AUGUST 2022

HOME & PROPERTY

Anything more you’d like to do to the décor? For now, the few touches that I would like to make would be to reupholster my great grandmother’s chairs in the dining room, get new lampshades for my bedside lamps and paint the walls around the pool in white – provided Chris gives me the green light to do so! What do you like about the area? It’s serene, our neighbours are lovely, the Botanic Gardens and our church are just a stroll away, and it’s conveniently close to where we do our shopping. Favourite thing about Singapore? The people, the food and the proximity to amazing destinations and beaches. Do your homework. Check out the Singapore Tourism Board or your affiliated Chamber of Commerce, read Expat Living for all the tips and tricks they offer; Sassy Mama is also a great portal for mums trying to find their way here. Get out and explore the city and don’t be afraid to mingle and ask for help! We’re blessed with so many associations and clubs here, so visit them when you can. What would your advice be for newcomers to Singapore?
