Think carefully before "trashing" all foreigners... state clearly if you're generalizing. <br /><br />Admittedly, IMHO, Singapore has not been doing a good job of screening/limiting its inflow of foreign labour. That said, I have foreign friends even when I was in Singapore and they came through for me when times went tough. Ironically, it is the mindless Singapore-citizen bosses who gave me the most shit. So who are the trash?Winking Dollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14045187430930181570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5452590323401882895.post-75582404885711829702013-05-24T15:11:41.406-07:002013-05-24T15:11:41.406-07:00Hi TKS,

You can check out ASingaporeanSon's <a href="http://asingaporeanson.blogspot.ca/2012/12/go-easy-way-g.html" rel="nofollow">blog post</a> about whether to use a migration agent or not below.<br />http://asingaporeanson.blogspot.ca/2012/12/go-easy-way-g.html<br /><br />IMHO, it is better to DIY. My views are in the <a href="http://winkingdoll.blogspot.ca/2012/12/emigration-to-diy-or-not-to-diy.html" rel="nofollow">blog post</a> below.<br />http://winkingdoll.blogspot.ca/2012/12/emigration-to-diy-or-not-to-diy.html<br /><br />Always think critically about any advice offered, whether paid or free. Ask yourself the question, "Qui bono?" See the last section of my <a href="http://winkingdoll.blogspot.ca/2013/01/migrant-workers-part-3.html" rel="nofollow">blog entry</a> below about trusting "someone on the basis of him/her being your own countrymen".<br />http://winkingdoll.blogspot.ca/2013/01/migrant-workers-part-3.html<br /><br />Cheers, WD.Winking Dollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14045187430930181570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5452590323401882895.post-87044056808553967402013-05-24T06:22:51.270-07:002013-05-24T06:22:51.270-07:00i am tired of the trash here,thinking of settling ...i am tired of the trash here,thinking of settling down in Canada,it would be great someone could guide us into migrating.TKSAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5452590323401882895.post-1183796760534647862012-02-27T01:48:01.683-08:002012-02-27T01:48:01.683-08:00Hi Xianlong, Thanks for dropping by and commenting...Hi Xianlong, Thanks for dropping by and commenting.<br /><br />> scene of elites spoilts one's mood<br /><br />Me too. I have not watch the NDP for years, since the early 2000's. I just listen to the National Day songs as some are really well done (not the 2011 one that "borrowed" from Lady Gaga). <br /><br />But like you say, I no longer sing them with pride and enthusiasm that I had during my childhood/youth. The sight of the "whitewashed elites" on NDP reminds me of how they dip their hands into the honey pot at the expense of the other Singapore citizens. Really gek-sim!Winking Dollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14045187430930181570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5452590323401882895.post-76925941534327821402012-02-26T22:36:34.078-08:002012-02-26T22:36:34.078-08:00All those national songs has no meaning to me now....All those national songs has no meaning to me now. Back in school days, songs like 'Count on Me S'pore' were sung with enthusiasm but no longer.
