What District do we stay in when we move?????

I suppose when we were told I was moving to Singapore everything was very exciting but now we are looking at where we are going to stay. Singapore unlike the area we stay in currently is broken into districts. These districts are housed within 5 regions (South West, North West, Central, North East and South East)Click the link to see exactly where these districts are. Remember Singapore is quite small, 25Km x 49Km so the districts are all very close to one another.

  Singapore Districts

We started by looking in District 10 as this is where the British High Commission is located (my office) however, it would seem we can get much more for our money by looking out with the expensive Districts of 9,10 & 11. Sheila really likes the idea of being on the East coast areas as there are great sea views and a bit of a breeze! We are continuing our search concentrating on the districts, we will then see what type of apartments are available to us.

We'll Miss You....

After speaking to a couple of friends they suggested putting this on to the blog and they can then leave a comment for us to read now and in the future. I'm sure I'll come by this post and edit it every now and then with all the things we are going to miss and when we are in Singapore we can detail the things that potential visitors to our home can bring with them!!

What do you think so far??

I've never done a blog before but my wife has (and she gets paid for advertising!) I have been shown how to check where my visitors are coming from etc. I would really like to know what you think so far. I know I have visited loads of blogs and not left comments with many. If there is anything in particular that you think should be featured I'm happy to oblige. My wife love to research so this is almost a mini project for her!

Cosmo Aberdeen - Asian Dinning at its best

We all went out last night for dinner. It was a nice opportunity to meet up with Sheila's two uncles and her aunty. It was the first time we had all met up since I announced we were relocating to Singapore. We decided to hit Cosmo. Alun and Sheila had been before but myself Richard and Margaret had not.

It was superb. Sheila decided to have some Singapore noodles and Singapore chicken in testament to our forthcoming move! Alun and Margaret suggested that they would come out to Singapore next April for their anniversary - they would be most welcome!

We have assistance in Singapore!!

I'm just off the phone and have fired emails back and forward to my very good friend Ishak. Ishak and I met on one of my first trips to KL where I was presenting to 200 Oil & Gas people. We hit it off and ever since we meet up when I am in the region.

I passed on the exciting news that the move was now on so he is going to act as a liaison for us in Singapore, I really think this is going to help us loads.

So, I want to give 3 cheers to Ishak, Hip Hip Hooray, Hip Hip Hooray, Hip Hip Hooray!

I think that's enough of that.

What can Daisy Dog do in Singapore.....?

If like us, you have a little doggie and you are wondering what there is in Singapore then look no further! Sheila has been busy researching what and where there is for Daisy. Singapore appears to be very tolerant in regards to dogs. There are some issues with the larger breed but I'll post links about that later on. However, they love little dogs, fluffy dogs, girly dogs and in fact anything little and cuddly!!
