Boffenl, thank you for your post. Was it easy for your child to get a spot in the school? May I knwo which school? I am looking for a elementary school for my children, grade 3 and 5. I have been calling and sending emails to the shcools (Tanjong Katong and Radin Mas) with no success. Do you know wh...

Anyone knows about Radin Mas school? I was told by our agent that it is a good schoolin district 4. What I meant by good school is a well balanced, no canning, have a good number of international students. Any info would be much appreciated.

Thank you.

I just returned to Singapore from the United States with my dog. I did everything myself so if anyone has any questions, please ask. Most of the process is straight forward but a little time consuming. I think the most confusing part was going from the airport to the temporary quarantine facility. ...

Do widen your choices beyond SJI and ACS. There are many local schools that are just as good and which aren't as difficult to get admitted into.

Hi Madura,

Do you have the name of these good schools?

Thank you.

Very interesting postings, just what I need, thank you! We will be moving to Singapore next month, Jan 09. My kids are 8 and 10 years old, a girl and a boy, grade 3 and 5, here in US. We are considering district 4 and 2 for our home (both my husband and I will be working in Sentosa Island). We would...

Yes, this makes it really hard. We are moving to Singapore in January. We have 2 kids, 10 and 8 years old. I like this forum and the information provided on Singapore Expat web. However, it is hard to start my search for place to live if the price is '0'. Both my husband and I are working on Sentosa...

Dear All, does anyone know where I can find Environ Skin Care products or which spa carries this line?

After considerable research I believe we will bring the pets over on Northwest via Tokyo - as excess baggage. About $600 per dog, $130 per cat. A question for anyone - did you have a letter from your landlord stating that they allowed pets? Is this really required? Did anyone ask during the import ...

I don't think so. I am a newbie my self, the link has provided me with ample information, enough to narrow down my options, gives me general ideas on what to expect in terms of cost vs areas, different types of properties, etc. From there you can ask this forum for more specific questions. It is mor...

We are not sure if the company will pick up the tab or not. I am just wondering if there is a more economical option than go with the full package quoted by pet mover companies. I have conctacted PetHotel Singapore or Pet Mover Singapore, they can assist with the import with much lower cost than the...

We are moving from US to Sing next Jan 09. My 4 legged family members are a cat and a flat coated retriever. I have gone through the pet-related threads and got loads of information, thank you. I have also contacted pet movers, they quoted me close to USD7000 for the total cost, air fare, quarantine...

Very ... very helpful. Thanks to all. I have now have a better picture of what to pack and what items are up for garage sale. We will most probably be staying around Asia for the next 5-7 years.

Hi! My son is 9 ( will be 10 in july). He is in grade 4 in ERIS. In Canada he would be also in Gr 4 by now. BTW the school is good:) Glad to hear that you and your child is happy with the school. I have emailed them twice now and receive no reply, yikes! Do you know if they have waitlist in grade 5...

Hi, we will be moving to Singapore this summer. Was wondering if we should bring my kitchenaid stand mixer (I use it a lot and would hate to leave it behind but there will be issues with the voltage) and a bbq grill? It is a large propane grill, not sure if it will fit on most homes. Do we really ha...

Hello, we will be moving to Singapore this summer. I use MD Formulation for my skincare and Jane Iredale for make up. I was wondering if if those two brands are available anywhere in Singapore. Otherwise, I will stock up. Thanks.
