1. Pace yourself or you'll be spent by 2pm
2. Always stay hydrated
3. Embrace Singlish, don't fight it, you'll lose
4. Realize you're no longer at home, you're in Singapore
5. Join a local club, immerse yourself
6. Become tolerant to noise, it's better if you are, trust me.
7. Try local dishes, after a while you'll savor the "makan"
8. Bring a sweater (you'll need it in cinema, bus, mall, office etc.)
9. Visit the surrounding countries, they're beautiful
10. Enjoy your stay, you'll miss Singapore once you're back
