Went last week and had Marcus cut my curly hair! THE BEST haircut I have had since moving here 2 yrs ago. He did an amazing job cutting and doing highlights in my naturally curly hair. I definitely recommend him!! HE is my hair's new best friend here in Singapore!!!

I was joking about the US dollar amount conversion-sorry I wasn't accurate (will use proper conversion next time)! That would be US $1.31, to be precise.

Great idea to order now and ship to neighbor-thank you. I am new to this whole thing.

Thank you for the advice, as we are going back to the US for Christmas so I will be sure to stock up then (if I can still find summer attire in December ). I am a little leary of any clothing that will cost S$2...too good to be true?? Converted that is like US 50 cents!! :shock: I need it to last at...

Hello. We are new to Singapore and I am looking for an affordable place for clothes for the kids (and myself)?!?! We moved from the USA and I am used to Target, TJ Max, Marshalls, Kohls, etc and I can't seem to find that sort of place here in Singapore. I live in the Orchard area, and I am not going...

CAT777-I also have very curly hair and have just moved here...any suggestions of where to go to have curly hair cut?? Back in the States I went to a hairdresser/owner of a salon who had curly hair herself so she knew how to color/cut it just right. She will highlight some curls, and knows that my ha...

Wanted to re-raise this topic and see if anyone can recommend a Dance School for 9yr old girl. She has been dancing she was 3, and was on a Competition Team in the US-she lives to dance. Looking for a good dance school with ballet/tap/jazz in Singapore. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciat...

We are moving over in a month from the US and have enrolled our 2 kids in SAS, one will be in 4th grade and the other will be in kindergarten. We went over last month to do a house hunting tour, and toured a few of the schools over there. We were very impressed with SAS and actually sat in on a 4th ...

We are moving to Sinapore this summer and are actually here on a househunting trip right now. We took a tour of SAS earlier this week, as we have 2 children that will be going there in the fall for Primary and Intermediate school of SAS. They told us the average size for a class was 20-22 kids. The ...

THANK YOU!! You post was really helpful --we will be coming to Singapore in a week and your reply helped me give more information to our Relocation Realtor that will be showing us around. Nervous about coming over...leaving kids with in-laws....what to pack to wear??....good resteraunts to eat at wh...

Our family is ALSO moving over this summer (July) with 2 kids (5yr old boy and 8 yr old girl) and they will ALSO be going to SAS in the Fall!! :) We are moving from the Boston, MA area. My hubby will be working in the Science Park area--don't really know what part of Singapore that is in, I know it ...

I am concerned about not seeing all those shows PLUS Grey's Anatomy!!

Great question as we are about to move over and I wondered the same thing...Do you get these US shows in Singapore???

I have an 8 year old girl but we won't be moving over until July!! She would love to meet new friends when we move. I will be sure to post you when we arrive-not sure where we will be living (our househunting trip is in a few weeks). How long have you been in Singapore? I am guessing from your name ...

We will be moving over from Boston to Singapore in July and have just recieved word that our two kids got into SAS (we have a 5 year old and a 9 year old). The 5 year old got in immediately,but it seems that the older grades fill up quicker and then they begin the waiting list. Luckily, our 9 year o...

Thank you for posting your update. So glad to hear that the food situation isn't impossible-gives me hope too. When you called the local companies, do they speak English? (I know that may seem like a stupid question, but I wondered how difficult it will be to check the manufacturers about the safety...

We are going to be arriving in July with our 2 kids- 8 year old girl and 5 year old boy, and are relocating from the USA also. We just applied this month to 2 schools in Singapore, had to apply early for fear that they wouldn't get in for the fall. We chose the Canadian International School and the ...
