'fraid of boredom

[NewArrival]

I'll be moving to Singapore in a months time from the UK. I've got a full time 9-5 Mon- Fri job lined up but still worried I'll be bored in the evenings.  Could anyone tell me how easy it will be for me to tutor English in the evenings?

[well...]

but isn't that what drinking is for..... oh you have a lot to learn about SG

[Speak proper]

Is it really easier to type 'fraid than afraid?

[u've arrived]

Go to Orchard Towers in the evenings. It's a great place to be bored I can tell you!

[9 - 5???]

Aren't you the lucky one?  Monday - Friday, 9 to 5!!!  I didn't think those jobs existed in Singapore!  I suppose you may be a bit bored after a while 'cause everyone else will be working longer hours.  

Seriously though, I am sure there are lots of tutoring positions available and there is good money to be made out of it.  Check the local paper once you arrive, there are usually quite a few numbers to call to register yourself as a tutor.  I have a couple of friends who have ventured down this path.  Good luck.

Thanks 9-5??,  finally a serious reply!! Its actually 8.30 till 5.30 job but 9-5 sounds better.

[heh heh heh]

Better wait and see if you really do get off work at 5.30 pm sharp.

And if you do, let us know where you work  .  .  .

[Fact of life]

Sadly it is true.

There are plenty of people here who could complete all their work in a few hours a day, but dedication is measured not by what you try to achieve, but by how long you can remain glued to your desk.

Hahaha, guess I must be one of the few lucky ones that WILL be able to leave on time- the fact is the job doesn't allow you to work over!
Well it does have its pros and cons ofcourse!

[Personal View]

Being bored has got nothing to do with where you are.  It's about who you are.

Some people can be bored an unhappy in NYC - others can be happy an fulfilled in a pokey little country town.

There is heaps to do and see - friends to make, a community to engage with and another culture to explore.  If you are bored it's gonig to be your own fault.

Are you a happy and outgoing person where you are now?  If so dont worry you'll be fine.
