May I check with you guys, where can I find one-stop shop to buy developing solutions and equipment?
I would like to try developing my own film rolls.

Thanks, :)
 

momobot: go to ruby photo at peninsula,

Ruby Photo Co (Pte) Ltd
111 North Bridge Rd 01-01 Peninsula Shopping Complex, 179804, Singapore
p: 63380236

one stop...everything... i got my stuff from there:

* paterson tank & reels
* thermometer
* clips
* graduated cylinder
* dark bag
* film & developer

bottle opener i used from the kitchen.

get the uncle there to teach you how to load the film onto the reel.
(youtube is also a good place to learn)

raytoei
 

150 bucks for complete set of basics
 

They have loads of developers do some research before u go!

You can get some few things there that aren't available from Ruby.
1. Hewes stainless steel tank instead of paterson plastic tank
2. Some powder developers which are not available at Ruby, IIRC currently Ruby only carries DD-X, D76, HC110
3. Printfile archival sleeves, made of polypropylene instead of the paper, you can do contact prints with these sleeves
4. Metal canister with DX code, instead of plastic one without DX code

For film clips, film picker, thermometer, darkbag, you can get from Ruby

If you need focusing loupe, light box, developing tank etc, you can also try Seng Cheong. The uncle there is very friendly.

Thanks for all your inputs! Noted. :)
 

Welcome, I just made the move myself. Here are a couple of links on the process itself. I have followed the instructions on the CS link myself.
