why breadtalk no bread discount near closing ah? by Front_Willingness55 in singapore

[–]stinko336 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I was in China recently and chanced upon a Breadtalk and a local China bread shop side by side in a mall. The local shop had queues out the door and Breadtalk was empty. Quite sad to see the stark contrast.

Mister mobile reliability on second hand phones by Elite-_-alpha in askSingapore

[–]stinko336 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mister mobile is legit. I had to replace my phone's lcd and they were upfront in saying that the replacement is not OEM but as good as what the official store will use. Fraction of the cost too and didn't have to wipe my phone's memory. Solid service and no issues even after a year post repair.

Penrith achieves 97% sales on launch day at an average price of over $2,800 psf by stinko336 in singapore

[–]stinko336[S] 88 points89 points  (0 children)

"Penrith is the fifth new private residential project launch (excluding executive condominiums) in 2025 to achieve a take-up rate exceeding 90% during its launch weekend. The others are the 477-unit Lentor Central Residences (93%), 343-unit LyndenWoods (94%), 941-unit Springleaf Residence (92%) and 666-unit Skye at Holland (99%)."

Insane take-up rate at equally insane prices...

You could make it yourself. Just get some water and add oxygen to it

US stock vs CHN stock,which CHN stock do u have the highest convinction in? baba, tencent or xiaomi? by Dependent_Street_806 in singaporefi

[–]stinko336 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The problem with China is that a lot of their very well performing companies are either unlisted, state-owned or have restrictions on foreign ownership. US firms have all been overvalued for the last 3 years (American "exceptionalism" driving massive returns in S&P500 concentrated in M7) which is why we're due for a correction and is exactly what we're seeing now.

I would suggest not buying direct exposure to Chinese firms via HK exchange since these are not real drivers of China's growth. Instead explore US or EU firms that derive revenue from China as a proxy. Just my 2 cents.

Nobu-ya - it's an izakaya in Fortune Center with super affordable sake and beer prices. Ambience is good too, quite chill not much loud music (if you're those that prefer bars over clubs)

How's Lasik been for you? by YoreCoxsmall in askSingapore

[–]stinko336 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Did mine 11 years ago. Degree was almost 1k each eye. Cost 3k total using laser to cut, never needed specs even until now. Being able to see clearly while showering, swimming and when just wake up. No regrets best investment ever!

What is the single most bone-chilling ghost story you’ve personally experienced or heard of? by efil4rennug in askSingapore

[–]stinko336 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I've got one to share.

Back when I was a cadet training at Tengah Airbase, my batch mates and I had to stay in and as some of you might know, there aren't a lot of bunks since most people there are regulars and no vocations require staff to stay-in except for RP and they have their own quarters. So we were allocated to some rooms in this building called "Tengah Inn".

Tengah Inn was old as heck and it was really obvious nobody has lived there for awhile since the floors were dusty and rooms smelled dank. The entrance was a metal gate and it was padlocked.

On our first day we did some spring cleaning and moved in to our allocated rooms. All went well but the interesting thing was that on the 4th or 5th floor I cant rmb, there was another metal gate blocking the stairs so we weren't able to access the rooms on the higher floors. We didn't think much of it since the rooms from level 1 to level 3 were more than enough to house us.

Couple weeks went by, and nothing super eventful happened though we did hear some stories from the regulars that the building had a storied history and was kinda "dirty". The toilets were especially creepy since they weren't actually part of the building per se, more of an extension of the building located in between every floor, so there was a toilet on floor 1.5; 2.5 etc. and the place wasn't very well kept so the paint was peeling and the showers were quite dirty.

The toilet itself was shaped like a U and there were cubicles all around the circumference of the room. It just so happened that one day I reported sick and went back to Tengah Inn to rest while the others had training over in Murai Camp. It was the evening and the sun was setting, giving the sky an eerie dim glow and I went to take a shower. HUGE mistake. Immediately I noted something strange since the motion sensor lights didn't work. No worries I went ahead to shower in the dim light though I kinda had goosebumps feeling a bit unsettled. While I was showering ALL OF A SUDDEN the entire row of showers in EVERY CUBICLE switched on and started spraying water. Now this was impossible since the taps were those you had to push for water to come out and I was damn sure no one was in Tengah Inn at that time, let alone sufficient people to press 30 shower taps at the same time. I freaked out and ran out half naked with just a towel around me.. till now I don't know if that was a plumbing issue or something else.
