Copper potentially will rise !

As i last mentioned on 23 Nov, i listened to several advice that copper will not rise up even in a decade later. However, there are more and more positive news on Copper shortage. But i still feel that thats part of a spectulation. Perhaps i should start accumulation of this precious metal, but in a very small quantity. Will make my move in Dec 2025.

Universal Studio Singapore Roller Coaster Stuck :/

Wonder whats the cause of this, but fortunately no one is injured or die. But to me, i am not a believer of riding roller coaster. Even how safe Singapore is. To add to the problem, heavy rain also comes. Wonder if the rider will demand for any compensation. But who knows, they might just increase the tickets fee to solve the maintenance problem. 🤨

Thank you SPF for the $100 Watch voucher

Had been waiting for this voucher for a long time since i ROD early this year. $100 isn't much and isn't less, but it really depends on whether you are going to get the high end watch or not. But under H2 Hub, the choices wasn't much. But still i am grateful for this. Need to get something that can made me remember the years of sacrifice for all my NS journey. 😁

Free Lunch, Flexiwork, subsidised commutes???

The moment i see such topic, one thing that came to my mind is the younger generations. 😅 In short, i think all these are not necessary. Most important is the salary. I believed the polls are targetted to those in the 2000s+ babies. I really their pattern wanting such benefits. Not that it is not good, but the foreigners can do without these easily. In fact, i had been in office even during the covid days. My job is not "Work from home" material and have to do Saturday and sunday once a month. So i am well prepared without these entitled perks !

iSLURP Apple Juice Machine at Clarke Quay

Came across several apple juice machine, but if there is a best apple juice machine, i will definitely recommend iSLURP Apple Juice Machine at Clarke Quay. So far, this is one of the best apple juice i have tasted from a apple dispensing machine. Not sure how many pieces of apple did they used, but it costs at SGD$3 per cup. Cup is also well designed and no separate straw output. It is all into one package. Hope to see this roll out to more places.

Golden Mile Thien Kee Steamboat Hainanese Restaurant | Chicken Rice

Came to visit Golden Mile Tower for Golden Mile Thien Kee Steamboat Hainanese Restaurant not for the steamboat, but for the famous chicken rice. The texture of the chicken is highly rated. Rice wise, i think is ok. Gave you a big bowl of soup which is good. Also ordered Ice Lemon Tea which is homemade. Generally, i saw people having the traditional steamboat for lunch and the place is still living in the late 1980s. But if i will rate this chicken rice, i will give it 7.5/10. They also provide ginger and chilli sauce.

Tension between China and Japan Part 3

Haha when Japan is getting hit with China rift, Singapore is quick to get the information where Singapore see new booking rise ! I believed this is so because myself had already booked my Japan flight with SIA for 2026 travel ! Well, although i am not attracted to any recent development, but it is already a bonus for me since Japanese yen had gone to the highest between SGD and Japanese Yen of 12,100 yen to 100 SGD. I had been changing for the past 4 years and currently had changed more to keep for my upcoming expenses.

999 Pure Bullion Copper

Saw this at the store, it made me tempted to get but to be honest. It doesn't worth the value. Just like buying a regular toy where once bought, doesn't really worth any value. At 10 troy oz, it cost SGD$100, but it is actually worth at SGD$10 at actual value. So if anyone who buy this, it is like paying SGD$90 of premium. So unless you have extra money to burn, you can buy it lah. Hahaha although i will still not recommend it.

Tension Between Japan and China Part 2

With the current tension, now Japanese yen hits the new high of SGD$1 to 120.3 yen. Its a relatively good rate that i had rarely seen. China is still threatening Japan and wants Japan PM to retract its word towards Taiwan and China. I wonder if Japanese PM will eventually retract the words due to China pressure.

