Moving to AU was always on the cards as my brother lived here and I liked it when I visited him. Prior to moving, I visited AU three times and I saw Brisbane, Sydney and Perth. When I finally moved here, I was 30 and married for a year. I'm a ...

maorivaden: thanks for sharing your views bro. You're right about high expectations. I do think I had unreal expectations which caused a great deal of stress and sadness, but as I said, a visit to motherland helped gain a better perspective. ... Read More

@Islam kotabi: Yes, there are Indian gatherings, mostly to celebrate religious festivals, but I guess anyone is welcome. I could definitely try going to one of the meets. Thanks for the suggestion. Sorry that my post came across as scary to you. ... Read More

Hey AussiePete2, thanks for your post. Yes, I do chat up with other dog parents. I still haven't made any friends among them who would come over to my place or say hang out with me. I do have acquaintances though and it is good to have people ... Read More

I'm so happy to read that you're bringing all of them with you. That's awesome. I flew my dog from India to AU earlier this year. Total cost was about 23k AUD. It was so expensive as India is not an approved country and I had to fly my ... Read More

No worries. The word 'unclean' means lacking cleanliness. My dog is never unclean, and so are the dogs who are taken good care of. I have many Muslim friends who keep dogs at home. Anyway, thanks for making your point clear. Read More

Hi everyone! We've planned to arrive in SG for family holiday tomorrow morning (two kids aged 2 and 4). Now the question is whether to cancel the trip, or go with it. The past days seem not to have been holiday season in Singapore, but then I've ...
I think jazzy doesn't live in SG. Cancel the trip. My workplace is in the Marina Bay area. I took a taxi to work, to beat the haze. I developed severe headache and irritation in my throat; took a day off eventually. Right now, it is very bad. You ... Read More
