SINGAPORE EXPATS FORUM
Singapore Expat Forum and Message Board for Expats in Singapore & Expatriates Relocating to Singapore

My ex boss (I still work with him, but I'm a partner now so he can't bully me anymore) was a lot like the OP. He's a naturalized Singaporean, originally from another part of Asia. Although he is technically no longer my boss, he's still a misery to work with. My solution: I've been looking for anoth...

If you mean US dollars, I believe OCBC does.

And they think the way to get the government to live within its means is to prevent any additional revenue whatsoever. That is what is wrong with those nutjobs.

For vinyl, definitely check out the Adelphi mall, across the street from Funan. There are several stores that have a surprisingly decent selection.

My husband is on record, if Palin is elected in 2012, he'll renounce his US citizenship. :roll: He's not the only one. But if even the mainstream US media's usual softsoap treatment couldn't make her look palatable last year, that's not going to change by 2012. In fact, I think Obama's ace in the h...

When I first came to Singapore, London was the runner-up in terms of where I was going to move. (I'm American, was living in Paris but couldn't find a job there, and didn't want to go home just yet.) The deciding factor was that I found a job here before I found one there, but there were other reaso...

I tried American Psycho, but I found it so absolutely horrible I gave up halfway through. It is much more detailed than the film, far more gruesome and sadistic - I hated it. The movie manages to make the violence ironic or funny, but the book is just vicious. Not sure everyone thought that - maybe...

Another Yank checking in...I hear North American accents everywhere, but I haven't crossed paths with too many others who actually live here. In any case, I've lived overseas for five of the past six years (first Taiwan, later France, and here since April 08) and it looks like I'll be staying for at...

Purely anecdotal, but I work for a startup here which is in reasonably good shape. Two years in business (of which I've been on board for about a year and a half - since April 08) and counting!

I go to KL once a month or so. They always check you for a temperature at the airport.

My aunt and uncle used to have one, but that was ages ago. Sadly, very few of them now look like the one in the movie did. American cars of that era were about as durable as a cheap pair of sneakers.

But yes, the one in the movie was something else!
