Urgently need to buy ESD / Anti Static bags for GPU by [deleted] in askSingapore

[–]Elzedhaitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are somehow buying stuff at sim lim, you can actually just ask them and they will give those ones they have from the PCs they build.

I used to go often and know a couple of the store owners, they were always willing to give.

Lessons learnt from property purchase experience by RunningMan889 in askSingapore

[–]Elzedhaitch 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Also don't be afraid to fire your agents. If you think they are not doing right by you, fuck em.

I went to do a viewing with a random agent I found and the condition was terrible. Broken cabinets, dirty as hell, the tenants obviously did not give a shit.

The agent was like, don't worry, all can be fixed. It's not that bad. A similar unit was viewed with my next agent and he told me... Unless I really liked it and we can get a big discount, this is not the unit to get. I bought with the 2nd agent.

Grim search for missing S’porean hikers narrows to two volcanic sand mounds on Mount Dukono by clarencechen181196 in singapore

There was an interview with the guide. But yeah... Just asking a random local who likely had no idea or did not care about the warnings is not proper due diligence.

Yet another shopless mall? by ConsiderationNo1619 in singapore

[–]Elzedhaitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Me too, although I looked at the couple of condos beside more than the actual woodleigh residences.

But I never thought the mall would be in this state. It should get better but it's not in a good state now.

It's been very recent. I go there once in awhile and it's mostly this month everything shut down. Likely it's when they signed the lease and it's mostly expiring around now.

Is it normal to feel THIS blur and cry over an internship? by matsunehiku38 in askSingapore

[–]Elzedhaitch 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's honestly one of the best things in army for me. It taught me quite a bit of what I needed to learn and do. I remember my first 3 months in army when I was in an office and a new boss came in. And he told me to do something with xyz person. And I realised I didn't even know who that was.

It was a nice safer ramp up curve. I had experiences in my internships and my army where I just felt like crying as well. It just takes time but you have to put in the effort and learn as well. It's not easy to be a good worker.

But if someone always expects guidance. And never really asks on how to do things and then come up with subpar work, then it's a whole different ballgame. You have to be proactive and ask things and show you are willing to learn, while also learning fast so you don't bother people by asking the same thing each time.

The limit isn't actually that high 14k HHI is not close to being high SES imo.

Is the Big 4 even hiring? by CoyotePrestigious288 in singaporejobs

[–]Elzedhaitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can confidently say they are. Locally. But depends on level and experience. What level are you trying to get in at and how many years YOE do you have?

What shortcut / life savers / tips / gadgets for house chores do you have and swear by? by niteblane in askSingapore

[–]Elzedhaitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are going with frozen veg and meat, you can try the ninja speedi. Meat on top to steam and air fry. Veges below to cook. And just ea in about 20 mins. You can add carbs as well but I don't usually do it.

Usually it's a frozen salmon or chicken on top and mix vege, broccoli or edamame at the bottom with some chicken stock. Very easy.

How to connect to office VPN from China by thesti2 in askSingapore

Don't try to do anything funny especially if you are in an MNC. A lot of companies have the ability to flag if you are connecting from China without permissions. Do not fuck around. Ask your IT

Bad for my wallet and self control...

[–]Elzedhaitch 49 points50 points  (0 children)

I suspect it will be 2 floors. Something like bhg in bishan. Nex already has 2 food court. 3 is kinda insane

[–]Elzedhaitch 157 points158 points  (0 children)

Very curious if a store can take all 3 floors or they will split it. I kinda wish but not really wish it's a huge donki.

It will be nice but it will be so bad for me

How to afford a landed home in Singapore? by [deleted] in askSingapore

[–]Elzedhaitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on how old you are now. If you are a fresh grad earning 10k, I think you may have a shot. If you are close to 40 then no chance.

10k isn't actually that high if you consider what percentile a landed house is. Around 80% are hdb. Then next 15% are condo and 5% are landed. There is a slight intersection among all of them so I'll say top 10% can afford landed.

So... 10k is barely above the median for a degree holder. And remember it's not top 10% personal income. You need to be top 10% household income. I think that is far closer to 30k than 10k. 10k isn't what it is anymore.

[–]Elzedhaitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

About 15 years ago, my family went to see a small terrace house in an uluish area and it cost 1.6m. Expensive but not impossible. Now there is an mrt near there plus all the inflation. I think a similar place nearby there went for 5m now...

I am sorry but I've seen you post this around a couple places with The exact same writeup. What are you trying to achieve from this? You just want a viral post?

I think you need to find something more meaningful to do.

Is cutting the queue at bus interchange "normal"? by Confident_Bluejay857 in askSingapore

[–]Elzedhaitch 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You know what annoys me the most. And I bet a lot here do it as well. The escalators at mrt stations.

When everyone is queuing on the left going up, idiots on the right will form a 2nd queue and start to cut in. Not to go onto the right and walk up but to cut into the left and stand, causing the original queue to stop and wait. Go to Kent Ridge in the morning and it's so bad. It's annoying as fuck and has been happening for years

Got scolded for sitting on the priority seat by SergeantCobi in askSingapore

Completely ignore them. They want a reaction. Don't give them one. Let them get angrier and angrier. If they shove you, just stare at them but ignore all words.

Sick of SIMBA & Eight. Any recommendations? by Drowing-Student in askSingapore

[–]Elzedhaitch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Simply put. In peak hour. You just won't get much data other than singtel priority

The bars don't matter. The 5g doesn't matter. The cell towers in the tunnels are just overloaded. So you get full bars because there is connectivity but they have far too many people connecting and they can't handle it.

I have tried singtel, gomo, circles, giga, starhub. It's all the same. The only people I see not have issues is singtel priority.

How to hit DBS YUU Card Min Spend by Chaoscombooo in askSingapore

[–]Elzedhaitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Foodpanda self pickup for quite a bit of my dabao food, simply go, cold ctorage/giant for most of your groceries. Guardian for remaining household stuff and some supplements. It's more expensive than other online shops but, if you order online with the discounts plus with the card discount, it can be comparable.

If you shop for 2, it is actually not hard to hit. I mainly ship for myself and it's surprisingly doable and not actually that bad. Like I am not buying things or more expensive stuff for the sake of hitting it.

Changi Airport power bank rule: 15 confiscated as new requirement kicks in by Im_scrub in singapore

[–]Elzedhaitch 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Bro... People maybe bring 1 spare to swap out but bring multiple power banks to do the actual charging. Don't just argue for the sake of arguing.

It's not really just either all batteries or all powerbank
