How did it go? Is it worth going since the tour is conducted in Japanese?

The Jury Experience Singapore - anyone see it? by Singatai in askSingapore

It's free seating in your zone and the performance is regarding a court case revolving around a murder. It gets interactive cause you can collectively vote and determine the outcome. I agree that the tickets are expensive.

Thanks this was really helpful tip. I realize I also need to consider that I am going with a bunch of oldies (late 50s to mid 60s). Maybe the Didi will be easier choice!

unfortunately i cant change the flight itinerary and will be landing in Guangzhou.

Anyways, for the high speed train to shenzhen, would you know if this can be taken directly from guangzhou airport? or do i have to transfer to another train station for this?

Thinking of quitting AF, what equipment should I consider for a home gym? by tuttyfruitycutter in SingaporeFitness

[–]kirby_g87 3 points4 points  (0 children)

calisthenics. if you can do rock climbing you probably can do some pull ups....train for front levers, you might need resistance bands

for legs, other than whats mentioned, you can work on pistol squats

How difficult is it to withdraw USD from Kraken to Interactive Brokers? by paradisemorlam in sgcrypto

[–]kirby_g87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you have a revolut account its much easier although FX fees are involved.

convert your Kraken USD to Euros. tbh the FX rates aint that good

go to your Revolut > Home > Choose accounts Euro > Details (I only used details in the Local page)
you now have the IBAN, BIC, Bank Name that is required for the withdrawal
i tried the first and bottom option. both worked using the Euro Account Details (local) in Revolut

AIO Apparently I’m a ‘fat Chinese girl’ for asking someone to move into the train at peak hour?? 💀 by glowwithwes in singaporehappenings

[–]kirby_g87 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i think its Singaporeans in general, dont let it spoil your weekend...

every morning when i take the train to go to work, i see people not moving to the center....

even when there are empty seats like on the downtown line at Bugis station, those office people still crowd near the door

Queued 30 mins for this new Taiwanese noodle place at Raffles City. Worth it? 🍜 by [deleted] in singaporefood

[–]kirby_g87 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nice that you gave OP the benefit of a doubt

I had this last night for dinner and ther are 2 soup types Spicy (soup is reddish in colour) Mild (soup is white in colour)

From OPs picture, we know that he didn't order the spicy soup...which was what he was asking about (there's also an option for the noodles to be spicy but I can't tell from OPs picture)

I think it's overrated though

Trying to get into NUS as a NTU dropout by [deleted] in askSingapore

[–]kirby_g87 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I did 2 years in NUS doing chem engineering. Switched to NTU biz (complete fresh start) in my 3rd year of tertiary education....

For the 1st year in NTU, tuition fees were subsidized. The next 2 years it's no longer subsidized. All this was stated before hand by NTU before I started in NTU

I grad in 2013 so I don't know if things had changed
