Re: Expats in Singapore - are you happy?

Are you glad you moved there? Yes, but thats probably because i lost my job in Dubai and this is better than being unemployed. Do you think you will stay there permanently, or at some point you will have had enough and move back home? Will move back home at some point. I'm from Sydney, it's the best...

Re: Dating situation for Indian males in Singapore

what's the best way to find a high quality Singaporean woman? Highly appreciate if somebody can contribute to my thread. This is one of those questions where if you have to ask, you'll never know. Tip number 1: talk to them. go to a bar (not OT) have a few drinks and start a conversation. Don't pre...

thats really a personal preference thing, i always prefer sight seeing on my own. Sydney's pretty big though and a lot of the sights are a long way away from each other, so if you chose to do it on your own then do plenty of research first.

Seeing happiness in the ones you love is the easiest way to find happiness for yourself.

So to find a "lifestyle that will constantly generate constant supply of happiness" you are best to focus on bringing happiness to your loved ones, rather than yourself.

The biggest attraction in NSW would be Sydney, the best time of year to go would be November to February so you can enjoy the beaches. Things to see in Sydney: Opera House Beaches. not just Bondi. day trip to the Blue Mountains, to see a bit of aussie bush land. The Harbour, take a ferry from the ci...

If you're doing the wakeboarding, wither go on Monday or very early Sunday morning (not likely if you're going to OT on Saturday) It gets really busy on Sunday and you might only get a couple of rides in an hour. I'd go Monday if i were you.
