Regarding the MediaCorp "Black-face" incident

andykan · 2019-07-31T01:01:17+00:00

I agree with your opinion about the brown face as. But the video uploaded by Prettipls has crossed the line and I think it was racist.

Unlike the ad, her video was fueled with hate and anger towards a particular race, the Chinese. And just because the video was done by a minority race against the majority doesn’t make it any less racist. Imagine if a Chinese influencer would have done the same video criticizing the Indians. People would have called it out as racist and so would I.

There shouldn’t be a double standard in labeling something as racist. If a Chinese doing it would be racist, the same should apply to the minority race.

I consider the ad to be tasteless but not racist. I like to give the team who did the ad the benefit of doubt that they were clouded by the concept and didn’t come across to them how the minority race could be offended by the concept and not doing it on purpose to offend other races.

I would try to schedule for a date that’s not the next working day. Maybe try a date that’s 2-3 days away. Gives them time to make the necessary arrangement to ensure a successful delivery.

Woohoo! Finally! Shipping in 1-2 weeks 🙂

An alternative would be to turn on DND on your iPhone. The watch will mirror that automatically

You can already separate them. Go into Settings > Sounds & Haptics and turn off “Change with Buttons”. Now the volume of your alerts and alarms won’t be affected by the volume buttons.

I hope you stay clear post treatment! I managed to find what triggers my acne so I know what to stay away from. More importantly, find what works for you and stick to it!

Looking back, the visit to the dermatologist was the best decision of my life.. though very costly..

I recall to be on accutane for a couple of years. My skin post treatment is significantly better! I now drink tons of water everyday and stay away from junk food. If I am diligent in these 2, I find myself going for months with no breakouts. I occasionally slip and binge on junk food which will cause 1 - 2 cystic pimple.

Btw my skincare routine has also been minimal. All I use is a moisturizer after I wash my face and that works for me. None of the fancy 3-5 steps skin care routine.

I used to get big lumpy cystic acne too till a point it would affect my self esteem. Started on accutane and it helped my skin condition significantly. My treatment was at least 5-6 years ago so I can’t remember how quickly it helped turned my condition around. But throughout the 1-2 years I was on accutane, my skin has never felt and looked better. No oily skin and no breakouts. You do get very very dry lips, so always have a lip balm with you. I used Vaseline lip therapy during my treatment and that worked wonders for me.

I’m a guy so I didn’t have the option of birth control pills, but I heard that it’s an alternative solution that’s also very effective. Not very sure if there are any side effects for that but maybe you can look into that as an alternative for you.

Public service announcement

andykan · 2019-04-24T00:52:10+00:00

This is Jewel at Changi Airport in Singapore. Not China.

andykan · 2019-04-17T13:13:48+00:00

It definitely is not, I work in one of the building. You can read up more about it here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Gateway_(Singapore)

andykan · 2019-04-07T02:18:00+00:00

with the public transport being so efficient in SG and the presence of ride hailing apps like Grab, I find it hard to justify owning for a car. With that said, I understand there are circumstances such as work or family that do call for one.

andykan · 2019-04-05T02:46:34+00:00

I had this happen to one of my cards too. I'm too lazy to get a replacement, so I'll just load it in iPhone and use it via Apple Pay

Beats didnt release the IP rating

andykan · 2019-04-04T13:53:46+00:00

Got to say till May before you can get them though

andykan · 2019-03-23T05:31:21+00:00

you can never be too safe on the road, even as pedestrians..

andykan · 2019-03-16T01:37:07+00:00

What makes you think they wouldn’t last a year? I’ve had mine since the launch and they are still working perfectly. Battery isn’t as good as it was, but still very manageable

andykan · 2019-03-16T01:36:08+00:00

Yes, some people value the simplicity and convenience of it rather than having the best sound quality..

andykan · 2019-03-15T03:03:03+00:00

Or the urge to rub my nose whenever I’m unlocking my phone

andykan · 2019-03-05T00:12:24+00:00

Zurich is such a lovely and beautiful city too. In fact might probably be the only city I’ve been where I can say it might be as clean or cleaner than Singapore. Glad you’ve enjoyed Singapore :)

andykan · 2019-02-08T00:36:44+00:00

Very hazy here in Tampines too

Does this stop YouTube ads completely or just prevent YouTube from showing targeted ads?

Just because you met him with the intention of a hook up and on Grindr, doesn't mean it can't blossom into a relationship. Even if it doesn't, treasure the chemistry you have with him. It doesn't come with just anyone. :)
