nice turnout from the pics. I was there the first week, but I didn't make it to this past saturday. I probably have one of the lamest excuses for not making it, but I'll hopefully see you guys this upcoming saturday.

worst case scenerio, you might want to check this out. http://forums.hardwarezone.com.sg/showthread.php?t=1725825 You'd be surprised about worldwide access to HDTV on cable or satellite. It's relatively new outside of the US. Even in the UK, it's only been out for about a year and a half. HD5 has on...

Even though your plasma probably has a HDTV tuner that picks up over the air HD channels in the US, it won't in Singapore. The US uses ATSC while Singapore uses DVB-T. Doesn't really matter since there is only 1 HDTV channel that is broadcast over the air, and only the newest Samsungs have internal ...

I really do not want to buy a pair of soccer cleats. is it possible to find american football cleats in Singapore? I guess "rugby boots" would work too. I had a horrible time with the field, and I should be around for the next 2 weekends before I head back to the states for a week over the lunar new...

Your desktop computer should have a switch in the back right next to the plug. It's plainly visible. You can't miss it. Once you get to Singapore, you'll just have to get a nail and shift the switch to 230 before turning it on. Instead of getting a new adapter, just get a UK/Singapore plug which wil...

Not only is the analogue signal different, but the digital and high-definition signals are also not compatible. Singapore uses DVB-T. Rear projection TVs are rare here. You'll be glad that you left your out-of-date TV back in the US when you see some of the new LCDs that are out now. If you can't se...

If time isn't an issue, buy American Express Traveler's checks and then send them by mail to your bank. The commission charge in Singapore is 1%, and the exchange rate, while it isn't the best in Singapore, isn't a total rip-off. There's an AMEX branch outside of Tang's with evening hours. Your bank...

thanks for saving me a trip over there. I don't have goal tv either, and I'm hoping that this sopcast link works so I don't have to rely just on the updated gamecast. next time I head back to the states, I'll have to set up a slingbox. I still can't pm on this forum, so could you send me your contac...

M_Aurelius, since you live right next to it. Do you know if Balcony Bar has Goal TV? Since Balcony Bar is supposedly open 24 hours and Goal TV has the NFL game, I can meet you right as the game is over.

Bike ride sounds great if it goes like the treetop walk. but I don't think I can make it this time. My Redskins are in the playoffs against the Seahawks, and it's a 5:30 am local kick off.

mind if I join you? I've only been in singapore for a few weeks and haven't had the chance to visit any of the parks yet.
