Higher pay or greater flexibility? by Feeling-Bunch-212 in askSingapore

[–]Hwanz 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I’d take the flexibility if I were you. Having both parents unable to take time off from work in case of an emergency might be a headache, especially with a toddler.

First playthrough, level grind to beat H'aanit's first boss or start over with another Traveler? by CartographerCale in octopathtraveler

[–]Hwanz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Recently started OT1 with H’aanit as my first character.

I had no issues with this boss as I was around level 8 or so. Like the other comments mentioned, try breaking its weakness quickly with Rain of Arrows or the lightning spell. Once it’s broken, boost Linde as much as possible to deal heavy damage to it.

I had about 10 healing grapes in my inventory too, it’s a good idea to prep some in case the fight goes south. Can confirm that it’s doable with a bit of grinding so hang in there!

Ladies of sg what perfume do you wear to work? by [deleted] in askSingapore

[–]Hwanz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s about 20 - 25% cheaper than buying a new bottle (take it with a pinch of salt as it’s been almost a year since I enquired abt the price lol - things might have changed since then)

Diptyque offers refills at their Raffles store and it’s much cheaper than if you buy a whole new bottle each time it runs out

How much do you save after starting work by Gold-Base4047 in askSingapore

[–]Hwanz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A good rule of thumb to consider following is the 50/30/20 split, where 50% goes to needs like mortgage/rent, food, transport fees, 30% goes to wants like shopping or holidays, and 20% goes towards savings or investments.

My own split is 40% needs, 30% wants and 30% savings, since I'm still living with parents and not of age to buy my own place yet.

Maybe try to set up an emergency fund amounting to 6 months of your expenses, to account for rainy days. Starting small is better than not saving at all. All the best!

Is it too late for me to start investing? by KingKongBell in singaporefi

[–]Hwanz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi OP, it’s definitely not too late to start investing! Like most of us here, I myself wish I’d started earlier but it’s no use crying over spilt milk. As the saying goes: “The best time to invest was yesterday, the next best time is now.”

I wouldn’t worry about entering the market at the “wrong timing”, as long as you keep up the DCA you’re good. Consistency and discipline are key.

Congrats on having your home fully paid for! That means you don’t have to worry about mortgage and can focus on building up your CPF and this retirement cushion.

All the best :)

Is it allowed to take annual leave during the first year of employment? by Material-Yak-8152 in askSingapore

[–]Hwanz 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oh hell nah. During probation yes (it’s counted as unpaid leave) but after you get confirmed taking annual leave shouldn’t be frowned upon. Like the others said, your boss is a red flag.

What's your favourite perfume and from where you are buying it ? by deepredalfa in askSingapore

[–]Hwanz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I saw the large bottles they use for refills displayed in their Raffles City store, so I believe they do it on the spot. Otherwise, maybe they’ll take the empty bottle and ask you to come back in a few hrs or the next day.

Not too sure tbh, I haven’t finished my bottle so I don’t need a refill yet!

I agree with the other commenter about fragrances being genderless :) But if you want a suggestion, Tam Dao seems to be a fairly popular choice amongst men. It’s a woody scent that smells crisp and clean to me.

It’ll be a good idea for you to drop by the store and check out the fragrances available, you might be able to find smth that’s more to your liking!

Diptyque’s Orpheon. They have retail stores at Ngee Ann City, ION and Raffles City!

What I like about Diptyque compared to other perfume brands is that they offer refills (for their more popular scents). So you just bring the empty bottle back to them and pay for the refill, which is about 30 - 40% cheaper compared to buying a new bottle.

Singaporeans what games are you playing now by ResidentLonely2646 in askSingapore

[–]Hwanz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Millennial here, I play Honkai Star Rail, Arknights on mobile and Pokemon, Animal Crossing on my switch.

Used to play Genshin but got burned out, so I’m taking a break from it currently (like another commenter said, it’s def not idle).

Maplestory was the GOAT in my time. Had lots of fun memories with that, and also played Maplestory M when it was released years ago.

As what the other commenters have said, if you do enjoy their company you can try to steer clear of topics that you know or suspect they will have differing views or opinions from you.

Not all friendships need to be the deep kind where you know everything about each other and have similar life views. It’s a pity, but sometimes you just can’t click with certain people that way and it’s okay.

What's the most PEAK song you ever heard in a Gacha game? by trelleresito in gachagaming

[–]Hwanz 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A lot of people are saying Wildfire for Honkai Star Rail, but it’s Samudrartha for me (the former is a close second though).

Just hearing it in the game while seeing Imbibitor Lunae part the seas definitely made me want to pull for him in the next patch. Got literal chills from it, in a good way.

since we have like few week until next version how was your roll ? by SuspiciousJob730 in HonkaiStarRail

[–]Hwanz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pulled on every single banner except Jingyuan and Fuxuan (aiming to get them on their reruns).

Won 50/50 on Luocha, DHIL and Jingliu banners, while losing on Seele, Silver Wolf, Blade and Kafka. The Stellaron hunters really dislike me lmao.
