It’s the fourth season of CiNE65 with the theme of Home ◠Truly.
Yep, when you say the theme, you know how the song goes.
It’s a short film competition organized by Nexus, Ministry of Defence and this time, with this time they hope to inspire more Singaporeans to reflect on their hopes and dreams for the nation.
TL;DR : Join it, it has an open and student category, you’re able to win prizes like $3000, Panasonic 4k camcorder, learning trip etc. You like making videos? Just join it.
GameStart 2016 was at Suntec and well, at least from my own knowledge, no hijinks occurred involving any random aunties this year at this location.
Also, you probably could called GameStart as Overwatch Convention since yessssss. OW EVERYWHERE.
Because I’m biased, here’s a solo shot (hah!) of Ana.
Ok, OW everywhere and Mystic Messenger too but I don’t play MM.
The morning of when pokemon was released in Singapore, I actually dreamed of it and went “Huh, I dreamt that Pokego go released secretly in one morning” but I had a feeling it was that day.
And then… it really was.
Which is a nice coincidence. Anyway! It’s amusing to see that many people are coming out in twos, threes or in little groups as they walk about together.
There’s so many posts about it but eh, here’s my tips for you to pokego in Singapore.
Ok. So it was ‘sale’ week on Udemy and IÂ had been waiting for these courses to be on offer even if I wasn’t going to be paying them ‘myself’.
What better way to spend my Skillsfuture monies on courses I can just learn online at my own time?
Since I got the $500 credits, I should try to spend it when there are ‘offers’ so that I’ll be able to take more classes elsewhere too anyway.
TL;DR I MIGHT AS WELL PAY AS LITTLE AS POSSIBLE.
I signed up for some others but these two were able to be claimed via the Skillsfuture website.
Step one, you GOT to have the monies to pay for these courses first.
Any of the courses you want to sign up for that’s eligible for the credits, you have to pay first.
Then claim.
On the website just search using that part there before you even log in to see if the course you want is claimable.
I would like to state that Les Miserables is going to be held at the Esplanade theatres… So.
WHY DID MBS KEEP MOVING THE BARRICADES ON THAT DAY?
This is one of the worst red (blue) carpet events I’ve ever attended. Like what the HECK?
The TL;DR of this is: MBS, you messed up the blue carpet. I hope you won’t mess up any more future ones.
And now we begin, after the read more cut on how much you messed up if you need actual pointers on how to fix it.
Hellooo everyone!
I have been invited to try and review ShopBack!
It’s new to me and I went ooh because Shopback shows you the best deals and promotions online so it’s kinda like DISCOUNTSS for places you might be shopping online for.
Really, I usually google “discount code for X shop†and then try all the codes of whatever I find and then go boohiss because I can’t find any for the ‘local’ online stores here when it’s not sale season but they seem to have them!
OR if not discounts, how about getting your cashback?
You can find out more on ShopBack’s faq but the tl;dr version is you get cash back after you paid the full price of the thing you wanted. You can then cash it out into your bank account once you hit the minimum of $10 of cashback in your ShopBack account.
It shouldn’t be new to you if you’ve ever done an Aunty thing and used specific cards at specific stores to buy things full price and get cashback because you used the card.
So this time! You can actually get cash back by buying stuff on the online stores and going through this. HAH!
Anyway, you can save with Lazada coupons, that’s where I got my medikit, tactical pens and stuff you can use for props or gear.
Doll yourself up with Sephora vouchers because I can’t be hecked to go to the actual store when I’m too busy in real life.
Or go on an affordable staycation with Agoda discount codes.
If not staycation, vacation is also ok because there’s going to be an upcoming Comic Art Festival in Kuala Lumpur in 28 and 29 May. SO HMMM, anyone wants to go for that?
Also, since we’re all online now, you can also find the best promotions and offers on gadgets and cameras at the IT Show 2016 without actually going to Suntec this year.
And since it is going to be cosplay season soon.
Guys.
Did you know…
ShopBack IS ALSO AVAILABLE FOR TAOBAO?!!?!?!??!
Bye friends, byeeeeeee. If you don’t want your cashback, come. I help buy for you your thing and then get money back for it. Thanks, thanksss!
Ps. If you want to use Taobao they actually have a series of web videos officially saying how to use it. Watch below!
I went to Leap Day geocaching event in Singapore on 29 February 2016 (Duh). The coordinates were pretty much obvious and there were instructions on where to find them.
Since I was in the area, I took a more scenic route and went past the Civilian War Memorial.
If you guys noticed, if you went via underground routes, it feels so much longer to get to the other buildings?
You’re right.
I read/watched a report on tv once when they had descendants or families of those buried(??) there who got to check the place out. I mean, it’s special access only for some memorial anniversary or something but tl;dr what I remembered is that there’s a cemetery underneath that they don’t want to disturb because it’s the war memorial’s.
Nifty huh?
Also they probably don’t want to scare people and tourists about it.
Now, back to geocaching.
In the words of Twitter, here’s what you missed.

And I need you guys to help me achieve some things.
Firstly, I’ll say what’s going to happen and which ones would be the ones for youuuuuu to help me out!

But yeah.
