Wait... better set the record straight. :bigeyes: The picture wasn't taken by me, else I would have place the photo on this forum. Sorry for the confusion Jeannie. :(

Agreed. Something like this: http://www.daddyhobby.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=45543 And the bulge... that's their radar and fire control system: http://www.lockheedmartin.com/wms/findPage.do?dsp=fec&ci=11301&sc=400

I wrote about this before. Perhaps you might want to check my previous postings. So did another forumer. You should not have bought the adapter before deciding what GPS you want to buy. All the more if you don't want to use the RS232 interface. Get a GPS that allows you to track. I'll vouch for...

Thanks for the read. But how do we show our "support"? While I sympathise with him, he did make two fundamental mistakes: 1. Choosing a field because it was a "hype". 2. Choosing a PhD because it will mean a job. But that said, it is good that he pointed out the realities of "a local...

You should keep a look out at Singastro. :)

Planning for any trip isn't easy. But I had my fun creating my own itinerary for my Cambodia trip earlier this year. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Now, I'm stretching my mind to plan my self-drive tour with a GPS, Mapsource and a handful of guide books. Looking forward to the implementation...

I stayed in Richmond during my last trip 2 years ago. Can't really get used to it especially since I don't speak Cantonese. :( As for downtown Vancouver... can hardly remember what it's like liao. The last time I was in the city was in 1994. *sigh*

To my knowledge, cheapest fares are usually from Northwest or UA. But personally, I'd rather take SQ or Cathay. SQ has offers for 2-to-go (2 pax at SGD 3,548.00 incl taxes) with no mileage accrual. Cathay recently had some promotions for self-drive and free-n-easy, but I can't remember their...

Hmm... I don't remember Nikon having any GPS attachment, although the MC-35 cable is available for you to connect a GPS device using the NMEA protocol via a serial port connection. As I mentioned earlier, you will likely have to fork out an additional $200 for the connection alone. Again, any...

I would down a bottle of Yakult and hope it goes away. That said, there are some OTC cures from the pharmacy that you can try, e.g. Imodium.

Hmm... wonder if it's the same one that I frequent. I would recommend the tim sum stall at the coffeeshop where Ponggol Nasi Lemak is located (N1° 21.71, E103° 53.19). It's not too far away from Kovan MRT too. Over there, you'll also get to order the AMK bak chor mee, Nasi Lemak (only in the...

Erm... more pictures? ;)

Erm... my china not too powderful. ssshhh Like many Nikon accessories, the MC-35 appears to be in short supply. From what I've learnt from a friend, you can set the GPS to track, and sync "coordinates from GPX tracks into the Exif header using software that compare time stamps." (quoted from...

I bought something like this from CP. It can hold an umbrella if required. http://images.virtualvillage.com/005985-009/001.jpg
