Forgot to add, don't discount the East Coast because of having no car. A car is a very expensive luxury unless provided as part of your package. The MRT system is fantastic, and very easy to use, and taxis are relatively cheap (I know they have gone up recently) but as an example, we went from Orcha...

From advice I have read & been given bring bras & knickers - unless you a tiny wisp of a thing and like the padded look (I don't need any extra help!), sunscreen, broadbrim hats from kmart, target & big W. bathers for yourself as it seems there is not alot of choice in the mid range and they only la...

Hi RIP, trip last week was great - must have brought the rain with me though, and the sun did not come out until the afternoon I was leaving! As one of our children is already in school, Katong did not 'encourage' us to apply as learning mother tongue would have been a huge issue. Most of the childr...

Lee, would love to discuss Chatsworth East with you further. Hubby & I will be visiting the school 22nd August as well as Tanjong Katong. Our son is in Yr 1 in Oz at the moment, and #2 is in Kindy.
