SINGAPORE EXPATS FORUM
Singapore Expat Forum and Message Board for Expats in Singapore & Expatriates Relocating to Singapore

Just to give you a rough idea if you wanted to look at apts away from the school, we live just behind Orchard and our bus leaves for Lakeside at 7.45 and returns at 4.10. My kids are 8 & 4 and they both love the bus as it gives them a little down time with their friends or to read and my youngest ha...

La Villa River Valley Road - $65 adults buffet (I think kids are around $20) plus free flow prosecco (for adults!!). Plus bouncy castle for the kids. Fab value for money and you can sit overlooking the kids whilst they play. Huge green area for them to run too.

My daughter attends Little Village on Grange Road and has an absolute ball! I would say it is a more 'local' nursery but with a good mix of expats thrown in the mix. She has 1 local 'english' teacher and 1 Mandarin teacher (speaking only mandarin) in class - she comes home having learnt some lovely ...

I can thoroughly recommend the Canadian School, my 7yr old son attends the Toh Tuck campus - bear in mind that they will be moving next October to the new Lakeside campus at Jurong West and the new school / facilities look great. If it's on your list then it may be worth a drive over for a look - I ...

Hey there - we live just off River Valley (Leonie Hill) and my 3yr old daughter attends Little Village on Grange Road - she is extremely happy there and they have just invested a huge amount into renovating the premises. PM me if you would like any more details!

sillybandz.com.sg - I have purchased them from this lady, Kate - she is lovely!

Where can I go to purchase some reasonably priced bikini's?? I'm talking less than $30 (don't laugh!!)........?? Thanks!

Looking for family friendly recommendations for ski-ing in Japan or NZ. Would require ski-school for the children - any advice greatly appreciated, thanks!

Whilst I dont attend with my kids, I personally attend Chiropractic First in Great World City - although they do have centres throughout the city. They appear to be a very family forward practice and there are always children in there when I attend.
Good luck!

There's quite a few soccer / tennis / gym camps around turf city. A google search should come up with most.

There is a bead / jewellery findings shop in The Heeren - new mall on Orchard. I think it's on the 3rd/4th floor.

OK - so why don't I organise a playdate at my place for Thurs afternoon? Say 2pm - I seem to be unable to pm people so email me at if you live around GWC area and want to come along.

Does anyone know if it's possible to take my helper on vacation to HK? If so, what paperwork do I need?

Thanks

Indeed - welcome to Singapore! We arrived a month ago and live around the corner from GW. pm me if you want to meet for coffee - I have a 6yr old boy (at school) and 2 yr old girl who would love a new little playmate!

We're a British family moving from HK to SG in a few weeks and I wondered if anyone fancied meeting up for coffee & playdates (and possibly the occasional G&T after mum's hours!)? My hubbie will be working in Great World City and we will be living in the Leonie Hill area - my 2 kids are 6 (boy) & 2 ...
