30/F -- First week in town!

[YellowBrickRoad]

Hey there, forum! 30/F, new to town, completely on my own, and would love to meet people for happy hours, lunch groups, weekend hang outs, sports watching and playing.

I literally just arrived this week, and realized it's the weekend, and I have no plans. Actually, I have no plans for any day yet, since I know no one. Back home in the States, I went out most nights with a wide variety of friends. I enjoy good drinks and good food, sports, movies, anything outdoors, live music. I'm hoping to do the same here.

So, if you're new to town too, or want to take pity on a poor, lonely American girl here on this island, and looking to fill a spot in your social crew, send me with a PM, or write back here. Many thanks...

Happy New Year, all

You will love Singapore. I am about to head away for the week on holiday but I will be back on 14.01.2013 if you want to catch up for a drink after work etc. I am a 33y/o f from NZ.

Hi Mel (?) from NZ! When I get enough posts to send you a PM, I'll forward you a note. Thanks, and enjoy your holiday.

Hey

I also arrived today!!! I start work on Monday so currently know no one and would be keen to go out for drinks tomorrow (sat) since it is the weekend!! I'm 30/F from London.

Let me know if you and anyone else would be up for some drinks.

Cheers
Lea

In the short term go for lunch or dinner in the small restaurants on Club street or at South Coast at MBS and you will find that other diners will engage you in conversation. Believe me

Hi, Lea and yellowbrick!

I am also pretty new to Singapore. Let me know if you want to grab drinks later or do something tomorrow. 30/f here.

Hopefully spk soon!

Thanks Akimbo - I will be in touch later, just struggling with the jet lag/time difference!! I will check out the FB page.

Thanks

Another newcomer in town: I'm Peter, 31/M from The Netherlands. I've arrived last week Sunday (needed some time with the jetlag too) and wish I had found this board before the weekend!

Even if my new colleagues have been so good to me since starting here last week, it would be great to meet up with people outside of work - even if next weekend.

30/f just arrived in sg! Free to meet anytime after office hours. Let me know

[YellowBrickRoad]

Sorry to not reply sooner! I was apartment hunting all weekend, and it was exhausting.

LKT, pharmMD, Casca01, tvenu, and chic_gal: anyone up for an after-work happy hour this week? We can meet centrally if you all are actually interested in doing something during the week.

Send me an email: [email protected], and hopefully I can set something up for all of us newbies and anyone else interested, too.

[Casca01]

Great idea! I will drop you a note soon. Just will be an interesting challenge to find a nice location for us newbies to meet
