You are very stupid. If Australia or NZ is 50 years behind Singapore in terms of technology, I won't be using the internet replying your post now. When was internet becoming commerically available - early 90s? Australia though pales in comparison to US, have had produced 10 nobel prize...

I'm moving to contracting, won't enjoy such perks. Also, I'm not in Senior Mgt yet.

Difficult to implement la. Gov has to decide what they want - they should fire all the English teachers , replace them with the native speaking teachers, either adopt the American English or the Queen's English so the next breed of Sporeans can speak proper English confidently. No point telling...

PLS la, S'pore Education is the best in the world because LKY say so? Its good but definitely not the best, not even in top.10, thats why so many Sporeans pick up hideous English skills that no one understand other than themselves. Everyone is laughing at us, even the mainland Chinese. (at...

I'm not sure which destinated country you are moving. I don't think I ever want to pick up or master Aussie accent even I'm living here. Firstly, there's 3 type of broad speaking Aussie accents here so its hard to follow a unified accent. Also, some of them sound horrible, I guess I'm...

Smart academically doesn't not equate to smart in life. How many of these smart Sporeans on scholarship to top US universities make it big as entreprenuer or academic? Has any Sporeans won any nobel prize - not that I know. There are quite a few smart Aussies/ABCs got Rhodes scholarship to...

Aiya, not surprising la. Australia is a very good place to live in, but living cost has risen quite a lot the last few years. Also, young Aussies and Kiwis want to see the world and America opportunity is endless, make sense to move them for a number of years. American has 50+ states to...

i've been in the mood of job hunting recently thus summarise my views the job hunting process in SG vs Aus. I'm talking about a middle management role in this instance (banking) SG --- - Interview questions tend to gear towards technical / know-how knowledge than behaviour -...

I have always suspect the Westpac CEO is a male underneath his/her skirts. Anyway, she belongs to the boy's club now. It is the old-money old old boy's club that do not like asians, but they must be hating themselves playing second fiddles to China mainlanders. B] Of course, Without China...

Congrats! My 2 years is coming up soon but still don't see the need to apply for citizenship especially you will get fine if you missed the election voting. The only benefit I see if if you are furthering your studies then you could apply for fee help thru the government which generally only...

Those in high management will sometimes not treat you as equal. Not surprising, they look down on Poms, women, etc. Isn't it the same in Spore? Most MNCs hire Ang Mos(in some instances, ah nehs as Senior Mgt - they too don't treat Sporeans equally. I'm not sure about women though, but if...

aiya, Singapore army training is nowhere close to 1st world military training. US don't need them.

Also, no $3 Char Kuay Teow and chicken rice.

Yes if u are after the sarong party girl type, the new generation of PRCs are like that, u see them crowd around the guccis, LVs boutique are high maintenance type. Not all japs are this way, in fact many of them are quite cost conscious, they share lodging and rely on public transports to...

Yea, and the Chinese are very competitive when it comes to academic and running a business . Once a PRC told me the education system in OZ is substandard and easy comparing to China. A lot of small and medium size businesses here in Sydney are run by Chinese(to some extend,koreans), including...

Na..Japs have better class , they'll not PRCs. They prefer whites because of the social system in the Japanese society where women are treated as lower class; and they can also pick up better English and prefer to be treated with respect and romance. No comments about Korean.

Koreans u can find them in Strathfield, Campsie and Pitt Street in the city (where most of the korean restaurants are based). I'm old alr..don't know still can cheong or not..haha ....well let me know.

Go to The Gallery mall in the city, they tend to hang around there's as there's specialist Japanese shops there. Otherwise u can find them mostly in North Shore eg. Lane Cove, Northbridge & Crows Nest or Bondi area. There's probably more Japs in Brisbane/Gold Coast area, and of course in...

Sporeans can be a Chinese, Malay or Indian, though majority are Chinese. Of course we Singaporeans are still Chinese ethic, and there's nothing to shame about just like Obama is a black President. Mainland Chinese are already the next generation Americans with big spending power, don't...
