You'll hopefully save money by not going out to bars, OT, and Geylang as you may have last time. Instead, you'll be spending that money on baby supplies. General baby items (formula, diapers, strollers, anything really) is easily more than twice as much as it is in the West.louy wrote: What do I need to consider ? What advice can you give me ?
Fpr pre-school, just go register like everyone else. For local public schools there are whole forum posts about just this in the schooling forum. Depending on when the kid will be leaving the country (what point in their schooling) it may be worth it to put them into an International School following the curriculum of the system they will be transferring into.louy wrote: I will probably be therefor the next 3 - 5 years plus.

I really worry about costly mistakes (in addition to the potential overall mistake of deciding to return to SG again).
If you were to do it all again, knowing what you know now - what would you bring over to Singapore with you ?
