Hi guys! I'm not Canadian but my boyfriend is. Specifically a diehard Canucks fan! :D He plans to move here soon, but I was just wondering if you guys moved here with a job waiting or you moved here and started hunting for a job? Thanks!!
Hello, What I did was my bf (Singaporean) sponsored me for my long term social visit pass. And I got an EPEC (a pass to look for job) but without a job waiting its quite difficult to survive. Rent is expensive. Unless he's living with you. Btw (Im ... Read More

Who started to say 'lah' in Singapore? by Sandara
I understand the ubiquitous word "lah" is derived from Malay. Just curious. It becomes a symbol(can I say 'image'?) of Singapore, When ppl imitate Singaporean, they must say that 'lah' word at the end of the sentence. And those words like 'yah lor', ...
