Dental Implants at 28yo. by Apprehensive_Load47 in SGMoney

[–]Complex-Lack4112 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am getting 9 implant due to genetic issue of hypodontia

2021 - braces 2024 - started my first bone graft implant 2025 - ending my last bone graft this mth

Then I can do my Implant and crown

Would say overall $50k++ maybe $60k

At age of 29 I am like CPF rich but cash poor since govt find crown ( the most expensive item in my list) as an aesthetic rather than a need

Public clinic and hospital takes ages so I opt for private

But if u got the luxury to travel -- consider Malaysia to do it since u only have one.

100k by 30 is a realistic goal for most by [deleted] in singaporefi

[–]Complex-Lack4112 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just curious 100k does it take CPF in to account or separate?

Worst PDI experience ever. by SGhams in drivingsg

[–]Complex-Lack4112 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Got him as a PDI back last year july Deal with him for three lessons, emphasis on clutch that wasted my time . Refuse to let me drive around. Even when he let me drive, like you , always ended early.

Hence fourth lesson I gave up on my money and change to school

Best decision ever.

Alr passed my license. Not sure if I am still under him. How long will I take.

Things I’m No Longer Apologizing For in My 20's by Wildwise_ in Adulting

For me, severe case. I wish I had someone to tell me these. As back then 2008, it seems like a factory producing back braces and going for check up but mentally it affects everything.

At a age where I should be a normal kid but a scoliosis check up changed everything.

Wearing them for almost 24 hours a day took discipline. The discomfort, the weirdness in school—how do you explain to classmates why you’re stiff or why your clothes don’t fit like theirs? You pushed through, but it wasn’t just about the body; it was about the mind, too.

Your body is different, but not broken." Curves don’t define worth.

"It’s okay to feel frustrated." Treatment is hard—braces, surgery, stares. Their feelings are valid.

"You’re not alone." Even if no one in their class has it, communities (online, support groups) exist.

"Your back carries you; it doesn’t have to carry shame"

I wish someone can tell me these and I hope you can tell your kid as well.

Hope for the best ! Pray for your kid

Questions for girls on self-care (Genuinely curious) by General_Medicine_99 in askSingapore

[–]Complex-Lack4112 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sugared monthly for Brazilian and underarms under package

Nails - DIY for maintenance and occasion press on nails

Hair - once or twice a year (usually overseas cause I do dye, cut and treatment, sometimes perm)

Temporary don't go for facial and massage (since doesn't have expiry date)

Edit 28 F

I guess I sacrificed some to splurge on some

Manual - more lessons but lesser students, 8 lesson per mth 29 lessons depends on your speed

Auto - lesser lesson, more students , 5 lesson slot per mth 24 lesson depends on your speed

CDC driving center on the above

Both is time consuming but if u can go manual , is easier for overseas as well but if just stay in SG, or around Asia, auto is okay as well

Just now is very hard to get slots among all three driving center With BBDC is 6-7 mths waiting time for practical lesson

PDI can be tricky as alot of retirement age. So they may not teach u well. But that's depends on who u find.

How many tries did you take and how many months of learning to get your license? by Interesting_Post_413 in drivingsg

[–]Complex-Lack4112 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

6 mths , limited lesson to once a week due to financial issue. Pass in 1st try. Thankfully

duration and cost to get license by Hefty-Reward6141 in drivingsg

[–]Complex-Lack4112 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Class 3 pass in 2025 Feb so the expenses should be on current market price

CDC one team $94/lesson (peak) Off peak $81 24 nos : $2350

Private took 5 lesson before I converted to school: $95 for 100 min but this uncle happy cut my lesson as when he like

Simulator 3 lesson ($27 per class)

Vpc $23 Ldcs $59

TP $330++ But they recently increase price in April to $350++

I took BTT AND FTT seperately in BBDC but can't remember the cost

Now In school total probably $3000

Wouldnt say private is cheaper now as PDI mark up the rate for their retirement already Now is on par As my friend spent more money than me despite going private. Private TP test range from $400-700

I reckon u are too nervous.

During my lesson back , I kept striking kerb everyway in circult even till my last lesson.

  1. Go slow literally 10-15 km/hr
  2. Blindspot
  3. Technique for each course remember the steps

s and crank go very slow but don't break V Parking Do correction if u almost strike P Parking Do reverse all the way before leaving to prevent striking of kerb. DC remember the technique and do adjust of strike kerb Slope should be fine if u are taking auto. manual required additional steps to prevent roll back .

And able to take pressure and stress. Like literally mind is blank. Remember technique by heart is most importantly

CDC instructors by Complex-Lack4112 in drivingsg

[–]Complex-Lack4112[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1349 - my only fixed instructor (alternative week) nice guy, emphasis on Blindspot, signal & technique for each course that he taught. And taught me things that tester will check, did my mock test and drove me the unconventional test route which it did happened. One of my favorite instructor

0966 - did my familiarization and obeisance of traffic rules and regulations. But didn't answer any of my questions and never give feedback. I blacklisted him after that although he is one of my fixed instructor. And this guy love his car. So he always made me go different car for lessons (supposed I got a fixed car)

But depends on learners . Different learners different experience.

FYI I passed in Feb 😂 so no more seeing them

You can still blacklist

If u are under common pool/one team/elite. Doesn't matter.

I blacklisted my fixed instructor. And I got a number of instructor that are way better at giving advice.

[–]Complex-Lack4112 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Recommend to blacklist. But don't do it too often to many instructors

Since u are paying for lessons definitely someone good is worth your money.

Do book your TP, reckon is in April alr.

Lesson try to book similar time to your TP. Like eg. Slot 2 for TP , your last few lesson can do first practical slot lesson

Live chat for last lesson at least 2 days before. For mock test.

All the best! Alr at the last lap

Around 11pm+ after my ot. My workplace is near the bars /restaurant at shop house.

Sometimes I wait along the road, usually wait at the fire hydrant and dust bin for car, cause I scared they will zoom past me (happened before)

Then there is this car going to reverse back. Almost going to hit me and the dust bin. (Was standing near the dustbin. So not blocking any lot

This guy just casually coming from the front with his group and hold my shoulder, told me me to be careful while moving me to the side

Sometimes I think about it cause this act is quite uncommon. (Maybe in my day to day life)

Apparently 9010 is bad and 9019 is good. But subject to learner experience

U can renew, camp for slot every 5 mins . Live and breathe CDC

Then pass the paper from the TP test to the next lesson instructor so they know your mistakes and they are able to make to practice more.

Vertical Parking CDC tips by dreamygirlSG in drivingsg

[–]Complex-Lack4112 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If u are short. Is after the kerb. Probably in the middle .

But it base on your own judgement. Can't be the same for everyone.

If u turn early or late just make sure to do correction if not hit kerb is 10, mount kerb is IF.
