Haha! No wonder! I was about to ask you where in Clementi got Standard Photo! Coz I live there too and how nice if I can enjoy the convenience of sending prints right in my neighbour.
Have also develop some photos (4R) at century sq singapore colour center.
Have send in 2 different resolution. 1024*682 and 1600*1066.
Those of lower resoltion have some blocky thing at certain area. Those of 1600 resolution come out ok. Just like normal P & S camera.
Hope this helps others a bit. Try to send in photos with same reolution as have some pencil marking on the paperbag stating 1600*1067. Most probobly, they do a batch run for phot of that reolution, resulting in the poorer quality for the lower resolution.

So, do i send the prints in 3:2 format or 4:3 format? Looks like there's no official stand on this matter. Me thinking of sending in my prints soon. Don't want to come back with cropped heads and send in again for reprinting.
To play safe, crop the pics yourself before sending in. It is quite fast using PS6 anyway (unless you have hundreds of them!). IMO.
There are actually 2 shops at Blk 354 Clementi Ave 2. There is a standalone one just beside the wet market and the main one at Blk 354 itself. Check out this URL for the location:

It is about 10 mins walk from the Clementi MRT station. But there are many Standard Photo and S'pore Colour Centre outlets everywhere. Probably need not go to this one.
Cheers!

Kevin, I thought you more lao jiao than me.
Heheh And to think I look up to you as an expert. Here's the low down on cropping ratios and print sizes.Print size____|Ratio
__3R_______|_5:3
__4R_______|_3:2
__6R_______|_4:3
__8R_______|_5:4
__10R______|_6:5
Crop to the correct ratios of pixels of the length: breath of your digtal image. This is to prevent the photo developers from removing essential details from your photo when you give them images of the unsuitable dimensions.
Print at home~ Print at home~ Hahhaha Me obsessed with home printing liao... But if you are gonna print a lot, I think send in to print will cost less... But 8Rs will definately cost cheaper at home...

15% discount!!!
Cropping means to reduce the photo size while maintaining a certain aspect ratio(as megadark mentioned). Below are some examples of the resolutions sizes you need to crop to for printing, depending on your camera's megapixels:
1.3 megapixel - 1280 x 853
2.1 megapixel - 1600 x 1066
2.6 megapixel - 1856 x 1237
3.34 megapixel - 2048 x 1365
4.1 megapixel - 2272 x 1514

Hmm.. sorry, the above 2 shops are Standard Photo or Spore Colour??
mpenza,
confirm that u get 15% discount using the Standard Photo / S'pore Colour Centre VIP card? Applicable to digital photos? I even tried to get free 4R albums but they refused to give me even one! On the contrary, Soo Kee Colour gave me a couple when I processed with them.

I was referring to Singapore Colour Centre of course.
