.... to my old WNDC friends. We have moved back fine, been busy looking for an apartment to meet the high standards we got used to in Singapore and finally succeeded after looking at about 30 places. My new job starts on Monday. Hope everyone is well in SG and do stay in touch. My private email rema...

Hi

I was just about to post a similar question - anyone have any experience as to how things work in practice? I am hoping that in practice, if you give 2 months notice you may not have to pay up or maybe just loose your deposit? Anyone with any experience of this happening?
cheers

What a great idea! I think the island (and hopefully my liver) is definitely big enough for a second official night of drinking after WNDC. See you east coasters tonight. I also hope to be there, probably rock up on my new (but used!) motorbike and be drenched in rain water - and later on in beer p...

I can only echo the previous comments made here regarding road safety, attitude of drivers to cyclists, heat/humidity & the need for work shower etc. A lot depends on where you will be living/working, and if you can use the network of cycle paths etc. Otherwise it won't be much fun. As for the recr...

Chainsmoker and all, grrrrrr. nonono, nobody is picking on you - we all love you!!!! anyway, am checking flights now, but that time is looking busy, so probably no available fli...

Thanks Mr Bowling!

And Ms chain-smoker, I would love to join you guys for partying in HCM - not sure if I can make that date though. Who are you flying with and how much?

Hi

Am planning to go to VN pretty soon - any idea how long it takes to apply for a visa? Can I just go to the embassy and pick one up?
(am going as a tourist).

Ok we have a venue for this Thursday's East Coast Drinking Club. It's going to be at Blooie's Roadhouse Restaurant, 49 Jalan Tua Kong which is in Singlap. An excellent saloon wild west style bar with seating inside and out together with a pool table and ice cold beer. Don your sheriff's badge, roll...

sapphire wrote:Hiya Mango, thanks for posting this finally. I will definitely try to be there. So, which ferry terminal is this? TMFT?

i will also join.
need to go to changi point ferry terminal, near the end of loyang avenue in changi.
see you on sat, hopefully not as crappy weather as these days.

Wasn't someone suggesting Siglap last night? Seems like a good idea. Alternatively, there is this bar on the East Coast Road Corner in Katong, also a good venue. Anyway, good to see you all there, my collection of business cards has grown again and I am still waiting for some emails from anyone who ...

Hi Guys, see you all at 8pm tonight. Just ask the staff about WNDC, if you can't find us. We will be upstair, the stair is at the back of the bar. See you. so how waz last nite? sorri i couldnt go, was it good? who went? EVERYBODY and it was good and lively, though the venue was a bit noisy, so not...

Superb. Its a great place. =D> I'll see you all there. Theres a good BBQ place there too which I'll probably stop by at on the way. SS I'll PM you. You mean, Conker, you are thinking of having a BBQ there too? Actually, it would be a good idea to just meet for a BBQ rather than (only) drinks in the...

hi,

can anyone recommend a place for a PROPER thai massage? I'm not thinking of the naughty variety here, but a decent, strong massage to loosen my tense back and shoulder muscles.... too much office work

Thanks in advance.

Mikster, Do you know of a good place to purchase a kimono. I will be visiting Japan next year and am interested in acquiring one, eventually e...