Tension between Japan Vs China Part 1

With the current tension between Japan and China over the japanese's remark about China and Taiwan causes massive outroar with China telling its own citizens to not visit Japan. Now China even wants to ban all imports of Japanese seafood. But Taiwan president still shows support for Japan and had sushi lunch. This really anger China more and i wondered if war is brewing. 😔

Cloudflare Widespread Issue on 18 Nov 2025

Just as i was trying to ballot my Singapore Mint Year of the horse coin as it started today. The website is down. Tried other website like mothership also down. Then saw Straits Times reported that it is a widespread issue. Nowadays such thing quite common where we are reliant on several services. Too much dependency will break something here or there. Be it cloud or on-prem also will encounter problem, just a matter of how big or small the overall scale is.

Lotus's 3 in 1 Chocolate Malt Drink Original

Wanted to get Ovaltine or Horlicks 3 in 1 while groceries shopping at Lotus Supermarket at Bukit Indah. But giving Lotus's 3 in 1 Chocolate Malt Drink a try. Well, after trying it, i think it is okay. It is quite affordable as compared to the more branded one. But i think is drinkable. I would rate it as 5.5/10 if you are on a budget. It is still quite okay.

New Fish McNuggets

Tried the newly released Mcdonald Fish Nuggets. If there is one way to describe this, it is like filet O Fish patty but in nugget size. So taste is around there. I wouldn't say that this is better than the Chicken McNuggets, but each is good at its own. I love the fish nuggets. At the same time, they also provide thai mayo sauce. Taste just ok, but still prefer to go with standard mayo instead. But overall, i think this is good.

Entire Aussie capital city to be quarantined today !

Didnt expect that such pests can threaten Australia's agriculture business. I guess this is unique to Australia and the government is doing their best to quarantine the capital city from this. Hope they can overcome this crisis as it looks very serious.

Peppa Pig World Opening in Shanghai in 2027 !

Just came across that Peppa Pig world is coming to Shanghai in 2027. At least i don't need to make plans to visit Peppa Pig World at UK instead. It is in fact my daughter's favourite childhood cartoon and everytime wants to buy the toys if she sees outside. Maybe can plan one trip to Shanghai in 2027 😄

Quick Lunch at Amoy Street Hawker Center

Came to this crowded hawker center at Amoy Street. They are popular with office crowd during weekdays. I just get a vietnamese iced coffee and one of the fried chicken cutlet rice stall. It costs me less than $10 based on my selection. But it is way too hot to eat there. But the coffee was good and they have many stalls there.

Washing Machine Business prevents $1 coin from misuse...

Wah, is this even allowed? I know their intention is to prevent others from misuse to exchange note to coins using their coin exchange machine meant for the washing machines. However, i dont think it is right to draw X using marker on the legal tender coins. This is not good. Like what the comments said, they can likely adopt token instead of dollar coin. But actually there are many ways to solve this problem so that no need to provide change. Just use the widely known paynow to make payment.

New plant on Pulau Bukom making sustainable aviation fuel from 2028

I mean this is one of the important business which SIA for sure will need to buy fuel from. Other flight in the region can utilise it as well. As a air hub, aviation fuel is extremely important. I'm previously guarding the Singapore Fuel Farm from Exxon Mobil as well, so i know how important it is. Hope it bring people jobs as well and sustainable is the key !

SGD/MYR shows that Malaysia Ringgit is the strongest YTD

Singdollar fell to the lowest against the ringgit as of today. During the past year, many had been done from the Malaysia Government under Prime Minister Anwar and Johor King. Johor Bahru had been seen with the greatest improvement and activities throughout the year and hopefully be better in the coming years. No one knows whether it can be sustainable, but i think results will show in the coming months, especially ringgit will continue to be stronger in the coming months as well.

Isetan exits Singapore

Last Isetan outlet closes at Tampines Mall on 9 Nov 2025 marking the end of 30 years run. Another japanese departmental store exits Singapore market. Not sure if it is a good thing, but at least it affect people's choice of purchase. Not essential, but i think isetan have some good range of japanese products. But hope they can make a comeback after some time.

