If I were to sell our chicken hut here in the U.K, I still will not be able to afford a private condo in District 11. District 9, 10 & 11 is the heart of the city centre, trying to buy a property in these areas is like trying to buy a property in the middle of London. The further you go from city ce...

20th century modern chinese paintings

Is there anyone else who is interested in Chinese paintings? I have a very small collection of eight paintings – early works 1950s / 1960s of local SEA listed artists and I would like to add a couple of Chinese paintings in my collection. My interest is the 20th Century modern Chinese paintings. Any...

Wow Banana, your Singlish is so solid and powerful one! I wish my English is as solid as your Singlish. Joking aside, why would anyone who is a qualified English teacher and a native speaker want to work in a local school for MOE when the international schools in Singapore offer better salary, bette...

Jpatokal,

Could you provide the link on ICA website that says it is okay to have dual nationality beyond 21 years old?

How well do you know him? Do you know his real name, home address, telephone number and email address? If you know these, you can easily run verification checks on him online using Google search. If you type in his name and co. name in Google search, what info do you get? - If he is indeed the CEO (...

The irony is Eric chooses the wrong person to be sarcastic to, he probably thinks I’m new to ECommerce and don’t have a clue what I’m talking about. When in actual fact, we have been running a small, niche website for years and most of our orders came from overseas. 8-) There is no point getting ups...

I'm curious as to why you're keen to support her website. Surely, there must be hundreds of shops and pushcarts out there selling greeting cards, bags, clothing, belts and some accessories

When did I say that? My family in Singapore (like most S'poreans) work extremely long hours and after work they do not have the inclination nor the energy to shop online let alone go to Orchard Road to do their shopping. Thats what I meant. And they are extremely reluctant to use their credit cards ...

Hi auddiejane I came across a website that may be of interest to you www.singaporewebsites.com - a directory of useful and interesting websites in Singapore. Personally, I don't think it is a good idea to start an EBusiness targeting the local market. Online fraud is stopping the majority of Singapo...

I think you done the right thing by quitting WIMH, this board can be so negative at times and can really gets you down if you're not careful. In fact I think I should quit too, I hardly post anyway and my time is better spent elsewhere, so from now on, I will hang around the business forum. Looks li...

Sgal, please don’t put words into my mouth. I never said Asians are stupid, it was you who said that the Asian men are not as intelligent as the Caucasian. You forget that your brother, brother in law (if you have any) and your father are Singaporeans and therefore Asian too, so in a round about way...

Sgal obviously failed to realise that an Ang Moh will most likely dump her as soon as she opens her mouth.

MSN shopping is the shopping portal of the search engine MSN.com.sg, but it may be a bit too expensive for newbies. I managed to find only one more e-mall in Singapore called can.com.sg? Can't recommend one or the other as I have never use their services since I live overseas. One last tip : If you ...
