Order from Amazon and use vpost or borderlinx to ship it to Singapore.

Maybe you can start here?

We shipped everything to Switzerland in containers without a hitch. We had some inexpensive wine which we shipped as well and we were surprised that they turned out fine...

Currently all the Tembusu trees are flowering. You only smell it during the evenings. You will see small clusters of tiny white flowers all over three! It is heavenly!!

try googling catch up tv xinmsn. But they seemed to have restricted access for those outside of Singapore. I was able to watch for a while in Switzerland, but now it is not available to me anymore.

Eau - Recycling does happen, even if it's on a very small scale. Some estates do have recycling bins and they come around every 2 weeks to take all your recyclables. This includes PET, paper, glass and alu. Actually, I really dislike reusable bags. A study has shown that most of reusable shopping ba...

Wrong again. SQ do take pets cargo even for A380s. I just sms my mate's in SQ which handles cargo and he confirmed this. Mad Scientist - I spoke with SQ and they again said they don't take animals on A380s. As per their website : "with the exception of live tropical fish, insects and reptiles, carr...

Thanks for this. I will try calling SQ again!!

I am in the process of moving back to Singapore and have clarified with SQ on their pet policy. SQ now doesn't accept pets as cargo/ excess baggage on their A380s. They won't tell me why, but the pet mover says it has to do with the configuration of the cargo hold/ loading issue. Too bad... Would ha...

There would only be a stopover in Hong Kong if you fly Cathay. I know this is a generally more expensive flight, but you could possibly look at Vancouver-LAX-SIN.

fatuitas, I moved my 3 pets out of Singapore 2 years ago and was told that Cargo is the much more expensive option compared to Excess Baggage. But I believe the price is also dependent on the airline as well as sector (US bound flights are much cheaper compared to Europe). We flew our pets on SQ (so...

I have nothing but praise for mutts and mittens! We adopted our 2 dogs from there and they helped us to move our dogs to Switzerland. If I am not mistaken, the money they make from boarding pets is put back into their rescue and fostering of those animals in need. Please don't associate them with th...

If you have a sunny spot - bougenvilla will add a wonderful burst of color. Not sure if you have kids, but bougenvillas do have thorns. Coleus also add lots of color, but won't reach shrub height. Check out the nurseries along Thomson Road. If you are adventurous, you can always check out World Farm...

Had to jump in, I don't believe there is any extra work I do with my daughter who attends a local school than I would if she attended a school in Maryland, USA. The amount of work is dependant on the school; it varies greatly from one school to another. I know this for a fact from comparing my chil...

I believe you can post most website links, however, due to copyright issues with the local newspapers ( ST, and it's affiliates which includes AsiaOne) , I don't think the board here wants to have any potential issues, hence the removal of the link.
