17k per month is crazy high rent imho Yeah, it definitely is. This guy started off with a high allowance because he had a few kids and the allowance was largely based on family size. He also came from Australia, where everyone has a big backyard and wouldn't come to Singapore if he had to change hi...

HDB flats are cheaper, but not as nice and don't have facilities like swimming pool, gym etc. Condos are more expensive but are often brand new and very nice. If you get an older condo (ie...

You should be fine meeting people and on the whole, Singapore isan easy place to live - safe, clean, excellent transport, good food. Are you also planning to work? I ask because if you're not married to your partner you'll need to work out your own employment pass etc. Other things you might want to...

Merry Christmas everyone! A quick joke to celebrate the festive season: When four of Santa's elves got sick, and the trainee elves did not produce the toys as fast as the regular ones, Santa was beginning to feel the pressure of being behind schedule. Then Mrs. Claus told Santa that her Mom was comi...

the best thing is to have him properly assessed for any developmental disorders by a certified psychologist in order to rule out what he is or isn't. I think this is sensible - he mightnoteven have any kindofdisorder, but could benefit from some behavioural strategies to make things easier (at scho...

Hi JR8, It was really interesting. How could he ask to talk with the person who would make the decision? Though mostly the company will pass it to the HR. Yes, it will need some balls to do it....I don't have that big...but I guess I have to start to try it. Aside to Cath, how can I know about the ...

I didn't realise that you had some local experience - that will help. A MNC may be more willing to recognise your overseas experience. I'd recommend approaching some recruitment agencies first. Check jobs.db and jobstreet.com. See which recruiters are active in your market for finance roles. Aproach...

I'm not sure how you figure a course/seminar on digital imaging falls into " religion, race or community, cause, or political end" . Do YOU see a connection? The wording is quite ambiguous isn't it? I would have taken it to mean any one of these: any seminar, any conference, any workshop, any gathe...
