Thanks! I just might join the coffee mornings! That's a great opportunity to ask my questions...

Hi! Lived in Japan for 6 years, but have just recently dipped my fingers into their make-up. First of all, Japanese brands are mostly high-quality. They live for nothing but making their products the best. So if you notice, their powders are very very fine and made of the most recent, cutting-edge r...

Hi! We have been in Singapore since January and we just found out we're expecting our 2nd baby! I have yet to confirm by a visit to a doctor, but need a venue to find out how to start picking my OB GYN and birthing practices/options in Singapore. (Before I get hooked to seeing the same OB I would vi...

Hi there. Just arrived in Singapore a few weeks ago and I'm starting to stress about my 3 year old daughter's schooling. Just wondering if some of you might know about Eton House? Our priority is for her to pickup Mandarin, and enjoy playing while she can. We'll rethink about her academic curriculum...

Dear Vaishali, That was a very insightful reply you had posted. I personally think that it gives me a better understanding of how to tackle this little dilemma that keeps niggling in my mind. And for giving me a little more peace of mind, a great big Thank You. As you say, it comes from someone who'...

Hi Tiger,

Keeping the books/DVD for the next baby tho. It's easily available online if you're upto it. Might have used copies too for a discount if you're really interested.

Goodluck and I hope you find one!

I had used baby sign language when my 3 year old daughter was a baby, and its absolutely rewarding. My only reference was Sign with Your Baby, a book/dictionary and video set I bought over amazon.com by Garcia. Another reference you might want to use is the Talking Hands video/DVD. Also bought over ...

Hi Kiwi,

The St. George's playgroup sounds really interesting. How does one go? Do we just show up?

It's nice to know there are these playgroups in Singapore too. We're a bit nervous about moving, and these forums really do help.

Thanks for taking the time!

Thank you everyone. We are moving to Singapore in December and your postings have been very informative. Seriously.

Kiwi, would love to hear the stories you mentioned about local and international schools.

If budget wasn't a problem, where would you all prefer to send your children to school?

Hi! We are moving to Singapore sometime late December or early next year...and I am also looking into moms and toddler groups. I heard that a lot of playgroups are held with the nannies with the kids, and I'm hoping there are other stay at home moms who want to have a cup of coffee while the childre...

I am so relived to find other SAHMs in Singapore! We are moving in from Tokyo (where everyone is a stay at home mom) and we've heard that most playgroups in Singapore are mainly held with nannies and children...no moms! We are originally from the Philippines, and we have a 3 year old daughter. I've ...
