Hi Aiwee, Thanks for your info. We will be out of Singapore at the end of this month until early Sept. However, $1400 per head is far beyond our budget. We are actually looking for a small sailing trip and try to keep the cost under $100 per pax. It looks the chance is slim. Maybe we should take the...

Where can we rent a boat for one day sailing? I contacted a sailing centre in Singapore but they always replied they were busy with training and asked me to wait. Finally I gave them up. Several of us just want to rent a boat for a weekend, would like to sail to somewhere and do kayaking, but we als...

How do expats survive here under the bloody rent? How many of us earn more than $12k per month and how many of us would like to spend over 1/4 of cash on a tiny flat or $1.5k on a tiny room? The question is whether it’s worth of spending that amount of cash on only rent..The salary here is much lowe...

Dont think Christmas is nice in Singapore except you want to take some photos in orchard road, but that seems all. Since you are here, why not escape to the nearby place Hong Kong? I had one Christmas in Hong Kong and felt that's more like Christmas. I often visit Hong Kong for work but still feel C...

Help, where are all the REAL Beach Partys gone too? Forget! I went to a Zoukout beach party in sentosa some time ago. It's an unforgettable bad experience kicking off by the terrible crowds, many are like kids for me, queuing to enter and ending up by watching a drunk girl dancing on a stage until ...

I was just corrected seriously by my local colleagues about the definition of a native English speaker. They deeply believe themselves native English speakers too, and no argument on this :D

I bought my racket and some balls recently, planning to start with tennis, just for exercise and fun. I would prefer to have a coach for 5-8 lessons before I can really play. I can book a court in my condo near east coast or go to the coach's court. The problem is I dont see the necessity to pay a h...

Re: St James Power House

I'm hoping to venture another visit to St James this Fri to Movida/Dragonfly at about 9.30pm. I wonder what's fun there at 9:30pm. I went there twice and really loved it! It was a bit too crowded but I still can take it. Everytime my friends met me there at about 12am, and the show started at about...

Re: Anyone sick of the Singapore shuffle?

Is it just me or do people walk really really slowly/aimlessly when there is a mass of human traffic? eg. Sundays on Orchard road, or anytime at Bugis MRT!!?? I love Singers, but what's with the zero human traffic rules!! hehe I can fully understand it. The island is small, not much to do here, so ...

In my experience, Singapore, Hong Kong, Japan are very similar regarding work-life balance :lol: In many western countries, work time is cl...
