Quick Getaway from Kuching to Singapore with Scoot

October 31, 2022October 31, 2022 sweet surrender 3 Comments

It’s the last day of October and I didn’t do any updates since 18th October. If you did follow my social media accounts, I was away in Singapore for a quick getaway with my family for 5D4N. I’m already back for a week but procrastination got to me haha… In this post, I’m going to share what I got before travel and during the time I was there.

First Time Flying with Scoot

It’s our first time flying Scoot. We bought the ticket back in July. Scoot has daily flight to Singapore from Kuching. However, only Tuesday has morning flight to Singapore from Kuching. It is nicer to fly in the morning instead of at night. Otherwise, you can always fly with Air Asia and come back with Scoot. We flew on Thursday night. So, one day is pretty much wasted. Also bought travel insurance that has COVID-19 coverage from AXA. Before you fly, make sure you fill in the SG Arrival Card with electronic Health Declaration.

Just like any budget airline, you’ll be charged for check-in luggage, seat selection, food, and so on. Surprisingly, the luggage’s rate isn’t fixed. It goes up and down. Throughout my ticket-hunting days, I got three different rates each time I checked which is rather amusing. By the way, the hand luggage’s max weight is 10kg.

You can check in online when you are in Kuching but you still have to go to the counter to get your flight ticket printed. That is because there is no self-service kiosk at Kuching International Airport. However, if you are in Singapore, it’s all self-service. Worry not! There are people around to guide/help you with it.

Do print out your COVID-19 vaccination certificate or bring your vaccination card or digital one along as the check-in counter staff did ask for it.

Arrive Singapore

The flight from Kuching to Singapore was about an hour plus. It’s a very short flight. The arrival was at Terminal 1. At the immigration, the officer did ask us to show the proof of electronic arrival card. I did print it out to show them. You can show the softcopy too. It’s just my habit to print every document out when I travel as a backup. You’ll never know when your electronic device might fail you.

Singapore SIM Card

I bought a SIM card from Klook the morning before I flew. I bought the 4G SIM Card (SG Airport & City Pick Up) for Singapore (RM35.05, 7 days validity). The SIM card collection is outside the baggage claim. Once you’re out of the glass door, go to your left and head to UOB counter. Show the staff your Klook booking and they will provide you with the SIM card after keying in your passport details.

Do make sure you insert the card into your phone on the spot and check the usability before you leave the airport. I have no issue with the SIM card. It works well and I have at least 3 devices connected to my hotspot daily.

Singapore Transportation Card (EzLink)

You can purchase a transport card that can be used on MRT, bus, and monorail from the airport or any MRT station counter. The cheapest you can get from the airport is $10 (with $5 pre-loaded) from Changi Recommends. The counter is located before UOB counter where you claim the SIM card.

There is also 4G 2 in 1 Travel SIM (SG Airport & City Pick Up) for Singapore that you can get from Klook but can only be collected from Terminal 3 hence it is not so convenient if you are flying in from Kuching.

We got our transport cards from the MRT station the next day instead. The card costs $10 each with $5 pre-loaded.

After collecting the SIM card and ensuring its usability, we took a taxi to the hotel. The cost of taking a taxi from Changi to Hotel Boss was $30+ (inclusive of airport surcharge and a 25% peak hour charge). Will blog about the hotel in the next post.

Realme C35 – How to Save Photos/Videos to SD Card

October 18, 2022October 19, 2022 sweet surrender 1 Comment

Took me hours to finally figure out how to save photos/videos taken with Realme C35 camera to SD Card. I’m going to tell you how to do it in this post. I couldn’t find any solution online. If you are facing the same issue, this might help.

Realme C35 How to Save Photos/Videos to SD Card

It is actually very easy and straightforward. Insert the SD card and then switch on your phone. Follow the instructions on the screen. It will ask you to format it. Then you need to set it up.

How to do it?

On the setup page, there are two options. Namely, “Phone Storage” and “Portable Storage“. Choose “Portable Storage“.

I actually don’t quite remember the exact terms used in the setup page but “Portable” is the keyword!

Then you will be able to find it in “Settings” > “Storage” (refer to the image below)

After that, remember to go to “Camera settings” and change the “Storage Path” to “SD Card“.

Do note that this is only applicable for storing photos or videos you took with your camera. Any photos or videos saved or downloaded from other apps such as WhatsApp, Facebook, TikTok, websites, etc will not go into the SD card. I can’t find the global setting for it. You might have to set each of them one by one.

There you go. As simple as that! Why it took me ages? That was because I kept choosing the “Phone Storage” option.

If you did follow me on my Instagram and/or Facebook, you will know that I finally got myself a new phone after 4 years of using Huawei Nova 2 Lite. Will share about it once I’ve completed the video editing.

You can get the Realme C35 (4GB RAM + 64GB ROM) here in Shopee (https://invle.co/clen7pc). Mine is 6GB + 128GB ROM which you can find easily in physical mobile phone shops. While the SD card I’m using is SanDisk Ultra microSDXC USH-I 128GB (https://invle.co/clen7y8)

Easy 2-Ingredient Chocolate Milk using Cooking Chocolate

October 12, 2022October 12, 2022 sweet surrender No Comments

I have some leftover cooking chocolate left after making chocolate cake. So, I decided to make chocolate milk with it. The cooking chocolate itself is sweet enough so there is no need to add extra sugar.

Very basic ingredients. Just need hot milk with some cooking chocolate. A pinch of salt is optional. If you have chocolate sauce, it will make your life so much easier. Just hot milk with chocolate sauce. Mix them well. As simple as that!

By the way, isn’t the mug cute? I don’t think you can easily find this now. However, there are many similar couple mugs on Lazada. Do check them out if you want.

Limited Edition CubicFun 3D Puzzle of Guangdong Arcade Building

October 5, 2022October 6, 2022 sweet surrender No Comments

I didn’t buy this Limited Edition CubicFun 3D Puzzle of Guangdong Arcade Building. It was given to me by the Tourism Administration of Guangdong Province, China. I went there in 2017 for an official trip. I am not sure how many of these were given out but I just can’t seem to find them anywhere online. I’m guessing that this is specifically designed for the tourism administration as one of their corporate souvenirs.

I am not into this kind of puzzle. Almost 5 years later, I opened this up and assembled it. Hahaha… For the sake of uploading a video on my YouTube channel because I ran out of content ;p It is quite an easy puzzle. I’m sure those in primary school or even kindergarten know how to do it. It took me almost an hour though. If it’s not because of filming it, I guess I could complete it in a shorter time frame.

After making this, I did find it quite fun to do. I don’t mind doing some other 3D puzzles if I got my hands on them. However, I won’t specifically buy it 😀 I do not mind getting it as a gift though. Anyway, do you like to play with this kind of puzzle?

I’ve been to China a few times for work purposes but I’ve never been there for leisure. I did blog about it before but not about the work. It’s more on the places I’ve been to while on duty and hotels that I stayed in when I was there. Funnily, I did not have any post on Guangzhou where I got this puzzle because the trip was too overwhelming. I had no time to take many photos of the trip except for work report purposes.
