Shi Chi, If I were in your shoes, I'd talk to my parents first. If they are not supportive of you being a single parent, then I would put the child up for adoption. Don't make the mistake of hiding it from your parents. Perhaps take a week to think on it but you will break your parents'...

People, this has been discussed to death over the media/newspaper/forums. And the official answer is NO. It's NEVER going to be revised unless they adjust ALL the gantries. The height is put at 0.9m because that's where they place the sensors to prevent the gates from closing on people...

It's NEVER going to be revised unless they adjust ALL the gantries. The height is put at 0.9m because that's where they place the sensors to prevent the gates from closing on people. What we can argue for is cheaper or free child fares distributed by means of personalized cards for each...

If you didn't sign any documents for the first flat then you are indeed only the occupier. Therefore your new application is the first application. If you can discuss and agree to the custody and maintenance arrangements, your divorce will proceed much faster. familycourtofsingapore.gov.sg

Oh, they go there JUST for the politics discussion! Riiiiight.

I use Sweet Secrets. They have a "photocake" option. I just surf the net for pictures (cars, transformers etc) then photoshop it for size and wording then email them my order. http://www.sweetsecrets.com.sg/cd.htm

CSI_Fan (kitty_li) : If you want to be really picky about it, don't store in milk bottle unless you are using glass bottles or safe plastic bottles. (there is a whole thread on unsafe plastic bottles) Reasoning is that the fat in EBM does not interact well with some plastics during heating up...

Attica: IMO, that would be what the men want us to think - that we are physically and emotionally unattractive after childbirth and it is all OUR fault. Having a child is a life-changing event, not just for the mother, but for the father as well. However, it affects the mother a lot more...

Yes, that is the dilemma: deciding when to say "that's it, I'm not going to try anymore" On one hand, you could have not tried enough, on the other hand, you could be beating a dead horse... IMO, only the person can decide for himself/herself what is the final straw, the point of no return.

I hate to say this, but the hardest chapter has just begun. *hugs* to you and you know where to find us if you need support. ...why is it the hardest chapter? Balance between doing stuff for your baby/parents/new family structure and doing stuff for yourself and work. Ignoring the past...

Even if you are not legally divorced, any parent can bring the other parent to court to make him/her pay for his/her share of the child's expenses...

victory: there is no reason for them to revise the limit just for the buses cos it's easier for them to say it's easier to have a blanket ruling, blanket signs/stickers. Since when have prices for anything DROPPED?

Yes there is a sensor. It closes the gantry after it is activated. If you move very closely behind the person in front, it MAY detect you as one person. BUT if the station staff see that, they MAY ask you to exit and re-enter. Usually they will close one eye for young children.

Originally they insist need BC (my older child) but now just have to fill in BC#, DOB and name as well as your particulars. Yes, only 1 child ezlink card per child under 7. It works like a normal Adult ezlink card but with child fares and minimum top up is $5 instead of $10. Like hong...

The problem is the sensor at the MRT gantries - It's fixed at 0.9m and is to prevent anyone from going by without payment. It's absurd to expect them to change ALL the gantries as they'll probably just have another excuse to raise fares again. They SHOULD provide a free travel pass for...
