I have been happy with their products.

Depending on how long you anticipate living in SG, I would suggest considering an option different than furnished housing. While there may be some nicely furnished locations, many have "not so nice" finishes. - buying the basics from ikea-like stores and donating as you leave - leasing furniture of ...

Glad to see that you have identified school options. Some people coming from the States insist on sticking with the American curriculum.

My first reaction to education is that company is only paying part of the cost. Now I think in terms of SGD rather than USD, so maybe I am not taking into account the currency exchange. As a reference, check tuition on Stamford American International School and Singapore American School. That will s...

Me gustaría mejorar mi español. Soy hablante de inglés. Puedo juntar entre las horas de 9 y 13, un día entre lunes y viernes. Sirve?

When it comes to soccer, there are many options. From clubs like ANZA, ISA, and JSSL. How old is your child? Boy/girl? Rec or select?

I agree with everything posted so far on these posts, that it is a challenge to get proper support for kids at the international schools in SG. Original poster asked about support for epilepsy. Would that entail more learning support or medical action plan? I know of one large for-profit school that...

Trying to figure out what schools can and will work with students who need different supports is tricky in Singapore. I am a fellow frustrated mom. At a social event, I met someone who worked for 'live and learn.' I wish that I had paid for their consulting support prior to figuring out schools on m...

Yes, soccer here is different and the level of play and the emphasis on winning is much higher. The footwork of the 6 year olds blows me away. Well have a select girl footballer so at her level and age, JSSL-Arsenal was the one option. Other clubs are fielding serious boy teams. Once you are here, y...

Would dispraxia fall under

"diagnosis of a language based learning disability or difficulty?"

If so, also put winstedt school on your short list to consider.

Boxed cake mixes. Child can read 'recipe', measure water, tell me when to stop pouring oil, pour in dry mix, stir, etc. Need multiple cups of dry ingredient...rice, flour, etc. great kid job. You may have to pour ingredient in bowl to scoop from. Proud to assemble own cold deli sandwich. Run blender...

Our movers would not pack everything as well, but I pushed back. Had learned of the possibility from other expat family. As soon as we were in disagreement, I called the relo agent who then called moving company. Moving company had packing guidelines to work for various countries. My relo agent clar...

If you find them annoying as I did, find a way to skip them or minimize or incorporate as a party activity. As I write this I remember that you are talking about a very young party. Didn't do a kids party until 4 or 5 years old. So the. Kids may have decorated cookies and took their creations home, ...

12 oz or 370 ml of maple syrup costs about 16. SGD. But I don't think that it is shelf stable enough to come by sea container. I regret the bottles of syrup that I had in the freezer and gifted rather than bring along. But at least someone got to enjoy rather risk the spoilage.

It is not about the $ but the type of experience and what is better enjoyed by the kids...congestion and queuing and overload of noise in a large exhibit space or the freedom of riding my bike and seeing the cool planes while sitting on the rocks or the sand. It is about what they will enjoy more.
