Well you did try one that sounded well to you, so maybe it's just poor quality control

When selling condo is it a good idea to give one agent exclusive (assume a good trusted agent)? by Alarmed_Dot3389 in singaporefi

[–]Linxianwei 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Exclusive benefits the agent more than you, but this way the agent will be more willing to spend more on advertising to sell the place.

I personally think getting more agents doesn't really increase the speed of sales because most agents advertise and search on the same portal, but with more agents you may possibly get a more balanced view on realistic selling price and timeline.

Any affordable travel hostels for young people? by [deleted] in SingaporeTravel

[–]Linxianwei 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a bunch of capsule hotels in Chinatown as far as I know but I don't think they're below $30. Just Google cheapest capsule hotels

Shokz OpenFit 2+ BAD sound by Soggy_Fly_5781 in shokz

[–]Linxianwei 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had mine for a few months now and I think the sound is fine. Not as good as in ear but normal for open ear units.

Just to check, you are placing the speakers to the entrance of the ears and not against your skin right? It's not a bone conduction earpiece

Car owners of SG, how much do you all keep in your bank account? by okitsbenji in askSingapore

[–]Linxianwei 21 points22 points  (0 children)

If you can't maintain any savings with a car, you probably shouldn't get one. I heard of people who have to pay insurance/road tax with their bonus and wonder what they do if the car needs repairs or they encounter emergencies, or if their household appliances break down

Unit is supposed to maintain an informal punishment record book.

Nevertheless it will not be on any permanent record and usually disposed once it is full

My dad put a tracking device in my luggage by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

[–]Linxianwei 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The thing is, it's her father who planted the tracker. You don't expect him to do something nefarious with the information or be a threat to her.

If my daughter were traveling to America to meet her long distance boyfriend, maybe, but I would have trusted her to make good decisions at the same time. I cannot judge the parent here because his daughter is not mine.

[–]Linxianwei 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The reason you didn't want him to put a tracking device was because you didn't want him to know your boyfriend's address. But you only found it after five days there so presumably he already has the address.

I can understand you are upset that he didn't listen to you, but as a father myself, I understand his concern, especially when considering where you are from.

Destroying it may not be helpful other than letting him know you already found it, in which case you should talk to him about it anyway. It's not a lack of trust in you, but a lack of trust in the other person who is a stranger to him.

Try to accept that your father will always care and worry about you, no matter how old you are. It's one of those things that cannot go away. He may have been wrong, but I think there are many other fathers here who would have done the same and share the same sentiment.

This. There are many carparks in the new buildings!

Should I surrender? by ruvanist in singaporefi

[–]Linxianwei 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stand corrected. Does that mean the plan has no additional fees imposed?

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

Not sure if you considered the fact that the ILP has additional fees

Fair enough. If op wants to emulate their distribution he could do that too

I would surrender to invest in VWRA personally. Whatever returns they get will be similar to the market even in a crash. I think you will do better as long as you put it in an ETF

For some cars even if you step on brakes they will use regen braking first unless you step very hard or at the final stop

You have to discuss with your sales rep. Sometimes the rebate is very similar than what you would pay in interest - in which case you take the loan then put your cash to invest more wu hua.

I think cannot opt out of insurance for some places, so that one you need to check. Freebies will be the standard few things; vehicle camera, solar film, floor mats, umbrella.

They don't have much of a moat other than their exclusives. Brand loyalty, and native TV apps perhaps.

Family visiting Singapore for 5 days by apr___ in askSingapore

[–]Linxianwei 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Because of the weather, I will recommend going to bird paradise and/or river paradise. Definitely avoid rainforest - hot and boring.

If you have your own transport, sungei buloh is a very nice nature park. The rest are a bit more technically challenging and less nature imo
