You could probably get one made through the black market, but I hear that it's getting far more difficult because of the way they do the photo's in them now. Your other option is to steal a singaporeans identity.. but you lose your own identity if you do that. If both of the above fail, and you're n...

I stayed in a large 2 bedroom treetops apartment for 6 months, it was great. No problems with the broadband connection either, and the rooms are very well soundproofed. The staff leave you alone there, the cleaners are friendly, and they were nice enough not to tell my girlfriend off for bringing so...

Have you tried getting a quote for air freight? For some things, it's actually cheaper, as they don't need to set aside a minimum amount of space in a container. Air freight is also based on weight, not size (usually!). Otherwise, just put it in check-in luggage. If you're not carrying much other lu...

Never done it before, but I've seen it on TV and researched a bit about it in the past. If you find a training center for it somewhere.. I'm definitely interested in learning (I'm an absolute beginner though).

Sorry to say, but CDMA phones won't work here. Singapore runs on GSM or UMTS/WCDMA (3g).

Sounds like you've got a worm... very unlikely that a hacker is actively trying to destroy you by hacking into your computer and sending emails. Have you received an email with an attachment recently? If so, did you open that attachment? If so.. that's the source of your worm. My suggestion... get s...

There arn't any true HD screen in Singapore...plasma or other wise. P or I There's a lot that claim to be but they are merely scaling to suit. Actually... 1080i by definition isn't true HDTV, as the signal is interlaced from 2 540pixel images. 1080p is true HDTV, and you're right, they're not avail...

I've just returned from my trip to Thailand.. I can confirm that decent quality furniture in Thailand is considerably cheaper than here in Singapore. Total cost for a King Sized Sealy mattress and wooden base, computer desk and chair, designer sofa, designer coffee table and dining table = SGD$4000 ...

Singapore furniture costs

Hi all... been lurking on this forum for awhile. I've recently moved to Singapore, and am now looking for a 2BR condo. From what I've seen, the furnished ones (old and new) have minimal, below average quality furniture, so I am considering purchasing furniture and moving into a partially furnished p...
