What's excitement? Well, different people will have different ways of interpretation. But I have to agreed that in general, Sinagaporeans are boring lots. I think it's the environment. Part of it is that there is a certain "fear" to express ourselves freely. An invisible force that restrict our...

Totally agreed. I had numerous experience with them after I was retrenched. Most were more interested for you to get into the company for them to earn a commission. Otherwise, you will be just another "product" that they try to sell to their clients. Of course, there are a few good ones but you...

This thread caught my attention. Have to agree with TS that I have seen many non-singaporeans are hired to help out at food stalls. I was at the "Cha Can Ting" @ ECP. To my "surpirse", 90% of the waiteresses are from China. Pardon me if I do not know the real situation. I am wondering if our...

Re: Thailand Got It's Red Shirts, Yellow Shirts, now even Blue Shirts. S'pore Got Wha Wrong, SG has its own Tee-shirt too...it's called the "kangeroo" Tees. However, wear it at ur own risks.

I would prefer my wife to be in apron with nothing beneath :D

Do not be fooled by the advertisments and the TV show recently. Engineering isn't a very glamourous job for most. Reparing machines and "looking after" equipments are pretty boring jobs. Even in so called R and D department, > 80% of the engineers do not involve in research but more on...

What is the average pay for a BG in Singapore? I know a CO (MAJ) in a battlion can draw about S$6K on average. So I guess for BG, which is divisional level should be getting more than $20K a month. Any one has any idea?

No wonder there's a thread that say women in SG expect their partner to earn at least $4000 per month to even considered to be financially stable. Well, for these young women, I am afraid that amount will not be possible. They will probably demand their partners to earn at least $10k per month.

Totally agreed. If we are to benchmarked against these, might as well buy ETFs, we dun have to pay millions to employ those "experts" to help allocate our limited resources. ETFs have the lowest costs to invest as most of the hardwork and analysis are done by the publishers of the Indices.

Not before getting a fuck real early :D

A note on property but I am not an expert here. For disclaimer, I gathered my opinions from seminars on properties and landbanking. It's purely my own observations no extensive research done. The fundamental of determining the price of your property, sadly, is purely preception of people...

Agreed with your observation. If our educational system and scholar scheme have been effective as touted by the Gov, we would not need to have external people to run our state-funded corporations. These scholars aren't supposed to be groomed to be in the helms? It's a total failure that there...

If you wanna to know how serious is this downturn, read this news: Top Japan electronics companies see red Japan's electronics industry, a key driver for the country's economy, is facing the biggest crisis since 2002—and possibly its biggest shock ever.Seven of Japan's nine leading...

Very good speech by Mr Low. I was having some doubts on his abilities recently when I din get to read or see him in action much after the election. Thought he has mellowed a lot. This sitting has changed my opinion on him again. His argument is logical although his English is not as expressive...

My opinion is that Minimum Wage if used properly can be a very effective tool to combat the increasing number of Singaporeans living below the poverty line. There are pros and cons, just like fire. But I am sure given our "smart and capable" leaders, a compromise could be found. It has to right...

If HK is losing big time, what about our GIC, Temasek and MAS? It will be pretty hard to believe that we are safe from any losses when almost the whole world are not doing well in their investments. Any idea, any one? Any official statement?

Happy Niu Year every one. That's not exactly shocking news on the 1st day of Cow year amid a crazy last year. Nonetheless, I am quite disappointed in SG girls placing so much emphasis on material comfort. I'm earning less than 4K per month and I dun think I will get any higher for the next...

Agree. Most of my foreign friends and colleagues said that it's a pity that the gov transformed very unique places into "modern" outlets. Worse, they find that SG is merely a country with a lot of malls, nothing special. What they like is more places like the southern ridge, natural stuffs or...

I read in the papers last week that in Korea, the annual salary of a garbage collector is about $40K, which is a lot even in Korea. Many graduates will actually apply for these so-called "lowly" jobs (in SG terms) because it will guarantee higher starting pay and stable employment. Well, if...

I learnt this when I'm in sec school... Q: How are you? A: I am fine/not well/feeling great (all acceptable answers) Q: How to you do? A: I am doing fine/well/great/etc "Good" in this 2 instances doesn't really translate to anything meaningful. My English teacher told the class that...
