What's Going Through SH’s Head Right Now 🤔

He may be overthinking it, feeling stressed, or even drinking a bit, which caused him to post the Forbes article from 26th November 2023, on his IGS.

Just to clarify, The Sassenach Blended Scotch Whisky won The World's Best Scotch Whisky award just in Singapore 2023 🇸🇬 The award was presented by the Tasting Alliance, who are well-known by SH and don't require more lengthy introductions.

In 2019, Tasting Alliance created the SWSC, which stands for the Singapore World Spirits Competition. This organisation is responsible for organising the San Francisco World Spirits Competition and the New York World Wine And Spirits Competition, both of which are very well-known by SH who was awarded gold medals in this competitions. The SWSC’s methodology is the same as the San Francisco competition, but it also focuses on Asian spirits producers, bottlers, and products that are available to Asian consumers.

The competition has gained popularity among consumers in the Asia-Pacific region, despite accepting entries from all over the world, including Scotch single malt, American Bourbon, Chinese baijiu, and Korean soju. In 2023, the competition received an entry for rakija, a type of fruit brandy commonly made in Croatia and other Balkan countries.

San Francisco World Spirits Competition 2023

Tomatin 36-Year-Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky has been awarded the 'Best in Show' title in the whisky category at the 2023 San Francisco World Spirits Competition (SFWSC). The whisky is part of the distillery's Prestige Collection, which positions it among the finest whiskies in the world, and its master distiller is Graham Munson.

New York World Wine And Spirits Competition 2023

In 2023, the New York World Wine and Spirits Competition voted the single malt from Islay Ardbeg 25 Years Old as the best scotch. This award is part of the Tasting Alliance group of wine and spirit competitions, which includes the San Francisco World Spirits and the Singapore World Spirits Competitions.

How do SH’s fans decide what whisky to buy when faced with a plethora of options, especially if they don't drink or know very little about spirits? Some may choose to stick with the only brand they know and have been buying but not drinking for the last three years, while others may opt for the most aesthetically pleasing bottle, hoping to impress the person they will give it to. 🤷‍♀️

Bangkok, Thailand 1972

Notice: Long haired male visitors

"Gentlemen,

Any male visitor who, in the opinion of an Immigration Official, sports long hair, is not welcome to Singapore. Long hair is defined as -

(i) hair reaching below an ordinary shirt collar; or (ii) hair covering the ears; or (iii) hair falling across the forehead and touching the eyelashes.

Such a visitor will be denied entry facilities unless he agrees to have his hair cut short immediately. Should the visitor be refused entry facilities, the captain/master of an aircraft or vessel which brought him to Singapore will be required to transport him to a place outside Singapore.

2. Airline and shipping operations and their agents are requested to take note of the above guide lines."

entry 1: change/get to know me

16th August 2023

change is the only constant in life.

21 years and i still struggle to internalise, let alone embrace change. it’s tough to embrace something that you can’t expect, something with the potential to make or break your life.

yes, hi. before we get any further into this entry, i’m nelly. 21. undergraduate. from singapore. and very, very lost.

i know that at this age, it’s commonly known as a transitional period where we’re starting school, ending school, starting our careers, moving overseas and whatnot. basically going all over the place, just hoping we’re making the right decisions for the sake of our future.

i graduated polytechnic in may 2022 and decided to take a gap year. i was already working as an intern during my last semester of polytechnic, so the transition into the industry wasn’t too abrupt. but still, it was the period when I also decided it was time for me to sustain myself. i stopped taking allowance money from my dad, i paid for my own bills, my food and all other expenditures and i was even giving my parents money.

this was a change, alright. but it was a controlled change. so still, not too bad right?

1st December 2023, 11:00pm

so. um. a little change of plans. and a little fast forward into time. the words above were written just days before my world felt like it was collapsing into me. my initial intended message of this entry to you, was to embrace change. i was also kind of hoping that i could convince myself that life right now isn’t too bad afterall.

but boy, i didn’t even manage to finish this entry before life bit me in the ass.

don’t get me wrong, nothing drastic happened. things in uni just got too overwhelming to quickly. academically, physically and boy…. emotionally.

to be fair, i didn’t even want to be in uni in the first place. but yknow, asian parents. so frankly speaking, i came into uni with not an ounce of proactiveness and initiative in my system. i knew nothing about the uni curriculum, the syllabus, requirements.

but at the end of the day, i was simply still a singaporean child yearning for academic validation. and when i realised i wasn’t doing too well, i panicked and i spiralled. for months. everyday i wake up and all i would feel is immense dread. for most of the struggle, my issue was feeling alone.

i think i can speak for most uni goers that there are no constants in uni. especially if you’re in a double major programme. unless you’re really lucky. there are no form classes like in poly/jc, no close rapport with your lecturers, and for the past few months i still feel like i’m still introducing myself with people. so i, have not been very lucky in that sense. my only friend in uni is my roommate, and she studies computer sciences. me? linguistics and english. most of my programme related ‘friends’ are all on a hi-bye basis. so that sucks.

