you won't like this:
(for your debit card)
In addition, when you use your debit card at an overseas ATM you will pay an $8 international transaction fee on your transaction.
However, If you use your Westpac card at any bank that belongs to the ATM Global Alliance, you won't be charged the usual $8 international transaction fee. Banks in the alliance are located in Australia, North America, UK, Europe, and Africa. Find out which banks are in the ATM Global Alliance...
(for withdrawing money)
When withdrawing cash from your savings or transaction accounts, you can save a fee of $5 by using the ATMs of participating Global Alliance partners in the following countries:
but it doesn't say Singapore in the "following countries", so it's A$5 per transaction
clicky here => Westpac stuff -

OK, I'll just blardy withdraw the money later at some Westpac ATM and carry it with me.
Thanks for the info, Bear! I was looking at the wrong page on the Westpac site.

Ours is in SembawangOriginally posted by Rhonda:Actually, I kinda prefer my crab warm / hot, not cold. If cold, they should be in salads and such.
I dream of Chilli Crab, which my family and I will be having at our favourite seafood chi char restaurant in Tuas soon!! -

It's 24 hrs
Worst case scenerio Pinky Bear's home is near the airport -
Yeah. A few of my well-travelled colleagues say even they get nervous up to a week before departure!Originally posted by hisoka:relax, drink some water, and get abit more sleep.
you're prob just nervious
I think I'm a bit nervous too cause a neighbour just got his bicycle stolen because some resident didn't close the security gate properly and an intruder must have walked into the compound and stolen it!
One of my neighbours, when she gets drunk or too f**ked up, will forget to lock the security gate to our first floor apartments.
Think for safety's sake, I shall leave a timer on my table lamp so it will turn on for an hour every night. -
Pinky Bear, you are soooooo sweet!!Originally posted by elindra:Always open

But ok, since they are open 24 hrs, no worries then! Yippee for good ol' Singapore efficiency! -

I know...because I fly at odd times. -

set booby traps in their flat
maybe if the trap is vicious enough, they'll leave their leg behindOriginally posted by Rhonda:Yeah. A few of my well-travelled colleagues say even they get nervous up to a week before departure!

Fatum, I see you're quite familiar with black markets and such! -
or you could just change money at the "local" money changers at the airport and hope you don't get ripped off too badly

Yeah but if u forget about yr own booby traps.........Originally posted by the Bear:do the thing my friends did..

I keep telling myself, RELAX!!! If I have forgotten to buy a souvenir / gift for someone, then too bad, just give them a treat or something!
And if I have forgotten to bring anything else, I can always buy it in Singapore!
But still, I get the jitters! I think I'm just ... borderline mental.
Maybe, some... valium... ... ... some valium might help! -
The seats at the wings are the most stable part of the plane and the flights.Originally posted by Rhonda:The alternative was to sit where you can view the wing of the plane and only the wing, and no way I'll do that!
You wont feel turbulance, but its troublesome to go to the lavatories or even to dis-embark, especially when you have stowed your carry ons in the overhead compartments.
Errr.....stewardess dont provide tissue papers that you need to sneeze into. They are very stingy to distributes those in fact.
But window seats are my favourites, cos got the window area to lay that extra self brought blanket on it and you can rest your head on it by the blanket cushioning your head from the vibrations of the plane. -
i can't sleep before i fly to bangkok too

If it makes you feel any better, I'm actually scared to death of flying.Originally posted by Rhonda:I keep telling myself, RELAX!!! If I have forgotten to buy a souvenir / gift for someone, then too bad, just give them a treat or something!

The thought of being 10,000 feet in the air in an aluminium tin can worries me.
Not that it ever stops me from flying -

Ah well, I don't really have precious things in my flat but my colleague's apt was broken into and she had her TV, computer, and all other electrical appliance stolen!
Another colleague went back to her home country for a holiday to return to find her jewellery all stolen!
Ah well... deep breaths... what's the worst that could happen? And I've got friends here now, I'm sure they'll help me out somehow if my flat really gets cleaned out when I'm gone!
