How to survive in Singapore? by kelly_middlenice

Hi everyone, I am a Vietnamese looking for a job in Singapore. However, I am just a fresh graduate with 6 months working experience in a multinational company. Although this job is desirable for many people in my city, I really want to gain ...

CherylT

Above budget is not realistic in my opinion - or at least I don't know anybody who manages to survive with that little. I don't think there are any sublet rooms left below S$600, or at least you (as a single woman) don't want to stay in such a hole. ... Read More

Anyone suffering from Hair Loss? by Rossa

Hi, anyone knows of a herbal treatment centre in S'pore? Nothing chemical, strictly herbal- not those expensive quacks! Losing hair-help!

DO NOT go to Yun Nan!!! The prices are exorbitant and there are no visible results. Not sure about Beijing but I haven't heard too much negative reviews on them, I think they might actually be effective but the price puts people off. The best is to ... Read More

Oh yeah and I'm not sure what your current situation is, but you need to decide on what mode of transport you'll be using. We have public transport - bus, train, taxi - or you can drive (using a rented car, I suppose). Taking the bus or train is ... Read More

I can help you with some of the issues because I'm a local in Singapore. It is pretty easy to find Halal food here because we have a large Muslim community. Don't worry about this at all!! What do you mean by "major social activities"? It ... Read More

You could try pamperedpettaxi.com! I know you probably weren't looking for a professional pet-boarding or pet-sitting service, but do try them! The owner is really friendly and experienced with animals, plus it's affordable too. She works with a lot ... Read More
