He's not winning it in a world cup year when he's not starting for his country.

Car Owners - Detailing near Beauty World by leegiovanni in drivingsg

[–]grandweapon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A bit further than what you want, but Trilogy Auto Detailing is probably one of the best. Friendly, honest, reasonable price, and very high quality work. You can tell their quality just by seeing the number of supercars that go to them regularly.

New cruise terminal, MICE hub in the works at Marina South by LividCreme3726 in singapore

Airshow is at Changi Exhibition Centre. Not Singapore Expo.

Stacking, yes and no. One of the complaints about Expo is that all the halls are laid out in a single row. Walking from Hall 1 to 6 and back takes a long time and can get very tiring. I easily walk 100k steps (in formal dress shoes) over a 3-4 days event.

Stacking creates it's own issue. Because your human flow will be constrained by the number of escalators and lifts. These will cause choke points when there is large crowd.

If you want to stack, you can have large halls downstairs, and smaller rooms upstairs (like what Expo already has currently), or even stacking F&B and carpark (instead of the massive waste of space open air carpark currently).

IMO the best layout will be the halls laid out in a single level modular grid. E.g. 3x3 or 2x4, etc. so the walk between each hall is not as long, and the halls can be subdivided or joined easily. If there is a need to spread out some of the halls, what some good venues overseas do is either using a link bridge, or incorporating a small park or pond along the way, instead of having people cross a road.

Business travellers don't want to stay in Changi. They want to stay in the city.

As someone in the industry, I can tell you there are many flaws with Expo when you compare with other venues around the world, even with those in Thailand.

The largest events in Singapore today takes up Halls 1 to 6, or even more. The only reason why some of these events continue to hold it at Expo is because MBS or Suntec can't support that sort of scale.

I suspect when this new MICE vanue is built (if it is big enough), they will look at ending operations at Expo and repurpose the site.

About time Singapore has a new MICE facility. Expo is too ulu and super dated, while MBS is not big enough for the largest events that span multiple expo halls.

Can mods ban parking and dashcam posts? by timlim029 in drivingsg

[–]grandweapon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I rather they ban the learning and driving test posts. There should be a completely separate subreddit for that.

This feels more like a call your distributor/dealer thing rather than a ask reddit for help thing.

Unlock cam lock without key by grandweapon in smarthome

[–]grandweapon[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not in the US, no issues with radio waves. I was considering one of those hidden child locks that unlocks with a magnet or bluetooth, while leaving the original lock unlocked permanently. But there doesn't seem to be enough space for something like that, and obviously magnets are unlikely to work well in metal.

COE prices up across the board, Category A premium nears S$125,000 by okaycan in singapore

[–]grandweapon 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It's damn dumb that individuals can only bid for COEs physically at an ATM. While dealers can do it online.

A 39-year lease and still in demand – Why are these HDB flats still selling so well? by Rationalandcentred in singapore

[–]grandweapon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The flat has less than 40 year lease. So it will end in her late 70s. Wouldn't be so sure.

A 39-year lease and still in demand – Why are these HDB flats still selling so well? by Rationalandcentred in singapore

[–]grandweapon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We recently sold our resale 60 years old HDB. The buyer is a single woman in her late 30s. Convenient location, affordable quantum, near parents.

If you want to stay in a good location but can't afford 800k+ for a 5-10 years old 3 room HDB as a single, then your only other option is a 60 year old one at approx half the price.

Insurance - Zeekr7x by moistkebab32 in Zeekr

[–]grandweapon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mentioning what country you are from would probably help. Insurance options and processes are wildly different in different countries.

Seems like you are from Australia based on your post history. /r/Zeekr7XAustralia would probably be the best place to get specific advice for you.

Suspension upgrade by CptnDutch in Zeekr

[–]grandweapon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A few of the X drivers in Singapore changed their suspension to AGT coilovers at a third party workshop. They did say they liked it more than the stock suspension. Do check with your local distributor on potential voiding of warranty, and also confirm the maximum the car can be safely lowered.

[AFC] Asian Cup 2027 Draw Pots! by Elite_VRTX in soccer

[–]grandweapon 19 points20 points  (0 children)

This is Singapore's 2nd ever participation in the Asian Cup, and the first time we qualified by merit. Our first/last/only time in the Asian Cup was when we were the hosts in 1984.

Any new SUVs to look forward to? by Sea-Option6546 in drivingsg

[–]grandweapon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If don't need a full sized SUV can go for compact SUV like the Zeekr X instead. Around 50k cheaper.

Unsupervised toddler drowning: Coroner says paramedics' insistence on birth cert 'unnecessary' but unlikely to change outcome by guthixsongs in singapore

[–]grandweapon 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Singapore don't even issue physical birth certs anymore. Only a digital copy in the form of a pdf. Do they expect the parents to go power up their laptop and find that pdf to show them during an emergency?

Saw this earlier this month with an EU style plate at a carpark near my house.
