    Super Telephoto on a Budget - Canon lenses choice

    LTA seeking feedback on COE

    Pay what you bid for the COE and only no dealers. --- This will ensure ppl dont simply put $100K just to secure a COE which the current system is encouraging. The 2nd car ownership premium is totally BS. I can just register in my wife's name or my Maid. (for info, you dont need a driving...

    Singapore Flyer kaput?

    I only went up once and thats it. Not worth the high (on discounted purchase) fees for that short ride. High ridership mainly contributed by Tourist and most of them on package tours I think.
