Online forum? I bet /k and lyn enuff oledi lol. I wanna limit my internet life now...

Tried to socialize with uncles and abangs at the mosque nearby. But its hard for me to get the topic since the malay here didn't have the same wavelength as Malaysian malay...

i wonder what kind of difference? sg meleis are more matured is it? hahaha. or they are way too westernized till cant speak a single word of melei

On an unrelated... well semi related note i suppose... LOL.

I've seen real life bangla strike 1st price before. There is hope for kuli like me.

The younger ones don't speak Malay very well and are more comfortable with English it seems. I'm not sure what constitutes 'Malay wavelength' as I'm no Malay myself, but then again I've not realised that people from my race have any particular 'wavelength' either. I work with all sorts - Chinese Singaporeans, dan lain lain Chinese, ang mohs, malays etc etc, and we seem to get along fine, and bitch about the same kinda crap (usually the economy, the government and the shitty food we just got for lunch, the MRT breakdowns and lately about pokemon go )

Perhaps you need to try mixing with people around your age group instead of limiting yourself to a particular demographic (I really meant to say race here, but don't want to offend, so do forgive me). Find a group with the same interests as you bah.

Lucky bastard

What happen to that bangla now?

flew back already. he paid the site supervisor around s$20k I think, hired few fella to protect him for a few days until he collect money and fly back own country.

thinking of taking masters here, couldnt find the fee for foreigner for NUS, can anybody advise?

LOL pay $20k for what?

hi all
anyone has mover contact to recommend(from Singapore move back to Johor)?

main complain i see is no friends
well...take it from samy vellu, if there is no frens, we make frens
when u were schooling, from primary to secondary to college or uni.
all ur frens were with u from day 1 till now?
no...u make new ones along the way...so make the effort to make new friends.
no-one taught you how to make friends when u were schooling, but now u forgot how to make friends?
if ur life only revolves around going to office then back facing 4 walls...it is ur fault for not having friends.
find a hobby and go online to find the interest group nearby and particpate
with that, you know people with the same interest which will help in small talk and take it from there.

lots of pokemon go players here?
if yes, maybe can organize a meetup at maybe a hot spot?

Working hours too siong. No time to find new friend

weekend then lol...
but true, if wanna make new friends,better to have activities in common,sing k pokemon go or whatever

I didn't really mind about language, since i'm able to converse in English as well...

Its just the topic itself it different. Well, MY malays loves to talk about politics and religion wherever they go. But SG malays are abit different. They love to talk more about economic and whatsoever. I still manage to sync my wavelength with them if they're talking bout that topic...

But when they start talking bout internal SG politics and whatsoever, I couldn't do anything. Since I'm not a Singaporean and dunno anything bout their politics...

I find out that anything related to socialism is a taboo here. We can't simply talk about it. Issit true?

hope you dont end up like me..talking to the wall hahaha

personally i think friends are not everything. my best buddies here are french since i face them everyday, badminton / drinking / party buddies are locals, talk cock whining buddies are msians and prcs, ocassional drinking with aussies and brits. heck got even so tired walking around till bored of it. i think the value of childhood friendship means more to me. thats why i cant figure out how some who emigrate to places like aus & uk, will 360deg adapt to the social circle there?. Long run, end up chinese mix chinese also. Some will be dog tail wagging wannabe whites, but I have and know my roots and tend to enjoy the malaysian life despite how fuked our country is to an extent. Justifiable from a perspective of better living? Well just a matter of time before you miss the roadside nasi kukus nasi lemak, goreng pisang, 'challenging' environment, variety of sights, stuffs like that. well at least to me SG is culturally diverse from the outside, but no depth at all. just walk around and see how superficial everyone is. chasing time, chasing money, chasing careers, double faces in work, ultimately you feel the sense of emptiness. the infrastructure, development yes are 5stars but its more like catered from the foreigners success. like what locals telling me it feels like being caged, espcially when expats (bunch of them!) easily making >15k + condo allowances + good car vs them confined in small rooms and smelling mrt armpits everyday. opps, a little off topic

Calling people 'dog tail wagging wannabe whites' is harsh.
Race and religion should never be an issue if you ask me. If your lifestyles fits then sama sama lo.

I'm game. But am away this weekend.

Where else, Hougang lo. One person go and shout SNORLAXXXXX at the crowd and the rest take video and then post on FB.
