The public transport from the reservoir is actually pretty good. The forest adventure is massively expensive. Check if the condo has a bus going into or near your workplace. There are all sorts of private buses. Youwouldnt know about this until reading the notice boards. it is easy to get taxis when...

Hi there. Living close to work has its benefits in Sg as the work hours can be long. We live out where you are and cycle to work on the footpaths. If you do, be prepared to get drenched occasionally as the weather is unpredictable. So long as your condo and workplace have safe places to store your b...

This is embarrassing, but I cannot understand the graph above. I assume the y axis is indicating something about the number of cases each week in the years. Is this new cases per week, or total number of people suffering dengue per week? How do we add it up for a full year? I assume it is for each w...

I was out walking at night and between getting caught up in a conversation, ignorance and darkness , didn't realise what I was walking into till it was too late! Mind you, it was the time of night I usually walk and it had never happened before, so I was not thinking about the possibility. It then h...

Yes, I really was serious. My paranoia was not overly helped by hearing a podcast recently about the incidence of Parkinson's in Australian farmers who had been exposed to chemicals and then to add the warning that arrived the next day in my in box from the Australian government, well that was the t...

This was an unexpected fogging at a time and place I have been to repeatedly. I can only assume I will get caught out, or a loved one will, and would like to know the correct procedures.

I got caught in fogging yesterday. I came home and showered, but was clueless as to what I should have done. During and after the event. Does anyone know what the safeguards are if I get caught out again? The Australian government traveller warning page for Singapore actually warns about the toxicit...

thanks for the quick reply

As ours is only a visa debit card, i don't think linking is an option. Getting a credit card involves my husband having the time to be at the bank, as his is the employment pass. And time he doesn't have. I will look into you recommendation.

Hi. I have done a search within the forum and I have googled my time away and even tried ringing acquaintances (who are not answering the 'phone). So i come to post... We are not long in Singapore and ready to make our first (of at least 3)oversea trips. We just have a DBS debit VISA card. We need t...

Any suggestions for playgrounds in the eastern part of the island suitable for a range of ages, say two to thirteen years? Can be as far out as changing, and can be in the heartlands, too. Thanks

I see, I noted the paid ads and didn't keep scrolling. I understand that there re places where people put up ads on walls. Anywhere on the east coat anyone can think of? Can I just walk up to a condo and ask to see a notice board? As to buying a used mattress, after spending most of this year on hot...

I have tried Craig's list, gumtree and the classifieds here of course, and tried googling second hand furniture. Does anyone have any tips for where to buy second hand furniture, namely beds and lounge suites. I am guessing there are people moving on wanting to sell their gear, but i haven't had a l...

thanks. i was beginning to think we were asking the impossible.

some recommendations are sought about where to live if one kid is at uwc east and the other at australian international school. thanks
