Babystarlet: I have yet to do my curtains yet, but my aunt was telling me she got this Malaysian curtain guy to do hers and it was affordable and beautiful. Apparantly, he will bring the samples to your house for you to select so you do not have to travel cross the causeway.. Will keep you updated if I have the information. Also, my mum was telling me that you can go to tanjong katong complex where there are lots of curtain shops too =)
