Domino Pizza Review 2025

Ordered the regular 1 for 1 from grabfood during the rainy day and it took 45mins from cooking to delivery to my home. Not bad actually, but not sure why i still receive promo code for 1 free regular pizza for late delivery. Ordered one thin crust and one stuff crust and both is hawaiian pizza. To me is still not bad. I personally love stuff crust pizza. But not sure why this time, the quality seem to lose to Pizza Hut's standard.

Job cut of 4000 temp staffs in DBS

Haha so what does it tell? There are many perspective to this. Because of AI, companies don't need temp staffs. Temp Staffs can no longer gain any minor experiences. But jobs require to have experience. On the good side, companies can now save cost and hired lesser staffs as it can deploy many instances of AI to help with the businesses. So how do you really see this?

North Korean Hackers stole most of the cryptocurrency

Well, its nothing surprising. This time they stole US$1.5 billion in crypto which is the largest of all time. Now Banks who isn't go into crypto is laughing the most and will be proving their case. Imagine your crypto suddenly gone, like how FTS screwed everyone previously is going to be a sad moment. Of course if the price is tumbling, some people might take advantage of the fall, but some might need to suck it up by holding it long term again. Fortunately, i sold it all when the price is up and grab all my profits. I personally still considered it as a dangerous grade of investment.

Oppo Find N5 Launch !!

Wow, i got to say probably this will be my number 1 foldable device in 2025. Unfortunately, despite the $300 discount now, it is still a very expensive device. Judging from its Oppo Find N3, the value is quite solid. As tested from the demo set in store, i really love the thinness and build. With the above Prestige Service Program, it shows that Oppo really provide very good service and assurance to its device so that we can have a piece of mind. For now, i'm holding on to Z Fold 5, S24 Ultra and S23 Ultra, hence doesn't really justified my purchase for this. But maybe i might get this if the value goes down or during 2026. For now, i can guranteed that it is a good purchase for anyone who wants to go into Fold device.

Redmagic Golden Saga Edition

Wow Redmagic had did it again ! This time, this is like the golden standard of luxury gaming phone ! Why Luxury? It contains real pure gold and silver within the phone to provide ultimate cooling solutions. So it is really using these precious metals to provide usability instead of providing the looks ! Best of all, the specs were impressive and its still priced lower than the latest model's iPhone 16 Pro MAX ! Containing the latest Snapdragon 8 Elite, very large battery capacity, 1TB storage, best refresh rate, etc.

Jumbo Seafood @ ION Part 2 | 2025

Came here again for the second visit at Jumbo ION. Utilized the $100 voucher again and get the atas ION Mall points + KrisFlyer points again. Felt that we really can't eat much nowadays, hence tried to order soup and simple dishes this time round. The soon hock is specially requested as they did not have the deep fried option with Soy Sauce edition. Its all right, but didn't have the best result as the steamed version. But still enjoying the omega rich fish roe very much. Despite ordering this quantity, we still felt very full with two pax, but still enjoy our time there.

The Manhattan Fish Market is done in Singapore

Oh no, The Manhattan Fish Market close its last outlet in NorthPoint and exited Singapore market. Seem that it is not only them, over these few months, many businesses had been closing their last outlet in Singapore. It seems that the rental costs might be the main culprit. But it can be people isn't spending much also as times were bad. But certainly not a good sign.

My final Part Time Studies for Career Change

This comes at the right time especially for me. As long i had a Full Time Job and enrolled into a Part Time Study, i am able to get $300 per month as a monthly allowance. On top of my new $4000 SkillFuture credits, i am able to learn some better skills to stay relevant for my next phase of old age career. A few of career i had in mind, but still got a few good months to decide the important skill to last long.

Facts on Unemployement

Its a real fact that many got hit with global unemployment. Those who are employed have no choice but to stay with low paying jobs. Many also got laid off, but to valid leave taking, but apparently companies still don't like people who takes MC, hospitalization leave, child care leave or even maternity leave. Just that some people don't want to admit to this and kept promoting and encouraging people to take more child care leave and give birth more. Unfortunately, the real facts often is not said out, but many citizens felt the hit for a very long time. No choice, and have to survive on.

KFC Chicken Skin Review

I ordered the new Chicken Skin from KFC. I am surprised for the quantity in the box on just how much chicken skin is in it. Unfortunately, i couldn't finish all because it was too salty. Not sure if it is because of a certain branch, but i think the recipe should be consistent. But if taken a few pieces per person, should be good enough as it is way too salty to be frank.

