    @Kopites Good question. My kids de Simba - Last sunday we go in JB. My boys de Simba handphoone on Tethering. My Mrs de HP join. CMI haha. But if dun Tether still ok. Can surf and send Msg. Well for $10 - can use Im ok. So long can use it for Google Map navigation. WA . Make WA calls.

    I just went PLQ Mall de Simba shop to signup - $12 plan. Port in my S.H number. So now wait for signal gone then put in Simba sim card. Shld be tonight! Fingers crossed!!!

    Yes Simba is quite Ok, after I ported over after 20 years of M1. Singapore recep is slightly better than M1, most of the time 5G. Then in msia a bit slower than m1 data passport, but if just for google maps and WA is ok and 1GB is more than enough. $10 really worth it

    Ohhh thanks for the update....yeah, we have been to most of the places, London (this was my secondment), Paris, Italy as well ...

    i started to plan and was reading up about the safety side of Spain and it seems there are pockets of robberies here and there and advise not to be too flashy (anyway, all Countries have certain areas that are high risk) and be on high alert...

    So it's pretty much safe then....this will be our 1st time to Spain...

    Actually wanted to cover Portugal as well...but for 2 weeks, we thot it would be better spent in Spain...so still planning stage..any suggestions?

    Yes in france and italy a lot of incessant touts and we were pickpocketed/robbed by a bunch of blacks/gypsies( try to avoid them). In Barcelona i had none of that, so really very pleased though still better be careful with your belongings. I carry less cash and used Youtrip and only top up when needed to reduce the risk.

    Actually my itinerary is very chill cos we didn't want to be very rushing. so for 10 days we were only in Catalunya. 

    Rented a car from Europcar, they gave us a brand new C5 aircross so lucky us. 

    basically followed this itinerary https://thetravelintern.com/barcelona-itinerary-catalonia-spain-road-trip/ 

    The weather is also great for us even in dec, ard 10-20 degrees most of the time

    My favourite place is Girona. Very charming little town.

    Buy her Canadian Goose Pakka and she will not have any cold problem

    😂

    My wife also cannot stand cold.  She took my DAK jacket to London in mid-January.

    It is warm enough for her.

    She very troublesome dun like to wear those thick jackets although can't take cold that well. ai sui mai mia. 

    Last Dec we went Barcelona. I think that is the ideal weather for her 10-20deg.

    I never like red eye flight even it save time on traveling on the day.

    My trip this coming late June to Hokkaido book in last Oct all take the day flight is cheaper at $810 per person. Also on ANA and transit in Tokyo.

    Wow that's a very good price.. At first we intended to go end of year, but my wife can't stand the cold, so just decide to go in June.

    Most of the available timing for us either a longer transit (more than 1.5 hours) or land at night, which we try to avoid. Anyway the kids and us quite well trained to sleep on flight lol 

    Now is to see what car to book or shd we even rent a car at all

    I used to do cable pulls for external rotation for shoulder health. But then my shoulder starting giving problems even while I was doing it. So I stopped doing. 

    My opinion is that side lying dumbell external rotation is more useful if u just want to work on that part. 

    Cos it's pretty incredible how much your shoulder and back can cheat in compensating movements. 

    Oh I'm opposite of u. I can feel more activation/isolation using cables as the tension is linear and can be felt throughout. Another good cable movement is face pulls I find work very well for me. All these are done with light weights

    I am feeling so down.

    I have SLAP tear again, this time in my other shoulder (left). Going surgery next week. It will be another year lost again.

    In 2018, I had a fall (trauma) and hurt my right shoulder. Type 2 SLAP tear and rotator cuff damage. Surgery. 2 months to heal then months of physio. I spent hours everyday for months to gain back my right shoulder.

    In 2023, i started feeling something in my left shoulder. For almost a year. Then in the last few months pain accelerated. This time is type 3 SLAP tear and maybe rotator cuff damage. MRI on my knee at the same time cos painful for quite a while. Meniscus tear and something, also need surgery. But will repair the shoulder first cos it is the thing bothering me. This one really puzzling since no trauma, just like that. I do very normal sports and no heavy weights or even go gym.

     

    Another year lost.

     

    Sorry for the whining, really sibei sian.

    Sorry to hear.. I have been in your shoes before. torn shoulder labrum and did op in 2012. Then tear ACL in 2015 and op too. Since u have done it before, i think recovery will be faster. It's weird if it's not due to trauma as both my cases were due to trauma. 

    Anyway, just want to share with you my experience. IMO you should not shun weights or even going gym. When I had those injuries i was a typical weekend warrior turn up no warm up straightaway whack. after these 2 injuries, and doing countless rehab and seeing all kinds of tcm to chiro to massage, i have come to realise that going to gym, weight training, stretching and mobility are really key to physical longevity and to be pain free. So now, i go gym to do strength and mobility work. Eg shoulders do dead hangs (assisted if it hurts or if u can't hang long), rotator cuff cables, and i also do leg work to strengthen the lower body, hip mobility exercises cos i find my hips are always very tight. Dun need to lift heavy or push 1RM max. Now my shoulders and knees now feel as good now as i rem it to be, and i hope never to do any ortho op again. 

    All the best to your procedure and get well soon!

    Oh I didn't know it's there for some time. But really quite 多此一舉

    Alrdy got cashpark parking and also sh parking app which is so much more convenient. Maybe this can be used for cases where cashcard not enough $ or cashcard error then use this as backup to recover the parking charges.

    LTA will tell you that the new IU is like Lord of the system. One IU to unite all carpark payment systems! 🤣

    So purposely create more systems and apps to justify the new all in one IU system 😂

    Honestly if this is true I dun mind the ugly device as long no need to go through the countless apps and systems/websites. 

    Just 1 device on the car for all the car related payments I can live with it.

  13. Just came back from breakfast at old airport road. When drive out saw this barrierless entry. Think hosay liao, free parking on Sunday. Next thing drive out received sms from HDB. See the screenshot.

    Knn which scholar this time again force us download another useless app. Registered few times then succeed. Hate those apps force u to have long complicated password. Want to do just login thru singpass la. 

    Thks to our brilliant govt I've now got another useless app on my phone. 

    Ps: pls park at outside parallel lots if you intend to eat at old airport road.
