Joy79 Czech Crown is virtually useless outside of the country so where possible, use their ATMS to withdraw money or dont change too much (upon arrival) cos' no money changer outside of the country is going to change back to SGD...

Hi Farah, I was active in here in 2004 - 2006 when planning my own wedding which coincidently was held at ACM so when you mentioned your wedding is to be there, it brought back good memories of our wedding day. We engaged Istana Wedding Services and had a malay/indian and a "modern"...

I have my stuff sewn at Hannah Boutique/Mama & Misse Boutique at International Plaza. Look for Nicola - 62211865.

Shops along at Arab Street sells plenty of feathers....and reasonably cheaper cos' they are wholesalers

EL, No lah....Pink Bunny is due this coming July. Wow...so how's the baby? We're in "action" now.....But so terribly difficult leh...cos' Meraj travels so much and so do I this year so we've been out of sync....lol

Clueless, yeah yeah.....I agree with Raymond. Try your limited French. No matter how it comes out, the French will be nicer to you then if you were to come outright and speak in English. The key here is you tried to immerse yourself in their culture (which they are very proud and protective of)...

Raymond, we're travelling about by the trains and trams in the cities. Both Amsterdam and Hague and Prague have excellent above-ground transportation it seems from my research so I don't have much to worry. Oh yes! I already told my hubs that we will *have* to cycle about AMS especially.

Thanks for the tip Raymond! I have only done an initial research into AMS and PRG at the moment so I am lacking time to do more research… I was looking forward to the flower garden but having learned from you that the last day of opening is 18th May, we may need to change some plans as we...

I love D'orsay! It's a much smaller museum than Lourve but I thoroughly enjoyed it much more than I did Lourve. I guess it's really up to personal taste and what period/type of art collection you are really into. We're making a side trip to Hague for a job interview so we'll probably make a...

Raymond, I can't recall. But I think I paid like EUR890 for 10 nights in Paris. It was on the high side cos' I went during the World Cup season. It's well worth to pay in my opinion cos' of the central location (straddling the 1st and 2nd arr), the abundance of amneties within walking distance...

Hi Raymond, I'm sucker for tea sessions. Plus, the history of Parisian tea salons is somehow intracately tied and largely due to Laduree. The original store at Rue Royale still maintains the same interior as it did in 1860s. Beautiful frescos. Period furniture. I loved sitting there...

Clueless, suprisingly, I controlled myself really well. Didn't buy much luxury goods (just got LV and Longchamp). What we did lots was had tea sessions at the legendary Laduree - if you have time, have tea there.

Clueless, are you taking the Eurostar from Paris to London? What we did was, for a few of our purchases from Paris, we got the refund from Heathrow. It's a breeze as long as you show the purchases in original packaging etc. Allocate at least an half an hour to an hour just to attend to the...

T&P, you can go to the Trenitalia site and get the tickets online. Um, please be careful when you purchase them cos' there are a few trains (one with lots of stops or if you want the express, you should get the Eurostar Italia with no stops and under 2 hours (from Roma Termini to Firenze...

Bonjour! Wah....so many people visiting France. Great! Hubs and I enjoyed Paris last year, even with its unusually blistering cold autumn and temp. partial transport strike. It was memorable especially when a "herd" of us walked all the way from the station to the stadium to watch the...

Suhfyera, thanks for the offer, I may just take up on it. Though I suspect we'll be fine - Hubs spent his growing up years there before moving to Australia and we've made our annual trips back since marriage so I have been fine moving around and I feel comfortable on my own. Even went for...

Hi ayu, congrats on your impending marriage. And syukur alhamdulillah re. your fiance's conversion classes. I love the lacey stuff which Anggun Andaman have in store...I'm not too sure about the services though. Why don't you make an appointment with them to have a feel for their works and...

*sigh* One step at a time, I suppose. I'm thankful that that we have friends over in Australia already who are willing to be our "witnesses" and give their statutory declarations in support of our application. If not, I think our application will be further delayed.

Wow! That's a HUGE flat...you can have a few generations living under the same roof. Ahh..Elias still procrastinating ah...Meraj would be the same had I not told him that I will not move on my paperwork for the OZ PR if his is not moving...hahaha.... --> terrible me I know! So now, serve...

How many bedrooms does a Jumbo flat come with? I know that when we were on the hunt, there were lots of people on the hunt for Jumbo flats so usually, when there was one in the market, it was snapped up pretty fast. Rental and purchase properties are stabilising at the moment. The prices are...