Jeep EW112 Review

After using it for the past weeks, i got to say that it is light and solid sounds. Didn't really try via calls, but both mobile gaming, watching youtube videos and music is very solid ! For $19.90 for two boxes of this Jeep EW112 wireless earbuds, it is dirt cheap and outperform many other budget earbuds. It really satisify my daily commuting in noisy train. Charging it is also easy as i just have to plug in my laptop or PC as i am always working in office or home so draining the battery empty is often impossible. Really deserve getting this.

Malaysia selected Bus Tram [ART]

Sigh, at least Light Rail Transit [LRT] will be a better option in terms of carrying large volume of passengers. This should be the aim, not compromising usability over cost. As long if the service is well used and well maintained, i believe it will bring further benefit and profit to the system. Anyways, we have no say after all. Got to resign to fate what the Malaysia Government had decided. But regardless of ART or LRT, i will be using it. 😊

Food Junction at Tampines Century Square

Was at Century Square to do some important errand. So we had our dinner at the food court in Tampines Century Square. The price is extremely 🙄, really hard to pay nowadays. I ordered Salmon Set at $14.90, but the fish is extremely thin. Drinks cost me $7 bucks easily. My wife ordered Zhao Kuay Tiao and cost $7, but doesn't taste good also. In all, we spent a total of $$28.90 in a food court and i think i would had better top up abit to eat in a restaurant. Think better make a better choice next time. Food court isn't affordable unlike the good old days.

Crystal Jade at Takashimiya

Even with the chinese new year surcharge, Crystal Jade is still affordable at $260+ for 6+1 pax. Food is not bad even during the lunar new year. This is the kind of price that i can accept compared to the lower portion yet expensive at $400+ at Wah Lok Restaurant. Crystal Jade have membership but didn't sign up, so points were wasted. But i don't think i will come here often. 

Shingles Vaccine

Wah liao nowadays so many people talking about Shingles.. I felt that we are like living in the disease world and the world is becoming more sick. So many vaccines to take in order to protect ourselves, to make matter worst, some might even unable to tahan the vaccine and pass on. Secondly, nowadays vaccine are very costly and richer people or old people have better access. What breaks my heart is the middle income group which is really the worst hit. Can either breakthrough or can only suffer halfway. Sigh. Anyway, it seems that people who had chicken pox have higher risk of getting shingles... The thing is i had chicken pox when i'm a kid. 😑

Dian Xiao Er 店小二 during CNY

Yeah as usual, eating in restaurant during CNY is expensive and they usually extend to Day 15 of the Lunar New Year. So there isn't much discount or promotions during this period. However, we are looking for quick dinner and there isn't much people at this time hence will just settled for our favourite Roasted Duck and Roasted Iberico Char Siew. Fortunately, the standard is still at top notch and enjoyed the deep taste of both their duck and char siew. Definitely one of the best place to recommend !

Monster Hunter Wild Open Beta Test 2 Personal Review

End of the day of testing on PC Hardware on this Beta test, it really doesn't matter much as they did not put in the improvement from the last pre-launch beta Test 1 updates. Updates will be applied on the launch game version happening at the end of this month. Hence it doesn't make sense of the gameplay, but rather for me to familiarise with my hammer equipments and game mechanics. Can't say much on the graphics as i don't think there is issue with my graphic card, just that the resolution of the game is pretty terrible than expected. I certainly will wait out and let other players go through the initial flow first.

Monster Hunter Wild Open Beta Test 2

Tested the Monster Hunter Wild Open Beta Test 2, but still cannot play properly on Steam Deck. Still not seeing any shit on the maps. Only can see Main Screen and caption and arrows in the screen. FPS isn't keeping up either. Unfortunately, Monster Hunter Wild is not available on my Playstation 4 PRO. Its only available on PS5. 😅 At least, it works on my Desktop PC with RTX2060, but yet to try on my gaming laptop with RTX3060. Gaming isn't cheap, at SGD$99 for Monster Hunter Wild is totally crazy in a sense. Will definitely wait patiently for further discount. But something i will do in 2025 is to upgrade my PS4 PRO to PS5 PRO or queue for Nintendo Switch 2 launch day ! 

Uncle Roger Fuiyoh is opening at Mid Valley !

Estimation shows that he might be opening Uncle Roger's Fuiyoh! Restaurant at JB Mid Valley Southkey around March 2025. Many mixed reviews from KL side that the fried rice is isn't on par. But mostly go just for the first time experience. Not really going for the food, hence people will need to lower their expectations.

