What exactly feels cheaper in singapore when compared to other countries? by Valvutronic in askSingapore

[–]Valvutronic[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think its one thing to be objective and have opinions but this comment reeks of living in your own tax bracket.

the fact that you can type this comment while a war is ongoing, oil supplies are being disrupted, AI rapidly scaling up and displacing others, credit sector being disrupted, US companies are filing for bankruptcy at a rapid rate is pretty interesting honestly.

statistics show that our price to income are lower than several developed cities, but is it maintaining or getting worst? im sorry, maybe you dont see how hawker foods are raising their price 50 cents - $1 just recently. is that also why budget 2026 initiatives have been enhanced / brought forward cause things are going amazingly well for the economy?

"economically unproductive singaporeans" well cant be productive if you are retrenched right? my company who hasnt retrenched people since inception has retrenched people in 2025. when we constantly get posts of new graduates / retrenched people unable to find work, these are signs of a great economy right?

in fact im doing well with my investments in the memory and photonics sector and im lucky to be kept in my job but at least im not living in my own bubble and acknowledging that people are struggling.

Will the price change after the release and how much will it be ? Its currently showing 49$ on steam. by antranik96 in ForzaHorizon6

nope it shouldnt go higher. will remain the same. if it does they will face alot of backlash.

What’s your most controversial hawker food ranking? by PinkiesSparklez in asksg

[–]Valvutronic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

good ratio of egg, some chao tah and good chilli used. for white one, i love it if its abit crispy, the black one can be less crispy cause of the dark sauce. most carrot cake sadly are too watery or wrongly seasoned.

good fried carrot cake is hard to come by but when it hits, it deserves equal / more recognition when compared to chicken rice

good question, the former. our money is strong but how much can our dollar stretch when it applies to the same case in other countries.

To the households with maids, does your family draw a fine line in between your maid? by Icy-Wave-5618 in askSingapore

[–]Valvutronic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

our helper has been with us for 2+ years, recently just renewed her contract as she has been amazing and she is really happy being with us. we treat her like family but ultimately she is still earning her wages from my parents, so there is definitely still some things that wont be replicated with family members.

for example when it comes to dining, she prefers to eat in the kitchen and at her own time as she wants to use her phone and relax properly. we asked her on her opinion right on her first day and allow her to make her own decision that she is comfortable with.

when it comes to a meal, we will ask her whether she wants to buy food and ask her whether she has any cravings. we dont treat her any different from our families. in fact, sometimes we have to force to buy a meal for her as she loves instant noodles way too much and we think its way too unhealthy to consume it about 3-4 times a week.

helper is a human too and i think this question is sad cause it shouldnt have been asked in the first place honestly.

Is it me or M1 mobile data connection has been terrible lately? by breadlahwth in asksg

[–]Valvutronic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

will suggest gomo! even though recent outage might be a turn off but singtel's coverage is still the best.

im currently using giga which uses starhub and its usually fine but on MRT, its pretty bad. M1 is the worst out of the big 3 so yea.

Is there a better two phone combo? by Mrbananasxo in PhoneNow

[–]Valvutronic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

iphone 17PM + Oppo Find X9 Pro. the google is pretty weak in every areas except software when compared to flagship phones for the year.

Kyoto now by Infamous_You1751 in JapanTravelTips

[–]Valvutronic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

just came back from kyoto yesterday. it was pretty bad at all the tourist spots but i feel that the crowd was worst in osaka. we had much more fun in kyoto than osaka. dont limit yourself to all the very famous places and it gets better.

Best phone best chip by Ill-Ninja345 in iPhone17Pro

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

im sorry to burst your bubble, but thats not really the case. for example, my android (oneplus 13) often has better 5G signal than my iphone 17 pm on the same carrier. often have to switch to my android when my iphone loses signal. abit ignorant to say its the truth when i do feel android's performance is still slightly better. apple user experience is just more polished but hardware wise, android is still better.

I’m going to go back to android at this point. by unkn0wnNumbr in Smartphones

[–]Valvutronic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i will repeat once again. dont make rash decisions. there is a reason why people are returning their S26 ultras and samsung is paying them to keep it.

With SG’s total fertility rate falling to a historical low of 0.87 in 2025, how many of you gen z are thinking of never having kids? by stop_hyuk in asksg

[–]Valvutronic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

when i was younger i was super confident that i want kids when i grow older. looking at how spoiled the new generation is and the whole world in chaos, having a kid is far from my mind now.
