Saving money on haircuts

If you're looking at saving a few bob having a haircut you could let a trainee hairdresser loose on your Barnet. The downside is that it is quite a scary experience witnessing someone cut your hair that looks as if they have never seen a pair of scissors before!

Rules and regulations Rules & Civil Conduct Review

Singapore has a reputation for its rules and regulations. There are posters displayed prominently around the place telling people what to do and what not to do.
There is a need for some, I believe, so that it is clear what is forbidden, such as not eating or smoking on the trains.

However, the Singapore government have taken this one step further and have issued posters on matters that any person with a decent upbringing would not need reminding about.
I don't really need to be told how to use a public toilet, that I must keep it clean and flush after use or that I should not urinate in lifts.

If you are someone that likes to break the rules then watch out because there are stiff fines involved for doing so. Just act like a decent person showing respect to other people and public places and you will not have a problem.

Avoid altercations with glass doors

When entering buildings with glass doors (such as restaurants, shops or a branch of Starbucks near the junction of Scotts Road and Orchard Road) make sure you are paying attention to the door and not looking ahead at the inside of the shop or restaurant.
Failure to do so may result in a collision with the door. The result will be a loud clattering sound that will draw attention to you from passers-by as well as people inside the establishment. This will be embarrasing to you and the resultant cut on your nose may take a while to heal.
