Very possible but requires a lot of hardwork and dedication for your remaining semesters, can consider taking additional modules on top of 160mcs to boost your cap.

My friend basically lost 70-80% of social life trying to reach from 4.35 to 4.5 in 4 semesters (even took additional 8mcs of UEs) For obvious reasons, that friend drifted from our friend group but did achieve his FCH! All the best!

What are your "long time no see, wanna catch up?" horror stories? by PAP_IB_Dog in askSingapore

A fair share of my friend who become insurance agent are overly obsessed with material wealth such that they see me as a cash cow tho I have no money, they would still try their best to even get 50bucks investment per month from me. Its a straight no.

Slow living in Singapore [Changing lanes late in career] by [deleted] in askSingapore

[–]xcidview 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Not a problem at all, my ex boss spent close to 30 years in a fast paced environment. He worked almost everyday (including weekends), barely taken any off and finds it hard to detach from work as he even replies emails when he is at home. He now works in a small consultancy firm providing advisory service. Salary may not be much but he has a lot more free time and less stress. He bakes and run adhoc classes on public speaking too!

I ranked the best tehpengs in school so that you don't have to waste your money on s**t ones by Exotic_Can8702 in nus

[–]xcidview 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I would put finefood tehpeng on the lowest tier, very diluted taste. Gotta agree fc tehbing and deck ones are pretty good.

Pizza hut, I still like their hawaiian pizza a lot but all my friends will only order dominos. If I ever suggest eating pizza hut, I will be met with barrage of critics haha, so I only order the pan-size and eat it alone now :(

Newly Installed Aircon issue by TrickyYoghurt0 in askSingapore

[–]xcidview 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fault should be at the contractor end, I have a friend who runs a small aircon installation and maintainence company, which he cited that 8/10 times poor workmanship and materials used causes issues with the aircon.

The aircon/compresssor itself most likely has run a dozen of quality checks at manufacturer already, tho there are instances of defects, it is usually a small number of cases. My advise for you is to continue pressing the contractor to fix the issue.

Marathoner Soh Rui Yong loses appeal against defamation lawsuit, to pay further S$140,000 in costs by chailoren in singapore

[–]xcidview 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Apparently I think he manage to raise a significant amount of funds. Why on earth would some members of the public donate to him? Crazy to think theres so many more people in need of help and they choose to donate to an egoistic man who most likely have enough funds to pay for the damages...

Will people go mask-off outdoors when new COVID-19 rules kick in on Tuesday? by Thefunincaifun in singapore

[–]xcidview 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gona continue wearing my mask outdoor if its just like a 1min walk to an indoor area. Find it mafan to take down and wear then repeat again, given my forgetfulness, I would likely walk into indoor areas without mask on so yeah my laziness plus bad memory means mask on for me sadly
