i am just curious how do people install the safe? Does it need to be fixed onto the wall/floor?

have you guys considered buying from NZ (vodafone), the price is cheaper than the HK unlocked ones.

My 7-yr daughter is probably at a level 4-5 and we are looking for appropriate teachers/classes for her, any recommendations?

Thanks

Thank you, imrankassim. The container also has other people's stuff. so I guess it is LCL. Was also reading the contract between the moving company and me and it seems they are only liable to a max of HK$0.66/lb - basically nothing. We hired a moving company to ship our stuff to singapore. Today jus...

The container is already in Singapore, but I won't be arriving in singapore for another week. On top of that, someone else's stuff in the same container is also compromised. The agent at singapore has repacked some of the things, which means my stuff may have been mixed with others. I am not sure if...

Hmm...given nobody else is posting in about this then let me give you some advice (GANG please chime in here) 1. Do you know where the container is at the moment? If it is still ship-side (i.e. on dock or in bond) then tell them to gather all the information they have including the bonding tags and...

email from the Hong Kong agent: I tried to contact your Singapore mobile but was unable to get in touch with you, so I am writing to inform you that there is an incident occured on your shipment. We were advised by our Singapore partner agent that the container which contains your shipment was unfo...

I know i have obviously made a bad mistake not buying the insurance. No, they have not filed a police report as they are waiting for me to check on the missing items (what a huge hassle that would be!) I would ask the questions you have suggested first (to the agent at singapore I guess). Hmmm, firs...

We hired a moving company to ship our stuff to singapore. Today just received an email from the moving company that it seems that some of the boxes were opened and items missing. Unfortunately we did not purchase the insurance. Also unfortunately that apparently there are other people's stuff in the...

Just curious if anything has changed over the last few months

Would like to hear your thoughts on this. Thanks

which base currency you choose does not matter. when you sell you EUR stocks you get EUR cash. It stays as EURO unless you want to convert into USD (you have to do it manually). if you wire the money to a EUR bank, then you SGD will automatically be converted to EUR - again, you base currency does n...

Just wonder how do you deal with funding and withdrawal ?

Either in HK or SG, any place/method to recommend?

Not a whole lot, probably for 20k SGD, a better deal may worth a nice meal though

Thanks

Suppose i will officially move to SIN in Feb, 2009, but I already have my EP approved now. I have an opportunity to visit singapore in Dec, 2008, can I open an account during my visit then? It might (or not) have some advantage to transfer money from oversea to Singapore and save the hassle of bring...
