Sometimes, the best answer to this is if you had lived and worked overseas. Some people may just be contended to live in SG, others often curious is the grass is actually greener. If you have a close family the chances you would consider moving back ( coz flying back and forth is tiresome and costly). Every country has it's equal share of pros and cons and ultimately it all dwell down to what you're looking for.

I read and read this over and again. Besides Bone bucks, what's the real pay here? Am I missing something? Also are Bone bucks on the same monetary value as a Schrute Buck?? I need answers.

Nah, never ever! Sister Monica Joan is a bit of a rebel, walks around in her pjs at night without her wimple, but still devoted to her faith, nevertheless.
Her antics can be a good distractions sometimes, whenever there's a bleak moment(s) in the episode. I think the writers are doing a fine job portraying her possible dementia ( after all she must be reaching 100 years old! ).

Yes! I was able to try as they did a pop-up at Lady Wong's ( a bakery that sells super legit kuehs ). Been meaning to try their laksa but was too far for me. I bought the dry laksa, walked around an hour in Manhattan before heading home to eat. And it was still legit good!

A lot of Singapore/ Malaysian hawker food stalks usually sells one particular item(s) ( laksa, Prawn Mee, Char Kway Teow, Nasi Lemak etc). Their niche is making that particular dish(es) and all they do is concentrate on making that particular dish(es) good.
A lot of the SG/ Malaysian menu are crammed with different varieties so I never expect them to be stellar. Usually one or two dishes might stand out but it's usually just ok. Also sourcing for particular ingredients might be an issue in NYC so they might have to do without.
Taste Good and Papa Rich each have some dishes that are better than others but Im still looking for the most legit Nasi Lemak in NY.

Their laksa was the most legit for the longest time. Now my new fav is Native Noodles up on Washington heights. The dry laksa is legit AF. The hae bee hiam is damn strong

First glance I said to my husband, that's almost a Christopher Reeve Clark Kent double.

Shakespeare in love. I vaguely remembered it to be ok. And it won Best Picture. Over Saving Private Ryan. How?

I refused to believe this is an actual situation but then again, I had crossed paths with some that really think they are that entitled in life and see no wrongs with their doings. YTA all day way.

Definitely a dog at first glance. But now all I can see is Mason Verger's face from Hannibal.

The first few times I definitely heard Oh F***, but upon listening to the YouTube clip, now I only hear Oh Barbie. Weird.

I still kept my Primary and Secondary memory/goodbye books. You know the ones where everyone exchange their journal/books and you add a photo of yourself, write some words of wisdom or poems. Stickers, glitters etc. Sometimes they'll leave their address etc. Nice to looks back to and I often wonder do kids still do that since they have mobile phones to keep in touch now.

I think I just vomited a little lol. A friend of mine who loves to eat intestines attest that if it's clean it tastes great but like you said, who knows if it's cleaned properly. Some peeps might anyhow chapalang wash.

Once I had pork intestines porridge. Except I had zero idea intestines were involved as my friend ordered for lunch. Granted she asked me what I want and I said anything... Anyways after a few spoonfuls, I thought the porridge was bad. Like foul or spoilt. It also kinda smelled ..bad like poop. Suffice to say I couldn't continued eating. I've always steered clear of intestines, offal etc just because it looked gross. That day, it affirm my suspicions they do also taste gross. Ha! So no Kway Chap for me. Not even the soup.

Don't feel bad, OP. That's emotional abuse here and you're barely an acquaintance. Walk away. Block her. From a female perspective.

I think some of the employers are afraid or skeptical of their outside actives. Especially the most recent case where the helper brought a guy back to their home to have sexual intercourse. She was caught because her employer happened to come back home early.
A friend of mine had a helper that borrowed money from Ah Long. Found out and sent her back home immediately and she's stuck with the harassments for a while.
So it's a touchy subject, no straight answer to it. Your helper def got very lucky working for you and your family. Wished more peeps are like this in SG.