Orchid Country Club

In fact, there are so-called hotels, grand ballroom and several restaurants there. I took the free shuttle bus from Yishun MRT to Orchid Country Club and return back to Yishun MRT via the same shuttle bus. There is also a NTUC to shop for groceries. Its indeed bigger than i thought and it is a nice place to relax. However, it is confirmed that Orchid Country Club lease will expire after 2030 and there were be no further extension, hence all these things will end and its going to be part of a history. 

Budget 2025 Singapore on 18 Feb 2025

As above, our PM will be delivering the budget 2025 speech this coming 18 Feb 2025 at 3.30PM. Everyone knows that this is not going to be an easy budget considering that many important decisions is riding on this. Firstly, elections are coming, special treats will be here. But US had been stirring many world issues that could impact Singapore's Economy as well. So i guess the government might balance some finances in the last moment. However as a Singaporean, i hope all policies will benefit fellow Singaporeans, especially in the low income and low "mid-income" group.

Happy Birthday to my Wife !

Happy Birthday to my Wife ! This year, i had gotten the Strawberry Fresh Cream Cake from Paris Baguette NorthPoint. I booked 3 days earlier to collect it. I got to say that the cream is comparable with Chateraise quality or maybe better. Cake is enough for at least 6 paxs at SGD$60. Free candles, Happy Birthday sign and even two matchsticks ! So i guess its good to bring it and celebrate almost everywhere. Both the blueberry and strawberry are fresh and delicious. 

CNY Wee Nam Kee Chicken Rice

Had been eating Wee Nam Kee Chicken rice for so many years. Unfortunately, the one closest to where i stayed at NorthPoint had been closed for good. The only one i ate is at United Square. But while visiting relative at Jurong Point, Wee Nam Kee is operating there and even during CNY, so went to have my lunch/dinner there. But of course, they are charging extra as usual for CNY period. Fortunately, it turns out well and delicious ! Standard maintained !

Wah Lok Cantonese Restaurant

We are back again at Wah Lok Cantonese Restaurant after two years for Chinese New Year. During this time, its like paying double, but no choice. This is the golden time to come. Overall damage is $400 for 6 adults + 1 baby. I would say that service and environment is indeed good. Food wise, the quality is just ok for its price, but quantity is at its lowest price point. Anyways, still enjoy the moment.

River Hong Bao CNY 2025

Here again for 2025 River Hong Bao 2025. This year, the crowd is extremely a lot ! But we went down in the evening, just nice for the lighting show and various decorations at Garden By The Bay. Mcdonald was largely packed, but still managed to grab a seat for our dinner. Overall it is packed with activities for everyone, but there was a light drizzling so weather is humid and hot. But thats CNY at River Hong Bao 😬

Fluoride in tap water causes Low IQ?!

Well, i got to agree that tap water is relatively safe as compared to many other countries. I know our government will do their best not to harm our public safety. However, i find some comments quite interesting too. If the sole purpose is to prevent tooth decay, our toothpaste are doing that job. Circulating the extra fluoride into our body is isn't good at all. Nevertheless, it is also our own responsiblity to do our own diligence. I got an extra filter dispenser to filter the water further for my children to drink water. So its extra safe. I think the public in Singapore don't need to overreact on this at the moment.

Microsoft in talks of acquiring TikTok

Well, not that i am against Elon Musk to acquire TikTok. As both an investor of both Microsoft and Tesla, in fairness, my personal opinion is to let Microsoft acquire TikTok rather than Elon Musk since Elon Musk already acquire Twitter and renamed as X. I would preferred TikTok to be as its own, but in order not for US to ban TikTok and continue operating in US, we had no choice but to let one of them to acquire it. Microsoft would be a better choice as they can now put some resources and integrate maybe in Windows 12 or within their gaming platform, XBox. So yeah, i wish Microsoft will get hold of TikTok !

Super Robot Wars T [Playstation 4]

Managed to unwrap my PS4 Super Robot Wars T purchased since 6 months ago at $20 from a Carousell seller. Its a habit that i purchased a game when it is at record low price, where most of my games are still wrapped up. Didn't had the time to play. Managed to play this title and i got to say that it is extremely fun since i already had experience playing SRW titles. Immediately spring into normal mode and managed to go through 10 episodes within 3 hours. But the medicination is making me tired. But at least i can say that this is a good game and my current PS4 Pro which lasts more than half a decade is still functioning well.
