Really cool! Thanks for sharing! It's a great idea to paint the keys with nail polish to differentiate them. Now I know what to do with my nail polish that are hardly used.

Creating Ambient Lighting for TV Viewing

TV viewing in total darkness can cause eye strain and some ambient lighting will help relieve this.

For folks who are interested to add bias lighting to their TV, here's something you can try

Why don't you try vPost (http://www.vpost.com.sg/)? I have been using it since 2012 after being referred by my banker NSman. Now, I cannot stop buying electronics from Amazon.

Did you check that the seller is AMAZON, and not one of the others...

Do read the T & C of free shipping to Singapore:

Amazon.com Help: Order with FREE AmazonGlobal Saver Shipping

A quick summary of how to look for items with free shipping:

Free shipping within USA isn't the same as international free shipping..

You need to look for items from Amazon (check the shipper - some are Not by Amazon eg something can be sold by another company, eg Cost Buy and fulfilled by Amazon, this won't qualify..)

Eg when you type "garden tools": when the search results come out you need to narrow it down to those with free international shipping to Singapore by checking the box on the left side of the screen:

International Shipping

AmazonGlobal Eligible

Thanks for the info. I used the Amazon link to the product you provided on your blog, which described that "you can just add it on to your amazon orders to enjoy free shipping" and I naturally assumed you had bought the same item with free shipping to SG.

Indeed the item is not sold and shipped by Amazon, I'll try to browse Amazon for a similar product sold and shipped by Amazon

Why don't you try vPost (http://www.vpost.com.sg/)? I have been using it since 2012 after being referred by my banker NSman. Now, I cannot stop buying electronics from Amazon.

Thanks! I've shopped Amazon since 1999 and have used vpost countless times. These days, too lazy to go through the extra steps to ship via vpost. Free shipping with minimum 125usd purchase is the most convenient

This is a good alternative, but I'll look for the easy way out first! Thanks!

The Amazon seller option is available below the price under "sellers"..

I have no financial interest in this product..

[elin1029 23]

Hey no doubt about that! I'm glad you introduced such a product to us as I do feel eye strain watching in complete darkness. I think the product is really cool. Now I just need to find a seller that would ship direct to sg. Thanks!

[petetherock 13]

I hope you found it..
