Singaporeans should change their idea of "greener pastures"
-
But aren't you studying in aussie land?
-
Concentrate on studies, don't waste time on internet bullshit like NWO/Illuminati.
Go and look up a history professor and discuss with him NWO/Illuminati, he will explain to you clearly why it is rubbish.
But you risk looking like a fool in front of him.

My point----
if oz is so damn good,why 60,000 leave in a year?
,,,
you need to know why they are leaving, their age, profile, etc. then you can give a qualitative viewpoint that makes sense and support your point.just giving a topline number doesn''t say anything.
that has been your thrust in this thread; vague numbers, generalizations, insubstantive claims.

dude, you should try cycling from one mrt station to another, and try timing yourself. unless you are going at a not so relax pace, will normally take 8-10 minutes.
i cycle to tuition sometimes, and i am speaking from experience.

was thinking of getting a bike to cycle to tuition as well :D

It depends on the route, the number or stops u make at traffic lights , turns or straight roads to avoid pedestrians.
get a good GPS with up to date maps, put it into "pedestrian" mode, avoid major roads, junctions, freeways ect.
Some of them have a "cycling" mode, and i think there are ones specifically designed for cycling.
-
Many years ago, i had cycling hobby. But one problem u always encounterare long upward slopes. They can tire u easily. so try to avoid slopes if u can do a detour.

if you need GPS, you are probably cycling too far.
The max i go is like 2 mrt stops away, further than that is really tedious.
my personal rule of thumb, you guys can have fun cycling super long distance.

aiyoh, GPS may possible tell u hidden shortcuts u never knew
tedious depends on the quality of your bicycle lah.
crappy cheap bikes with inferior suspension and chain mechanism will tire u with the jerks and bumps...
oil your chains before setting out as they can provide a smoother ride....
-
Newbikes today feature full suspensions. This means that both the front and rear wheels are cushioned with some sort of system which will give you added comfort and control.Advisable to get this kind of bike
-
What about those handphone GPS like N95?
-
recce route by looking at map before hand. gps can tell me more than that meh?
i don't know how much money you spend on your bike, but long route will be tedious is duh.

A professor discussed with me in deatail about it before indeed u big fool .
He does agree that it is very possible and humans always have hidden agendas in everything they do especially when it comes to capitalism, mind u this guy is a PHD is finance and economics.

depends on how good yr map is. Again there may be possible errors or things like construction sites and road closures may not show up. In that case use the detour function

if you cycle on pavement, i rest my case.btw, cylists shld be on the road.
20km/hr in cycling terms is really slow.
