its a very tedious job to be done and i doubt any typical technicians will help you.

the best bet will be going around and hunt for a converter.

the 2.5mm to 3.5mm convertor looks very much like the 3.5mm to 1/4in convertors that are supplied with more 'big' headphones, albeit in a smaller scale.
I've seen a tonne of them in SimLim (both square and tower).
LHS has them and hung bros if I'm not wrong.

although i have no idea what you were saying, ill go down to take a look.

So i guess LHS is one of the shops selling cheaper converters?

Also, I'm looking for wireless converter...meaning the converter is just a piece where i can plug in the 2.5mm headphone and it converts and i plug in to the other 3.5mm. So its connected and no string is in between.

Your 'wireles convertor' caught my attention. You meant the conversion plugs I suppose. It is available in the stores in Sim Lim Tower, Sim Lim Square and every other shops mentioned above. They should be relatively easy to hunt. :)
If impressing/being impressed is how it gets you around, forget it. It is not gonna happen.

Same here...the "wireless converter" just seems so :o :D

Anyways just to add on, you could most probably find this "converter less the wire" = adapter at the many mobile phone accessories located in SLS...your using it for your HP isnt it?
