Hi, I'm 29/f and relocated here a year ago. I know it's a small country but I feel lost every now and then.
I would love to meet new people and friends. I'm a foodie and enjoy going out, watch movies, do some sport, drink coffee or wine --- whichever comes first doesn't matter.
I work as a consultant that actually helps expats settle into Singapore. Looking forward to hear from you!

Not a real good endorsement of your craft then, is it.

Irony. It's a bit like "goldey" and "bronzey".

Oh I know you guys are just poking fun at her words, but at first glance it looks mean, you know? Ah...who gives a damn, I do it too sometimes.
Well anyway cc, welcome to the forum.
PS: I wonder if OP will come back here again...

Maybe she's been using Apple maps on iOS6 all this time.

Most foreigners should be alright but certain groups are irony-impaired.

Hope you're able to find this forum again
Jokes apart, drop me a PM if you want to meet for a drink. I work and live centrally so easy on timings.

Sounds like a little bit of depression brought on by loneliness mixed with homesickness.

hang in there, maybe try to get out of the city centre more often!? visit east coast park, macritchie reservoir, go for a bike ride in punggol, jurong west, day trip to pulau ubin, try to do things and go places most expats typically do not do.. somehow things get easier!
29/F/
