well let these ppl stay in Msia then... my take is simple..... they think MY is better than SG then let them stay in MY...
I used to think SG as a place that is like... no nice food... no life... pressure cooker environment...
However after I start working in SG, i feel thankful and a bit pityful for the ppl in Msia...
Food? There's lots of nice restaurants at upper east coast road... I've still haven't tried all of them.. However Werner's OVen, the CheeseCake Shop stands out for me. Ang Mo Kio mee hoon crab soup stands out for me as well... And don't forget the pork ribs at Tony Romas!!
No life? You tell me one thing that's in MY that is not in SG. Okay probably the mamak that opens at night? One thing i like about SG is the no smokiing thingy actually works at pubs/bars. I can enjoy nice band playing at the pubs (I recommend Timbre, Wala Wala, Balaclava - the band on friday night is good) without the smoke smell!! And these places aren't that expensive... if you don't convert that is...
People? This is perhaps the most plus thing about SG. However really depends from individual to individual ... for myself I feel that working and meeting people from around the world is somewhat one of the best things SG has to offer. By just talking to them I've learnt a lot. A lot as in their culture, the way they live and so on. I soon realise there's a very different life out there other than staying in a country like Msia.
Advice to all.. don't be narrow minded... even if you want to and like to stay in Msia... have a go at other countries (not only SG) for a few years and then go back... saving money is one thing however, the experience will be priceless.
Havent tried tony roma's ribs but ive tried their steaks and its ok. Value for money steaks i would goto botak jones, they have steaks that are priced reasonably. Tried the ribs at the newly opened TGI friday and australian outback steakhouse, the outback was better since TGI fridays ribs are coated with sickly sweet sauce like hoisin sauce. I actually prefer my ribs without the sweet sauce, more like dry rub.
Tried the angus steak house which ppl say is quite good. Its like a mix of japanese/european decor, one thing i can note the steak are extremely tender, almost melt in your mouth, the waygu steak i tried wasnt as good as i had expected compared to their normal steaks. Btw, if you get the course meal, its quite filling eventhough your steak is around 200-300gm.
Im still looking for a steakhouse which serves a real porterhouse steak.
Anybody here tried mortons which is said to have the best steaks in singapore. I'm planning to try it but its rather expensive at around 100++ per head for the steak alone.

What does my residence status have anything to do with my response to your baseless postings in this thread? But if it humours you, I have lived in Singapore for an extended period of time in the past and still have a fair bit of business dealings with Singapore based clients. Heck, I even own assets in Singapore.
Boring place, etc are all stereotypical remarks that have been made ad nauseum in thread - there is no need for another such idiotic posting.
Likewise, going along the your suggested vein, why are you posting crappy remarks in a thread when you are not working or residing in Singapore?
Is there a rule that states non-Singapore residents cannot post in a Working Life in Singapore thread?
What I mock are your pathetic attempts at trolling with moronic remarks about the perceived plainess of Singapore women and the over-used "boring life in Singapore" nonsense. The fact that you stated you had a relationship with a Singapore woman and have relatives in Singapore is a further slap on your own face when you can't even ascertain what is factual and what is hearsay about Singapore women and the Singapore lifestyle.
Added on March 8, 2010, 1:58 pmYah, for someone who claims to know people from Singapore, he sure can come out with a piece of thrash like Singapore is a boring place and try to excuse that by claiming it's from a friend.
Classic trollish behavior.
Take this to PM if you wish to.
Well, your credibility on a country and its affairs are usually intertwined with fact that you actually stay at that particular place. So providing info about an area that you dont live or stayed b4 make you as credible as asking a mexican about the property prospect in siberia.

but SG ticket sold till 7788 already, i wanna watch the concert again in SG coz according to China Press, they will expose more in other country and their shirts is a bit edited version de to comply the malaysian govmen, I see the Taiwan stage is even better, but the concert ticket can only be bought at Taiwan it self
, or else i sure fly to Taiwan watch
Dont they have the "welcome to taiwan" advertisement for this year? One could score on a good deal on travel packages. If say i and a fren would like to backpack to taiwan, since the medium there is chinese, would there be any problems with language, say like japan, france or italy where the locals dont like to or dont know english?
