The G1 situation in Singapore is nuts!

Today is the start of G1 SEA Cup but it's only the sales of items. The matches will begin on July 8th to July 10th with the finals happening on 11th and 12th. So sales of items begin at 10am to 12pm for players participating in G1. And 12pm onward will be open to public. There were lots of non-participants trying to enter the queue but the staff were quick in getting rod of them. The wildest thing to happen are scalpers trying to offer money to players to buy the items off them. We also helped by telling off these people. Sadly even at 2pm the queue for G1 players still wasn't cleared. I was lucky enough to be quite early in the queue so I got my items and went home. I knew Beyblade X would be popular but I did not expect it to be this popular

Each customer is given 15mins to get what we needed and make payment. We are limited to 2pcs per SKU. Example x2 WR, x2 Dranstrike and x2 pink launcher etc. Overall the staff worked really hard in maintaining order. I think we as a community should also help the staff in getting rid of scalpers or at least those who don't know how to follow simple rules.

Wah Stephanie jiejie leave PSP. Which party you think she join next?

I wonder what happened. I hope she will join Workers Party. Sadly SG got only 2 credible Opposition parties WP and SDP

Edit: Red Dot United also looks ok. So far Ravi seems ok. If they are able to get better members and play their cards right they can compete too

Should I invest in these products? Hahahaha

For context I'm joking. Anyway, I saw these in Chiang Mai (Thailand) and just had to share it here. But I won't be surprised if huge Pokemons fans (like really fanatics) actually bought these for their own collection hahahaha

So, this just happened here in Singapore (Swipe for more)

I really hope this will improve the scalping situation here in Singapore. I also hope this will be implemented in other countries especially Japan.

Thank goodness I'm not the only one. Why Bishan MRT so smelly?

On Thursday night I alighted at Bishan MRT NSL side and I could smell a very strong longkang/toilet smell. I thought Bishan is damn atas why now suddenly become a slum? Hahahahaha

It's about time they did something

For context, this is in Singapore's ToyRUs. I'm guessing now that Takara announced they will ramp up production they've also given instructions to enforce a purchase limit. Not to forget, our G1 is happening in July so for us advanced players and begginers will need new parts. Hope this will be enough to curb the scalping situation

There are toy stores that c8mpletely took out the BBX shelves and replaced it with random toys. Even the non meta Beys like Tricera and Phoenix Flare are gone. I'm guessing it's the new players that bought them as they have no choice

Edit: Forgot to add, this outlet is a B4 store (BeyBlade Battle Base). Meaning they get first dibs on new releases and G3/G2 are held in them. I'm only hoping this is applied to all outlets besides B4 ones

Any good mini camera recommendation for cyclist?

As per title.

I often cycle to MRT before parking there and go to work. I've encountered lots of drivers who don't bother to signal when turning and even more often at zebra crossings. Sadly I encountered my 1st bad experience yesterday. A white BMW driver did not bother to signal at zebra crossing but lucky I'm very alert and managed to brake on time. However, I still lost my balance and my bike dropped on the pavement but I managed to balance myself. I signalled the driver to drive while I picked up my bike and tbh I almost wanted to flip the bird.

I'm hoping to get a decent camera that's below $100 to clip on my basket. Ngl, I think it's time I capture these buggers and wake up their idea lah. . . . . .no lah, but I also want to get camera just in case something happens haha

Staff explains how to return your bottles for 10c

I'm guessing too many people put their hand inside nia. Actually the design also damn stupid. Just because it detects your hand so your bottle kena rejected. Iirc it's also not stated on the machine that you're not supposed to put your hand inside. At least make it user friendly lah so people of all ages can get back their 10c with no idiotic issues

Anyone been to NTUC recently? I noticed they are actively playing local music

As per title.

I thought these sort of thing will only happen near NDP but now is only May. I actually think it's good. Not sure if they are promoting our local music but I hope the singer/bands get paid properly. I always hear unknown songs being played till I noticed Regina Song's "the cutest pair" while buying my groceries. They were also playing Mandarin and Malay songs. . . . .if anyone knows the title to the Malay R&B with Beethoven's "Fur Elise" tune please let me know leh

Thailand players. What are the banned parts for your official G3 tournaments?

I'm a player from Singapore and I'm heading to Bangkok soon. I will definitely be taking part in G3 either on Saturday or Sunday. I will only be taking 3 Beys to save luggage space. Here in SG only Takara Tomy products that are sold in official B4 shops can be used (Wyvern Hover, Black PW and Red DB can't be used even though they can be bought or have same molds)

I have a friend told me Aero Pegasus can't be used as they are unobtainable in Thailand. If it's true he is out of my deck

For context, this took place in Singapore which is where I'm from. I'm guessing everyone is just tired and want to go home after a long day. It's very cringe that she keeps trying to "perform" for the passengers and can't take a hint from her surroundings. Anything for the views I guess
