Calling fellow Singaporeans

Hi Yee Ling,

What plans do you have for this proposed Xmas lunch?  Let us know more details and I am sure more will respond.

Ok, I'll try to organise one even though I'm new to the group.

Xmas day lunch anyone? Just simple makan & chit chat.

Hi everyone,

Not sure what everyone likes so I have 2 options:

1) Lunch + bowling
2) Lunch + movie at a cinema (Mission Impossible 4 or Alvin & the Chipmunks)

Sorry, don't really like gift exchanges as past experience has taught me that most of the time I will get stuff that are not practical & fattening :p

As for the lunch itself, depends on everyone's tastebuds. We can have:
1) Singaporean/Malaysian
2) Japanese BBQ
3) Japanese (normal)
4) Dim sum
5) German
6) Italian
7) Indian
8) Hakka (in district 5)
9) Westerm (general)
10) Mushroom hotpot

Let me know what you think about it. Thanks.

Hi all,

I am Singaporean relocating from china with my husband. We have some issues with our cargo to be shipped to hcm. We were told that without a work permit, we are unable to ship our cargo over. Anyone with similar experience?

Hi Mimi,

Yup, without a work permit / resident card, you can't ship your personal items over. What I did was let the cargo sit at the home (or shipper's awarehouse if you've already packed) until you get the work permit, then start the process.

OK, bro. Be sure I will patronize your hotel when I go to Can Tho. I will quote my nick.

1 question. Is it possible that my GF stay together in a room with me?

Sure, just take down my number and give me a buzz or text whichever is convenient for you.

Regards to your question, better that you pm me..

The Law by Right.
Under the Vietnamese law, a guest who is not a Vietnamese citizen cannot share a room with a Vietnamese citizen without proof of marriage to each other. Otherwise, a second room must be booked.

Hi Jessie, firstly, a very warm welcome to this forum.  Next, do you mean you will be posted to Saigon again pretty soon?  If yes, do you already know when will you be touching down in Saigon?

Hello Gilbert, thanks. I'm Vietnamese, have been studying then working in Singapore for 3 years. Time for me to go back my hometown. I will be touching TSN airport on 31 Mar

Hi Jessie, thanks for your introduction. But this forum and our gatherings are meant for Singaporeans stationed in Saigon. Hope you can understand. But you are more than welcomed as a friend. ^_^

I guess singaporeans are too busy making money here that is why no time to chill..

I am heading down to HCMC, anyone knows where I can get the hdmi adapter for ipad 2? And anyone free for a drink?

Hi Bryan,

I bought HDMI cable for my Apple TV, it worked perfectly. Now i could enjoy HD movie with my HD television which i did not enjoy yet. About drinking, let me know when you will come and we could have appointment soon Bryan.
