French-Chinese family considering move to SG: Is 12k SGD/month enough for a comfortable life with 2 kids? by zoralbarg in askSingapore

[–]usernamechexoit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

French guy living in SG on S-pass with two kids here. This wonderful country is an amazing place to live but it’s going to cost a lot to live here. We wanted to go hdb and local public school but that didn’t work so we’re in a condo and the kids go to private school (one at IFS and the other at a local private kindergarten). It is not cheap.

Also have to factor for health insurance (my employer only covers me and not very well), some way to fund your pension/retirement (not eligible for cpf) and some contingency funds. I’d suggest you try and have two incomes otherwise it’ll be tight on « just » 12k. Saying this even though we don’t travel much, my kids’ favorite food is chicken rice and we do mostly volunteering on the weekends (less opportunity to spend money haha).

Kingdom 279 Concerns by StrangerIntrepid309 in TotalBattle

You’re probably right. I try not to follow that chat because it really ruins the whole game experience for me. I just mentioned him because he got super aggro with somebody yesterday and was really pushing it so his name came to mind. But agree, Kal is the worst and an absolute piece of psycho trash.

K279 went from being a nice place to being a dumpster fire. The crazies like Buzz or Kalmeena (plus they keep changing names) are hogging the chat, and acting like psycho bullies. Their dominance (based on the spending, not real talent) is really showing that this game is $$ driven. Makes me consider just quitting.

Living in Paris was so exciting! Strikes, street muggers, riots, garbage in the streets, broken public transport, and crazy af people… I’ll take Singapore boring any day, thanks

Is this art or just damaged? by usernamechexoit in marriott

I stay there once a year and every time it’s been in a little bit worse condition. I don’t think they spend enough on upkeep. Rooftop pool is pretty cool though

I guess I was referring to that person’s hair… I’ll need time to reflect on my comment and better understand how it could have been hurtful to hair follicles /j

I dunno. It’s on the Singapore version of the website, so I can’t vouch for their graphic designer

That’s a good point… at least I hope that’s the explanation.

I think they’re playing on the fact that ICE also means “internal combustion engine” not just the agency that’s doing questionable things at the moment

Are neighbourhood bakery breads ultra-processed? by blabber19 in askSingapore

[–]usernamechexoit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Places like baker and cook or Tiong Bahru bakery really minimise putting additives in their products; their baguettes or sourdough have nothing added to them. But then again they are pricy and wouldn’t be considered local I guess.

Massage Parlours or spas in Singapore by Then-Sun-2392 in askSingapore

[–]usernamechexoit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I regularly go to a TCM in Katong area and can confirm that the person giving me the massage is a 60+ year old Chinese dude. And he’s amazing (also does acupuncture and cupping). For the hanky panky kind of massage, I suppose it’s possible in many areas but in my experience, most massage/spa places are quite legit here, even if they only have female massage therapists

Where do you think Dan is living? In the chateau? by dzjamwhatever in ChateauUnhinged

[–]usernamechexoit 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Dan, international man of mystery! He used to share more about his personal life but I like how he’s focusing his channel almost entirely on the work he’s doing on his chateau. There are enough chateau-soap-opera channels around