i wanted so desperately to belong in some type of friend group or just have one constant friend, but to no avail. and i eventually just stopped trying. i still felt alone, though. just doesn’t feel too bad if i don’t try anymore, you know what i mean?

yeah, so i was struggling with trying to catch up with my module contents and i always just kept thinking about how it would feel if i had somebody else to struggle with, you know? the semester has ended, and this still hasn’t changed for me. but i’ve made peace with it. you can’t force friendships and i’m okay with that.

i, however, did spiral for months and it affected my relationship because i was relying too much on her emotionally. i was asking too much from her. since i didn’t have any uni friends, every lament, every whine, every complain went through her ears. and i won’t go too deep into it, but it did affect our relationship for a while and to be honest, it’s still kinda rocky now. but that’s a story for another entry.

along the way though, it felt like something changed inside of me. in a good way. maybe i was tired of constantly throwing myself a pity party instead of doing the shit i needed to do. maybe it was because i joined other things in school that didn’t make school feel like absolute hell.

it was a risk, of course– to add more things into my schedule when i was already struggling with what i already had on my plate. but god, they were such blessings. i am so eternally grateful for my dance cca. it’s not like we’re besties, but every time i came into practice i always just felt like i belonged. they treated me like it. it’s something that i didn’t, and still don’t feel in my programme. so it was really so, so refreshing.

after i joined, we were practising for a big scale performance so it was trainings after trainings after trainings and i was so so busy but so, so determined and excited. it gave me some sort of purpose as well as an outlet to destress physically in between rushing assignments and studying for my finals.

it’s semester break now. yay i survived one semester of uni! 7 more to go. it’s needless to say that i have more time on my hands, but i also have a lot i wanna do. go back to the gym, spend more time with my loved ones, write more! and of course, to NOT repeat my mistakes of this semester. so i’ll be reading up on my next semester texts to give myself a headstart.

anyways, i apologise. this is my first entry. so structure and content distribution wise, i’m not too sure what’s the right way to go about it. just take it as a little get-to-know-me piece hehe.

maybe you can let me know! did you read through the whole thing? did you get bored? was it tmi?

thank you for reading, remember to be kind to yourself <3

till the next entry, friends!

nelly.

Autogate Singapore: 10 Factors To Consider When Choosing

The demand for autogates in Singapore has surged in recent years due to their unmatched convenience and security features. These systems have become an undeniable solution for controlling access and ensuring safety from residential to commercial properties. However, with many available options, it can take time to decide which Singapore autogate system is best suited for your requirements.

This blog will explore ten essential factors when selecting an autogate Singapore system.

What is an autogate?

Autogate Singapore systems are an access control solution that automatically manages entry and exit to a residential or commercial property. Typically installed at the entrance or exit, such as a driveway or parking lot, it regulates traffic flow. The system can be activated using a remote control, keypad, or other access control devices.

An autogate system typically comprises a gate, motor, control panel, and access control device. The gate is the physical barrier restricting access to the property, while the motor opens and closes the gate. The control panel manages the gate’s operation and receives signals from the access control device.

Overall, autogate Singapore systems provide property owners with both convenience and security by enabling them to control who can access their property and when.

How to choose the right autogate

Choosing the right autogate system is crucial as it can affect the safety and accessibility of your property. This blog post will explore the ten factors to consider when choosing an autogate in Singapore.

Factor 1: Type of autogate Singapore systems

There are three types of autogate systems — sliding, swing, and folding.

Sliding autogates are ideal for properties with limited space.

Swing autogates are more suitable for wider entrances.

Folding autogates are a combination of sliding and swing and are ideal for properties with limited space and uneven terrain.

Each type of autogate system has pros and cons, and choosing the right style for your property is essential based on your needs and available space.

Factor 2: Material and durability

The material used for the autogate is an essential factor to consider because it affects the durability and lifespan of the gate. Aluminum, stainless steel, and wrought iron are common materials used for autogates. Because aluminium is lightweight and resistant to rust and corrosion, it is often the most desirable option. Another common option is stainless steel, which is sturdy, long-lasting, bulkier and more costly. Traditional wrought iron has a timeless appearance but is heavy and needs routine upkeep to avoid rust and corrosion.

The quality of the manufacturing and installation processes are other aspects that influence an autogate system’s longevity. When looking for an autogate in Singapore, pick a reputable manufacturer with premium materials and a solid track record of delivering robust and long-lasting autogate Singapore systems. Furthermore, a thorough installation is necessary to ensure that the gate operates as intended and is spared from damage brought on by a poor installation.

