This is a wonderful thread... it should be a sticky. My deepest thanks to all the contributors for their tips. :)

it's not difficult to get a flat per say. it's only difficult if you die die must aim for that 'lucky house number' or windy direction or prosperous fengshui flat, which any typical block will only have that 10 odd units. Look at all the empty units in the estates from Tiong Bahru, to Bishan, to...

I can't quote any sources, but some websites have reported that LCDs and plasma will outlast a CRT. Typical Plasma is rated for about 60,000 hours, LCD about 70,000 hours, while the best CRTs usually last no more than 50,000 hours. Unfortunately, i forgot which website that is, so feel free...

The weird thing is that i caught the whole show on the free french tv channel on SCV, with close-ups and backstage scenes added in. i've to say that toplessness isn't that appealing after seeing it for 2 hrs. what really piques me is that each of those dancers stay in a penthouse in a Clark...

actually jbsn may have a point in what he says. there is seriously no way anyone can stop a person if they really intend to die. You can try to convince them or change their perception of hopelessness, but after all is said and done, it's not a clinical certainty that the suicidal tendencies...

coming to terms with problems is different from repression. if you can manage and rationalise your problems internally, you may not even need to vent them. On the other hand, what you're pointing out is probably the problem with 'repression', denying a problem exists or insisting that it is not...

Singaporeans will take a long long time before the idea of psychological etiologies overtake their reliance on medical explanations and folk belief. how many of us have called people 'schizo' for fickle changes in behavior, which is not the proper thing to say at all? how many of us have...

i'd say that psychology is a very interesting field, but it's only as good as you can apply yourself to it. no use studying it the singaporean way because it does take some flair to think through the complex interactions of human behavior and socio-cultural factors in the development, management...

the filler quality has taken a big hit recently... the forums are having a ball trying to explain why the sword woman dies from an arrow when the big dude doesn't from a big rip in the belly. :P

I actually don't recommend staying in Rickshaw inn primarily because it's like a tourist hideout. For more genuinely Japanese experience, it'd be better to stay in a real ryokan or a japanese minshuku. Sure, they may not understand what you say, but isn't the atmosphere part of being in Japan...

While it's cheaper than cafe, it's way more expensive than normal ground coffee tho :) Maybe if you're super busy and earn more than 7k a month, then i gues it's worth the investment.

what i heard is that the japanese staff rarely check foreigners because they don't wan a situation where they don't understand ur language and end up having to gesture and call for assistance. like i was on the way to shizuoka once and a conductor was checking ppl's tickets. when he reached...

wah, $900 + and it's only part of ur bonus? :P mine wld be all gone liao. haha! :) but i've to admit that the machine looks tempting, seems less troublesome than changing coffee grounds every time.

sorry dude, 1 passport, 1 Jpass. their rationale is that once u get work visa, you're earning japanese money, so u're not entitled to tourist discounts. There's the seishun 18 pass but it's only valid on normal JR trains, not the shinkansen or the ltd express. but u're right abt the frequency...
