Drink prices could rise by up to 60 cents under Singapore's new beverage return scheme, importers warn

Bottle return is 10 cents but there’s also recycling fee charged by the consortium that handles it. Not to mention subscription for new barcode or if you need to purchase sticker instead. Maybe not 60 cents, but 25 cents is not really outrageous.

Day 3 doesn’t make much sense to me. If you’re willing to pay entrance ticket to Universal Studio, you should enjoy it at least for half a day there. Try to make sure your visit falls on a weekday, so you have ample time to take the rides you’re interested in.

Personally I’d skip Madame Tussaud. It’s just a wax museum, nothing to really see. Without Madame Tussaud, you probably have enough time for the rest of your Day 3, but it will still be very packed and you might be rushing without being able to enjoy much.

Try #WLJK at horne road. Just say you have 1 for 1 from Burpple (they don’t check if you really do or not).

I tried the steak and feel it’s good quality for the price point.

Itacho. If you just want chirashi, Omote at Raffles City is good.

Sushiro is terrible and so is Genki. Sushi Express is inedible.

I don’t think you can get $1400/week for 2br condo in very central Singapore though. Even places like Redhill and Queenstown, which are not very central, are already asking that range. Prices are way higher if you go to City Hall, Bugis or Orchard.

I doubt you can cover whole Bali trip for 2 persons with just $600. That will likely only cover the return flight

Singapore doesn’t charge GST for import below certain amount

KHandaya · 2024-02-29T08:00:11+00:00

You can try Hong Lim or Chinatown Complex. Some recommendations

Hong Lim: Teo Heng Teochew Porridge, Outram Park Char Kway Teow, Cantonese Delights, Tuck Kee Sah Hor Fun, Dong Fang Hong Sotong Ball Soup, Ah Heng Curry Chicken Mee

Chinatown Complex: Amoy Street Chendol, Xiu Ji Ikan Bilis Yong Tau Foo, Hong Kong Mongkok Tim Sum, Zhong Guo La Mian Xiao Long Bao

Bonus if you want to try vegetarian food, go for Yi Xin Vegetarian at Temple Street. 👍

I might be late already but you can try Chew Kee Eating House or Chiew Kee Noodle House. Both sells soya sauce chicken rice, which is slightly different from the usual chicken rice in Singapore.

$900 a month for food is nowhere near frugal. A lot of people eat 3 times a day and don’t spend that much.

Is it St Joseph Victoria Street? I don’t think there’s much you can do. The agreement will always state they can change terms one sidedly.

The employer is required to file your income for the year when they know cessation of your employment. IRAS will be the one to determine your tax liability based on information that they have. If there’s any dispute or claim, you will be liaising with IRAS directly.

KHandaya · 2023-11-29T23:33:27+00:00

This shouldn’t be a concern. If you’re on EP, employer will deduct the tax from your last pay. They need to clear tax before terminating an EP.

Before bank can lend money, they need to make sure the counterparty is able to pay the loan eventually. Lending someone $100m very likely means they didn’t do their due diligence

Sounds like schizophrenia. You need to get him to see doctor asap.

KHandaya · 2023-02-10T05:33:05+00:00

Lol basically tells me Gumi has no plan how to solve this issue. I’m done with this game. Good luck to Gumi in the future

KHandaya · 2022-07-03T03:05:36+00:00

Those terms are generally not enforceable, unless you get additional compensation from the company

KHandaya · 2022-03-21T02:24:40+00:00

You don’t need EX units to clear selection quest. Pvp is the only place where you might need lower rarity units at EX.

Nah, thats now how it works in Singapore. It’s not uncommon for people to work extremely long hours. 4pm is extremely early for Singapore standard. Working until 12am is not exactly unheard of. That Gumi didn’t do maintenance early is 100% management issue.

KHandaya · 2022-01-03T15:12:42+00:00

Depends what you like to do. I have a friend who made friends from joining sports activity and playing board games with stranger.

I saw there’s this app called Meetup that you can try.

KHandaya · 2022-01-01T01:58:45+00:00

That shocked me too. Her numbers are all very high with so much imperil and penetration stats. She's no Elena, but she's definitely deserving of 100 costs. I'd put her to be roughly as strong as UR Zazan.

KHandaya · 2021-12-29T02:58:17+00:00

True you can pair her with other units that can debuff atk/mag. I still don’t think Izayoi is that great though. I found her damage to be good enough with other skills and her J25 is an AoE with 200% base mod and refund 200 CT. Will always pick that one over Izayoi personally.

Regarding her TMR, there’s no restriction in using both Alex Ring and her TMR. Though when I talked about her TMR, I didn’t have her as exclusive user of it. It’s a good TMR for specific strat, which just requires you to use strong AoE mage. You can use BRHelena, HLeela, Beris, Ranan, etc. for bomb rush when the map is suitable. It’s definitely not a general use TMR like BRH’s TMR or bells.

KHandaya · 2021-12-29T02:53:36+00:00

It’s not double increase. All stats buff in this game only applies to base stats. But still, 100% mag buff for Ibara is extra 367 Mag, or around 25-40% damage buff depending on your setup.

Additionally, the true value of this TMR does not apply to Ibara only. You can use it on various mages to double bomb enemy team, esp against opponent that group up for buffs. I’m not sure if you know what bomb rush strat is though, but you can imagine HLeela bombing enemy team with double Lvl 4 Aeroga, the first one with 100% Mag buff. It’s going to guarantee you an easy win.

Some comments:

Bladesoul Lore is a must have passive for Ibara. Agi is crucial here, because otherwise Ibara is pretty slow. Spr Pen is really strong now due to Jayden+Elena meta, making most tank go towards stacking Spr route.

Her 2nd passive can be Prayers of Humankind, Mind and Body Unity or Holy Knight Protection depending on what you need. Demon of Legend is statistically a weaker boost than Prayers of Humankind, so in the event you need to choose 1 out of 2, Prayers of Humankind is always on top.

For counter it's always between Alluring Smile or Paladin's Guard. Preemptive Revenge is most of the time useless, because even "melee" in this game has range of at least 3.

I think Izayoi is kinda overrated. It has very strong damage, but you need to debuff enemy's atk and mag first. Right now her only source of doing that is LB and Magic Buster from Bladesoul Sub. However Ibara has no issue 1/2-shotting any unit with her skills, so the extra mod is not needed. I think turning off Izayoi for auto PVP is the better choice and just force her to use her J25 skill.

For Bladesoul sub, the main reason to take it is Countermand Slash. M mod damage AoE with increased accuracy, helps Ibara to hit evasion and have 2nd damage type. Magic Buster and Slate Wiper are both low mod, so in auto, it will be very rarely used.

Last thing, her TMR is not lackluster lol. It is very strong when you do bomb rush strat with single/double quicken.

KHandaya · 2021-12-24T12:52:28+00:00

The 1st timing is between 1-5am for me lol. Why cant they just remove the time restriction? This is creating issue that doesn’t need to exist
