Hi Singaporeans! Am I late? I relocated to HK 9 years ago but only became active in these forums recently for the sake of my 19 months old boy. Education is a big issue I agree. SIS is our target, expensive yes, but I don't want anything apart from SIS. We have thought of relocating back to Singapore. My husband has his career in Hong Kong, and we don't think he can find the same in Singapore. Personally I think education becomes secondary comparing to staying together as a family. So hopefully my boy can get a place in SIS, otherwise we have to review our plans.

回覆 Sim 的帖子

My case is pretty similar to Sim. I married a HKger and my hubby is also very supportive of the idea of relocating back to Singapore for our boy's education. However like Sim's hubby, my hubby has a good job in HK and might not be able to find the same in Singapore. Career is important to a man, so I am relunctant to make him give up his job. However like weishy mentioned, I also believe in the importance of staying together as a family, be it for the family as a whole or for the kid's development. So SIS seems to be our interim solution for time being, provided that we are able to get a spot there coz SIS is becoming ridiculously popular in HK. And of coz, expensive! That's part of the reason why we are not planning for no 2.. Anyway my boy is holding Singapore passport and I expect him to go back to serve NS of coz. I have no concerns coz every Singaporean man has to go through that and I agree that it should not be as tough as before. My hubby used to think that serving NS is a waste of time, but he is changing his mindset slowly. Hong Kong is a great place but I love and adore Singapore like Pluva's hubby. I would love to go back one day.

Anyway we are staying at Hung Hom bay now, used to be at Park Island, but we moved recently for the sake of getting closer to my inlaws who are helping to look after my boy. I'm so glad to meet all of you here. It always feels warmth to meet people from your country on a foreign land. Keep in touch and I look forward to any meetings!

Are they relocating back to HK? I remember seeing the school bus route information from SIS website. Is it difficult for Singaporeans to get a spot in SIS now?

Care to share your experiences for the past half year? We might take similar route in future if I decided to relocate back to Singapore with my boy, whilst my husband will remain in HK to work.

Hi minirat,

My case is a little bit complicated.. I travelled to SG to see my son every 2 weeks - 1 month. I got very serious flu, cough and fever last time when I travelled to see my son.. Since then, my body condition become very weak. I then discussed with my husband to apply PN1 at SIS for our son. At least, I don\'t have to travel there frequently if he allows our son to study in HK. Finally, we got offer for PN1.. I believe my son is easier to get because of Singapore Citizenship.

I do hope my husband will decide to relocation back to HK because he had quite good job and income in HK.. But in SG, opportunities of his field is much lesser.. After several months, he is still looking for job there.. My main income is from HK/China and I can\'t foresee any business opportunities of my field there. I am still working and planning hard a little bit better way for myself and my little boy..

I see. I share your views that there is no good reason for your family to relocate to Singapore. Your situation is pretty much the same as ours. My hubby and I have good jobs in Hong Kong, and like your husband, there are lesser opportunities for my husband's job field in Singapore. For me, it will be easier coz I can request to internal transfer to our Singapore office. Hacving said that, I think it is better for us to stay together as a family. I rather spend more money to send my boy to SIS, than to relocate back, even though personally I really miss Singapore a lot. Anyway all the best to you and I will be happy to see your family reunited in Hong Kong or Singapore, as long as 3 of you can be together, which is most important for the kid. Keep in touch!

Hi

There are gives and takes.. I am thinking the same way as yours. But my husband is having different point of view.. I would rather to work hard and save as much as I can for my little boy than move myself there to eat up my savings.

Hope I can be recovered very soon and got energy to travel to see my son next month

Hi

It must have hard on you. I cannot imagine being separated from my boy. Your boy is holding Singapore passport, so I guess he has to serve NS in Singapore. Your thoughts on this?

NS and grow up environment is the main concern to my husband. He thinks the grow up environment define who you are. He doesn\'t wish to see our son to be grown up at a place \" not here, not there\". Well, I understand and can\'t change the current situation in HK..

Hope I can earn as much as I can for my retirement in SG or my husband changes his mind slowly

I see. I am worried that my son might not have the readily commitment for NS in Singapore if he grows up in HK.

I can see that your husband loves Singapore like me, haaa! Our "brainwash" education is good isnt?

Hi

No need to worry abt NS for our little ones.. It\'s still ten over years to go.. By that time, who knows how the system will be? Maybe gals also need to serve NS and our young guys would love too..

I had been very upset abt the SG \"brain wash\" education to my husband last time.. But on the other hand, he got the same loyalty to me when I am slowly getting old.

Tell you all a good news! my husband and little boy are coming to HK to see me end of this month

I don\'t have to fly over.

Hi Weishy, meet up for women talk

or families? Weekends is better for me..
