now that the maybe there is really a glimpse of bring able to make it to US...
I decided to be kiam peng and check out the exchange rate (especially considering USD$ so weak now)

then i went to plot out the Difference in SDG$ versus the amount of USD$ that i changed.
I used original USD$ as 1.46 (3months ago) and those today (1.4014).
So the difference for USD$3000 is close to SGD200!
