Friends in Singapore??

redvelvet · 2010-10-12T19:31:12+02:00

Seems like it's really hard to find friends in Singapore! Considering it's size I was under the impression it'll be an easy task but not according to the posts in this forum!! not good since I'll be moving soon! hmmmm..... Is it due to time constraint, busy work schedule or are people simply not friendly enough in Singapore?

Could somebody please explain me why people are complaining that its hard to find a friend here ? And everybody ask to be notified about an event. But nobody organizes one ?
And this is happening not only on this forum but in most expats forums .
I am not blaming any one . I am really trying to understand . Is it because some cultural mater I am not familiar with ?
Will be glad for some explanations. I am confused

genadyc..organization of events require lots of effort. Communication with multiple ppl who will give answers like maybe and even those that say yes might not turn up at the last minute. I know cause i've done it before. Not too keen on doing it again. But dont let me put you off, perhaps you may have better luck.
In any case, there is this group called sporeexpat connections that organize pub and club events about once a month.

Ive been to a few and its quite good fun with lots of ppl.
