So now that you have landed in Singapore (lucky you) and intend to stay here for an extended visit, it is given that you need a roof over your head as soon as possible. Extended hotel stays are only for the bloated plutocrats and you want some protection from fellow guests inspecting you like a goldfish in a bowl whenever they see you acting like as if you are back home.

You dropped that empty pack of cigarettes on the sidewalk and let it be, you spilled your fruit juice in the Hawker Center and the poor uncle had to clean up for you, here’s your chance to get clear with your conscience. Donate something for the poor and needy.

I myself stood in front of a huge pile of old clothes, shoes and games I neglected to take with me when I recently moved places. So I decided to donate them instead of pushing down the refuse chute.

Its up to you, move to the “cheap” HDB and get real up close to the local way of living, or stay in your “Condo Bubble” and enjoy the expat life style. Last week I wrote about the “5 Best Things Of Staying In An HDB”. However, not everything is wonderful taking the step up from your secured private apartment to the HDB staircases.
