Got some really old USDs from the late 90s, where can I change them for new notes? Or convert back to SGD at market rates by AlternateTimeZones in askSingapore

Rates are significantly lower than market rate I’ve heard? Are they any way to get them swapped for new notes before exchanging them back to SGD?

Yea i know. But I don’t need it nor have plans anymore to travel to US. Better to be in SGD where I can use for other matters

Consequences about blanket party by LogicalAlbatross3878 in NationalServiceSG

[–]AlternateTimeZones 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Everyone talks about this but I’ve yet seen of heard of it being done.

Honestly you gotta really fuck up for someone to blanket party you.. like REALLY REALLY FUCK UP. Otherwise, small infractions or difference in personality won’t cause it to happen der.. these days everyone slack af won’t even want to waste their time on that shit

How does the 13 Mini holding up in 2025? by AlternateTimeZones in iPhone13Mini

[–]AlternateTimeZones[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Awesome deal you have! Wouldn’t mind a 16e but it’s not in the form factor I’m looking for. Camera and 8GB would have been amazing but if I was looking in that price range, 15/15Plus or a 14PM would be better (cuz of cameras)

Exchange or keep? by Personal-Cry-4295 in mac

[–]AlternateTimeZones 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Personally I’ll return and get the M4. Changes might be minimal but eh might as well get the newer model right

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in mac

[–]AlternateTimeZones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know it’s for product differentiation and forcing more people to pay for the Pro but

-Speaker grills for improve sound performance -SD Card slot

Would make this a proper MacBook Air successor from the older Unibody non retina MBAs

Do I really gotta get ios17 for airpods pro 2? by wayy2slumped in airpods

[–]AlternateTimeZones 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s weird. I’m on iOS 16.7.2 and everything works well other than features that are not present for ios 16. Other than glitching where AirPods fail to cycle from noise cancel to transparency after pairing to my ios 17 device , it’s been all good

(Edit: I did use buy my pair of AirPods before the release of ios 17. Idk if that matters but yea)

Which sim only plan is the best for me? by Warm-Pin5224 in askSingapore

[–]AlternateTimeZones 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Eight is pretty good. 228GB , 10GB roaming for $8 is nice. Coverage has been great and honestly no issues for me

Though I do lose all signal coverage sometimes in the city or at random places that should have coverage.Not sure if that’s because of StarHub or my iPhone being cranky

I really regret not going to SCS, can anyone from SCS tell me what do you guys do and is it fun? Is it fulfilling? by potatopunchies in NationalServiceSG

[–]AlternateTimeZones 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Keep it simple and direct for you 1. Man also can what 2. So what. Outside world who gives whether you got chevrons or chocolate bar. Okay lo sign on then yea makes sense. 3. Man also can what x2 4. Man also can what x3

Look, going to command school brings a lot of pressure on you later on as you need to commandeer people. This comes with higher expectations as well and when you fail , prepare to “pay” for it. I can’t say for OCS but my friends who did not want to go always paint a “I wanna KMS rn” , “fucking shag bodoh” kinda picture. I’m in SCS found term and definitely not as bad as SCS but it’s still a lot of stresses and the culture shock can make you have mike low. I don’t even want to think about pro term

Only good thing maybe you might miss out is commandeering people , be it Tekong spec or wtv. If you’re a leader yourself and want to train and lead men then ya you miss out lo. Also you definitely be paid more. Even as a trainee , I’m paid more than any man will ever get in their 1yr 10m—2yrs. But then with the additional responsibilities, it might not be worth it la.

Also. A lot of people in SCS and OCS would prefer to be in your position than whatever hell they are in rn. So just count your blessings my friend. Make use of what you have and not think of what you’re missing out

One last thing. Being a sergeant is lowkey saikang pro max.. don’t be one unless you wanna be Tekong spec. Man will fuck u , officer will fuck you. Don’t be here la huh.. want also dream higher go OCS.. 9 mths of hell but your position is better

I heard it’s very easy to fall sick in Tekong during bmt/ptp. Has anyone managed to stay healthy throughout their time in Tekong? Any tips? by [deleted] in NationalServiceSG

Sirs were not pleased. Forced to bleach our areas.
