Getting the kids to school

I am looking for a way to get my daughter to and from school. In Canada we had her in a daycare where we dropped her off anytime after 7:00am and picked her up before 6:00pm. The daycare would take her to school and pick her up. They would also feed her lunch. I am not looking for anything quite so ...

Mediacorp is less likely to consider expats for positions than some of the cable channels.

Your best best is to look into the Regional Channels such as:

AXN
Disney
Discovery
National Geographic
ESPN
Asian Food Channel
Nickelodeon

They all have offices in Singapore.

I don't know what to say about the humidity in the bulk of the house but definitely the Thirsty Hippos in the closet is a good start.

I had my first experience with Singapore mold over the past month. It was foul.

The Hippos I bought have helped massively.

Just do a search for Yoga Singapore on Google and you should get lots of options.

I am a member at True Yoga as well and it is way more of a local than expat place.

.... why is that other's who are waiting behind me think it is OK to push in front of me to get in the door? It's only common courtesy that the person closest to the door gets on first. Actually the courtesy is to let the person that arrived at the bus stop first and has had to wait the longest to ...

The crowds getting on the MRT is a good one. Similarly, people getting onto elevators are annoying. Also when I am waiting for a bus and the bus pulls up in front of me, why is that other's who are waiting behind me think it is OK to push in front of me to get in the door? It's only common courtesy ...

If the rent is $2500 and over, the tenant doesn't have to pay any fees. Anything below and the fee is split 50/50 with the owner.

Hi

I can't help you with the movers but as a former Torontonian I should warn you that Toronto in January is COLD.

Make sure you have your warm clothes handy.
