So recently I applied for a part time/ flexible role in FnB.

Went down for interview and they made me fill in a generic application form and the manager showed me the kitchen. All in all it took just 20mins or so. They then told me that they will submit my form to the HR and to await their response.

It happened last week and I asked them about it after the weekend this week.

However I've been told over WhatsApp that they've found someone to fill in the role.

Out of curiosity I checked google and the job listing still seems to be up.

I know ultimately hiring or not is up to their discretion, but is it common to be on the receiving end of such a lie ?

I applied only to work on weekdays for morning/afternoon shift, maybe that's why? Should I ask them why since afterall it's something (my chosen shift slots) I prefer but I am flexible with it too?

So there is this Facebook account BD news 24 seemingly run by a Bangladeshi migrant worker driver and usually posts videos about car accidents and random happenings on the road. I am not sure if it's one person or a few people.

However he(assuming 1 guy) has also posted several videos in a misinformed and even harrassing manner claiming that the cyclists he videos are acting in a dangerous manner when they are doing nothing wrong at all while HE HIMSELF, is the one tailgating them in an unsafe manner instead.

Most other people are actually in agreement ,saying that there is no wrong being done by the cyclists. They have helmets,lights, and are riding in a predictable straight manner. This isn't some brakeless fixie YP group riding down Orchard weaving in and out with no lights.

I want to get an opinion from the community ,what do you all think? Should I report him?

Just curious if anyone from the ages of 21 and up but before retirement hasn't owned a laptop or computer in a long while or ever.

Me personally, I last got one for polytechnic under the subsidy and it just so happened to die a year after graduation. My job stints thereafter are all hands on and ever since then I haven't touched a keyboard in years.

I feel like if I were to use a computer now I would need some time to get used to it again, but until that day comes, i don't see myself ever getting or using a computer or laptop.

Edit: desktop computer

What's the optimal balance for training between distance(volume), elevation, and intensity.

I ride about 330km a week +- 50 km.

I do :

one recovery ride under 50

one mid distance ride 60-85km

two shorter rolling ride 55-75km (eg. Mandai or Sentosa), 1 will be harder with zone 3/4 threshold intervals

one group ride similar to the rolling ride (but higher intensity, sometimes mini race like )

one climbing ride - hardest to do without getting bored af. usually 5 to 8 laps of intervals on Faber because Singapore doesn't have any higher elevation

Is this a good balanced ride plan? I don't own a power meter, bike computer or any gadgets. I ride by feel with my phone in my back pocket. I do my Faber intervals basically max effort with certain landmarks to know when to kick up the effort. As for the rolling z3 and z4 longer intervals, I go by approximate counting in my head

While I found my endurance for total volume to be better, my climbing and everything else seems to have sort of stagnated(going by average speed after the ride is uploaded onto strava).

In fact my climbing has even regressed from 2 years ago. Back then it was usually 5:00 - 5:30. Now it's 6:00 - 6:30. Could it be gaining 6-10kg or is there something wrong with my training plan.

Just do even more climbing since that's what's lacking when I look at my total weekly stats, maybe even 2 sessions a week? however I don't like doing this as Faber laps can be boring sometimes and I live in the east so riding there and back is already a little bit of a drag at 45km or so

Anyone with insights and/or pro advice could you please advice, thanks,much appreciated.

*PS I've left out purely commuting rides of 5-8 km on pavements that happens 3 to 6 times a weeks as I don't see them as proper training sessions*

As per the title
