My helper is married... I asked for a red packet on Chinese New Year and she looked shocked! Like, c'mon..... do I have to tell her everything?

And that woman.. she only gave me $20! Can you believe it? I took back the 2 oranges and cookies I gave her.

The Sentosa Resort & Spa (previously known as Beaufort) is pretty casual. I heard Pump Room at Clarke Quay does brunch but am not sure if they still have their free flow bubbly and beer. You can call and check. Kids are welcomed there as they can splash around the fountain outside. There's always pl...

if you feel it's difficult holding an empty cup until you exit at your next stop, or that taking an escalator up and down again is too much to ask, then... i don't even know how to complete this sentence... go litter? Why and how did you assume that holding on to a cup is *gasp* the most difficult t...

taxico, I don't believe in most of the things you've highlighted. What other countries are you comparing Singapore too? 1) You said: in singapore, despite having many many well placed rubbish bins (do you see how many??) and cleaners, it is dirtier than what i expect it to be. I can hardly find any ...

I suppose light cooking will be instant noodles, one pot meals. No deep frying, no bbqs, no steaks and chips.

If it's cooking for one versus eating out, i would say it's cheaper to eat out. And you get more variety. Lots of coffee shops (open air food stalls), food courts and cafes around!

You can invest in an EzyLink and that pays your MRT (trains) and all public buses fares (you can even purchase a happy meal from macca's with that!) It's easy to top up your card at any MRT station or bus interchange. Victoria Street is so central, it's easy to get to by bus from practically anywher...

You don't really have to give them a red packet as most of them have different meanings printed on them (Luck, Elderly B-day, New Year etc) . What I usually do is buy a money holder card and put my cash in it. I rather that than to give a wedding couple a happy new year red packet design! Plus it's ...

I have never seen grown men cry so much in public
