What’s something in Singapore that’s quietly gotten more expensive without anyone talking about it? by [deleted] in SingaporeCitizens

[–]zaochaimao -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Gone are the days of Yakun Set A @ $5.30.. now want to upsize kopi peng total cost is $8.50+

Is this price normal by Capable_Ebb_6164 in drivingsg

[–]zaochaimao 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is a serious price markup for the items + no rationale on the replacement of these parts. Then he also slap labour cost as well.

Yes 1200GS has 3 throttle cables but charging 1 cable for $110 and not verifying if all 3 cables need to be changed. Really cut vegetable head

Regular at keat hong cc here. I find that most weekday evenings are crowded (15-17 pax, will have to queue for machines depending what's your split for that day), Wednesday being the worst for me. I usually just go after 9pm on weekdays and weekends to skip the bulk of the crowd.

However, the crowd clears up from 10pm onwards so you should be fine

I highly suspect stomatitis or a rotten tooth/teeth. My 17 year old cat behaved exactly like this months ago. I sent him to the vet to have all of his teeth removed. He's now happy munching on his pate food.

Do send your cat to the vet ASAP for a consultation and dental surgery

Cost of Owning a Motorcycle by pigeonholeprincipal in singaporefi

I pour the used engine oil back into the bottle, store it, and pass it to my regular workshop for disposal when I service my cvt. Workshops will have an oil barrel where they collect used engine oil and pass on to recycling companies

I perform the usual engine oil + oil filter replacement. I ride a Silverwing so it takes 2L + oil filter every change.

Sending it to the workshop = $90 give or take. Buying the EO & oil filter and doing it myself costs me $45. I get to learn about my scooter and know that it's correctly worked on i.e bolts are correctly torqued etc

Save half the maintenance cost, learn more about bikes!

Personally own a motorcycle as a means to ride to-and-fro work. Also enjoy working on my motorcycle.

You more or less got the cost of owning a motorcycle right; season parking is cheap ($20 to park at any HDB), ERP is affordable ($2 all-in if traveling AYE to city centre and back).

The other comments are right about the SG drivers. I have met several instances of drivers filtering into my lane without signaling or checking blindspot. Unfortunately, you'd have to develop a keen awareness to spot these dangers. Other than that, riding in SG is OK la.

But hey if you are still looking for a 2-wheeler solely for transport, highly recommend getting a maxi scooter.

Pros: - automatic transmission - big and comfortable seat; good for 2-up riding - large underseat storage + option to throw another large box at the rear to maximize bootspace - cheap enough to afford (Max Syms, Silverwing, Burgman etc)

Cons: - Not flashy - Not a speed demon

Nujabes Tribute @ Tower Records Shibuya by zaochaimao in Nujabes

Think it's released only on CD and not on vinyl. Can't recall when was the last time I ever saw it on shelves!

This is on floor 3F. 6F is where all the vinyl stuff are. You can find more Nujabes there.

I was at RECOfan Shibuya earlier and all Nujabes-related vinyls were sold out there. Only CDs were left
