1. Housing: We were given a housing allowance of $10000 SGD then reduced to $6000 - is it possible to find a place like this? We had set on Martin Residences (funny given the name) but also looking at St. Thomas Suites? I can't tell if any are nice or not - they all post the "nicest" pictures. Additionally, we don't want to take any furniture - have 2 girls (4 and 8), they have too much "stuff" we assume renting furniture or buying at Ikea? thoughts? Fully furnished just too much.
2. School: My oldest has been accepted to Stamford International American (SAS wait list too long and didn't find anything else) - youngest is on wait list. and due to start kinder in fall, I assume I will home school until then - any other thoughts on schools? Feel like I have looked at all and wish I could just send her to a "public" singapore school!

3.Phone: I have an iPhone4 with AT&T - of course in the middle of my contract and can't change anything until march...do I have any options or do I just get a new phone there or scrap it all together and Skype and email with family and friends...sounds lonely. I don't know if ATT has an international option that will work with the services over there? Probably not
4. Work: I want to work over there but not sure how to go about that being on a dependent pass *I don't know all the abbreviations used in this forum - makes my head spin so I will spell them all out* I think my husbands company can get me a pass
I have found a couple of great blogs from expats but most do not have children that are blogging - good info but wondering how current.
