Work a few years and save hard to make downpayment (CPF plus savings), then get yourselves into a mountain ass of debt. Work the rest of your lives to pay it off - that is the reality in Singapore. No need to discuss quality of living, just a roof over their heads. Financial freedom will be utopia, instead financial indebtedness will be a fact of life. Very sad isn't it?

but wine was not common. Yes mallow is right.

More of liquour n beer.

Lots of music.

I would never want to trade my childhood with anyone elses or even do it differently.

I do not eat poultry at all, almost everything else enjoyed. Hot good rice, sambal belachan/acar, green sayor and anything else would be terrific. Thank you. Write to me with day and time. If you give me notice and it does not rain [seriously!] we may be able to bring the toddy.
Meanwhile, as it was once nicely said, Eurasians are the salt in the mix.

Just got back from JB. Went to Jusco Tebrau City. It's much better than Jusco Bukit Indah. By the way eventhough wife has MACS still had to be finger printed but told only once! Went in through 2nd link, had quite jam!! No jam coming back at 1830hrs at 2nd link.

I don't know about being the "Salt in the Mix" but we are surely a mix bag and confusing at times!!!!

As to the mosseys, close all windows and doors by 1800 hrs and switch on the fan/aircon. Definetly no mossies will be bothering you for the night.... If any do put in an apperances Mortien or Sheltox the rooms especially the dark places i.e. under the beds, behind cupboards, seettes if it's against the wall, wait for abit, 20-30 minutes, shut all doors and windows come 6.00pm in the evening, guarantee no more mosquitoes coming to the banquet!!!!! ( sorry no money refund... of Mortein or Sheltox if one mosquito escape and bites you!!!!!) That's what I used to do when we lived in Brunei for about 8mths. before coming to Singapore.

Cathy, saw a sign for Vegetarian restaurant at Bukit Indah round-a-bout, several shops after the Money Changer with the Big RED sign going towards the turning to Giant. Can't miss the sign as it's planted by the road. May have been earlier by other helpful forummers????

Sorry missed the bit about where the mee rebus stall located. Would you so kind as repeat where it's to be found again! :)
 
Yeah bro real beer. I could not believe my eyes when the menu at monsta cafe read Jazz beer.

I asked the waiter if it was real beer?

I further asked him exactly what you had suspected.

I asked if it was shandy in a best case scenario.

the guy assured me tht it was real beer "Jaz" beer 300 ml 5% alcohol. Premium lager.

They also have a smaller size as well.

Im here again at monsta cafe and sipping on Jaz beer.

After crossing malaysia immigration via tuas stopped at the geylang patah r & r.

One of the stalls sells mee rebus.

Im not a fan of mee rebus. Got it for my wife. She said it was a bit sweet.

She loves the mee rebus at hougang ave8 kopitiam only in the mornings
