[WTA] Parcel Self-Collection service

baskglory — Sun, 14 Nov 2021 14:52:00 +0800

Just started WFO and looking to have my Lazada/Shopee parcels sent somewhere for self collection. I prefer not to have my stuff sent to office or have it left with my guard house (they are not obligated to keep my stuff safe). Previously, pre-MCO I was a frequent Postco user. It was so convenient as I just have them sent to a pharmacy nearby my place and pick it up when I'm free. Recently I found out Postco has stopped providing parcel collection points since Aug 2021

A few days ago I tried Popbox just because there's one along my commute, and it didn't turn out well. My courier a Ninjavan guy called me few times while I was at work to tell me he can't access the Popbox. He said he needs to register to access it or something. Tbh that's my first time using Popbox so I cannot tell the guy how is the drop off system for the couriers. I just keyed in Popbox @ [insert place] in my parcel address. I checked the popbox website doesn't seem like I need to book a slot? Anyone who used Popbox successfully before can share your experience would highly appreciate.

Other alternatives:
1) MBE: read they have mailbox rental scheme. but the pricing is not advertised on their website. if anyone knows appreciate if can share.
2) Pgeon: not sure if they accept laz/shopee parcels or only collection of pgeon deliveries
3) Ezibox: only poslaju parcels - and laz/shopee can't choose couriers now

Any others besides this?

Anyone else exp side effects after 2nd dose AZ

Just got my 2nd dose AZ yesterday afternoon. 12 hours later, started having an awful headache and body ache. Particularly both my arms and my back. The feeling is like post intense upper body workout after not exercising long time. I can lift up both arms but require some effort. Lying down on my back felt uncomfortable so I couldn’t sleep the whole night.

My first dose was worst. High fever for 1 and half days, and mild fever for 2 days more after, palpitations, on-off chest pain that lasted few weeks after my injection, so this 2nd dose effect is considered mild I guess in comparison.

TL;DR, come share if you experienced side effects after your 2nd dose. Feeling like odd one out here. Was expecting not to feel anything because I’ve been hearing the general consensus that it’s pretty much no side effects after 2nd dose.

Peak Fitness

I'm thinking of joining the club at Sogo due to its accessibility by LRT. Can anyone tell me whether is it very crowded (which days/time), are the equipments in good condition, any shower/locker facilities, etc.

Would love to hear from anyone who goes to this gym, as I can't get much info on this compared to the big name gyms. Thanks.

Minimum requirement for A levels

Hello. I'm a spm leaver and I'm really interested in taking A levels to further my studies but I'm not sure if I will be accepted in the programme cause I read that I need at least 5 credits for that. But my spm forecast results are like this:

BM: B+
English: A+
Moral: A
Sejarah: A
Physics: D
Biology: D
Chemistry: D
Math: D
Add Math: G

Base on that I have only 4 credits. I'm not particularly interested in the maths and science field. Have regrets on joining the pure science stream back in form four. My parents didn't want me to limit my options by entering arts stream. Anyway, I was planning on applying at either ATC or BAC cause I plan on reading law after a levels and their fees aren't as expensive as Taylors or Help. But I feel rather hesitant to apply cause I think they might reject my application once they see that my spm forecast result is like this.

What do you guys think? Have you seen cases where colleges accept students with less than 5 credits? I've seen some other college state that need min requirement of only 3 credits. Not sure if that is for Alevels though. I don't want to do STPM
