Weds Nites

Hey all. For the past 2 years I have been playing on Weds nights at The Cage (8-10pm) with a bunch of mostly local guys. Quality of play is above average. Competitive, but not too physical. We usually get 10-15 guys on a given night, but 15 is the best. Lately we seem to be low on players. Come by t...

If the time and place is right, I'd join too.
Been away from the U.S. for 5 years now but I think I can still swing a bat.

I believe ASN on Starhub carries some NFL games. It's expensive though. Around $20+ per/mo and they don't carry many games.

Might be better off with NFL Season Ticket To-Go:

if it's available in Singapore.

Soccer at the Cage

I'm an American, been here 5 yrs. I play with a bunch of local guys on Wednesday nights 8-10 pm at an indoor place called the Cage over by the Indoor Stadium. http://www.thecage.com.sg/about.htm It's not near you, but there is an MRT nearby. Standard is pretty good. Turf is Field Turf not cement or ...

iPod Touch... the best

I have 2 young boys (4 & 6). We purchased 2 iPod Touch devices and LOVE THEM. We travel to the U.S. (MN) at least once a year and these things keep them busy the whole way. They play music and video, plus you can load them up with games on the iTunes store for only $0 - $2 per game. Many of the game...

No offense meant towards BodyBlitz, but if you've never owned a gas grill, then you probably don't really know the attachment one can develop after frequently cooking on one. I think it's really an Australian and American thing... and maybe South American. Trust me bring a grill... save yourself $1,...

Brought my grill from the U.S.

Propane delivery guy installed singapore valve fixture for about $100 sgd. when we arrived and ordered propane for the first time.

FYI... LP canisters are delivered and installed for about $30. Old one taken away. Usually same day as phone call.

Not sure I'd let the distance from SAS constrain you. We live on Tanjong Rhu Rd on the East Coast and will be sending our oldest to Kindergarten at SAS in Aug. The bus (more of a "greyhound" type bus.. not a traditional yellow school bus) arrives in front of our condo at around 6:30 am and returns a...

Police State... no. In fact I rarely see police, but you get the sense that there are cameras everywhere. I don't know anyone who has been pulled over by a cop, but many who have received driving violation tickets in the mail. All in all. I feel it is a safe place, but there is a slight tinge of Big...

I'll be frank. $4,000/mo. (assuming you are talking Sing $) is not going to get you a whole heck of a lot anywhere near the CBD... unless there has been a dramatic drop in rental rates in the last couple of months $4,000 quite low. Woodlands would be a tough place to live without a car. You will rin...

First... See my advice about grills and electronics on this other post: http://www.singaporeexpats.com/forum/ftopic56182.html In other words: Check to see if your condo allows grills. If yes, DEFINITELY BRING ONE. Check to see if your mover allows them to be packed IN ADVANCE. If not, buy a new one ...

If the appliance says 110v-220v (or240v) you are fine. If it just says 110v, then no. If you don't want to part with the item, you can buy a power converter here for around $100 SGD, but I don't really recommend it. One of the few things we brought from the U.S. that is not dual-voltage is the rotis...

Travelling to Seoul... good camera/gadget shopping?

I might be traveling to Seoul in a couple of weeks. Is it worth my time to do some electronics shopping? Are the prices any better or are there any gadgets that I can get there that I can not get in Singapore? In particular, are Nikon cameras, lenses and accessories cheaper? How 'bout iPhones? If so...

HDTV????

I had Starhub out to my place to connect the "Digital Cable" today. I just purchased a new Samsung 42" Plasma TV and was looking forward to watching sports and HBO, but the signal is downright AWFUL ! The video out on the cable box is one of those wimpy yellow analog cables going into my TV. Heck, I...
