Dear Mr KIA,
I’m a visitor who’ll only be in Singapore for a year. Do you know where I can rent some furniture?—Frantic Foreigner
Dear Frantic Foreigner,

Dear Mr KIA,
After living abroad for more than a decade, I have returned home to Singapore. Meeting long-lost relatives and reacquainting myself with the local culture has made me curious about my ancestry. I’d like to trace my family tree. Where do I start?—Inquiring Returnee
Dear Inquiring Returnee,

Dear Mr KIA,
It’s my first wedding anniversary this year and to show my appreciation for my other half, I’ve painted a small portrait of the two of us. I’m quite pleased with my handiwork. Now, all that’s left is to find a frame to match. Could you recommend a custom frame maker?—Fussy Framer
Dear Fussy Framer,

Dear Mr KIA,
I’ve been roped into organizing the company retreat this year but have put off planning for weeks. It starts Wednesday and we’re going to need some cheesy custom printed T-shirts for team-building activities. I have no idea where to go. Help! –Procrastinating Planner
Dear Procrastinating Planner,

Dear Mr KIA,
I’m an aspiring funnyman who’s just moved here from New York and want to test my comedy chops on a local audience. Where should I go?—Wandering Wisecracker

Dear Mr KIA,
I have a serious milk addiction, but the trouble is I’m lactose intolerant and the taste of soy and rice substitutes just don’t do it for me. Help!—Dairy Lover
Dear Dairy Lover,

Dear Mr KIA,
I’ll be heading overseas for a few weeks and I’m worried about my Alsatian. I don’t have a maid to look after her and she’s a pretty big pooch, so I wouldn’t want to burden any of my friends. Are there any pet hotels in Singapore that offer boarding and more than just a stay in a tiny kennel?—Dog Gone It!
Dear Dog Gone It!,

Dear Mr Know It All,
It’s the festive season and I would like to impress my future mother-in-law with some proper sweet treats for Christmas. The problem is that she’s allergic to eggs and gelatin, and I’m domestically hopeless. Where can I shop for some quality vegetarian cakes and cookies?—Egg No
Dear Egg No,

Dear Mr. KIA,
My job often requires me to consume alcohol during events and client meetings, however, as I live quite a distance out of town, I need to drive every day. I’ve had one too many close calls driving home and want to be able to know for sure that I’m within the safe limit. What are some of the precautions I can take? —Booze Rules Everything Around Me
Dear BREAM,

Dear Mr. KIA,
With over 1,000 years of recorded history as a place where people from around the world gathered to trade, there must be wonders in Singapore waiting to be discovered. To my horror, overseas treasure hunters are well aware of this. One American came here, searched our beaches and left with dozens of gold and silver rings along with mountains of coins. For myself and for my country, I can’t stand idly by any longer. Where can I get a metal detector? – The Seeker
Dear TS,
