“turns out you guys just aren’t sleeping” as a uni student this is so accurate😭
Even now I am coding at 3am. We do not sleep.
I didn't join in this no sleeping culture until I went to jc. "7 hours is a luxury". Like hello it's not a luxury it's a necessity 😂
what is sleep when finals is next week
Even as a secondary school student 😭
Kinda sed but we kinda grown to have to love the hustle
welcome to Singapore🎉 any fans reunion schedule😂
Yeah is there? I look forward to any news abt it
@@leah5280 I don't think have it. Miki is sick in SG
@@eevienchien8053 right
Hellos! Hehehe
The adults are friendly but the kids and teens aren't 😵
Singaporeans just don’t sleep 😂😂 when I was working in SG, I sat with my manager until midnight to correct some reports then I went home but when I got up, I received email from him at 2AM, 4AM, 5.30AM and so on… I was like whoa dude, when was the last time you slept 😂😂😂
Toxic work culture. And i thought it got better over the years, guess not.
My office sleep actually
I wish I could function without sleeping much, but I need atleast 6-7 hours of sleep every day, or else I get really bad headaches.. like really really bad.
This guy will die early.
Before 60 years, he's gone!
I read a comic book till 2am and I’m from 🇸🇬
My hair hates the humidity here in Singapore. Everytime I go overseas during colder seasons, my hair becomes much smoother & not fizzy.
Same it’s just way too hot here 😭
Same. SG weather ruined my hair
I'm Malaysian and it's 60% humidity here but when I lived in the UK for a year, my skin was soooo nice. No chipping and I just felt healtheir
Haha I experienced the same as well
@@naylisyazwina6836The air pollution may of also had something to do with it.
Welcome to SG! No napkins cos everyone bring around a packet of tissue paper to ‘chope’ 😂
there is also always a uncle selling tissues at the hawker centres :D but my asian mother keeps a large pack of tissues in the car and 2-3 pkts of tissue in her bag
I don’t chope, but bring napkins
Ya
I can relate
Yeah I don’t do that but have seen people do that and I usually avoid seats with a tissue paper pack on it
As a Singaporean student, I can confirm that we indeed are sleep-deprived (and slightly depressed hAhA).
i mean as a another student of sg i surprisingly sleep alot compared to other people like i have friends that sleep at like 2 and wake at 5 only to sleep in class
That's not healthy bro. Take good care of your body's health today and it will take care of you when you are older
I lived in SG for a year and they are competitive af.
If they think a Singaporean are so friendly, i cant imagine how people are where they came from
@@SaveThePurpleRhino pretty privilege and facades matter haha.
exactly, i don't see how foreigners says singaporeans are so nice and friendly, it must be a facade..
@@SaveThePurpleRhino
She might talk about her friends is NICE & FRIENDLY
But generally SING IS IS POLITE COUNTRY, PPL IS HIGH EDUCATION & SAFTY. She’s not wrong though.
While it can’t happen in US/Western, ppl is uneducated, bloody racist & violent hateful towards to Asian.
Kiasu.
I think the expensive car is a strategy to reduce traffic, in addition to the rule that you have to have your own garage before owning a car
Singapore is a small country so they have to control the number of vehicle. To own a car you need to have Certificate of Entitlement which is limited provide every month and only last 10 years. After your cert expired,you need to resign and the price is not cheap 🥲
@@Aelin38 thisssss
So many crazy rich ppl "flocked" into SG, COE used to be 30K SGD before covid, now it's at at least 100k SGD zzz
You dont have to have your own garage. Lol. You just apply and paay for parking near your residential area.
And encourage public transport usage
I’m from Thailand but I recently went on a school/leadership camp trip to Singapore back in October, I never wanted to move to a different country so badly, the public transportation was so convenient and nice, and everything is also so clean
I’m from Thailand as well, but I’ve never been to singapore. I live in the UK though, and let me tell you although the public transportation is convenient, most of the time it’s very dirty and has a weird smell… 😅😅
It would be cool to be an Ambassador there!😜
I am from Singapore and I want to move to Thailand instead lol
@@user-sg4vb2yg4q
Really? What made you interested in Thailand?
@@shookyscousin the food, the people, the night markets and the cost of living... Singapore is too small and too expensive
I just rode the MRT in Singapore. And this really kind gentleman stood up and gave me his seat. I love it here. Everyone is so polite.
