Hey tigerstyle, I work at Suntec and live over at Tanjong Pagar. It's about a 10 minute bus ride to work which is nice in the mornings. MRT is convenient but it's like swimming upstream trying to get through all the people rushing to work and getting off at Tanjong Pagar MRT. I was concerned with fi...

Update:
Took a chance on an unknown fellah. Plustek OpticSlim M12 Plus.
It's about as small as it gets and runs off the USB port. The mac drivers are in beta stage but work well so far. Hard part is finding a good scanning software (?). Shareware or cheap preferrably. Any ideas?

Thanks for the quick responses.
I'm fairly certain that I don't want to do any printing or photocopying. All of that stuff I do at work. I just want to scan.. :)

Cheap document scanner for home use

Hey,

Anyone have any suggestions for a decent scanner for home use. My plan is to scan all invoices and important letters to keep on my MacBook instead of having these piles of paper lying around.

Preferable something small, cheap and Mac friendly.

Thanks!

The initial application took me about three weeks with a manual application. This got rejected and I appealed which took another two weeks although MOM said it would take a minimum of three. It got approved and a week later I'm a proud EP holder. I'd say give it another week or so before investigati...

Mac games available anywhere?

Heya,
I guess the subject really says it all. When looking online at Apple Store singapore they have Sims and two expansions available and even though I don't have much of a life, it's better than sitting around playing Sims.
Has anyone seen any place that sells Mac games?
Thanks!

20 bucks times 5 days (max) is not going to amount to a lot of money.

I'd say the landlord has every reason to charge a little more if the contract stipulates no visitors and he's cutting you some slack on it.
Pay up, be happy and get away cheap. That's what I'd do

Hi MIsing, I had a return flight well in to the future as well and it wasn't a problem at Changi. They just took my tourist visa application thing and put part of it in the passport. Also, who's to say that you won't be visiting other countries in the region during your stay thus renewing your 90 da...

Revhappy, Interesting.. I didn't think of that at all. I land in Singapore on July 1st so I'm not sure if I'll fall within the 183 days or miss the cut-off by a day. In that case I will remember to check out the reassessment rules. Thanks for the tip sundaymorningstaple. Applied for my Employment Pa...
