If you got those pill (medicine) casules that are empty you could probably make miniature paintbals, and they would probably fit into 8mm or 6mm pipe. 30mm is quite big hey

btw, my parents went to both Singapore and Japan (my aunt lived there for 17 years) last year, and they loved it there!

USD... i think 1SGD= 1.75 USD if i'm not wrong, but with economy here expected to boom to 7-8%, it should go down.

100 USD is a lot. I can get 500 balls for R150, and there are 7 rands in 1 dollar; so with all that, you should get 2333 balls! :shock:
