Hi Nivan,

welcome to Singapore (if you decide to relocate here, that is). You can purchase private properties with 3-4 bedrooms, maybe like condos or private apartments but you can't apply for HDB. You can also rent instead of buying if you are just staying here for a short period of time.

The cost of living isn't very high and transportation is excellent, thus 2 cars may not be needed... the MRT service is highly efficient. For domestic help, you will be pleased to know that there are many, i mean really many maid agencies over here and monthly cost is definately below $1K. Groceries wise, we have multiple supermarkets within any area so you can be stocked up anytime.

Entertainment scene; we have major tourists' attractions like the Formula One Night Race in Singapore this month and the Singapore Flyer or even the Zoo is great... You won't really feel bored cos' entertainment is 24 hours. Singapore is well known to be very safe and a trip to the 7 Eleven even at 3 am won't get you into trouble.

Hope i gave you a hint of Singapore... Cheers!
