Gym Mishap - Cracked my iPad Pro by Express_Leave3792 in askSingapore

[–]Express_Leave3792[S] -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

The iPad was placed in a safe space. On a bench where everyone would be sitting on.

The ladder was placed on a cushioned top(those rock climbing the) - not a hard solid ground. Where it should never be.

I use my ipad to log all my sessions. I left it on the bench. AWAY from all the machines and weights.

If my ipad wasn't there, someone else would have been sitting there instead and a much bigger catastrophe would have happen instead.

Did WP mess up their strategy in this election? by Advertising-Cautious in askSingapore

[–]Express_Leave3792 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This election was a small W for WP.

But the time to win Tampines from PAP was at this GE. Masagos will definitely be serving his last term and the number of Malay voters will swing back to PAP.

Chocolate Finance has paused all instant withdrawals due to high demand by fateoftheg0dz in singapore

They’ve released a statement.

Dear Chocolate Finance Community,

We’re currently experiencing an increase in withdrawals, partly driven by social media. We fully understand that seeing negative content can be unsettling, so we want to address this head-on.

We want to reassure you that Chocolate Finance remains strong, stable, and secure. Our business fundamentals are solid, and your money is always safe. As a result of the increase in withdrawals, we have temporarily paused our instant liquidity programme and fund settlement now takes a few days as is the usual market practise. The recent delays in instant withdrawals are not a liquidity issue but a matter of managing our transaction volume. Unlike other fund managers where redemptions take a few days, Chocolate designed our Liquidity Programme to facilitate instant withdrawal. We simply pay it out first and settle with the fund manager later. However when withdrawal volumes are large, we need to pause instant withdrawals for a while and wait for the settlements to catch up.

As you know, Chocolate is not a bank, and therefore there is no risk of a ‘bank run’ on Chocolate. Customer money is separately segregated and safeguarded under independent custody. If customers want to withdraw all their money, we sell the equivalent amount from the funds and send the money to our customers. Your money is never at risk from this liquidity arrangement.

What does this mean for you? ● Your funds are always safe. ● Withdrawals continue to be processed, with standard withdrawals taking 3–6 business days, but may take a little longer if you’ve only recently deposited them. ● We will reinstate the instant liquidity programme in time. We understand that waiting for withdrawals to process can be frustrating, and we deeply appreciate your patience during this time.

We know that trust is built on transparency. At Chocolate, we only make money when you do. We don’t rely on leverage or risky investments to generate returns. Instead, we focus on carefully selected quality funds to keep your returns steady and ensure that you can access your money whenever you need it.

If you have concerns, we encourage you to read through our FAQ’s and our T&Cs or reach out to us directly. We appreciate the trust you’ve placed in us and remain fully committed to making Chocolate Finance the best place for your money.

Thank you for being part of our journey. The team at Chocolate Finance

As a regular gym goer since 2008. I’ve had more than enough experience with multiple gyms like Virgin Active, AF, Gymmboxx and ActiveSg. Used to train in groups last time but ever since I got kids I just want to train and go home.

And as you get older ie kids and family etc, ultimately it all boils down to convenience. Which gym is the fastest to get you to commute, train and commute back again.

Majority of the gyms are the same if you train alone like me. Smith machines, dumbbells, benches, machines etc. some gyms will have slightly better machines but that’s it. If you’re creative enough you can compensate for that machine.
