1Post Office, whatever the Post Office tell you you'll need, the ones the post office sells you, not too much, and put it in the box at the post office after buying stamps?– GagravarrCommented Dec 3, 2015 at 17:51

3If sending postcards is not about travelling, then I frankly do not know what is. Maybe this question could be closed or downvoted because it doesn't show much research effort, but IMO it's definitely on topic.– dratCommented Dec 4, 2015 at 1:10

Stamps can be purchased pretty much anywhere in Singapore: SingPost offices, obviously, but also "S.A.M." machines found at all larger MRT stations, most convenience stores and newsagents, and most souvenir shops that sells postcards, although possibly at a small premium. Even Changi Airport has a post office in Terminal 2.
A regular postcard from Singapore to anywhere in the world including India costs S$0.60, except Malaysia and Brunei, which are just S$0.40. Stamps are available for the exact price, or you can use two local mail stamps at S$0.30 each, equaling exactly S$0.60.
To mail your postcard, drop it in the "Overseas" slots of a SingPost posting box, which are even more ubiquitous: you've virtually guaranteed to find one outside an MRT station exit, and of course at a post office or next to a SAM machine. Your card should reach India in 5-10 days, although what happens at the Indian end is another story...
