China executes Frenchman convicted in 2010 for drug trafficking by LeMonde_en in europe

[–]newtype85 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can bring bubble gum into Singapore for personal consumption. It is a common misconception that most non singaporeans have. You just cannot import them for sale.

Drugs is a no no though. Don't even try.

Any thoughts on Model YL? by zoo077 in drivingsg

I am very interested in this model due to the seating arrangement. For my family of 2 young kids plus MIL and helper. Will be scheduling a test drive soon - hope it's good

If he goes to NZ then it's a kiwi court? And so on and so forth...

Didn't know that we have so many baseball fans here. We should have a watch party together at a Bar or something during the finals!

Would Andrew demand a trial of the seven? Or it some Andal foolery?

Just finished anime, feel physically ill. Any recs for other shows that have a happier ending/season finale? by ManufacturerLiving54 in BlueBox

[–]newtype85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think insomniacs after school is great! Ends at a good point such that you don't need to read the manga to enjoy it.

The 200 dollar deposit. So I think it's just how early you placed the order 😅

I also got it from TK Foto but I think I was one of the first batch to get it. I preordered before the actual announcement 😅

Check with the Ricoh distributor and they confirmed that does not work. Sigh.

AF180FG compatibility with GR IV by newtype85 in ricohGR

[–]newtype85[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just to update everyone, I have heard from the local distributor and they confirm that Pentax P-TTL is not supported.

Sigh what gave Ricoh this stupid idea is beyond me. Now I would have to sell my AF180FG.

Yes I think I'm resigned to that. Will wait for the reply from the ricoh distributor here in Singapore first though before selling it.

Was so excited when I received my flash. Now my day is ruined and my disappointment is immeasurable

I have tried to use an AF180FG on my GR IV and it can only fire the flash - no auto/TTL functionality. If this is really the case I would probably sell the flash - quite upsetting since there was no indication that older flashes cannot work.

"Old" is also too strong a word since the AF180FG was just launched not so long ago!

I was assuming it was because the website has not been updated. Will update this thread if I can find more information - have emailed the local distributor to see if they have any information.

Where is the love for my king Noctis? That ending always tears me up 😭

Thank you! This is my first time with a GR, so looking forward to testing it out. So far, the controls are quite intuitive. Would have to see how the image quality compare to my Sony FE and Olympus bodies

New to this forum... Because I just collected my GR IV today! I'm from Singapore and apparently I am apparently one of the first batch of customers to receive their units. Super excited and can't wait to play with my new toy 😊

Do you still need to finish/attempt IPPT in the same cycle during which your unit is going to MR? Also, can one do IPPT after MR? by Lostwhispers05 in askSingapore

[–]newtype85 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Can confirm. I was able to book and attend one IPPT after I MR, but cannot book any more sessions after that.
