D and I visited an old haunt of my childhood. This is Sim Lim Tower, a hackers paradise, an entire building dedicated to the wholesale and retail of anything that will fit on a printed circuit board and more. Radioshack has nothing on this place. I mean, there's a shop selling only cable ties. If the smell of solder and flux excites you, this is the place to be. Also recommended, Tech Publishing in the basement level. It still is easy to get books, mostly published in India, ranging from integrated circuit plans to electronics projects although I will say that the physical quality of the books has increased tremendously. They no longer bio-degrade while you are reading them. Here are some pictures.
