I visited the NTUC branch at Toa Payoh & I saw that they have a brand named "Aussie Dream" which has organic Rice milk & organic Oat milk selling for $3.50 for a 1 litre carton. This is cheaper than the ones that used to sell for $5+
This is another organic option
Canada is indeed a nice place there's a good healthcare system & it's free if you are poor. This applies especially to senior citizens who don't need to work until they drop dead. For the old if they are infirmed they have various types of assisted living homes & not just old folks homes. For decades they have have had buildings codes that required that buildings be accessible to wheelchairs.
There's also plenty of businesses that offer senior citizen discounts. You can even attend the Univ of Alta for freeThe old are treated with respect unlike in Spore where the gov't sees them as a liability
The polys have also got placement programs to help student find jobs. Yes initially it might be difficult to find the same type of job she's doing in Spore but there alot of different jobs in Canada. Even if you have to start at entry level, the costs for housing, medical, cars,... is much lower than Spore. With "Canadian experience" she might have found something even better.Thanks. Actually what is rice and oat milk, is it worthwhile to drink rice milk when already eating brown rice and taking oat?
Sporeans have been brainwashed into thinking that you need a degree to make a decent living:(
You don't need a degree to get work in Canada. If you need training can go to one of their polys, can either do full-time or part-time courses at a very reasonable cost. Many of my friends did part-time as they wanted to "upgrade" their skills even though they already had jobs. This kiasu attitude is common among Sporeans who are new to Canada. It takes them time to relax & to realise that there is more to life than working
When I was in the hospital in Spore I met a nurse who went to work in Toronto because she saw that there was no future in Spore. Unfortunately she couldn't adjust to the cold climate. When you are older it becomes harder to adjust to a new place & culture. Pity because if she had gone to Vancouver I'm sure she would have liked it. It's got nice weather where it only rains instead of snowing & many oriental faces
It seems to me that your friend wasted her oppurtunity
However, my friend studied in Canada after secondary school and got Canadian degree so getting the PR is easy from what I heard. May be that is why she gave it up. She may have wasted the opportunity but I think she no regrets lah because after deciding not to go Canada and the visa expired a few years ago, she invested all her money into buying another two properties in Singapore and made good profits.

In Spore you even get to take out your CPF Or there's a property crash Will she be another victim of foreign talent abuse? It would probably be higher if he had lived
What is important in life
I don't think its just about money. In the 1st world you don't really need alot of $$$ because medical, housing, car, etc is very reasonable & people don't really want to be tied down with a home. Many prefer to be mobile so that they can go where the jobs are. Have even met Canadians who haven't been back to Canada for decades.
Having a Canadian passport opens more doors than a Spore passport. You can more easily work in America, Europe, Aust,... & even Spore
I've seen many of my ex-Sporeans friends who are now Australians & Canadians, they look much better than Sporeans of the same age. Probably due to more wear & tear in Spore from daily stress.
So your friend has 2 properties but what's going to happen in 10, 20, 30,... years time when she can't function without assistance
I know someone who had cancer & his medical was something like $200,000+
Even those with a million$ are leaving Spore
Ehh some people migrate to Canada for better education for their children, some for nature, some for lower cost of living, etc. For my friend, she is single, loves shopping and these are not applicable. A suitable level job is important to her and she told me it is difficult to get same level job in Canada even though she studied there (she has not worked there before). So she made the choice based on these reasons and she is smart to have made good profits in the two properties (she has sold one of them and rented out the other). As for future, from what i heard, it is not difficult to get PR again since she studied there, so overall, she has no loss.
Can't help you there because I personally don't have any sensitivity issues with calcium.
You asked about the benefits of drinking rice milk if you are already eating brown rice? You are probably destroying some of the brown rice nutrients when you cook it. Drinking rice milk is more nutritious because you are not using any heat.
Nuts are very good for the diet. However it's difficult to find the raw unsalted, unprocessed variety. After reading about the health benefits(good for heart) of Almonds in the August issue of the Life Extension pp 89-92, I will be switching from rice milk to Almond milk

Just remember to have small bills(10, 5,1 bills) for the taxi fare about RM$18 to RM$21. I always rounded the fare & let the cab driver keep the small change. Some are curious about the Impian Emas clinic as they have taken many Indonesians, Sporeans to this clinic. Others have got health problems & will ask you about the type & cost of treatment at the clinic. There are of course the crooks but if you avoid looking like a carrot head, they won't try anything funny