Factor 3: Size and weight

The performance of an autogate can be significantly impacted by its size and weight. A too-big or tiny gate might hinder its movement or harm both the gate and the motor. Similarly, an overly heavy gate might stress the motor, shortening their lives.

Before deciding, you should also consider the weight and size of your car and the space available to install your autogate Singapore system. Your vehicle should be able to fit through the gate in terms of its roof height and width. In addition, make sure the motor can support the gate’s weight without strain.

Factor 4: Security features

Security features are an essential consideration when choosing an autogate Singapore system. Autogates are often used as a security measure to prevent unauthorised entry into a property, so choosing a gate with reliable security features is important.

Common security features include:

Electronic locks — An effective way to secure the gate and prevent unauthorized entry.

Security cameras — Provide additional surveillance to monitor the gate and the surrounding area.

Motion sensors — Detect movement and alert the owner of any potential threats.

It is essential to think about your unique security requirements when selecting security features and select those that satisfy them. Confirming that the security mechanisms are trustworthy and have a solid track record of preventing illegal entrance is crucial.

Factor 5: Accessibility and ease of use

An autogate Singapore system must be simple to operate and available to everyone requiring it. This is especially important for families with young children or senior citizens. Keypads, remote controls, and sensors that can identify the presence of a person or a vehicle are a few elements that can enhance usability and accessibility.

The position of your Singapore autogate system and the surroundings must also be taken into account. An autogate system that is weather-resistant and can survive severe circumstances may be necessary if the location is prone to flooding or excessive rains.

Factor 6: Power source

Singapore autogate systems can be powered by either AC or DC sources. AC-powered systems are generally more powerful and suitable for larger gates but require a constant electricity supply. While DC-powered systems may run on battery power during power outages, they are more energy-efficient.

It’s crucial to consider power needs and the availability of a power supply when selecting an autogate Singapore system. A DC-powered system will be better if you are in a region where power outages are common. But, if you have a big gate that needs a lot of power, an AC-powered system could be more suited.

Factor 7: Maintenance and repair

Like any mechanical system, autogate Singapore systems require regular maintenance to ensure optimal performance and longevity. Typical maintenance tasks include lubricating moving parts, tightening bolts and screws, and checking for wear and tear.

It’s crucial to select an autogate system with simple maintenance requirements and accessible replacement components. When estimating its cost, it is crucial to account for the cost of maintenance and repair during an autogate system’s lifespan.

Factor 8: Noise level

Autogate systems can produce noise during operation, which can concern some homeowners. The type of motor, the grade of the materials, and the gate layout are all variables that might impact an autogate Singapore system’s noise level.

It is essential to consider the noise level and select a quiet autogate system when making your selection. This is particularly crucial for houses situated in peaceful residential areas.

Factor 9: Price and affordability

An autogate system’s price can vary significantly based on size, construction, and functionality. In addition to the initial purchase price, it is crucial to consider the long-term expenditures of an autogate system, such as maintenance and repair expenses.

Finding a balance between price and quality when picking an autogate Singapore system is crucial. While a cheaper system could save you money short term, it may not last long nor be as dependable as one that costs you more. Another thing to remember is the manufacturer’s reputation and the standard of customer service they provide.

Factor 10: Warranty and customer support

Finally, thinking about an autogate’s warranty and customer support alternatives is critical. A strong guarantee may provide confidence and safeguard your investment in case of flaws or malfunctions. Also, effective customer service may make resolving problems and locating new components simpler.

When selecting an autogate in Singapore, choose a producer with a thorough guarantee and dependable customer assistance. This can ensure that you obtain the maximum long-term value from your investment.

Investing in the right Singapore autogate system ensures your property’s security, convenience, and ease of access. You can decide which autogate system will best meet your needs by considering the ten factors outlined in this blog.

How to Control Household Pests in Singapore?

Do you enjoy having bugs in your house?

Naturally, nobody does that! Even those who find these creatures intriguing do not want vermin running loose in their home, causing unsanitary conditions. In actuality, the invasion of practically all pests—from the buzzing fly and itchy mosquito bite to the painful bee sting—is not only annoyance-inducing but also dangerous. Rats, cockroaches, and mosquitoes can spread sickness, but termites can harm your house. Complete pest control is the only solution for this issue.

How can they be repelled?

Keeping the bugs out is the greatest way to get rid of a pest infestation. Water, food, and shelter are the three essential components that every living thing requires to survive. You may make it difficult for these pests to feel comfy by eliminating their food source and hiding places. This will lessen the possibility of pests moving into your house. In order to keep bugs out, you should also seal any potential entry points, such as cracks and holes in the exterior of your home.

Common Household Pest Control in Singapore:

Garbage Disposal Procedures:

Did you realize? Pests enjoy hanging around in and near the trash. In actuality, they can reproduce there and get their food directly from the waste dump. To reduce the risk of these pests, you must be especially careful when disposing of rubbish. Instead of having garbage cans throughout your home, have one in your kitchen for putting out food waste.

