BedokAmerican - THANK YOU. You have some great suggestions - especially the Benadryl. We're pretty lucky knowing this is coming (BTW: a little '+' appeared) and getting to bring things from the States to Singapore beforehand. Definitely will be doing some online shopping now.

Morning everyone. I'll be moving to Singapore in the summer and having a baby in the new year. What things should I make sure to have in my shipment from the States? Things like a crib / stroller are obvious ones. But if you could make a mater list of things to bring to Singapore if space wasn't an ...

Thanks for your reply. I've heard about how Singapore kicks some things butt with the humidity - leather being one of them. Hopefully this one will hold up ok. Cheers.

Silly and Quick question;

We're shipping our furniture and we have a largeish sofa; 90" (228cm) long and 36" width (90cm) and 36" height (90cm). Will that have problems getting into a typical apartment in Singapore? Any thoughts? Thanks!

Hi guys! Quick question - I'm moving to Singapore and am bringing a 90inch sofa. Do you think this fill fit into apartments? I've had issues in the past not being able to fit furniture into a new place - how are service elevators in Singapore? How is getting big things into apartments generally? Tha...

I'm bringing my Cocker Spaniel (and wife - we're in our 30's) to Singapore and wanted to know the best place / area to live. I know I know - base on where you are living around a furry animal? Yup that's us. I'll be working in the East but I'm ok with commuting. We probably will want to be near the ...

Like many of the expats in Singapore I get a housing allowance. Does anyone have any thoughts on actually buying an apartment with that money and using it for the mortgage? Is this a common thing? I'll be in Singapore for at least 5 years. Any feedback welcomed.

Thanks for the responses. 'We' are a couple in our 30's and plan to be in Singapore for about 5 years. I've read a lot about the mold in the forums and that's a good point. I guess what we're pondering is bringing things such as dehydrators, juicing machines, blenders, espresso machines (we have con...

The joys of moving; Quick Questions;

1. Any moving company recommendations from SF / Bay Area?

2. Should we bring a good bed and mattress? We're torn on bringing our 'stuff' like our TV, stereo system etc.

Thanks for any quick responses.
