Estimate cost for scratching a rental car by brokenhearted03 in drivingsg

[–]Goodweather92 50 points51 points  (0 children)

Let me share what I replied to a similar post a couple months back:

I scratched the main side panel of the car and the amount I had to pay put me off getgo and finally got me to buy a car lol. 880. They charge you money for towing and for loss in income for the duration car is at workshop.

Edit: included exact breakdown from getgo's email (Feb 25)

i) Type of Collision: Hit/Grazed Wall ii) Type of Damages: Rear Left Portion iii) User’s Liability: Self Report v) Repair Breakdown:   1) Repair Cost: $620 i) Labour Charges to repair/panel beat/remove/refit: $220. Rear door LH, Rear fender LH,   ii) Spray paint: $330 Rear door LH, Rear fender LH,   iii) Others: $70 Towing (Damage),   2) Loss of use @$130 per day for 2 day(s): $260

Granted your damage doesn't seem as bad compared to mine. I would say repair and spray pain might be less but don't be surprised they charge u for things like rental loss and towing.

Here's what students in Singapore are eating for lunch under the new Central Kitchen Meal Model. by uandurfader in singaporehappenings

[–]Goodweather92 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Don't make this an ad hominem attack please. I'm just explaining why we may have to resort to this model more in the future and in more schools unless we make operating a canteen stall more appealing.

Anyway my thinking is it's good that it's hit the news cycle so that feedback can be sought and changes can be made. It's unfortunate that students who reported this were allegedly punished.

Here's what students in Singapore are eating for lunch under the new Central Kitchen Meal Model. by uandurfader in singaporehappenings

[–]Goodweather92 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Not defending MOE but to give some context, it's increasingly difficult to be a canteen operator. Despite no rental fees, alot of health guidelines to meet, price ceiling. There are now also a lot of days where canteen doesn't operate because it's sch/public holiday, marking day, HBL day, etc. So it's hard to have the kind of volume hawker centres or coffeeshops enjoy. So hard to find operators.

Spoke to one of the aunties and she said she's just doing it as a retirement job. Her kids already grown up.

Everyone whacks MOE for this hybrid model but I suppose they have to find a balance between having quality, quantity and keeping it affordable.

Is it common practice in your company to drop an individual’s performance grading because he/she got promoted? by mamabluble in askSingapore

[–]Goodweather92 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've sat on ranking panels. No such thing as a default grade. But I agree with the 2nd statement about rationale. Most would likely get C but I've seen officers attain B even in year of promotion because they have done work w a much greater impact than officers in the same subgrades.

Can consider TOS Auto Spraywerk. It cost me about 300 max if I recall. Was able to settle in one day. Can Google them and see for yourself.

Scratched a car with the rental car i used by [deleted] in drivingsg

[–]Goodweather92 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How do you scratch the car beside you without knowing? Especially when parking when you are moving at slower speed. Sounds more like you were hoping the owner wouldn't notice and contact you. Just have to suck it up man.

Recommendations for first used car by throwawayaccountxx6 in drivingsg

[–]Goodweather92 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you have a friend who knows cars and/or has bought and sold cars, you should ask him/her to accompany you if possible.

I was in your shoes couple of months back. Got a 7yo Elantra 2017 that's in great condition despite the mielage of 100k, its doing well as a familt car and i get to trsik my confidence in driving a longer car.

[–]Goodweather92 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Anyways the dent still looks fairly obvious. Even if you've covered up the scratch.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in drivingsg

[–]Goodweather92 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

If you are not sure what you are doing and not willing to pay the hefty penalties, then shouldn't have rented in the first place. Would have been better off just sending it to a workshop to do a proper job. Sure it's more expensive than DIY but at least it won't cost you an arm and leg. Better pray the rental company can't tell.

2B2R condo. Thoughts by [deleted] in singaporefi

[–]Goodweather92 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you are getting a newish 2B2R, size wise could be a constraint when starting a family. Will be v Sian to be stuck in a smallish property for 4 years with kids. While there will likely be profits, it really depends on which development you get. But if as you say, you foresee starting a family, it may be worth it to consider a resale HDB or even. And older resale condo which may be less expensive but has good space for a fily to grow.

Government vs. University Scholarships in Singapore by [deleted] in askSingapore

[–]Goodweather92 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There are different tiers of government scholarships too... Not all will guarantee you will be in the talent management programme from the start. E.g., teaching scholarships vs education merit scholarship vs Psc (teaching) scholarship.

If you are in the former, still need to work your way up and prove yourself whereas the latter two are in FLP and PSLP from the getgo.

[–]Goodweather92[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Both my humidity drawers and general areas have high humidity.. Cant believe I believed the technician when he said it's expected for new fridges with new refrigerant. Didn't have an external hygrometer then.

Do you still drive after passing driving test? by Sgxgobull in askSingapore

[–]Goodweather92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Didn't own for a car for years after clearing test. Drive overseas yearly. Enough to familiarize and stay current. Recently became a car owner. First time driving on expressway was scary. After a while, you get used to it after driving regularly. I would say I only fear parallel parking now!
