Just arrived in SG about 3 weeks ago from Chicago. Compared to Chicago, public transportation is about the same. But that's US public transportation, which I think is pretty bad in general. The only real thing that is good about SG public transportation is that it's relatively cheap. However, compa...

they only cater for SCs and PRs mostly and if you are an EP holder you have to have a minimum annual income, but they also require you to have at least 6mos valid pass (one time the agent told me i have to have at least 1 year valid pass...). otherwise you will be denied. i have been declined by HSB...

our old landlord took 600 from our deposit. we really didnt break anything just normal wear and tear after staying for 2 years, but she insisted we did. basing on my friends' experience also, i think there's a 50/50 chance it will happen well guess what, that money they take from you for fixing/repl...

tried the Dunkin Donuts in ION last weekend. is it me or does it taste like a toned down version of DD? to me it just tastes the same as jco or donut factory...

just ask them if you can. from my experience some are quite okay with it. plus with the current market, ive even seen ads saying that they allow multiple tenants even up to 12 on a 3br flat! some agents can even help you find roomies just dont sublet in secret as it will be a breach of contract and ...

you can try looking for condos around balestier road

been here for almost 3 years, here are some shocks i've had: (no offense to anyone) - hawker/foodcourt utensils doesnt seem clean. we saw an auntie wipe the table then wipe our plates and utensils with the same rag before serving. we just laughed it off. so much for hygiene... - some men rinsing the...
