Buying property should be based on mathematics and not opinions. My opinion anyway :wink: For example: If you are a PR paying rent of $2k a month and planning to stay for 5 years, your $120k housing outlay is enough for a 20% downpayment on a $600k HDB. If you sell when you leave, even if the marke...

So the baby bonus isn't working? My first child was born a couple weeks ago and it's crazy how much it cost. Why do medical benefits here not cover medical costs of having a baby? It seems most of my local coworkers start their families when they are in their upper 30's and tend to only have one chi...

What is with the rule that you cannot buy an HDB if you own property overseas? I would be forced to take a big loss on my U.S. property in order to buy here. I prefer to keep it rented out and hold out with the hope of an eventual market rebound. I hate wasting money on overpriced rent. I would love...

I have been trying to tolerate this behavior by brushing it off as Singapore culture but it has been getting to me lately. I can't believe the National Courtesy Campaign has been around for over 30 years and it's still this bad. Can't they teach basic courtesy in schools? How can the government expe...

Sorry to disappoint but my sensei Chris Farley didn't teach me any of those ninjitsu moves!

4 months in the U.S. hasn't been too good for my health. I don't know if I can still climb! I don't think I should have any problems drinking though!

Is this thread still going? I'm finally back after 4 months away. I'll see you guys this weekend! I just need to get through the work week first

I noticed bisc13uit is a fellow Oregonian from Portland. Looks like you guys have found my replacement while I'm stuck back in Oregon for the next few months!

Hey. I'll be there and will be bringing sglover! He can't wait to meet you mauvecloud!





Okok.. just lurking.. just jealous I don't get to go. I'm trapped in my hotel room due to freezing rain and icy roads outside. I'll be there in spirit though.. one week down 15 to go!

Yep. Still using the same email addy. Send me some pics! I still need the group pic from the Henderson walk!

Just made it to my hotel after traveling for what feels like forever. It sucks having to be away for four months. Don't have too much fun without me! I'll be back soon! Keep me updated on all your fun outings!

Vivo sounds the best. We can take the train over to Sentosa. Mauvecloud can plan the meet up point! I'm not familiar with Sentosa at all.

Mauvecloud? You add Dilgoh to your list? I think there might be a couple people on our guest lists that aren't showing up.

Wow! This thread has been dead recently. I've been kind of busy since I only have a few days left in Singapore before I leave on Sunday. So the next meet up is still in development. These are the details so far: Saturday Sentosa Splash Date: Dec. 5th, 2009 Time: TBD - anywhere from 4pm-7pm depending...

Hey Nakatago,

You might want to post a new thread under Events,Gatherings,Making Friends. We will probably get more interested people since our thread title scares some people away and, of course, the fact that it's under the 30's club.


Steve

I'll be there! Should we meet in a group at Buona Vista MRT then head over there together on the bus?
