In your opinion should we be more comfortable on telling or confront someone to stop playing their music/videos on mrt and buses?
This is honestly one of my biggest pet peeves in life. People who play music and watch videos loudly on MRTs and buses without headphones are especially frustrating, and the videos they watch are usually those with laughing sound effects on TikTok. I recently told a boomer to lower his volume while watching TikTok videos. Surprisingly, he lowered it and apologised. I think we should all just tell people in a polite way not to do it. Do you also think we should speak up and tell people directly?
How many renovation quotes is enough before deciding?
We’re planning to renovate our resale flat later this year and have started reaching out to interior design firms. So far we’ve gotten two quotes, one at $45k, another at $62k for similar scope.
The difference is huge, but getting more quotes means spending weekends driving to different showrooms, sitting through long presentations, and waiting for proposals.
For those who’ve done this before:
- Is 3–4 quotes enough?
- Any way to see multiple firms’ ideas and pricing without taking a month of Saturdays?
We’re first-timers and don’t want to make a $50k mistake just because we got tired of shopping around.
Ebike Recommendation
i dont know if this is the right place to post this, but im looking for opinions from fellow riders. I live in Punggol area and i use the bicyle connecters alot to ride my bicyle with my son on the back. we love to go to playgrounds on bicycle using the park connector. i already have a Ebike that i use to go to work using the park connector and road. i sometimes use it to go to places with my wife as a pillion rider.
i realised i cant have a child seat mounted onto my Ebike as i cant have a kid under 16 on Ebike. so i thought of buying a Escooter which can carry my 4 year old son. Im a tall person and i do find most of the escooters short.
i managed to find 2 escooters that are actually nice but confused to choose which. They are the MOBOT OLLI Drive S1 and the MOBOT HALO Drive S2. My wife wants to be the pillion and she thinks the Olli S1 is a better choice. i prefer the Halo S2 but she feels like she cant sit on it , and she feels like it looks dangerous to keep my kid on it.
Does any of you guys own any of these 2 Ebikes? Which one is a better option ? And pls dont recommend me illegal ones, i dont wanna end up paying fines. Thanks in advance.
