Hello!!!

I have been in Singapore for 2 months now and have spent it adapting to my new job but now I have a lot of free time on my hands!

I am looking for some new friends here, i'm a sociable person and have only met people who are travelling around and don't intend to stay here so to meet people who plan to live here for a while would be great :D

You guys should head down this weekend for the pub crawl! Tons of fun people from various nationalities. =)

mr_elusive

Hi all,

same situation here - although I go out quite often, I'd like to meet new ppl to hang out with! If you're up to something, count me in.

Or we can just gather for a beer at CQ riverside this weekend, if anyone's interested.

cheers,
Andrej

Hello everyone :D thank you for replying! I have been busy this week so i have only just seen your posts.

What are the details regarding the bar crawl? Sounds fun but i'm not sure whether i will be able to afford it this month. Is there a bar crawl every months or is this just a one time thing?

friendlyhaggis

Hi Sophie,

I'm pretty much in the same situation as you - I moved out to Singapore from the UK at the start of October and am working in an office with a bunch of people who are very difficult to socialise with!
If you fancy going for a night out/drinks or are organising anything then let me know as I'm desperate for a social life again!!

Claire :)

I feel very much in the same boat!  I've been here about 6 weeks.  Would love to meet up whenever something is planned.  Is the 730 pub crawl happening on sat?

Fabrizio Righi

I would love meeting with new people, I miss the socialization of my Country ;) anyway I am quite away from the City, as I stay in the West close to Chua Chu Kang. Btw I try having new friends by organizing BBQ, Italian dinners (I am an Italian Chef and also a language teacher and teach both of them also in the CCs) and cultural events... if there is anybody interested I will check these posts time by time. Whatever, have a nice time and enjoy Singapore!

elsalangbein

Hi Sophie :)
I was very much in the same boat as you when I first moved here but have now made lots of good friends who will be living here for quite some time. We love to go out and do anything fun so let me know if you would be interested to meet up one time and I'd be happy to introduce you to a few people.

Hi guys, same story here. Moved from London 2 months ago, so far enjoying it, but desperate to meet people outside my office. Going out, dinner, drinks...whatever. Saw posts saying they spent 2 years in Singapore and couldn't make many friends etc, freaking out as I type! If I don't go out and have fun, I can't function as simple as that. So going all guns in now, please let me know! Thanks!!

sophie.lawrence

Hey guys, i'm around all christmas so a meet up should be organised! How about you?
What kind of thing do you guys fancy doing? Drinks somewhere would be cool as long as its not too early as i supposed to finish work at 7pm but sometimes i stay longer than that :p

elsalangbein

Wednesday's are ladies night so cheap or free drinks. A few cheeky drinks after work on Wednesday's is never a bad idea :P

It absolutely is. I'm probably going to be there with a few friends (although we'll join a little later around 9 or 9:30).

You should come!

Nishyirshi

Hi guys, similar case here, moved from Barcelona one and a half month. This time I've been getting used to my new job and now that I'm settled, I think is time to meet new people.

I'm working in a wine company if someone has interest in wines or just want to meet up and share experiences I'm open to it.

I'll keep reading this thread.

Cheers¡¡¡

Juan.

Finn2012

Hi Fabrizio,

Now the thread has turned in a gastronomic side: wines and food, that's sounds amazing being a wine enthusiastic.

see you soon

Fabrizio Righi

FOR WHOM IT MIGHT CONCERN ;)
On Saturday 29 December, 2:4PM, I will hold a Pizza Workshop for my second time in Senja Cashew CC... the workshop is funny and hands on, furthermore I teach how to prepare the dough in 5 different ways and after topping and baking we eat them all! I give a 6-pages document with the main things I teach during my workshop. In the first one I had 14 participants, big success... maybe it is an opportunity to know each other if you come and/or enjoy Italian dishes!!! Hope to see some of you, let me know ;)

nijichan
