hard la bro.

 

[Gluttonish]

Really ar? den i better change all by this week, before it drops again.

Tamashi, blink blink means changing soon ar? i thought it means they are running out of that currency!

will go check it out again later.

the last round it peaked at 5,82 or something, that was October LAST year.

throughout the rest of this year, it was hovering at about 5.5-5.6+

and thats just the XE.com rate. take away 3 cents and you'll get the approximate moneychangers' rate.

This would lead me to believe that the current rate is actually quite attractive,

Also, in Oct last year, the rates were attractive because of the economic slowdown. Singapore was the first to recover from the slump in SEA, thus the stronger currency.

This is just my personal observation and guess la, if anyone has a valid reason otherwise, be my guest, prove me wrong.

Cheers everyone.
Happy holidays!
