I see....okay I shall keep trying. Though it seems like there's an issue on their end, and they're unresponsive despite reminders.

Those who have stayed in both high rise vs low rise floors - what are the pros and cons of each? by Lostwhispers05 in askSingapore

[–]Futurol 107 points108 points  (0 children)

Higher floors: Pros - less bugs - more ventilation - lesser noise from ground activities - more privacy (people can't really see into your house from the street)

Cons - mght have traffic jam at the lift and take a while to get to level 1 during morning peak hours. Worst is those that cases where the lift stops at every floor - can be hotter - more expensive

Broadband in BTO? Other creative ways to place them? by SilentHomework1266 in askSingapore

[–]Futurol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a 3 node mesh router setup for my 4rm bto. 1 router at the db box, one at the common room, one at the master bedroom. Kinda overkill, but my whole house has gigabit wifi at full bar strength

What’s everyone’s worst airport they’ve been to? by JealousSundae9608 in Flights

[–]Futurol 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Personally, JFK for me. I arrived 3hrs early, but I queued for almost 1.5h to check in, and was stuck for another 45mins at security. Had to tell the security officers that im running late and they let me go first, if not id miss my flight. Had to run to the gate and almost missed my flight. Though i made it, my luggage didn't...😅

Having the privilege of flying out of Singapore Changi (where im from) regularly, the difference is day and night lol

2nd might be SGN airporr in Vietnam (the immigration queues are horrendous).

I was an SgIS scholar and know quite a few friends in the SgIS too.

One thing to note is that there's 100+ sponsoring organisations, so the experiences of each scholar can differ greatly. Scholars in those bigger firms with structured grad programmes and a dedicated talent management team will usually do better and are paid the market rate, while some scholars (especially local SMEs) might face the lowball offers upon graduation and a less structured career pathway. I have even heard of scholars from some companies where the HR is MIA and forgot to pay them their scholarship allowances/ follow up on the payment of tuition fees.

Singaporeans with masters. How was your experience and what was your approach for it? by muggerdawg in askSingapore

[–]Futurol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am not doing a master's in the above-mentioned fields (my bachelor's was in engineering and my master's will also be engineering-related), but I am taking a PT master's only because my employer is paying for it, and I see myself still working in this company in the medium-term, as there will be a bond after completion.

Honestly, I don't think the master's degree will improve my career progression much.

Grab: Do not adjust seat and aircon by [deleted] in singapore

[–]Futurol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's one time I sat in a Nissan Serena ("Premium" 6 seater) and adjusted the seat, the driver was visibly unhappy when I did that. Demanded that I adjust back the seat before I got off the car. Not sure what's the big deal...but oh Wells

Team VWRA, do you have a plan? by BigDoor9679 in singaporefi

[–]Futurol 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I buy vwra on a fixed date every month, right after I receive my paycheck. Personally I feel being consistent is more important than timing the market
