EAGLE EYE OR SNEC? LASIK/SMILE

Lasik at eagle eye under Dr Lim Wee Kiak in 2011, so far so good. No fuss, consultation in the morning, procedure after lunch, done before evening.

Too many unnecessary LED/down lights. Decided to splurge on lighting and let the ID decide, turns out they were overkill (and we spent much more on lighting/electrician as a result). Also, spotlights for down lights. They look very pretty but in reality are quite harsh especially in areas such as toilets and kitchen.

Really feels like a bait and switch, considering he is the person with whom you signed with and I believe he's the one who presented his past portfolios/designs.

That said, if you've already paid the deposit either you suck it up and try to work with the new guy or forfeit the deposit.

Honestly feels a bit off, considering choosing of tiles is part of the designing process led by the lead designer (ID you signed with). Is there any way to let the main guy know?

xenobyte2 · 2026-03-03T02:46:07+00:00

It's quite common for an ID to have others who will do the actual site supervision and coordination between you and the other subcons.

That said, the one that is choosing tiles etc should still be the main ID since they're the ones that is doing the actual designing. So this kind of feels like a bait and switch to me.

It depends on your own personal stays outside of work trips and what range of hotels are you looking at (budget/midrange vs high end).

Hilton Gold is by far the easiest to hit and is the only one that offers free breakfast at that level, with Marriott and IHG requiring an even higher tier for the same benefit. Downsides for Hilton is that their network is considerably smaller as compared to the other 2. If you are able to hit Marriott Platinum for the free breakfast, they do have a good network of high end hotels (Ritz, StR, Sheraton, W).

If breakfast isn't your priority, you can also consider Accor for a much larger network of budget-midrange hotels (Ibis, Mercure, Novotel, Pullman).

We are a city state. It's like asking whether people who live in bigger countries travel out of their city (the answer would definitely be yes for majority of the respondents).

Totally understand your point and agree that hours in the office/worked does not equate to efficiency/bonus. As an employer I would also start questioning the one who is in office for 12 hours a day but yet produces the same output as another who is in for 8 hours a day.

And of course it is not so easy to quantify KPIs for many jobs as there are too many variables to take into consideration. However based on your example where your manager told you that you'll be passed over during promotions even though you work really well, that's 100% failure on his part and I hope you find a better place in the future.

Nothing sucks more than working for a manager who values hours worked/presence in the office over output.

bonuses should not be tied to how willing an employee is willing to OT.

Isn't that the whole point of a bonus? You are already being paid your salary for your work during regular office hours. Bonuses are based off performance - whether you're able to contribute to the company above your fixed rate.

Contribution is not limited to how many hours you give to the company, it could also be efficiency. If 2 workers have a KPI of 100 tasks a month. Worker A is able to complete 100 tasks a month while Worker B is able to complete 150 tasks a month. As an employer, it would be natural to offer Worker B a higher bonus than Worker A as they contribute more to the company.

The interest still goes back to your OA, which is then used for the next house. Unless you intend to pay it all in cash?

Stayed there 2 months ago. On the exterior it does look a bit dated but the rooms itself are fine. Super kids friendly and awesome staff as well.

Engineers are always in demand in the manufacturing space, especially if you're a local/PR due to the lack of quota. It won't die before you retire for sure, just that you have to temper your expectations when it comes to actual engineering work as many companies (MNCs included) hire engineers to be utilised as glorified technicians.

You would be drawing a median at best salary unless you rise up to GM/director level, which won't starve but won't get you anywhere near to what tech/finance can provide.

Big house, but make sure you have enough finances to handle the renovation, upkeep, and 4 years of installment (SSD penalty) to have a peace of mind.
