SINGAPORE EXPATS FORUM
Singapore Expat Forum and Message Board for Expats in Singapore & Expatriates Relocating to Singapore

For infant and junior years both would be just fine. You seem to have covered off most of the significant differences already. You will find Australian teachers and teachers of many other nationalities at both schools. Its a personal choice based on your situation. Either way they will get a great s...

I just bought a couple of KDK brand ceiling fans from Paris Silk in Hollland Village. $170 for a pair. I've always found Paris Silk prices competitive and they are prepared to match prices even though they are smack in the middle of expat zone.

Thanks for the replies. That makes sense. I was hoping to achieve a good result with elbow grease, minimal tools and expense as it's a rented property. I guess I can still do the prep work - killing weeds and leveling.

I'll see what FEF have to say.

Before taking possession have an EMA LICENCED electrician do a full inspection. Having recently taken over a SLA house I felt it worth passing on my experience to others considering doing the same. In the last year or so the contracts between tenant and landlord (SLA) have changed from where previou...

We just moved into a SLA house. The lawn areas (approx 80sqm total) are a disaster. Basically just weeds growing on clumpy uneven earth. I want to start a new lawn from scratch. My basic plan is to spray Roundup to kill everything. Then somehow level everything off, add some decent topsoil, grass se...

The Singapore Civil Defence Force are still engaged recovering bodies along the Japanese Coastal areas as a result of the recent Tsunami. Why not get a rubbish bag, collect up the offending shoes and burn them your self? This way you save the Singapore Civil Defence force a job and at the same time ...

QRM. If I ever get to HK I will surely seek out the name of your amigos! ....pay the money and let them worry about it. None of this "We will set it up, but then you need someone to do trunking, someone else to do calibration", buy this really, really expensive HDMI cable etc. For me its a big purch...

I had to look that one up on the "Talking Cock" website. The perfect analogy.....also one might as well offer 12k to a squid. Maybe the squid would appreciate it more!

I completly agree Pripps. The staff there seem completely disinterested. I have been in Singapore for 18 months now and I just don't understand what is going through the heads of sales/service staff here. I wonder are they arrogant, ignorant or just plain vacant?

I finally have a green light to purchase a state of the art home theater system after many years of being torpedoed by my better half. My budget for all components including plasma screen is about $12000. I keenly studied up on the latest kit and trotted off to Audio House Liang Court armed with mod...

Try Fairprice online look for sub heading"morries" plenty of reasonable cheap safes there and delivered as well.

The way I understand it is if we were to break the contract by moving out mid-term then we would be liable to the landlord for the remaining months of rent. So does the same not apply to the landlord when he breaks the contract by selling mid-term with vacant possession to the new owner?

We have been informed verbally by our landlords agent that our apartment has been sold with vacant possession given to the new owner who intends to move in - in about two months time. We have not yet received official notification (by letter) from the landlords lawyer. The agent did not discuss any ...

Cbavasi,

Thanks, the information was great.

Just wait until the casinos open in Singapore. Then you will see a sharp increase in crime at all levels. From organized crime / money laundering right down to the average joe stealing his neighbors $200 Nikes to sell and play the slot machines. I hope the extra tourism it brings will justify the do...
