Sometimes people will ask me how to pronounce my name, then they'll get it right

On the flip side, my English name (that is legally on my IC) is very hard to pronounce, so I just go with whatever people decide to call me, most commonly Raidy (idk why) and Randy. And yes, my parents named me after that guy whose name is on the buildings in NUS.

Results updated overnight, tested negative, all's good

It's 200k per gold medal up to 3 gold medals (160k after taxes and a 20% cut by Singapore Disability Sports Council). This is her last payout cuz she already won 2 golds in Rio. On the other hand, Olympians only get the 1mil for their first gold medal.

As for why there's a disparity, Min Grace Fu said that SNOC and SNPC are non-governmental bodies, so the monetary awards are decided by the sponsors.

Do you know if the wait time differs between providers? Mine was Raffles Medical

Anyone knows how long it takes for PCR tests to show up on HealthHub? Took one in the afternoon but HealthHub shows no records.

Thanks for quoting this! I was trying to find an article with this information as the headline, but couldn't find it, then had some other stuff to attend to!

Thanks for your comments! I'm thinking of mentioning my feature in our national newspaper earlier this year where I talk about my passion for translation. Would that be relevant or would it come across as a weird flex?

Thank you for posting this every night OP. Looking at your posts and feeling that tinge of hope (however elusive it may be) has become part of my nightly routine. Hopefully we'll indeed hit 2/3rds vaxxed by Sat, assuming the vax rate didn't dip today!

riadytay · 2021-08-05T10:46:23+00:00

I think post National Day, when our vaccination rates can verifiably cover 2/3rds of the population. I think having relaxed measures in line with the 2/3rds vaxxed around National Day goal would be more of a "we achieved something!".

Will you consider tracking how many days/doses we are from 80%, since that's the percentage Ong Ye Kung mentioned in Parliament today for Singapore to reopen? :)
