Dear Mr. KIA,
I’m a bit of a gaming nerd—console games, PC games, card games, board games, you name it—and am not afraid to admit it. Trouble is, I just moved to Singapore a couple of months ago, and haven’t found a store that sells a decent selection of games. Could you point me in some directions?—Player Killer

Dear Mr. KIA,
I’m desperately in need of a change. Having worked as lab assistant for the last five years, I’ve grown bored of the monotony. I’ve always dreamed of being a rock photographer but before I give up my day job, could you recommend some photography courses to get me started?—Annie Leibovitz Wannabe

Dear Mr. KIA,
I’ve recently started dating the woman of my dreams and she’s a real beach bunny. I can’t wait to frolic with her in her itsy bitsy bikini, but there’s just one thing I need to take care of first. Do you have any suggestions for where I can take care of the jungle on my back? – Hairy Harry

Dear Mr. KIA,
I used to be quite the looker in my younger days but after years in a desk-bound job and far too many fast-food meals, I’ve become a little rotund. I’ve tried dieting and exercising, but it’s just not something I can commit to right now. I’m sick of old, oversized T-shirts! Where can I find clothes that will help me feel sexy again? —Big in Bishan

Dear Mr KIA,
I sat through a Bollywood movie marathon the other day and actually enjoyed it. In fact, that has given me itchy feet—I want to learn how to dance like they do in those flicks. Where can I go for Bollywood dance classes?

Dear Mr KIA,
Don’t you absolutely hate it when you get really bad sunburn and you have to spend the next week peeling dried skin off your face? I have to do that—everyday. Eczema’s a bit like getting burnt in the sun except you also suffer from pimples that instantly dry up to become nasty black scabs. Sounds horrendous? It is. Help! —Itch, Please

Dear Mr KIA,
There are two things I love more than anything in the world: Reading and coffee. I know most people do both in the comfort of their own home but I have really noisy neighbors. Do book cafes exist in Singapore? —Bookbean
