Rules of Bedroom Golf 1. Each player shall furnish his own equipment for play. 2. Play must be permitted by the owner of the hole. 3. Unlike outdoor golf, the object is to get the club in the hole and keep the balls out. 4. For most effective play, the club should have a firm shaft. Course owners a...

Oh well, I'll try and add some value... I would have needed some amazing reason to keep paying UK taxes. You will pay much less here and you can complete a form with the IR in the UK to declare you're not a tax resident there for now (form number escapes me!) - Also, completing tax returns here is a...

Below S$2,500 there's normally a 50:50 split with the landlord.

Above S$2,500 the landlord pays the lot.

Unfortunately, there are agents who will do as described by rob w. Not much consolation to rob but what goes around typically comes around!!!

To be honest, nearly everbody can survive without a car in Singapore and, yes, they are expensive but toddlers "support equipment" is dealt with much so much easier if you can throw it into the car! If you are going to be here for a short while then leasing is tempting but of course you pay for conv...

With the MASSIVE caveat that I am no tax expert I cannot see any reason why you would have to pay since probably you will be resident for tax purposes in Singapore and there is almost certainly a double tax treaty in place with Ireland. The IRAS website has loads of info. Others may not agree, but I...

2nd floor of the Concourse shopping centre (Beach Road) has a number of party shops with a whole range of things that won't break the bank. If you're looking for something themed to a popular character like say Spiderman (maybe not for a 1 year old!) then you might struggle there but we got everythi...

Agree with mothbhai about Dr Siva at Kinderclinic in Paragon. He has great with our son and his technique is so good there aren't even any tears when it's vaccination time, although maybe that's because he's so focused on the toys e's playing with! :-) Also, when our little one had a very high fever...

I guess it depends on which medical insurance provider you have. We were covered through AETNA Global because my company is US owned and pregnancy was treated like any other medical condition, so we had a 10% co-pay which saved us something in excess of S$10K when you include all of the pre-natal st...

Sorry this reply is a bit off topic!.... Will the school be the international type or local? Local schools are good but hard to find places in half-way through the school year (Jan-Nov) so if local is your answer you need to be pestering the schools right now! - You can get all of their info by goin...

Should be less than 30 minutes for sure. I go from the other side of Bayshore to Novena each day along the ECP and 20-30 mins is the norm.

Harbourfront shouldn't be any more difficult - Of course this assumes driving or taxi!
