Perhaps, you are still young, you still can enjoy hangout in pubs, discos, makan makan here and there, shopping here and there. But me unker already, most friends here also busy after work. When come out, mostly end up in the pub but drinking is a problem again.....some times curi curi drink till 3-4 mugs but must be super careful and alert on the road... Am have no less friends here cari makan too, just that we all spread north, east, south, west and working time cannot predict, always last minute got this and that....

Backhome, i have a big garden to play with, and you ask me downgrade to potted plants here at the corridor? That is so different and i dont have time to take care all this as me a frequent traveller...I only stay about 50% here and the rest is either backhome or outstation....so, the question to rent a whole unit of hdb is really out of the question. Let me fully settle all my properties backhome, then, may be will seriously start thinking whether to get a private condo or not.    Like that means, i will be more committed to grow my root deeper in sgp.

Petrol here is expensive leh...around S2.20 now....If you can get something llike RM1.90 across the strait, sure you will feel here is expensive...   Parking also not cheap leh. But save time lar if driving and more flexible.
