How much money would you be transferring?

I am moving from Singapore to Australia on 2nd March. I need to convert my SGD to AUD. If feasible, I am willing to take AUD and give you my SGD. This way, we both can save on exchange rates.

Please pm me.

Thanks.

We have bought entire set of Primary 1 books including Chinese Mother Tongue books. As we're leaving SG, they are not of much use anymore.

Please PM me if you're interested in taking a look.

Thanks boffenl!

Could you elaborate on how you concluded that I abused it?

I never committed to take up PR. Have been paying non-local rates whenever i went to see a doc, schooling etc, all these 13 years.

My son got a spot in cantonment primary as well as the other int'l school. The move is primarily around PEP as it's non renewable.

I've withdrawn my son from primary school as we're leaving for Sydney.

Thanks Amigo & SMS!

I need to clarify here. I haven't received an application for a Long Term EP. What I received was a simple online survey to collect some feedback from those who have been living in SG for more than 10 years, but still haven't taken up permanent residency. The questions were around my experiences liv...

Hi All, As it's coming close to 5 years since PEPs were introduced, I'm wondering whether those initial PEP holders received any letters to become PRs/Citizens or apply for EPs as PEP is not renewable. My PEP expires in early Mar'12. I'm unsure of whether to leave SG or apply for EP. My other collea...

Thanks boffenl. Yeah, some tough choices have to be made in the coming months.

I think technically they didn't register under Ph.3, just late for Ph.2 and on a day they knew they could apply directly at the school. Maybe they didn't know they could actually go any time (or at least I thought they could, after Ph.2 Ballot was complete). I felt sad for the Vietnamese twins and ...

Thanks boffenl. It was exciting to be part of history, as this is the 1st time conducting Phase 3 balloting and it was 1st ever ballot in the history of Cantonment Primary.

Hi Metroguy, the 4 s'poreans who registered under Phase 3 didn't need to go through balloting because they are already in before the places are released for balloting for the foreigners But they took up 4 places out of 46 meant for Phase 3. Otherwise, there wouldn't have been any need for ballottin...

We went to Queenstown primary in the end - waited until the afternoon to see how places were filling up - no ballotting in the end for us, which is a relief - don't think I'd have the nerves to go through this! Funny what you said about Singaporeans registering on Phase 3 - very anti-kiasu... Finge...

Thanks boffenl and scoobydoes,

My son got lucky in balloting

I still don't understand why the 4 s'poreans who registered under Phase 3 didn't need to go through balloting even though it was their fault as they "forgot" to register earlier.
