thank you for taking the time to reply! I would appreciate any recommendations anyone might have for the following:
1. Areas we should explore to live in. My husband's office will be on Pasir Panjang road (mapletree business city?) and mine (if they let me move with the company) will be in Marina bay. Based on that and some of my research - it looks like east coast will be a good option for us? What is a good
condo complex on the east coast to start looking at? We need a 3 bedroom place and would like to have some amenities onsite like a play area outside of the kids and a swimming pool and gym
2. schools and daycare - from reading on this forum since last night, it looks like daycare is a better option for my little one than a nany at home. Are there ones people recommend? How about schools? I feel like the SAS (american school) might be too far for my older one as well as I dont want him to have contact only with american kids - I would like him to integrate into the culture but still go to private school. Is this possible?
This is my biggest worry - I have never had the kids go on a schoolbus off by themselves. How will they cope with a new place as well as new routines?
I am also looking for a daycare focused on play and not just academics which I know is stressed on in Asia (I am originally from India)
3. Activities for the kids. My older one right now does karate, soccer, tball (baseball) and swimming on a regular basis (yeah it sounds a little nuts when I write it but it doesn't seem chaotic in our lives). Once in a while he is also enrolled in tennis, gymnastics etc. Will we have the opportunity to have such activities in SG - and are they all outdoors? How do the kids do this stuff with the weather?
4. Lastly I am very worried about the weather for myself. I hate being hot - is is really possible to live in Singapore and not be exposed too much to the weather? I am worried I will feel claustrophbic if I get there and can't deal with it and also can't leave!
Sorry to pour out all my questions and emotions onto the boards - I think I just need to put things down to gain a little perspective!
thanks in advance for your replies.
