Isn't that too generic a question? What sort of business?

erm... no i mean everyone thinks or at least i think it's better to work in singapore for number of reasons... but i havent heard of people saying... going to singapore to run a business, right?

also i know this singaporean guy he actually left singapore for the reason, singapore is being too stressful to live in and also he doesnt want his kids to become kiasu... and he told me in order to get a good job, they look at your results from secondary school... and he said he doesnt want his kids to have no life beside studying everyday... in short, the lifestyle is not so balance...

but afterall, i am not sure about all these... anyone can clarify?

I don't believe for one instance that Singapore is a conducive environment for work-life-balance, the entire social system is geared to being hyper competitive and laidback lifestyles are frowned upon by the vast majority.

I can't comment regarding businesses in Singapore but for working professionals, the career advancement and pay packets for them in Singapore far and away outstrip anything offered in Malaysia except for maybe the very top job positions.

ah somemore somemore... i heard eating out is actually cheaper than cooking at home?

The Singaporean residents in this forum would be in a better position to answer you.

basically i dont really understand the 2nd paragraph... but oh well... of course i am not comparing home cook food to 5 star hotel food huh...? that is not even close to comparable...

i wanted to ask like what's the average price for you to buy those raw ingredients to cook at home?

Don't take this the wrong way, but all your questions are way too generic and open ended.

You ask simple one sentence questions but all require long essays if to cover the reasonable or applicable possibilities and variables.

What do you like to cook, what's average, what raw ingredients, how much do you eat...

hmmmmmmmmmm... okokok... sorry sorry...

something like how much is the chicken, vege, meat, fish... priced at per kg? or how are they priced? and also rice?

eggs 10 biji $1.30 for the smallest one; dragon fruit 3 biji $1.50; fresh homemade fish balls 10 biji $2; one piece of chicken breast $2; a can of sardins $1.50; one packet of 5kg fragrant rice $10... do I sound like an auntie?

ericca I do cook for my girlfriend once a while (every weekend that is). Let's see... a dinner of bihun soup cost us around SG8 for 2 person.

... and that is every bowl of bihun was served with salmon fillet, 5 fishballs, an egg, lots of vege, and ikan bilis soup that I'd boiled for an hour hahaha I don't think anyone could make 2 bowls of bihun soup for RM10

okie... more examples... a dinner with one ABC soup, a can of sardines, and a plate of vege = $6... and that is more than enough for both of us; in fact normally we eat till wanna vomit =.=" However do note that I didn't factor in the cost of cooking gas, water, and electricity. Eating outside may be cheaper, but if compare the size of serving definitely cooking will be cheaper.

and i just love to cook with my girlfriend helping me... and seeing a smile on her face and a satisfied tummy is just something money can't buy.

If your family is big, then it is better to cook. It will save a lot.

yeah go there n be a sgrean,when the time i become a PM i will serang sg n take it back,n da first person i will kill is u...................

What childish nonsense.

Umm... you do know that Malaysia's military can't actually win any wars against any of it's neighbours right? In terms of numbers, armaments and training.

And you do know that Singapore's military is based on the Israeli Armed Forces and is tailored to blitz larger enemy numbers with overwhelming firepower, technology and tactics, right? Which is why Israel won a war in 7 days against the most powerful militaries (at that time) in the Middle East despite being vastly outnumbered and surrounded?

LOL, please bring it on.
you are one of the typical 'p*g' which ruin the whole malaysia.
otherwise, malaysia is developed as good as taiwan or sg now.

kunyit kampung must be one of those deluded fools who fantasize about Singapore being part of Malaysia. I suspect he is one of those ketuanan melayu types.

ignore idiots
anyway
u hav more then 3 ppl eating economical to cook
less then 3 not so

1 pot of white carrot soup + pork bones etc will cost about sgd10 wif a packet of yee mee enuf for 3 ppl to eat till vomit so each person $3-4 which is very cheap comapred to 1 eprson boil a pot of soup eat 3 days also cant finish

hey that sounds alright, the AMOUNT might sound not economical, but then look at the ingredients in it, definitely worth the price...

and couldnt agree more on the lovey cooking scene, i mean i love cooking too, not that cooking with someone but the feeling of cooking is great!!

my friend was telling me they eat the ZAP FAN for 3bucks only... but then i guess that's not that healthy though... actually i like to cook big pot of soup and have it for few days, the last day is the yummiest!!! and i cook for dinner then i will get to bring lunch to work on the next day too!!

anyone brings lunch to work or everyone eats out?

... too troublesome. Normally I eat outside for $2.50~2.80 for lunch.

I heard some people just eat homemade sandwich during lunch time to save money!
