errm, there is no JLPT lessons at JCS but there is JLPT prep class...

ok more specifically their advanced 1 course. Cause i am taking JLPT3 this year and according to their website those with JLPT3 can take advanced 1 course. So i suppose advanced 1 is for JLPT2. Since i am taking and not have the JLPT3 cert by December i would have to take their placement exams...thinking it might be good practice for the coming JLPT3 exam.

I've just ordered my denshi jisho from Amazon.jp
http://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/product/B001P7OMCO
interested parties can go take a look because i have observed the price and exchange rate for some time now. I think its now a good time to buy.

Item ~ 300SGD
Shipping ~25SGD (vpost cause they do not ship internationally)
Total ~325

Exchange rate now drop till very low: 15.47 for 1000 yen.
So barrin will get his about 294SGD.

However guys, 1 word of caution.
When you use your credit card, bank will charge about 1-2% for the use.
So you will end up paying a bit higher.

Yup agree, i also not sure i will end up paying how much. According to some online resources Mastercard will charge according to www.xe.com. Try the converter there to have a glimpse of what you might be paying.

If its 1-2% more its still not that bad...
Thing is with the currency conversion when you use credit card.

Visit www.vpost.com.sg to find out more. They are having 10% off for shipping charges now. I could have helped fellow forumers here to bring this in but there is a restriction at Singapore customs whereby anything more than 400SGD they will charge GST. So....
