Modafinil in Singapore

Many people remembered the movie Limitless where Eddie Morra popped a NZT 48 pill and became super smart. Well, in real life the closest magic pill you could get will be Modafinil.

Modafinil is designed for excessive sleepiness caused by sleep apnea, narcolepsy, or shift work sleep disorder. It is a great pill to take when you have a long flight jet lag. Although you won't turn into super smart genius like Eddie in Limitless but it does improve your focus and concentration by a big leap. 

Modafinil has became a trend in many leading universities around the world, UK and US. Young people used to pop pills to get high but now they pop it to get smart. You can google for information like "Modafinil university students" and you will have interviews, reviews and trend about the drug. 

It is not a magic pill where you could swallow and be a couch potato to get smart. It doesn't work this way. All it does is just improving your concentration. Everybody came across the problem when we try to read a few paragraphs and realized you didn't know what the first paragraph is about. You will have to re-read and re-read again to understand what you've been reading for the past 20 mins. Modafinil tends to improve this situation and you will be able to focus for a much longer period of time on a single subject.   

In Singapore as we know it, almost all the drugs requires prescription and so does Modafinil. I personally took it occasionally for the pass few years. Did I became smarter? I don't know, but it did put me through a few tough deadline projects over the years that I have to give credit for it. I didn't have any side effects on it but for obvious reason you would want to avoid taking it on a late afternoon. This thing can cause bad insomnia  Always take it in the morning with an empty stomach. The only way you want to get it without a prescription in Singapore is to ordered it online. I personally feels that it is way over-priced (US$2). If you really do order them online, remember NOT to order more than 50 pills per shipment. It most probably get stuck in the custom office. 

I always have some spare with me. If you want to try it, you could try to leave a comment below with a way for me to contact you. 

*I'm not a seller nor a doctor qualify to prescribe these pills. I'm just somebody that have a few in my drawer that I don't mind to share it. Please do not come placing a 500 pills order, I don't have that much.    


Dear Readers, I'm no longer stationed in Singapore thus could not help to share these pills. I do have a tip to share on how to get these pills really cheap. If you know any Indian workers going back to India for home leave, ask them to buy it at local pharmacy. It should not cost more than 50 cents per pop. I hope I could get your kind understanding. Thank you.

Magic mouse lost connection when lifted up (quick fix)

As bizarre as it sounds, Apple's Magic mouse design flawed with a weak battery cover. This article will be really short as nothing much I can talk about.

Apparently after time, the battery cover widen the gap with the battery itself and thus resulting in a split second disconnection between the battery and the terminals when you lifted your mouse and you lose the connection.

How to fix it?  

Remember using a piece of unwanted paper folding it and slip it under a 3-legged unbalance table? Well, that's exactly how you do it. Simply open up the mouse cover and put a folded paper and cover it back to eliminate the undesired gap.

Voila, you had your mouse back in no time!

Using CPF monies for HDB flat purchase

It is part of many Singaporean's life event where you sign on the dotted line and commit to a life long loan repayment.

In Sept 2009 I got news that I'm eligible to choose a flat unit and given an appointment date. My wife was just about to start her CPF contribution and mine was a pathetic 17k on my OA. Nonethless we chose our unit and pay up $2000 for deposit.

We continued going about our daily life and soon enough it was mid 2012. Our house is ready for key collection and our combined OA is only $70k. Our house is priced at a whopping $260k. Instead of letting HDB wept out all the money, I parked $10k in a safe investment. I called my friend working in the bank and ask to invest my $10k on a safest stock.

Tips about engaging a Bazi Practitioner

(Disclaimer: I'm not a practitioner nor expert in any ways. I'm just sharing my point of view in this subject.)

Bazi

It's an ancient Chinese art to understand oneself using birth chart reading with symbols of nature namely Fire, Earth, Metal, Water and Wood aka the 5 elements.

Everyone is born in blocks of 2 hours thus having 12 different timing in 24 hours. Since there are ying and yang, the element also splits into example, ying fire and yang fire. There are 12 months in 365 days creating 4 seasons represented by 5 elements thus we have 60 pillars in combinations.

Our birth chart is presented in 4 pillars in the hour, day, month and year.

I'm not going to write every detail of it because it would be impossible. I would just like to express my thoughts in this subject.

Many people engaged a Bazi reading practitioner to read their fortune and seek advice. Nothing is wrong with that but understanding what to expect is important. A practitioner (in my context) can only predict your luck to a certain extent. There is no practitioner that can tell you for sure that at a certain timing in detail what you are going to encounter. That's simply not possible. Do you know on a day within a 2 hours period how many babies are born? Are they all going to be knock down by a car at the same time? NO...

How to save money?

Saving money is easier said than done. All people agreed that it is important to save up for the raining days but with the temptations and sales going on from time to time, many fall prey to marketing strategies and end up with unnecessary stuffs.

Many people adopted a way of saving money by setting aside a predetermined amount and stick to it. Think about it, if you were to set aside $300 once you got your salary and forgetting having that money, nothing is going to stop you from saving $3600 a year. This method is when a unpredictable situation occurred that needed money, you have it. That's the purpose of it! Raining days and you have the umbrella. The problem with it is that people tends to target these saving in blocks of success. They might need $2000 for the situation and thus rendered the balance $1600 as an extra (Well at least for me). Instead of thinking that now they already had 5 months of $300 saving and 7 more months to hit the target again, they feel that the $3600 vows has broken and $1600 has to go in order to "reset" the clock for monthly $300. Another problem with this method is the inflexibility. We all need different amount of money on different month of the year (yearly road tax, insurance, property tax,etc). Saving a fixed amount of monthly seem easier for some months and not for the others.
