hi all,
I'm Aloysius from Singapore and already have the FGA, CDG. Was teaching the FGA programme in Singapore but will be in California for a year starting 7 September 2016, and therefore I am thinking of going to GIA Carlsbad to read the GG programme as a revision.
Will be bringing lots of stones over from Asia as well!

Since you are going to be here for a while why not join one of the local rock clubs and do some rock hounding. Singapore is a small country so there are probably not many rock hounding possibilities there. North County has a number of fee tourmaline digs, but there are tons of beautiful jaspers and agates in the deserts and many other minerals as well.
Yeah, the tourmaline mines are awesome--we've gotten some amazing stones for much less than they would have cost to buy from pegmatite bags at the Himalaya mine--definitely not salted or sorted through based on what we've gotten out of them.
