Doubt JB is better. Most electronics there are a little higher even than in Singapore, in my experience. Vietnam I'm not sure, but overall, I think your best bet is probably online.

They're pretty voracious; I can only imagine how many mozzies they've knocked back in our place over the years. Lifesavers they are.

Or get a cicak. I've watched ours pick off a string of ants one by one. We prefer not to use any kind of chemicals, so we're closing one eye to the wee gecko's presence. And it's pretty discrete, so everybody's happy.

I am very grateful that my son obtained a distinction for his ‘ O’ level English. It was least expected as he failed his English in Chung Cheng High (main) in Sec 3. When my colleague recommended us to send him to Joanne Choo Language Centre at Clementi, I was reluctant. It is so far. However, it t...

By far most of the times, the car is never actually handed over, yes, in part d...

It's one of the enduring mysteries of Singapore: why something so traditionally oriental as a massage needs to be so expensive here. I've tried a few upmarket spas and a few neighborhood ones, and whilst not necessarily bad, they all seem way overpriced, particularly when the masseuse isn't properly...

We do have a few resident geckos yes. And I'm pretty sure they take their fair share. But it doesn't really explain the way lower roach count when we're outside eh.

Any entomologists out there care to have a go?

Never mind the street trees, what happened to the cockroaches? There used to be cockroaches everywhere you look, with an occasional infestation every now and again.
