singaporeans need earthquakes to give them a wake up call
It might end up being more than just a wake-up call--my understanding is that the building codes in Singapore do not require structures to be earthquake-proof.

In Bolehland, the MCA is now w/o a party boss effectively. Both got kicked out during the EGM after trying to outdo each other.
In Singapore, Q3's GDP went up 0.8% y-y, 14.9% q-q
Does this mean that the MIW can give themselves a collective pat on the back and a huge salary increase?By the way, the Dow is currently just a few points shy of 10,000, and people here are expecting it to finish above that level by the end of the trading day.

Depends. How much time do you intend to spend in the US? How much travelling do you intend to do within the US? Which cities do you intend to visit? Do you have friends and/or relatives with whom you could stay for free here?
Actually, all things considered, the current recession has put a pretty serious damper on recreational travel here, and there are some killer deals to be had on hotel accommodation and airline travel, if you know where to look.

probably a month or 2.
i've got a cousin in NY
my aunt and cousin are in CA

Just off the top of my head:Food: about $45 to $50 per day if you're eating out the entire day, and don't plan on relying entirely on fast food. Note that it's customary to tip between 15% and 20% of the cost of the meal at "sit down" restaurants.
Air travel: between $200 and $400 for a one-way coach-class ticket from one coast to the other.
Slush money for buying souvenirs, trinkets, etc., tickets for admission into various attractions, etc., public transportation: Anywhere from $40 to $80 per day.
Again, these are just numbers off the top of my head; you could end up spending more or less than that, depending on how extravagant you are.

what if i rely on subway sandwiches only?
i won't be buying souvenirs, i'm not that kind of tourist.
i wanna just hang around, walk around but not be a tourist and go for attractions
like chill out, have a coffee... reading the papers, walk around the shops (i just look, i don't buy)

So, in other words, you want to experience life as a local while you're here.
If you intend to commit gastronomical suicide and rely entirely on Subway sandwiches as a means of sustenance during your stay here, you could probably get by on $25 for three meals. Subway is even running a deal in which they are offering a selection of their "footlong" sandwiches for $5 each.
Bear in mind that, given the size of towns and cities here, "walking around" won't get you very far. If you're going to be staying with friends and/or relatives, chances are they'll be way out in the suburbs where motorized transporation is a necessity to get around.

hmmmmmmmm
ok sacrificing my bkk trips should be enough for a trip to the states.
now i gotta plan what i'm gonna do there for a month!
my relatives will be working and i'll be alone mostly.
then i'll probably travel around by subway or something (at NY)
