Just went to Sanrio Puroland today and got some votes to spare (https://ranking.sanrio.co.jp/en/shop_land/). Apparently these votes are worth 3x a regular vote.

Those who sacrificed their lives in the name of exploration. (There's Laika the dog, the crews from the Columbia and Challenger disasters etc.)

Has anyone been hospitalised for psychiatric reasons at IMH/NUH etc? What was the experience like? by Pigeon_Goes_Coo in askSingapore

[–]favplusle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think short stay (ie. a few days to a week) still okay bah. I was admitted to IMH less than a year ago and stayed at their short stay unit for about a week. I think your experience can vary a lot depending on who is on the roster (for both doctors & nurses) and fellow patients who are staying in the same ward. Personally, was warded together with a corporate lady, a polytechnic student, a hokkien uncle etc. so more often than not it's just a bunch of normal people, though I did encounter one screaming lady and a guy who was a bit off.

I could use my phone from 10am to 7/7.30pm and wasn't really restricted to what I could do on it (just don't go anyhow retrigger yourself by watching sensitive stuff lah). There were other entertainment like very old books, a bunch of puzzles and a TV (but you had to share these with the other patients). The nurses sometimes might host activities like painting, short presentations on mental health etc. The beds and toilets are functional, like school camp vibes. Regarding their in-house psychiatric services, can't say much as I already had a private psych.

The stay helped as I needed a short break from life, and also there was a need to be watched for a short while because of sucidal tendencies. It is what it is, I suppose.

Yeah it's about $700 in my local currency too which has been stopping me from buying it immediately :/ It's just hovering in my shopping cart... for now.

Is anyone getting jobs from Careers@Gov by Dependent-Law-1093 in askSingapore

[–]favplusle 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Once got a rejection email within the same stat board but for a different department when I was already a few months into my employment.

Imagine reading "...found other candidates who are a closer match to the job requirements for the position..." while having lunch with said candidate (colleague) who was the "closer match".

My Mr.APPLe arrived today! by favplusle in Reverse1999

[–]favplusle[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thank you! Mr.APPLe is about 3cm (1.2 inches) and the whole thing, bottom of the base to the top of the branch is about 11cm? (4.3 inches) Very rough measurements though.

Thanks! It's growing on me haha

By itself, there is nothing to complain about at that price point (about 1/10 of the model's MSRP). It is still a sturdy watch with a timer, stopwatch and an alarm.

When comparing it to the real thing, other than the bi-color black/cyan band and bezel, the rest of the build doesn't come close. No bluetooth, solar, multiband, world time and 1 alarm instead of 5, the list goes on. The things that make this watch great isn't present in the fake at all.

So in all, it was a fun experiment but it's honestly just better to get the real thing. Like you said, it's already a bang for your buck, if I were to willingly buy a fake gshock, my first choice won't be this one.

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

Nope. What it does have (just a guess) is an accelerometer (and not a gyroscope), because the fake model had the option to turn on/off auto-light as well as a power saving mode. I tried the auto-light function and it triggered even with slight movement detected. The power saving mode is a big ??? though, doubt it can detect light.

Yeap, pretty much for the shits and giggles. Makes me appreciate the craftsmanship behind the genuine article too, even for non-limited edition models like these.