Using trash cans with self-closing lids is one of the finest solutions because it keeps the debris out of insects' grasp. To prevent pests from feasting, make sure your compost bin is lined with fabric and has tight-fitting covers. As a result, recycle containers should be frequently cleaned and sanitised before being placed back where they belong.

Install mosquito screens: 

For natural ventilation, most homeowners like to keep their doors and windows open. Unfortunately, mosquitoes and other flying insects can easily enter your home through open windows. In this situation, mosquito screens keep pests and trespassers out of your house. Fresh air and ventilation can enter without being obstructed by the mesh. However, make sure the screen is impenetrable—holes allow bugs to easily crawl in.

Fill up the Holes and Cracks: 

Every home undoubtedly contains gaps, holes, and cracks that are simple to overlook when assessing our home. Rats and other insects can enter through these openings and explore your cozy abode. As a result, you should frequently inspect the outside of your home or hire an expert.

Clean Stagnant Water:

In the stagnant water, mosquitoes deposit their eggs and grow. Any stagnant water at your house needs to be covered or removed. Always keep an eye out for any water that has become stagnant in the buckets, flower pots, and other containers.

Conclusion

For affordable pest control services in Singapore, you can also get in touch with a reputable business like 1st Choice pest control.

Achieve Workplace Safety and Compliance: A Comprehensive Guide to Bizsafe Level-1 Certification

In today's ever-evolving business landscape, ensuring workplace safety is not only a moral obligation but also a legal necessity. One way companies in Singapore can demonstrate their commitment to safety is by attaining the Bizsafe Level-1 certification. This certification, part of the national Bizsafe programme, serves as a vital stepping stone for businesses aiming to create a safe and compliant working environment. In this guide, we’ll explore what Bizsafe Level-1 entails, why it’s essential, and how your company can achieve it.

Introduction to Bizsafe Level-1 Certification

The Bizsafe Level-1 certification is the entry point into Singapore’s well-known Bizsafe programme, spearheaded by the Workplace Safety and Health Council (WSHC). It is designed for businesses of all sizes and industries, helping them embark on a journey toward achieving a robust safety management system. Attaining Bizsafe Level 1 signifies that your business has taken the first step in committing to workplace safety by nominating a senior management representative to oversee the programme.

A company's reputation for prioritizing safety and compliance not only boosts its credibility but also protects its workers from workplace hazards. This level of certification encourages businesses to focus on improving health and safety measures from the top down, ensuring that every employee and stakeholder understands the importance of a safe working environment.

What is Bizsafe Level-1 and Why is it Important?

At its core, Bizsafe Level-1 certification is about getting the leadership of your company involved in creating a safety-conscious culture. The process begins with the appointment of a senior management representative who attends a half-day WSH Bizsafe workshop. This workshop introduces the concepts of Workplace Safety and Health (WSH) and Risk Management (RM), offering the necessary tools to develop a strategy tailored to your organization’s unique requirements.

The importance of this step cannot be overstated. Having senior management engaged in safety initiatives sends a powerful message to the rest of the company. Employees become more aware of their roles in maintaining a safe workplace, and potential clients and partners see the company as a trustworthy and responsible organization. Moreover, Bizsafe Level-1 certification is often a prerequisite for securing contracts in sectors like construction, manufacturing, and logistics, where safety regulations are stringent.

Steps to Attain Bizsafe Level-1 Certification

While the journey to achieving Bizsafe Level-1 certification may seem daunting at first, the process is relatively straightforward. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of how to attain this certification:

Nominate a Senior Manager: As mentioned earlier, the first step is to nominate a senior manager or representative who will be responsible for overseeing workplace safety within the organization. This individual must attend a workshop conducted by the WSH Council.

Attend the Workshop: The half-day workshop covers critical elements such as the responsibilities of management in ensuring workplace safety, the basics of risk management, and the legal framework surrounding workplace health and safety in Singapore. It’s designed to equip senior managers with the skills and knowledge they need to lead their companies through the Bizsafe process.

Obtain the Certificate: After attending the workshop, your company will be awarded a Bizsafe Level-1 certificate. This is the first step in a five-level process culminates in a comprehensive safety and risk management system.

Develop a Risk Management Plan: After completing Bizsafe-1, your company will need to work towards Bizsafe Level-2, which requires developing a Risk Management Implementation Plan (RMIP). This plan should identify workplace hazards, assess risks, and implement control measures to mitigate these risks.

Conclusion

Achieving Bizsafe Level-1 certification is crucial to fostering a safe and compliant working environment. By engaging senior management in workplace safety initiatives, your company can lay the foundation for a strong safety culture, ensuring that employees, clients, and partners all benefit from reduced risks and increased trust.