I got to live there for 2 1/2 yrs & hands down one of the best countries to live in!! Miss it so much. Honestly, beats living in the US. Safe, efficient, clean, beautiful & everyone is polite & you don’t get ripped off, no crime, & you can fly all around Asia on weekends.
The US can learn alot from SG
"Honestly, beats living in the US."
Ha!
Easily.
The US is a third-world country.
You guys can't have nice things because you're a liberal dystopia.
But the main difference is yhe us is a cultural melting pot and sg isn't
A lot of places beat living in the us
@@chrishaakman9174 Sg also is, just not to the same extent as the US
@@chrishaakman9174 I think it depends on where. A city like NYC yes. However a "rural" area in Singapore will still be way more multicultural (guaranteed at least 4 races, huge mix of food and languages) than a "rural" area in America
Here is a fact. You will encounter friendly people, and unfriendly people. The rude and unfriendly can make you gasp in disbelief. But the vast majority are kind, friendly, honest and helpful.
🤔
I just moved to singapore... But i dont have any friends.. its pretty lonely here...😢
we have soft water in singapore, depending on where you lived before you might have hard water (excess calcium and magnesium)
As a singaporean studen, I can confirm that we don't sleep
same, and it's 100% true
Same, I'm doing homework at midnight, sleep at class
we just sleep in class
the humidity just makes my hair really frizzy 🥴 and we're not sleeping because we're all stressed out with school & work 😭😭 (or maybe it's just me)
Hair does that when it is thirsty. After you finish washing your hair, let it dry how you normally do until it's damp but not wet. Then apply a leave-in conditioner that suits your hair type. Doesn't have to be a specially formulated one, even certain oils do the trick (I use argan). Try doing this once a week at first, then increase frequency as required
I sleep more when I’m stressed. Do you have any tips to sleep less? Like I really need to cut my sleep time
I am actually from Singapore and the reason everyone is so nice is because we learn to respect people because of our pass of other countrys
Say what?
Not all Sgeans are nice la. Let's be honest. But nice or rude people are everyone in any country. Some more then others. That is all.
When Singapore Airlines flights come into Changi, they always welcome the residents home. Always the best part of the trip going home. 😊
I've been to Singapore two times!!! They're the most friendly and hospitable people I've ever seen!!
I am in Singapore right now for a concert. It is so damn hot! The hotness is suffocating at times but I see a lot of locals not sweating and even wearing long sleeves and couldnt see a single drop of sweat. Singaporeans are very nice
I lived in Singapore when I was a kid .And I do agree that ppl don't sleep much .Even my family don't sleep much.They all have too much energy . Singaporeans works hard and they're very active even in early mornings.
Do they undergo some sort of micro hibernation on their day off and sleep for 16 hours to make up for the sleep loss? lol
I visited for the first time a few weeks ago. So beautiful and transportation was so efficient! I can’t wait to visit again! ❤
Thanks for highlighting the expensive car prices , we will forward this video to our transport minister
If you are a driver, you will appreciate the expensive car licence prices. No jams. Try driving in another city with cheap cars. You'd die in the car jam.
Thank you for forwarding your concerns. Your minister of transport has received your observation and shall take it into consideration during our next annual overview of our nation’s integrated transport infrastructure. We appreciate your good work citizen.
Ok but like honestly it’s partly understandable. We have WAY WAYYY too many cars on the road rn the traffic jams are scary ig this tries to prevent people from buying cars
@@revilogowe will monitor the situation
Facts abt cars here in SG🇸🇬
1. To get a car, you need to purchase a COE (certificate of entitlement) for around S$100,000 in 2023.
2. Your COE only lasts 10 years
after living in melbourne fr 8 years since university days, i wondered how did i live/survive with so little sleep in sg as a student...
Thanks for sharing. However, not everyone is nice and friendly. Yes there are good and nice people, but there are bad ones too. However, never let the bad ones affect your love for Singapore. Learn to be nice and polite to people even though some may be rude at times. Welcome to Singapore and hope you'll enjoy your stay here. God bless and take care:)
Singapore 🇸🇬 seems like an amazing place to visit 😊.
not really. its quite boring and shitty
To live too!
Go for the amazing food!
I love Singapore 🇸🇬🇸🇬🇸🇬🇸🇬
I came to Singapore over 30 years ago and still living here. The best thing I like here is convenience. Grocery shopping, healthcare, transportation and eateries.
