Speak Singapore English - Singlish

by ahcoln

Though English is widely spoken in Singapore, many first-time visitors have been confounded by the colloquialisms that pepper Singaporeans' speech. Through the years, Singaporeans have developed their own brand of English fondly referred to as 'Singlish'. 'Singlish' borrows from the many different languages spoken in Singapore. Here's a collection of 'Singlish' terms which you might find handy on your visit to Singapore. Blur (adj)Derived from the English language meaning does not know what is going on.Example: He hasn't read up on the background to this project and was very blur at the meeting. Chim (adj)Pronounced 'cheem'.Derived from the Hokkien dialect meaning profound.Example: The professor's lecture was very chim. Kayu (adj)Pronounced 'kah-yoo'.Derived from the Malay language meaning dumb or stupid.Example: How come he is so kayu? Teach him so many times and he still cannot do it....

Singapore Weather Info

by ahcoln

The climate of Singapore can be divided into two main seasons, the Northeast Monsoon (December to early March) and the Southwest Monsoon season (June to September), separated by two relatively short inter-monsoon periods. (These seasons are usually found in more academic contexts and are not generally familiar to laypeople in Singapore.) During the Northeast Monsoon season, northeast winds prevail, sometimes reaching 20 km/h. Cloudy conditions in December and January with frequent afternoon showers. Spells of widespread moderate to heavy rain occur lasting from 1 to 3 days at a stretch. Relatively drier in February till early March. Also generally windy with wind speeds sometimes reaching 30 to 40 km/h in the months of January and February. During the Southeast Monsoon season, southeast/southwest winds prevail. Isolated to scattered showers occur in the late morning and early afternoon....

Best Of Singapore

by mizzzthanggg

Lots of great sightseeing to be done in Singapore if you're into city tours & nightlife & shopping... it's most certainly not a destination if you're looking for a lazy beach holiday.My Favourite Things To Do In Singapore:1. Orchard Road! - The ultimate shopping street. And a few weeks before Xmas, they make a big deal about switching on the Xmas Lights and usually get celebrities to do the honours... I think one year they had the UK girl group Eternal... I think.2. Night Safari - Singapore Zoo3. Underwater World - Sentosa Island4. Holland Village - where the expats hang out in many different bars and cafes5. Boat Quay - lots of food and restaurants and bars and cafes6. The Esplanade & The Merlion - Great concerts and musicals and performances are shown every month with some big names from all over the world. 7. Little India, Chinatown, Arab Street... typical hotspots for arts and...

Monsoons: The Raining Seasons

by xuessium

The Northeast Monsoon brings rain to Singapore between November and February but the wettest month tend to be December. The Southwest Monsoon brings rain between July and September but this is a weaker monsoon so rain volume tends to be much lower than its Northeastern counterpart. Even during monsoon seasons, it does not rain everyday. The bad thing is that thunderstorms, if they roll in, can really wash out your plans but it also means that the temperature will drop to a more tolerable 30C or lower in the day.

Camera handy

by Fudge

Take pics of sunsets in Singapore. On a good day you cant believe these shots are taken in Singapore!I would suggest going to Mount Faber, Labrador Park, Lower Pierce Reservoir, Pulau Ubin, Sembawang, Changi Beach to get some sunset shots :) The sunset at Labrador park is sometimes stunning. This was on a cloudy day. So doesnt do justice. Have a look below!

Money

by Ewingjr98

Money s Singapore is called the Dollar. It is easy to acquire at ATMs throughout the city. Most credit cards are widely accepted. Food can run as low as a few dollars for a quick meal on the street to over S$100 per person at a fancy restaurant such as the one we tried on Orchard Road. Our hotel, the Metropole, was on the low end at S$75 per night for double occupancy. Expensive hotels, such as the Raffles (right next door to Metropole), start at S$650 per night!!!

Shopping Tip: Bring your Visa

by Clooney5

Shopping! You haven't been in Singapore if you have not been on a Singapore Shopping experience. Practically all the shops are on Orchard Road and they mostly accept Visa (but not Amex). Visa is indeed the preferred card in this country!!
