I don't know if this applies to you, but if you have an Office365 subscription, the OneDrive storage is essentially unlimited (although it shows 10TB). With the integration on your phone/pc, don't worry about the upload speed. Sure, it takes a while when you first sign up, but after that it remains ...

I signed up with ViewQwest a few months back and got a free android-based TV box (similar to HDTV). Pre-loaded with Hulu, Netflix, BBC iPlayer, ITV player, various Korean/Vietnamese/Chinese similar services. I don't do major news or sports TV anyway, so I haven't signed with a TV provider. Does tha...

Also, http://www.petschannel.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; is the best forum for pet-related stuff I've found in Singapore. You may get more help there.

And if you do end up here with them, I would love to meet them

We always had lurchers, rescue/racing greys and whippets back in the UK (with the occasional Irish and deerhound!) so yeah we love the sighthound family :) Not much to add - you'd almost certainly not be able to live in an HDB (not approved). You might be able to appeal and get a temp permit, but th...

Of course if you take car ownership out of the report, Singapore drops to 48th place

Yes, Pathlight takes admissions from Primary school level. So you're not looking for a school at all - you're looking for what is known in Singapore as a Pre-school . You might want to re-phrase your question because all the advice you will get will be wrong. Suggest you take a closer look at the AR...

See if this helps at all... I am not familiar with a mixed typical/special needs school in Singapore, but I am familiar with the following two schools: http://www.edenschool.edu.sg/main/index.php" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Eden is a vocational school for kids with ASD http://www....

I thought we were talking about you-know-who's prostate

Based on various cost-of-living comparison sites, Singapore is anything from 15% to 40% more expensive than Dubai. http://www.numbeo.com/cost-of-living/compare_cities.jsp?country1=United+Arab+Emirates&city1=Dubai&country2=Singapore&city2=Singapore&displayCurrency=SGD" onclick="window.open(this.href)...

Honestly, the nicer buildings are the newer ones, and they tend to be further out of town than the older, mature estates. I say tend to be, there is one obvious exception, The Pinnacle - a design award-winning HDB that has just passed its 5th birthday. (This is significant because there is a Minimum...

That and the fact that if they charge with affray it adds to the crime statistics. Whereas if they are let off, it retains Singapore's "low crime" stats.
Don't forget there is a general erection in the next 18months...the PAP is going to want to brag about their policies keeping crime low

And another thing - your local community centre/GRC might have free legal clinic sessions. Mine certainly does at Radin Mas. Might be able to get a free legal letter sent requesting repairs.

This flies in the face of everything else you will be told in this forum, but it worked for me. Ordinarily, I would rely on the contract which probably has a clauses dealing with repairs (first $150 borne by the tenant is usual) or if its uninhabitable. However, if you want to breach a tenancy contr...

It will be interesting to see if they bring the CB2 line here. It's supposed to be a competitor to Ikea, and in the same general price range.