That’s what I love when I’m at home in Asia, the water is so soft and clean compared to the hard water in the US that your hair is buttery smooth and silky
Just add a water softner
Not only cars are expensive…housing here are also expensive
Yeah, heard owning a car there is hella expensive. Not only are carz overpriced, you also have to pay for like an extra SGD10k-15k to own it, then you also have to pay for your own parking (owning a condo doesnt give you a parking spot)
It's 120k for that piece of paper now, thereabout.
Yeah, and you can own it for 10 years before you're required to bid again.
@@YotsusWhat about motorbikes?
Average humidity in Singapore is actually at a dangerous level (above 80-90%) and poses issues health-wise. Google it. Yes, it does not make the skin dry, but that's it.
I’m in Singapore college and the culture is different. Even foreign professors are accepting if you email them at night but in the states or Australia no email during afterhours
Glad you guys enjoyed your time here…. Hope you all had a chance to try a good variety of local dishes…Indian , Malay & Chinese
Welcome to Singapore !!!
I asked for napkins when I got food at a street fair and they said no. I laughed but dude was serious. He gave me one. But it's about litter. Car registrations are limited by the government. The subway is great but don't bring Amy food or drinks on it. They don't habe garbage cans in the subway because eating and drinking is against the law there. It's so small you can walk but it's so hot. I love singapore
The main reason why we do not have a garbage cans in the subway isn’t because eating and drinking is against the law there. It is to prevent terrorist attack. Used to have it but removed after US 9/11 tragic event.
"so nice and friendly" 💀
I’ve been to Singapore for work, and it was one the best countries I visited. The public transport there is really good.
The cars part is truly a fact no one drives in SG, and there are some taxi and Uber delivery drivers but other than that it’s all public transportation like buses, subway trains like I visited SG last month and I sat once in a taxi car but the rest is all subway trains 😂 btw fellow neighbour MYS here
Our Singaporean client is sending us an email at 3 AM PH time 😂
You forgot to add..the car you own in Singapore is only for 10 years!!!
Welcome to Singapore!
the houses are so expensive too 😭😭 the amount used to buy a flat can buy a house elsewhere
Welcome to Singapore! ❤ Hope to see you again soon…
yeah Singaporeans are so stressed up with Whatsapp messages.
The boss or colleague could be texting at 9pm and they expect you to reply.
Singaporeans work almost 24/7.
Their eyes are glued to their phones even when they walk in public places. I call them "walking zombies".
It's a lifeless place where many disgruntled commoners just work work work for pittance.
Depend which sector you are..if you are office based, good luck...
@@ae101rulez You’re lucky, I guess.
Hope you enjoyed your stay in our sunny humid Singapore 🤗
I lived in Singapore during my highschool years. So stressful! O and A level in Singapore is an experience you should try if you plan to make it in life. You will survive everywhere else. Singapore is convenient, people are nice, I love the food. I just don't love the fact that it is hot year round, no four seasons. People also tend to be quite the same. Coming from the North of Vietnam, I guess I just craved for more chaos and diversity in my life 😂.
And despite the tough and stressful O and A level, majority struggle in professional lives later. I wonder why.
@@energy12211 one of the things I noticed while studying in Singapore is that very few people would make choices that look like it is riskier but actually is easier. People tend to walk the well trodden paths. Nothing wrong but it is very competitive.
@@linhduong0809 Good observation. I wonder if it's because of a mix of scarcity mindset ( given how small Singapore is, the opportunities are always less compared to US or Europe) and cultural factors (e.g. can't disappoint parents etc., No sense of independence/ independent viewpoint as they stay with their parents mostly..). But what really surprised me is how so few people actually leveraged their powerful passport to explore different parts of world or even worked abroad.
@@energy12211 Honestly, I have not thought that deep about it. But it seems they have to pay a very high price for any mistake they make. For a civil servant, they have to have their transcript since primary submitted. That is what I heard.
Happy to have you two! Love from Singapore!!!! ❤
I just love Singapore
My favorite destination
Thank you so much.. I feel so proud to be a Singaporean ❤
Me too 🇸🇬❤
This is why in Singapore there is many old people cleaning and selling napkins/tissues
As someone who has been living in sg for my whole life let me tell you some stuff… The water which is your “conditioner” is just chlorine 🤭 People are friendly bec they might know you from social media, if you are not famous or anything, it’s less likely for people to be friendly towards you or even talk to you! Most of them are just on their phones (can’t blame them tho) 😂
Welcome to Singapore! I hope you enjoyed your stay here. Yes they don't really give a lot of tissue papers here 🤧😭
Singapore be like: damn gas prices here are high
Meanwhile: gas in Malaysia sure are cheap 🙂
I am so happy to see another creator in Singapore 💕
SG have among the best public transport in the world since the country is small, making them easy to manage.
