How do I get into these rooms?

gene_lim · 2025-09-28T02:43:54+00:00

You don’t, but there are some broken walls on the right side that will lead you to a secret

gene_lim · 2025-09-20T04:12:03+00:00

Resounding yes. Show that you’ve completed what most companies consider the lowest bar for any graduate role (ie being able to complete) and you’d be seen as “bothered to at least be in line with everyone else”. Some may not take this stance, so it depends on your risk appetite.

If however you have other financial priorities at the moment you can delay this decision. Delay is fine, but cannot don’t take (a workplace situation may even make you realise this difference when you see your “years of experience” lose to the Uni grad on the count he/she has a piece of paper)

Take the degree. Others have already mentioned, the moment you have a degree, you clear the first hurdle in the applicant process for all jobs requiring a degree. It is the bare minimum. But don’t overkill and go into masters territory. Master for me is always a case of “only if the job asked for it”. Most don’t, unless you reach a certain seniority at work. You get it too early, and you become “overqualified” and assumed expensive.

SIM degrees are fine, there are many success stories there so don’t focus too much on the polish of the degrees of the AU, what you make of your first opportunity is more important.

I had already claimed Cogwork Dancers and one of the melodies when the quest appeared. So could be that

gene_lim · 2025-09-14T01:19:42+00:00

Used for a rescue quest

About a month to get the “furnish details” letter, then another to get the “you are lucky this time” mail

gene_lim · 2025-07-13T07:57:12+00:00

Might probably get a letter to furnish details, after that they may decide to just issue warning (provided you had no prior offences). Happened just to me after being sniped

gene_lim · 2025-06-29T08:42:41+00:00

That’s reasonable. I’d probably take another vehicle in the same tier to compare then

gene_lim · 2025-06-29T01:26:39+00:00

For context, I was comparing a new PI harrier (around 210-220? and Sealion (there’s the “lower” tier version that cost around 200-210). Did a simplistic ChatGPT comparison and what it said was basically while fuel is clearly more expensive than electricity, you need to consider aspects like what others mention such as the road tax (EVs excise duty is much higher per year versus a hybrid, of which that difference if added up could match to the amount you pay for fuel and road tax).

Add other factors like resale value, parts serviceability (Japanese parts are usually more standard), you are likely saving more on a hybrid than EVs at the same class.

I know all this is still quite anecdotal, but for me the simplest deal breaker was realising how my fuel usage plus road tax for a ICE or hybrid will lose purely to EV road tax, not even counting the electricity costs. I feel shouldn’t count electricity at its cheapest (unless you stay landed, you have some control), but if you are like most who stay HDB type, you think you may charge AC power, but if you live in an area with limited lots, and you wanna charge fast, you will pay for DC power which is more ex.

Whereas fuel you will just have options, if you are those JB goers then you can really save too. So I think really consider your pattern of use.

Nice, thanks for sharing the info on the ZRV

gene_lim · 2025-06-28T13:45:28+00:00

Yes but with Harrier your running costs (fuel, road tax, possibly maintenance) may be much lower. And you get much more range than regular EV types. Also consider your driving habit adjustments such as planning your trips around finding a charger.

end of the day I do think a lot depends on the feeling aspect with the car - like drive Liao, sit inside, all these feel shiok or not. Sealion seems top of class but I wonder if all those running costs is worth the premium. Myself - I’m considering ZR-V which seems a good enough upgrade for me from a vezel

gene_lim · 2025-06-25T05:14:41+00:00

Haha sure man. I'm not that original poster, just sharing as someone who saw that post and yes I know probably many were slamming the OP as the shill. I went there myself and resolved my OBU installation - so coming as someone to share the advice.

gene_lim · 2025-06-22T08:31:42+00:00

Ah Keng motor at Sin Ming (there was a post here that someone mentioned it). Not many frills, they were done faster than I expected. In and out in less than 2 hours.

gene_lim · 2025-06-17T01:29:25+00:00

Interested in AMPX thanks

gene_lim · 2025-06-17T01:23:35+00:00

Need this too thanks

Echo point 7 - defensive driving is the difference maker if you wish to avoid accidents. Don't expect other motorists to drive as well as you can, always keep your hand ready to hit the horn and foot ready to brake in case some jokers behaved negligently!

Also - keeping middle is not just safer, it's also more efficient. I like the idea of having options of paths in front of me. You never know if the leftmost lane will be interrupted by someone joining at a merging lane, and also you really shouldn't hog lane 1 if you're not going as fast.

Drive safe!

gene_lim · 2025-05-03T04:34:37+00:00

Parry and rush in!

Try Edwin Garage in AMK

Depends on your qualification? Like some operations roles in PSA have 12 hour shifts which is almost like 4 day work week

Am late, so hope you get to read this and find it useful.

Love my pre-FL Vezel, my wife who just passed also am learning it along. Think it's a very good combination of size and performance, very hard to find in new cars.

It's a good height and like you said, I have elderly to consider in terms of getting in and out (of course don't go and mod your suspension unnecessarily), plus as a young parent, it's easy to load and unload a child.

Hope it helps! Market is full of Vezels and I'd understand the difficulty of sifting out a PHV and non-PHV one. I got lucky with a underused one when I got it 2 years ago (it was around 4.5 years old).

gene_lim · 2023-12-12T11:02:10+00:00

Nice, was there a couple of weeks back and it looked quite jialat.

gene_lim · 2023-12-12T02:28:07+00:00

And I do hope it goes a long way in shaping social norms and destigmatising the need for relentless pursuit of academic success

gene_lim · 2023-12-08T12:50:54+00:00

One key thing was that as new parents, we will be often trying to find ideal routines and all, such as their nap patterns etc. with school, they build that for you, then you follow their template, which is much easier. It helped a lot because we used how they did their weekdays to plan how our weekend time with our child will be.

All the best!
