What should I pack when moving to Bukit Timah?

Answer this Question

We asked people living in Bukit Timah to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...

"When moving to Bukit Timah, you should pack lightweight and breathable clothing due to the tropical climate. Include a good mix of casual and formal wear, as Singaporeans dress smartly for work and social events. Don't forget to pack a good pair of walking shoes for exploring the city, and sandals for the beach. Rain gear, such as a lightweight raincoat or umbrella, is essential as Singapore experiences frequent rain showers. Sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat are also necessary for protection against the sun. Pack your essential toiletries, but remember that most items can be easily purchased in Singapore. If you have prescription medication, bring enough to last for your initial period, along with a copy of your prescription. Bring your important documents, such as passport, visa paperwork, and any necessary medical records. If you're planning to drive, don't forget your international driving license. Electronics like your laptop, phone, and their chargers should be in your carry-on. Also, remember to pack a universal power adapter for your devices. Lastly, if you have room, consider packing a few items to make your new place feel like home, such as photos or small mementos," commented one expat who made the move to Bukit Timah, Singapore.
