Companies typically offer:
- serviced apartments (could be also high-rise condo, i.e. Fraser Suits)
- office space

Got it. Thanks

Not sure what you mean by a management company but I think it is unlikely a company own the whole building solely for the purpose of accommodating their visiting staff. Some units - yes, but I don't think this is that frequent either. Terrace houses are also rather owned by the individuals. There a...

BillyB - thanks for the reply. It's a large global company that I believe uses one agent so maybe that will help our situation? I have noticed in some of the postings that it seems like maybe the contract wasn't read closely enough, but then for other threads, it seems like the landlord either tries...

I've been reading some of the landlord threads and the idea of moving is starting to worry me. It sounds like it's really hard to find an honest landlord. Does anyone have any positive experiences with housing there? We have cats so is it correct that we can't live in a certain type of housing (HDB?...

Less than 6 weeks is a little better :) I'll have to pack a bag of toys and snacks to get her through for that many hours and we'll still have to use videos and cartoons to keep all the other airline passengers from wanting to murder us :o. Were any of your things damaged during transit? How did the...

Sorry, I don't think there's an easy solution for this one. At 18 months she's probably too big for the reclined infant seats that fit with stroller travel systems, so you'd either have to carry the seat with you (a deal breaker for me), carry her on your lap (also a no-go) or take the bus/MRT ever...

Sorry, I forgot to state the age. What about for an 18 mth old? The idea of just holding her in the taxi makes me really nervous and she's already too large to wear in a carrier.

Your shipping company should be able to tell you. We basically did it ourselves--the container arrived on our driveway, my husband filled it and then they trucked it to CA. I believe it's between 6 to 8 weeks. My husband packed the container after I left Indiana then joined me here for a few weeks ...

Great! Thank you again. I'll definitely keep her name handy for when/if we move over.

Thank you so much! I'll put her info in my "Singapore" file. Do any of your cats have health issues? One of mine needs daily medication so do you know if she would be able to do that?

We might be moving to Singapore soon with cats. Does anyone know of a good petsitting service? I use a veterinary nurse from my vet's office now so do the veterinary nurses in Singapore sometimes offer that service?

How do most of you run daily errands with young kids that still need to be in carseats if you don't have your own car? Do you take a taxi and then deal with lugging the carseat around or do you just use public transportation?
ETA: found another thread on pg. 2 with lots of info

Wow, these are great. I hadn't thought about bringing any of this stuff. I don't know why, but it never occurred to me that you could ship food.

What's your experiences with an average shipping time from packing to actual delivery in Singapore (I'm guessing we'll ship over on a cargo boat).

Don't forget your crystal light, tastycakes and ding dongs. My husband also packed our container with Tide detergent since it is VERY expensive here. We've switched to a local brand that is cheaper than in the US. I'd also stock up on cereal if you're passionate about some of the name brand Big "G"...

Photos if BW or color but traditionally processed have some colloidal silver or some silver irons are present and this can be mildly fungicidal or fungistatic - I guess this helps. Paper also often contains some of fungicidal agent. Generally the problems with mold starts here when there it is dark...
