We're exploring schooling options and I was hoping for some other parents' personal experiences. For those that send their kids to local schools, do the kids end up speaking in Singlish? Does it make a difference if you speak straight English at home and require your child to speak properly? I guess...

We have some cold weather outfits at home for 12-18 months. We're not likely to use any of these anytime soon any longer as my son is already close to 24 months. Let me know if you're interested. Also, not sure how big your child is ...

There are several ACS schools, they are all affiliated with each other. ACS International = international school ACS Independent + ACS etc... = local schools I would recommend for you to check out Saint Joseph International School, Overseas Family School, or Chatsworth because you mentioned about so...

As a followup to my previous post, I also am curious why UWCSEA is highly sought despite being PYP and DP only, not MYP (ages 11-16). My main concern is PYP, with possibility of reaching until middle years, hence slightly also concerned about MYP. Reference: http://www.ibo.org/school/search/index.cf...

I'm trying to decide whether to put in the sum for a waitlist in the UWCSEA (east) slot for my son in the infant school. I was wondering if someone could help me understand why UWCSEA is the most popular and waitlisted school in SG? I understand it has to do with their academics, but in the absence ...

Congratulations on your pregnancy and soon to be delivery! :D I got here when I was around 5 months and I can understand how much more reassuring it will be get your doctors and hospitals lined up esp with a relocation also to manage. Personally, I've had an excellent birthing experience here in Sin...

Don't get me started on Singaporean agents. Scary lot they are... I had to sign up for a lease within 3 months of landing here. Can't explain how much pressure that was for us, on top of my being 7-mos pregnant at that time. Anyway, suffice to say we got promised a vacant unit (it was captured black...

Since my husband working on Orchard road, 3 areas is being considered: 1,orchard, but only can rent apartment, which has no pool,no pla...

Dont even bother computing the net-worth of a carseat because its absolutely one of those must-have priceless equipments they need. You will not be able to hold on to the infant in case of an accident. In fact even if there wasnt an accident, the baby will not be able to handle jerky movements as ea...

My son's allergic to cow products, so I've had to be really careful reading and understanding labels ever since he was born. What I can advise everyone here is not to limit your checks to milk drinks only. I've seen my son develop reactions even to seemingly innocuous items like cookies, pastry, sou...

How about the pool at the Gardens at Bishan?

We were seriously considering purchasing a property until I came upon this old archived article from Google News. Amazing how things here in SG today sound so similar to 1997. Makes me appreciate the government here more... I guess this means we just need to bite the bullet and pay rent for at least...

About the shiny head, I'd consider putting some matte moisturizer with a little spf on that if I were you... Unlike lizards, human skin is not thick enough to handle the sun's radiation.

It took me 3 reads before I understood your posting...

I think seeing lizards in my home make me panic because I associate them with dirt... Which means my house needs extra attention and I'm not doing a good enough job cleaning up.
