Yes, If you are getting paid in Euros right enough, that's around $60K SGD a year, it'll be tight if you want a 1 bed apartment, but much easier if you have a room in a shared place! $5K a month is perfectly manageable if you have no dependants and keep your costs low. Thank you -- $60 K SGD is act...

The funding agency says they offer a minimum of 35 000 Euros -- which converted to Sg $ is a little over 46 000/year. Magna cum laude PhD eh? You might want to recheck your basic maths there! Out of interest which agency is paying you as an American in euros to work in Singapore? Hi! Thanks for you...

Hi! I am presently applying for a post-doc grant in Singapore and one of the things I need to submit with the application is a budget. The funding agency says they offer a minimum of 35 000 Euros -- which converted to Sg $ is a little over 46 000/year. I am wondering if this would be enough -- I'd p...

Hi! I know this is a long shot, but I am going to New York City for Christmas and was wondering if anyone tried and can recommend a restaurant where they serve Singaporean food. I looked on the internet and there is a Singaporean Cafe and quite a few Malay places plus a bunch of Chinese restaurants,...

Will it be strange if I sent an e-mail after all this time? I would say not at all, but just use your common sense to not leave the impression that you are contacting him after all these years just to have free accommodation during your next visit. A bit delicate situation. A no, that's not my inte...

Really, all this sounds like I've seen or read somewhere :???:[/quote] I don't know about that, but I can tell you how I felt when I got there. It felt as if I was there before -- sort of like deja vu experience -- I felt as if I visited the place before even if I never did. It was strange -- a good...

Hi!

Where to kids with anxiety problem get help in Singapore? I'm a graduate student in Psychology and I want to find out what resources are available in this area in Singapore. Thanks!

I don't know where to post this. I figured this might be a good place since this section of the forum is quite active. So, I visited Singapore in 1998 -- I know, a long time ago, but my memories of that visit are as vivid today as they were right after the trip. I was born and raised in Eastern Euro...

Hi! I'm a she. I actually still want a fellowship there. It was an unrelated question, I decided to drop.

i've changed my mind.

SE, thanks for your reply. I am aiming to be a Research Assistant, and like what you said, first and foremost I must fulfill their requirements. I am actually currently working as a Project Cooridnator as mention, we all sit in the same office though with RAs. Hey dude, sorry to be harsh, but your ...

How about if you take a look at getting even a short stint fellowship before you decide to move to Singapore? Psychology is one of the fields covered by the IMM Fellowship.

Hi! Well, it is interesting to hear your experiences. I graduated with Magna Cum Laude and Honors from a top uni here in the States (this was my BA in Psych). Now I'm doing a Phd in Psych. as well and I'm specializing in child anxiety. At the end of the day, I'll be done with my dissertation and get...

Hi! I'm glad you responded! Right now I am in a doctoral (PhD) program in Psychology. So, at the end of my training I will have a doctoral (not medical though) degree. So, if the title is what counts, i'll have it. My idea is to work in academic/university and conduct research there as part of a lab...
