Paul Tseng still does do homebirths but with certain conditions to be met. (he's my gynae)

As far as I know water births have not been 'approved' at Thomson Medical.

well, I sure wouldn't want to be the first person caught!

would love to see you here soon!

I think its kinda hard for most S'poreans to really take on DIY projects. Where in a small HDB flat would you find the space to actually build something. All the more so, if you have kids running around and getting in the way. I've wanted to start projects before but never really did because of the ...

yup, when the orders come down from the top (to enforce a particular rule), then the nearest scapegoat gets it... a good example would be the hijacking of wireless broadband that happened recently.

It serves as an example to the general public...

huggybear, welcome to Singapore! its been interesting reading all the comments about our culture... especially about the lack of queues. Because, if you were to cross over to our nearest neighbour, many times the people in the queue at restuarants or hotels are S'poreans... but you are right, when i...

I've also seen them sold at the Furniture Mall along Beach Road

the "Millionaire Mind" is also a very good read!

to me it sounds lovely... but then I'm a stay at home mom so any income is lovely.

I think you'll have to take into consideration your expected lifestyle, where you're going to live, what kind of job conditions you want... the list goes on. Think hard.

are you looking to place your children in a goverment school or a private one? I notice you have ang mo kio as your location in the profile but are asking for schools in Serangoon area. Here's a link - http://www.singapore-school.com/index_files/Page426.htm - to schools around there. Off hand, Rosyt...

Hi, Singapore just had its first 'water birth' at Mount Alvernia hospital. It isn't a normally accepted thing to do. Very new actually. I'd suggest you get in touch with Ginny Phang. She's a doula at Four Trimesters . She'd be able to help you out in terms of finding a gynae who is pro-nonmedicated ...

would love to meet up in the mornings somewhere in the North. I'll be coming with one kid (18mths). The other two will be at school.

Hi hi, no need to look for internet cafes... just get a laptop with a wireless modem... with the roll out of WirelessSG there are many areas that have free wireless service. Just chk the website for more details. As for preschools, there are plenty around. It really depends on what kind you want... ...