Unihertz Titan 2 Review Part 2

When i first powered up and doing the first time unboxing, i pasted the provided screen protector and put in the leather case. The screen protector had a line across the screen protector, hence 👎. Worst thing the screen is not responsive by touch. OMG. I had to plug in the USB C docking with mouse to go through the setup. After going through some online troubleshooting, realised there is an update om ghost touch issue, so updated but still cannot touch ! Then being fed up, i removed the screen protector and found out that it is working fine now. 😒

Unihertz Titan 2 Review Part 1

Received my brand new Unihertz Titan 2. Took about 2 to 3 months of preorder from Kickstarter from Hong Kong and receive the newly built device. Based on the specification, this device is well priced at least at the preorder price of SGD$385. At this price, you certainly can't get anything close to this spec.

Causal First Time to Punngol Coast

Well, the place have lots of potential and i think it is not fully occupied in regards to the retail or the F&B industries in the area for the general public. When i was there last Sunday, not much people are there. Perhaps weekdays have more people due to the busy work and school schedule. But i find that the hawker center choices were quite normal. Food prices were kind of expensive when i tried the Korean and the Bee Hoon stall as compared to other heartland. So let's see how they improve moving forward.

Kabaya Tough Gummy

Normally gummy are soft, but this is different. Got it from Don Don Donki for around $3.70 and its grape flavor. A little sweet, but taste good. It gave you different taste after you melt the outer layer and the satisifaction of biting it give you another experience.

Hao Lai Wei Fish Soup at Fortune Center

Tried this fish soup place where the lunch crowd will always be full. Basically they only offer this dish but with different food like rice, bee hoon, KOKA noodle or mian xian type to go with. They also give a free drink at different weekday. So $8 to me for this is just right. The fish is fresh and flavourful. Soup base is of scallop but no scallop inside. Rice is using the japanese type. Overall i will give a rating of 7.5/10.

Really in deep shit now !

This guy also one of the Malaysian Influencer had really became in deep trouble. Even if she is having heart attack, being the last guy and he mentioned to discuss work in the hotel is truly hard to believe. Best venue is always in office and with many people. 1 to 1 talk with another people in a private area is dangerous. If he is innocent, i hope he can clear his name.

Segamat Earthquake again at 7.55PM last night

Oh no. It isn't good when this happen quite frequently for such a short time. Furthermore it is right in the middle of Malaysia in Segamat. I doubt it is something that can be prevented in the name of nature. But i hope the government can think of a solution to help mitigate and bring the people to safety. Sometimes it could be something small now to become a big issue. Let's hope this is the last to happen.

Punggol X JB Industrial

Well even the article's headline didn't mention the location, but its pretty obvious that they are referring to Punggol area and opposite JB's industrial area. But of course the best part is the Million Dollar Seaview. However the problem of the air quality had been there for the past decade. Even my friends who are staying there invested in many air purifiers to help with the situation, but black soot can still be seen. What i can say is, this kind of issue might be hard to resolve.

MOS Burger 2025 at NorthPoint

Came to Mos Burger for a quick tabao lunch. Got the Teriyaki Chicken Burger, the Rabbit yogurt, Chicken Set and 2 Iced Milk Tea. All these for $19++ is kinda crazy. But the Iced Milk Tea is one of the best. Can see that they improved the packaging of the burger for takeaways now. Fortunately, the quality is maintained but i still can't accept the price for this.

ComfortDelGro SG to JB fixed Fare from 25 Sep 2025

Haha you knew that this is seriously very expensive right? Anyone will know that it is crazily priced and privately, people will still use the improper way to travel in and out of Singapore. The only issue is how Sinagpore authorities will catch people abusing the incorrect way to travelling between SG and JB. But then based on the guide above, it is only one way from SG to JB. The only way round seems to be flexible.
