Think there was a thread some way on this ... Following the poster's advice I got mine at #01-01a Sim Lim Tower. Think the shop was called Space Centre. < $30. Seems to be working, reading is about 2-3 % off from my digicabi.

Home fix got sell those d**m big ones u sometimes find in kitchens. Analogue, not expensive, looks impressive.

Alternatively, buy those clocks that have a hygrometer in them. Quite common nowadays. But how accurate i don know.

If ur home is not air-con, u should be able to find the humidity level in the daily weather forecast... but note that it is just an estimate for ur room.

Thanks Bros...
At least I have a guide where to search!!!
My room's air-con on for night time only.
When the air-con not on, the "hygrometer" in the dry cabinet read between 50 to 60 %.
But After The Air-con on after two hour, let the dry cabinet's door open, the reading will go down to 45%, Is this sound strange?
i scared that the built in hygrometer didn't work properly, so i need a better hygrometer to confirm the condition. if $30 can get a ZHUN one, it will be great!!

I tot u wanted a hygrometer for ur room. For the dry cabi then i suggest u get a smaller one. Homefix got sell one type that comes with a thermometer as well. It's analogue, accuracy not sure, meant for cars. Cost less than $15.

Get a hygrometer it works very well. Comes in analog and digital. Do have to calibrate it from time to time.

A cheap analog hygrometer can start from SGD 10 to an high end digital set SGD 200.

several shops in sim lim tower do sell it.
