here for three years as my husband was sent here for work. I've yet to find a job so I sit at home a lot with nothing to do.

They say it gets better with time. (Being far away, I mean). I sure hope so!

You're not alone. I'm incredibly homesick as well. I've been here for about a month. It's still very overwhelming.
