Hi all, 

So I did it again, waster of all money but this time it is the ultimatum. 

I present to you, TESLA MODEL 3

As of 26 Dec, it is still the only model available in Singapore. Special cases for some who had to parallel import. 

First time diving into the world of cars in Singapore and I have to say Singapore really makes it difficult for Singaporeans to have a car..

Hopefully all goes well and i can have smooth journey in singapore car ownership.

Pending items would be the insurance cover note and the full payment of the vehicle.

Alright so I am here to recommend this new Browser if you have not decided on one yet or am tired of waiting for your pages to load after tapping on enter. Fear not this new browser will blow you away with the speed.

It was released on January 15 2020 which is quite recent and is compatible to all versions of Windows and MacOS. It is a replacement of the legacy version of microsoft Edge which is of poor performance where it renders stuff using alot of CPU power. It also uses its own "Blink" and "V8" engines.

There are multiple scores on the web to test a browser but I have chosen HTML5Test which is the basic one

The results are in on my laptop. Score is pretty good as compared to my all time favourite previously which scored 523, 5 points lesser.

So I have decided, Microsoft Edge with Chromium will be my go to browser for now.

So, have recently gotta my hands on this new bank account and card! Yes! The uob one account and credit card.

So all in all, its criteria to get the most interest is to spend $500 monthly and set the account for salary crediting and its done!! More savings to come. Have since given up on dbs multiplier as it was too troublesome. Ocbc also came to mind but it still need investment to unlock its full potential interest. Signing off again.

FA3 & FA4 will be continued in Singapore.. Good luck to me.

Let make this memory count!




*Update 1-5 September
So there is this 5 day assignment where we had to do up a customer deals project and the front end (client) and back end (server).

*Update XX September

SO, i managed to pass the foundation term as seen in picture. That concludes my training. Thank you, thank you.

So..... Its been 970 days using my currnt phone, the iPhone 6s Plus.

Was deciding really critically whether to upgrade to the latest XS Max which came out in *Singapore on 20 Sept 2018.

The cons of upgrading: My phone still works fine and has a battery case, what more can I ask for?

The pros, the futuristic design and the dual sim card *Hong Kong edition which I am trying to get.

And so, I did. On a fateful day, I managed to chance upon a person giving up their xs max hk dual sim edition phone at 1500 for 256gb. Yes I know it is expensive but the price for second hand right now is about 1850 for a hk dual sim 64gb. The person even further discounted at 1470 due to charger and headset not included which I agreed. Will update once I have done the deal.


Awesome, cycled down to bishan to buy from carousell seller. Was a malaysian and was friendly enough to explain what to look out for when buying phone. Gave me 2 cases, 1 cracked but was still ok, and a 15D screen protecter. 5D screen protector was applied. Funny thing is during the payment process, 3 policemen came to check our IDs and understand the situation, nothing too serious. After the process, I cycled back. The phone is awesome. Has faceid, 4gb ram, 256gb, Hk edition dual physical sim and supports wireless charging. Guess I will have to stick with this for another minimum 3 years. Overall a good purchase!

So here I am again, writing to you about something funny once again.
Have you heard of the App called "Wish"?
Yes! the one where you buy now, wait a weeks or months before it arrives?
Might I also add that the price is slashed tremendously when compared to other platforms?

So recently I crazily or naively bought...... SEEDS! Blue venus flytrap seeds from the App.

Well, I don't think its real but I went ahead to purchase it and it arrived, from Laos.

The airmail also had some scary declaration like "This does not contain something illegal".

And so, the germination and growing process begin..

Will have to update this blog as time goes...

 

Yes, it's growing well it seems.

*** Update - This post is dead

Been awhile since I last posted as I was busy doing nothing! So, during last month, late May, I decided to use my SkillsFuture Credit to sign up for a language course. Was deciding whether Korean of Japanese. Since I have alot of exposure to the Korean language, I went ahead to sign up for Japanese class. Found a Elementary I from the website over at SkillsFutureSG. I saw the course structure and decided that this is the one mainly because of the duration and the word 'Intensive'. It was a 1 month class and so why not? First day began on 28 May 2018. Every lesson starts at 9:55am to 11:50am - 11:55am.

Paid my due near last minute 25 May 2018 ($210 + $60 = only pay $60):

Here is my 'PERFECT' observation and review:
So the routine was to take the lift of Blk 204 Hougang Street 21, press the 4th Storey button. When reached the fourth level, on the left would be where I registered for the class and on the right, it was the classroom. So everyday(except for the public holiday and weekends) I would enter the classroom, sign in with my signature on an attendance list (Have not missed a single lesson). Collect my mini listening quiz (first few lessons) results.

***During the later lessons, there were homework and this is the time where I will put my worksheets into the A4 box cover lid set on the table and went to sit at my usual spot on the front most 2nd seat to the right. Might I add, the teacher will mark our worksheets during the lesson and will return the marked worksheets before we leave.

***During the second class, there was a new student Brandon came in. Yep so I wasn't the latest lol. This was a snippet of the name list before Brandon and I was added. I think 5 dropped out in the end, sad.

So when we start, the teacher will volume down the music from his Ipad and continue. Yes, you didn't hear me wrong, volume down only. So the music is still playing based on the play icon at the top right of the status bar of the Ipad. I also realize that the songs are on the alternate. So on even days its the same song and on odd days a different set.

To begin the lesson, the teacher (at this point I will name him Nakai) would say "Hajime Masu" which means "Let's Begin". We would then read vocabulary or Examples from the textbook. On occasion (about 4-5 times), Nakai will want us to take out our Hiragana printed text (It was the textbook examples but in Hiragana) to practice reading in hiragana. It had Kanji (chinese characters) but had mini hiragana for translation. I only liked that part as it really could be used to read signboards in Japan. Nakai will also give out reading exercises and signboards (during the kore and sore part, "What is this?", "Is this a Chi Ka Tet Tsu(Stapler)?", "Whose Stapler is that?") kind of questions.

So we learnt the easy part and then I got tongue tied when we got to the usage of "Ni", "De", "E", "Ga", "O" not in the correct order. It was mind boggling as they can be inter-swapped and that was why I got many wrong too.

When exiting the classroom, I would always try an effort to say like "Thank you" and learned some new phrases during lesson like "Mata Ashita(See you tomorrow)" and stuff and had Nakai told me "Otukaresama(You worked hard)" but didn't reciprocate lol. Too bad, can't show off..

Sadly, all things come to and end on 26 June 2018 where it was the last day and the last day only consists of the test which I got 43/50 (7 wrong) 86%. The listening test was too much as the speaker volume was not loud enough to hear the conversation and determine it was right or wrong.

Laid out all my course material and certificate to take a group photo and back to the book stand stash.

Wouldn't want to forget this experience and memory. Till next time!
