I have acquired a taste for local coffee that and the broad oily noodles with chili is my breakfast :-) my stomach doesn't always agree with my choices though.

I considered filing a complaint with Singapore Consumer Affairs but it doesn't take complaints over the phone or web but only in person. Hmmm, doesn't seem like complaints are eagerly embraced. otherwise they would be overwhelmed by complaints :D in my experience when you want something done in thi...

I had some dealings with Carlson Wagonlit before, thought they always were very good - could just send an email from some godforsaken place in China and they would quickly change the flights/hotel reservation according to my wishes - but Ok that was when flying for my old company

I thought it funny one time when I complained that a Chinese restaurant here in Singapore didn't have any English speaking staff and a local said but its a Chinese restaurant. I asked him: so if I go to a Mexican restaurant I must be able to speak Spanish? :???:

BTW always good to have a some backup software running regularly - I use Acronis which works flawlessly so far, for instance when I wanted to replace my boot drive I just did a clone of the drive with Acronis on a new drive, unplugged the old boot drive and presto I was up and running again on my ne...

Hence if i get a flight option from their search function i note the detail then call their customer service. They'll confirm the fare class with you and lead you by the hand through the booking process over the phone. BUT...... you are right, if they were clear on the website you wouldn't need thi...

zuji.com.sg

I would like to warn anybody who orders a flight ticket at Zuji. The reason for this is that they have a non-transparent way when to allow refunds. When you buy the ticket they do not clearly state whether the ticket is refundable or not, it all depends on what rate they have internally negotiated w...

I've gone for many years both in Sweden, Germany and here, I have come to the conclusion that it works a bit like when you crack your fingers - just a temporary respite but never actually curing anything. Therefore the last couple of years I just go and have a massage instead whenever it gets bad, s...

I have come to the point that as soon as I hear the word 'property' I just hang up, like an automatic reflex now. A bit annoying though when talking to somebody you know and he/she happens to mention property in some context - click.

I wouldn't even trust chiros' to do the neck cracking thingy...They aren't real doctors :P yeah I read in New Scientist a few months ago that for all what the Chiros promise it has never been scientifically proven that it helps going to a Chiro, on the contrary, if done wrong could cause serious da...

JR8, regardless of quality it will probably be better for you to buy the PC once you get to Germany for the simple reason that you will not really save any money. Hardware in Singapore is just marginally cheaper than in the west, probably due to difference in GST. If I were you and would just go to ...