Welcome to Singapore!
Me: ok bye!
I did ask my relative in Singapore.. she told me even after you spend that money to owe the car, like example you at your prime you get the car, after a decade you felt you want to slow down, but you can't coz you restart all over again the whole process to own the car, so.. you must move and at your peak all the time even you age 60.. if you still want to own a car, you need to perform... It's not like you get a car at 30s and can keep the car when you reach 50s.. it's not work that way..
It is true
So I heard you could buy like 3 or 4 cars in the States with the price of one from Singapore. Pretty crazy
The nice and friendly didn't happen to me until after a few months 😭. The hawker centre ppl always yell at me, look so done with me, and would gimme side eyes until they memorised my face and started greeting me. Only a few ppl were nice to me. The rest was simply ready to fight me. I envy y'all's experience. After a while and after a little bit of exploring, I found places with nice ppl. But, boy, my social anxiety was off the roof the first time I got here. My mom and I almost cried. They're really nice to me now tho.
Hahahaha don't worry you're living the real experience😂. If u wanna be treated nicely u gotta either look rich or speak good english
We take time to warm up. Having lived overseas, I find friendliness to be relative. Westerners ask "how are you" but they don't really mean to know about your mental health. It feels nice and cosy as if someone cares about you, but after awhile, it's just another day to day greeting. In Singapore, we dont greet because of the fast pace, but if we ask you "how are you", we really mean to know if you are really coping well and will be ready to spend time listening to you.
I would say welcome to Singapore. But I am not sure if everyone says that . Hahahaha
I am a singaporean and I am so touched to hear that you enjoy being in our country (except for the price of our cars)
Nah I’ve lived in Singapore for 5 years now I have to tell you the grabs here are sooo expensive
$200,000 dollars for a ToYoTa pRiUs???!! That’s crazy🤯
They forgot to mention, for $200k you are only allowed to own the car for 10 years 😂
That is couple goals ❤❤❤❤
im singaporean!! glad you enjoyed staying here!!
As a Singaporean who is currently living in another country, I am very proud of my origin
You can drink water straight from the tap.
You can do that anywhere in the West too especially since John Snow (no he wasn’t a bastard) discovered cholera was a water-borne disease, and helped instigate sanitation
i'm sorry... DID YOU SAY GRAB IS REASONABLY PRICED?? a one way ride's around $50 😭😭
Lol where you travelled to for it to be that expensive? I've travelled night time from west to east and the most I got was arounc $30+
Car is a social status symbol in Singapore. Even the most basic car costs a fortune because you have to pay for certificate of entitlement, and other permission. Basically you spend more on tjese permissions than the car. And you can only keep the car for a certain duration.
Same with housing, the houses are on 99year lease even though you pay $400-500k on a small 86sqm apartment. The non lease once go can over 1million
Try buying a house in Sydney!
@@wanjina618 try in sg, a 86sqm is $500-600k :D
...as a primary sch student i can confirm that i sleep for 6 hours a day hahahahahaha
The water in Singapore, I kid you not, is processed water from everybody's toilet bowl. But not to worry, it's safe to drink 😅
Nah ... that's wayyyy too simplified 😂
That's how the system works in pretty much every country. Water goes through a purification process.
The processing is very advanced and the water that comes out is super clean and used for factory processes iirc. They also release a whole lot back into the reservoir to mix with the minerals there. :)
Yes it is true. Impressive indeed
through the new water plant
Bahahahah it’s so true, here I am watching you guys at 3:16am!! It’s in our blood lol
Welcome to SG ❤ hope you enjoyed your time here and tried our local food. Hope to bump into both of you next time.
I'm transiting in Singapore, but unfortunately the service at the airport is less friendly.
Singapore is amazing
most people in Singapore sometimes work really late so that's probably why people don't sleep. you should try going to the hawker centers they have really good local food
Work late, but not efficiently. Hence companies take advantage of these folks
Yes as a Singaporean, we rlly like it here
Cars here are very expensive so they can manage the number of cars on the roads, this is to reduce the number of traffic jams, and to reduce the emissions from cars. Not only that though, driving into certain areas will charge you extra, and parking, depending on where you are, can be EXPENSIVE
Even in residential areas they'll charge you for parking if you don't have a season pass! But as you said the public transport is AMAZING and we're pretty well connected :)
Im glad you enjoyed Singapore, and I hope you visit again! As expensive as it can be.
