Thanks for the info in the posts. I had no idea pills are more expensive than in Europe and am now in the process of "to take with us" lists. Could you please advise on what to include, especially for the kids? I will buy a few more packs of ibuprophene, something for colds, tummy problems. Some ant...

Hi Shona, Thank you so much for your reply. Had you already looked for an apt. before they released the results, as we are right now? I just don' t want to choose one apt. that will prove farthest from the school. I guess we will pay for... 2 more weeks of hotel/serviced apt. and decide after Dec. 1...

I meant something rather straight forward - you seem maybe not on a very tight but still rather carefully balanced budget while the current requirement for entrepass may involve paid up capital of $S50k and hiring a number of local staff. I obviously took some unintented hints :lol: :oops: . Yes, w...

X 9200, I tried to read as much as possible here, in "business in Sg and the entrepass (many thanks to SE) and the MoM site. I don't have a mind for business :oops:, nor am I very experienced with requirements for visas applications. I admit I have a lot to learn about Singapore and appreciate any w...

P.S. the public school in Sg seems/is much, much better than what we have back home, so it is the right choice for us, not to mention budget. No offence meant for anybody
Many tahnks to posters who gave valuable information here on govt schools!

Hi everybody, We/my daughter took the AEIS test last Oct. And are now keeping our fingers crossed for the results. If there is anyone with previous experience in this field, could you please clarify a couple of issues for me? 1. they say no school transfers will be accepted this year, as school offe...

Thank you, SE :(. I don't know if this is usually a bargaining tool, but I will bring it up as a keen issue for me in my next discussion with them....After all, salary offered seems at the law end as well, at 4k :( , even if I am not a native speaker... I wanted the DPs just to be stress free while ...

Hi all, Long time, but I at least read you regularly :) As our move to Sg is close enough (early December) I thought of giving an update to our plan: - our daughter took the AEIS test to enter Govt. School. She said it was easier than what I had tortured her with the entire summer :lol: (that would ...

GND, you are right, many opportunities to explore for my hubbie. Hope he'll take up his English classes, in intensive mode soon :wink: . In the mean time we'll apply for EPEC on line to have at least one option checked before moving any further. Am I correct in my understanding that if EPEC is appro...

Girl_ Next_ Door , I already put that in my profile, it's Romania, so non-native :cry: speaker of English. But I bet we could catch up fairly easy and become proficient enough in Singlish :wink: Your advice is great, though, as I saw no possibility for a job in demand for him, and my husband is in ...

"The white papers was already set and waiting for the GE result to be set in motion. As it turned out , things did change. I am not sure if this is good thing or not. Eitther way someone will lose out.For all the people here, be prepared for rough times ahead."(JR8). Don't know who wrote that but i...

wow, thanks JR8! hmm, last weekend I was judging by the surface image that PAP won most places, same old,same old.....had no time to deepen the search and after reading this thread I'm :shock: There are 2 posts by SMS and JR8 that keep echoing in my mind and will definitely make me consider even mor...

JR8, SMS, thank you for your replies. Yes, I've chosen LTSVP for moms accompanying children in school, as I've found it on MoE site under international students... SMS, if you could expand on "current climate" re. foreigners? I admit I haven't read too much about it. Actually, only had eyes for ..."...

Hi, everyone :) I'll try and give as much information as possible and I would appreciate it if you could spend some of your time answering this. We would like to live in Singapore for a while, but we decided to use our savings for starters (we like to call that "sabbatical year option" :D ) and see ...

Mumsie,
If you're still around, would you take the time to write an update on the AEIS test, the school MOE sent your daughter to, etc?
I hope both your daughters are happy in school and Singapore now.

Thanks,
Crido
