Andrew, not S$860 though. Acc to Yahoo exchange rate, S$1 = HK$4.77, money exchange definitely can't get that high. So expecting around S$890 if ex. rate at $4.6 :dunno:

 

[wormz777]

Oh... actually my conversion is based on www.xe.com

I was hoping that it will be SGD$800 or less... looks like its not going to be that way at the moment.

 

[TMC]

It's about 840 if going by UOB's conversion.