Also here's a tiny lil tip for those who plan on coming:
Want to eat fast food?
Enter more residential areas, they food there is much cheaper.
Want to go to a supermarket?
Look for NTUC/Fair price :)
Cold Storage can be much more expensive, but you're paying for quality so it's up to you:)
200k for a Prius Thas insane
That's just for the car alone. You are required to obtain a Certificate of Entitlement (COE) which is at least an additional ~$100k (price fluctuates due to bidding) for 10 years of rights to own the car 😀
after that you gonna have to bid again and win, or say gg to your vehicle
Whatever you just said, makes Malaysia 280% better. Singapore is so stressful, people are competitive and judgmental af.
Don’t think so.
... haha... says the Malaysian. Go and google and you'll see for yourself how much salty, bigoted, hateful speech made by M'sians about Singapore and Singaporeans. Singaporeans on the other hand, have nothing but praise for the food, lifestyle, M'sians and many have M'sian spouses here and wish to retire in Malaysia.
Please lah, you Malaysians need to accept your lot, start fixing your problems in your country and stop using Singapore and all things Singaporean as a punching bag for your sad problems. Man up.
As an asian-canadian, people are so nice to you because you speak in a western accent. Be brown and speak with an Indian accent, you'll see the change in attitude. The amount of casual racism here is insane.
i agree. i’m indian and i used to live in singapore when i was 4-7 years old. i recently went there on vacation and the amount of casual racism towards me and my family was insane, i don’t think i realised when i was little though.
maybe it’s because i’m younger but i felt like i (who speak in a western accent) and my parents (who speak in indian accents) were treated quite different as well.
i can validate, no one here sleeps and we’re in secondary school 🤗🤗
I wish I can take my special someone on a trip like this 😞
If u hop over to Malaysia things are 3 times cheaper yo! Anyone can buy the lastest s class hybrid 2023 edition for only rm700k ( less than usd160k ) as msian govt gives a huge tax break for electric/semi electric cars
everything but the money issues is true. we ARE really2 expensive.
it’s whats NOT in the water, many places have hard water, meaning there are a lot of minerals in the water that cause issues
“Early worms” 😂😂😂👌
Ask the Secondary and JC students if they know what sleep is
Hahaha😂
Whereabouts do you guys stay at! You should visit the cafes, local scene is pretty good
WELCOME TO SG ! Hope you like it here♡
They arent called napkins in Simgapore....they call it tissue
Serviettes
@@johcx1994Yes. Singaporeans call it serviettes. In the Philippines they call it napkin.
Kinda the same as Malaysia for not sleeping but if you text me it takes forever to reply
cars are a luxury. they're taxed heavily to reduce air pollution. so on top of the car price, car owners will need to pay for certificate of entitlement (coe). also I think napkins are just a society thing? there's free and clean toilets everywhere, just wash whatever you need napkins for?
Omg welcome to Singapore guys! ❤
I love Singapore...❤..
I love Singapore she is the most beautiful in the world
The water in most of Asia is soft water. Hair is softer, smoother, shiner and less likely to shed so you have each hair strand for a longer cycle. Skin is less dry and retains moisture. 😍 NA tends to use hard water so all the minerals in our water get deposited back into our hair and skin leaving it much drier to the touch. You can always buy filters to fix this problem. 😄 Either a filter for the water tank system in a house or individial filters for each shower. It's why I love going to Asia. The humidity in the air is so nice too and I love being able to walk around.
as a singaporean, I’m so glad to watch this.
Even as a secondary school student in Singapore,i sleep like 4-6hrs a day
There is just so much stuff to do
Singapore is great ! Welcome to pay a visit to Malaysia !
As a Singaporean I think i love Malaysia environment more, the people are more down to earth kind. There are pros and cons between them both but if one is looking for a friendly environment I would pick msia
Singaporean hustle a lot because the standard of living is crazy.
I just had lunch with a couple from Singapore. It sounds like an amazing place, I can't wait to visit and see it for myself!
Whoo Hoooo!!!!
Welcome To Singapore!!
Prepare your wallets, shit gets real expensive and very tiring 😫 😩
Everyone is so nice and friendly?????? I don’t think so. Auntie’s and Uncle’s in SG hates everyone.
You have to dress smart for the aunties and uncles to be nice to you.
True… friendly? Are you kidding me😂
