I went to physiofocus in tanglin shopping centre, it wasnt for a sports injury but I think they deal with them too. I'd recommend them, but I haven't tried anyone else to compare.

I don't know about other operators but we have starhub for mobile/cable/internet and because we package it together, we get a discount on the services. Nets is just the eftpos/cash card network here - so you have an account with a bank and they give you a cash card/atm card/whatever you call it and ...

dive shop reccommendation for rescue diver course?

I'd like to do my rescue diver course- I've found some shops which run it, but I'd like a recommendation if anyone has done it here. I recently did a first aid course here and found that it was dealt with really badly- no-one took it seriously and the teacher didn't even seem to care. :o I don't jus...

I recently looked into this and could only find bukit timah saddle club, the polo club and gallop stables. The first two are expensive (I think) and gallop stables only has ponies (which may or may not be your thing) I was looking for somewhere you could do trail rides as well as lessons too. There'...

haha yes - that's the thing I find most frustrating... 2 examples: a friend of mine was telling me about a deal on to get 3 x tshirts for $20 (normal price was $23 for one). He wanted to get 4 of them, so asked how much for 4, thinking it would be around $27... but they said no, it would be $43! na...

quitting job/cancelling EP - implications

Just wondering, if a person quits their job and cancels their EP (which entitles you to a 14 day social visit stamp) does this have any implications on your apartment rental? Ie will/can the authorities notify the landlord? Also, is the 14 days visa from the date of leaving the job or from the date ...

Oh dear.. to echo sundaymorningstaple yes, you need to be able to swim to be certified.

Can you dive if you can't swim? Possibly..

Should you try to dive if you can't swim? That's entirely another issue.. :shock:

I just organised my own long term social visit visa, my partner is here on an employment pass. I came in on the free short-term social visit pass which is given on arrival and then arranged my LTSVP when I was here, it's quite quick. :D It's a bit confusing because there are LTSVP from the immigrati...

I'm from Australia and there have been so many things I thought "gee I miss.." or "gee that's expensive here" but I can't remember it now you ask! :? Cheese could be ok, there is a good range here but it is more expensive, but I don't know if I'd worry too much. Maybe antipasto stuff (olives) etc I ...

Recommendation for physio or chiro

Hiya all

I've got a really sore neck and need to see a physio and/or chiro. I'd prefer to see someone that's recommended to me if they're going to be mucking around with my neck!

Anyone got any recs? Dont mind where they are in Singapore.

Cheers!

My boyfriend took me to Flutes at the Fort (fort canning) and it was gorgeous- wonderful food and nice setting, we had a fantastic night. I think with wine etc it might be a little more expensive than $100 pp but I would say it's well worth it. As for gifts- well I don't think anyone finds that easy...

where to print digital photos?

I wondered if anyone can recommend a reasonably cheap place to print a large quantity of digital photos? Just somewhere with one of those photo kiosks you can do-it-yourself and then get the store to print would be great. Anywhere fairly central is ok, I don't mind travelling if it means finding som...
