"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

5 grand USD right?

Rent cost there as much and even more than in US. $1k for 2 bedroom. But ghetto is ghetto, no matter if it's ghetto in USA, Singapore, or Russia. I can tell you a thing or two about ghetto living. In center and closer to center prices are always higher. Prices also higher in summer, so called season. You want to look for rent away from the city center, pick a bus and go to its end stop, that sort of away. There you could rent a room in a nicely build mansion and pay less.

Chances of you coming from India to Singapore and renting a place for a good price right off the bat are very slim. You'd need a friend there. Have you tried social networking sites?

Find out how they rent there, and where. You want bare minimum, a nice sized room at the end of the city. Because 5k is not real money in places like Singapore and Moscow.

If you go mainstream real estate agents, expect to pay $1500 for a place, and then $800 for food.

One more thing, don't ride a scooter or bike, either ride bus, or buy a car.

Rent for a apartment (HDB) is around 2k SGD if I am not wrong. Condos are 3k/mth. I live here so I've heard my parents talking about leasing rents to tenants.

And take public transport. The cost to own a car here is astronomical. A mere COE (Certificate of Entitlement: More absurd income for the govt) is around 70k for a car, couple that with a car cost of 50-100k for a car you've just bought a car that costs over a hundred grand. Sometimes I wonder how can I afford my own car in the future.

Lol frankly speaking everywhere in SG is safe. Avoid areas with gangs if you may cause there's always bound to be trouble, then again vey few of suh things happen. Life tends to get stressful around here and majority of the public, especially during peak hours in public transport are rude and stuck-up. Thats my POV after being here for 18 years.

Just curious which part of SG are you gonna live in?

People gonna hate you....too many foreigners in SG.
Well it's not his fault he got a job here. It's the government's fault for allowing the situation to get out of hand.

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

Yep. There's a hawker centre nearby that sells pretty good food. There's a stall selling chicken wings and one more selling BBQ seafood, both are equally kickazz in quality. Worth to check it out.

There are public gyms available around the city, 2.50 per entry for adults. The name of the gyms is CLUBFITT, look for your nearest sports complex. I currently live with my parents so I can't say much about actual cost of living here.

Google for parks in Singapore, plenty of them.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.
