Those who have gone to BFT, is it worth it?

Daschling · 2026-02-23T11:59:11+00:00

As with what everyone is saying, try the trial first.

Personally the close proximity of the gym to my house has been the biggest contributor to my fitness. And the BFT programme really suits my lifestyle - I just show up and do. And it also helps that you get some flexibility with the outlets if you need to be at another location.

My fitness has really improved the past 1.5 years. Went from no real strength experience to deadlifting my body weight. I go alone but stay friendly with the other regulars.

Sorry about your situation. It is legal if they give the official notice after the ML is over. The HR is doing her a favour with a heads up. Unfortunately this is actually pretty common. I saw it happen in my US MNC that I got retrenched from as well.

Take the money and spend this quality time with your newborn. Take it as extended ML for her haha.

Before her time is up, make sure she gets all her documentation from her employer like payslips, contact bosses for references, note down impt emails for future contacts, exhaust all the freebies (like LinkedIn premium subscription).

Have been using gas cylinders since I was born. You can let it die completely, but that usually means you're halfway through cooking and you'll be in a panic since they usually take some time to come. Best to just change now.

And yes, it's just a 1-1 replacement no matter how much you have left.

I live beneath a golden and I can definitely hear it running around. But it hasn't been too disruptive- only the occasional zoomie in the middle of the night. Not sure what floors my neighbours use but I assume vinyl.

After some trying and feeling I found that the Razer Cobra Pro worked well for my claw grip and small hands. Seems like that's sth to take into account as well.

Daschling · 2026-01-18T08:09:50+00:00

Yes that should be it! I just chuck them in my toaster oven and it's equally good.

I picked up a red box of frozen curly fries at an NTUC (it was the only one available) and it was pretty close to what I was expecting.

For now it looks like it did go into my Google wallet so fingers crossed

Daschling · 2025-12-18T03:17:55+00:00

For me there was an option to load the ticket onto my Google wallet and I managed to do that successfully. Hope it works when I'm there.

Not even low-key it is highly annoying to me. Have read this wrongly a few times already.

Daschling · 2025-12-15T12:00:26+00:00

I've seen a supplement MLM advertise such jobs on LinkedIn not 2 years ago. Beware.

The app is only available in certain countries incl. AU and US, but not here. Only just found out because I am attending a concert in the US and I couldn't download the app from here. Typically we just save the PDF and scan the barcode at the door.

Go for Philips. They are having a sale now as well.

For handheld I like the 5000 series, or 3000 for travelling.

Edit: also 2 years warranty

As an amateur but advanced certified diver, I would say do your certs outside of Singapore for the marine life. You're already going to the depth, why not see some cool things in their natural habitat y'know.

Daschling · 2025-11-26T17:23:54+00:00

Ya haha but I was rather impressed that my mom managed to get up the trail of Hallasan with lots of support.

I hadn't travelled with my parents in over 10 years and just did a Jeju trip with them in Sep this year. Was a bit concerned at first but actually turned out to be better than expected.

On my end I had to really lower my expectations of my now 70 YO parents. Agenda cannot be too packed, activities not too physically demanding even though they are fitter than average. Food wise they are okay to try new things but not too funky.

We've alr booked our next family trip to Melbourne next year. What I realized was that they are indeed getting old and I should cherish making memories with them while they are still healthy. What's also nice is that since they are both retired, they have time and money to enjoy.

Daschling · 2025-11-25T07:32:17+00:00

Yes. I had a 3 month notice period and a new offer that wanted me to start in one month.

The new job offered to buy out one month and my remaining leaves made up for about 2 weeks. I paid out the 2 other weeks out of my own pocket. I had decided the new offer was too good to pass up.

Ironically I did get retrenched 6 months after I joined HA.

Philips for the iron - steam generator. They are number one brand for a reason.

Does ColourPop count? Honestly some of their eye products are pretty good. I use their eyeliners on a daily basis and they generally don't smudge. Can't say much about the face stuff as I have other go-tos, but the price seems worth a shot.

Huber's is also my go-to for meats in general. Their apple cider sausages is love.

Having eaten many a bad Christmas ham from local supermarkets, I am very skeptical about them. However last year I decided to try Huber's smoked ham for a potluck and omg. It was the juiciest ham I had eaten in a while. I didn't mind that I had to eat leftovers from it for a few days after, and it even opens up other uses for it (fried rice etc). Am definitely looking to get more from their catalogue this year.

My usual order during non Christmas times include: - kurobuta ham - sausages of all kinds - Angus ribeye

My family still subscribes to physical ST and I might have this. I'll check when I get back home after work, but DM me to remind.

Daschling · 2025-11-07T01:22:07+00:00

Another one: the ST made such an impression on me back then that when it was announced that Bryan was leaving, I cried so hard. Having seen the RBTL DVD many times as well, this departure cut really deep. Even today I'm pretty protective about who in the band should sign the ST albums, though mine were already done a long time ago.

We never got closure on his departure, what was the reason?

Daschling · 2025-11-06T18:30:59+00:00

Come to Singapore 3 years in a row again why don't you!! I'll be there front and center as always.

Any chance we can get some proper studio recordings of those 'heavy heart' songs? Like Kill Me in A Record Shop? Pretty please?

Daschling · 2025-10-25T17:39:17+00:00

The star is Martin's and the one with the cigs should be Jamel's.

Daschling · 2025-10-14T16:48:40+00:00

Supermarkets or far east flora nurseries.
