well he had it coming doesn't he?

BTW, could you lend me 20k? i will definitively get you back the money very shortly... like in never

earplug are ok when you're alone Earplug are not a good solution when you live with someone you want to interact with, want to watch the TV,... Anyway you could try to reach nea.gov.sg to get some information, and maybe rent/buy a decibel meter to prove the construction site exceed the accepted nois...

go confront him at his office or at his place with wife and kids nearby.

price usually depends on how many area need to be treated. If her tummy was not just a "classic fat belly" but more of a huge one, maybe the doctor priced it as 2 area. Just tummy was 3k for me. Maybe this doctor is super famous, and super good, and will give you a fantastic result without any bruis...

check what kind of standard your TV is working with (Pal? Secam? NTSC?) If I'm not mistaken, Singapore is PAL. It's pretty difficult and expensive to tranform a signal from standard to another, so better leave your TV in UK if the standard is not good. You will have more urgent stuff to do that find...

999 per area seems to cheap to be true... You know that's it's still surgery, so better pay more, and have a good one with a clean and skilled doctor instead of chasing the cheaper one. I had tummy + chest in october 2009, I paid about 5k, but it came with 3*1h skin treatment to tone and shrink the ...

Married women are easy, they say yes or no, it is that simple, how you deal with that, and the trust of a woman, is your problem not mine. old men are even easier, they say "yes" or "yes how much do you want?" :p To be judgemental and to accuse others and also myself of being scum, you need to look...

one question, why one would want to import a 2008 mercedes from UK to Singapore? Is it a very special car or something?
It's just that if you don't know if it's interesting economically speaking, why do you even think about doing it in the first place? (I'm just curious)

usually the moving company will take care of the custom and have warehouse to store your stuff before your can move in

i feel the same than carteki. If the employer make the move to the maid, he's using his superior position to get sexual favor: it's just slavery. Will the girl give up living in with a caucasian family, who as i heard, are "better" employers than chinese or indian? Will she take the risk to lose her...

what really amaze me is the thighs of local girls. They are incredibly thin. I never saw so many girls with so thin thigh. I even didn't know it was possible to have so thin thigh when you're out of chidlhood. It really gives a strange visual feeling, almost unnatural, like if they don't have muscle...

problem is if you eat like locals, with your western appetite and your genetic heritage, you'll get fat easily! Eating rice 1 or 2 time a day with gravy can't make you fit.
I dropped the rice 2 weeks ago: -4 kilos already and counting...

forget about MRT if you plan to live near the coast line of East Coast. You'll have to rely on Bus and Taxi. In the last 5 month on East Coast i think i took MRT like 4 or 5 times. I live near Parkway Parade (big mall), so they're a lot of bus line around, which still make it pretty convenient to go...

a child playing with food other people may buy is everybody business. It's the kind of stuff child should learn from their parents: food is not a toy, respect it. And it's not even YOUR food, this is the shop's food and eventually other customers food. Double fault. What about next you buy tomatoes,...

the camera of the 3G iphone was ok but not that good: impossible to do a decent macro... I hope they really improved it
If you look a little bit on the net you'll find cheap soft to create your own ringtone for the iphone, from any mp3.
