The iconic coffee shop is slated to reopen by the end of next month in its original location at 204 East Coast Road. It is best known for its traditional toasted kaya buns, kopi and baked goods such as Swiss rolls, cream horns, sugee cakes and luncheon meat buns. It closed in December 2018, citing lack of succession and manpower issues. Its return is in partnership with the Ebb & Flow Group, which runs food and beverage brands such as online business Tigerlily Patisserie, modern Chinese restaurant The Dragon Chamber in Circular Road and new modern European restaurant Sommer Dining at Marina Boulevard. In an exclusive interview with The Sunday Times, the group's chief executive Lim Kian Chun, 29, says that the brand will remain true to its traditional Hainanese roots. "There's no point doing this just to modernise it into another brand. Our vision was quite aligned and we will preserve its tradition and heritage," he says. Mr Lim, who lives in Katong, is neighbours with the Tan family behind the confectionery. Negotiations with the family began in January last year and were finalised in July. However, due to the ongoing pandemic, the opening was delayed to this year. The family remain shareholders in the business and are working closely with Mr Lim and his group's executive pastry chef Maxine Ngooi, 29, of Tigerlily Patisserie, to pass on their heritage recipes. Madam Sharon Tan, 62, the granddaughter of the confectionery's late founder, says: "Mr Lim and Ms Ngooi both grew up eating our pastries, and so did their parents and grandparents. They understood how important it was to the wider community. "They have always consulted us on all decisions and we have a very good relationship." She says that she and her mother, Madam Leoang Kwang Ling, 81, who is Chin Mee Chin's main managing partner, have enjoyed a good rest during the two-year hiatus. "Now, we are charged up and our energy is back," adds Madam Tan, who recalls helping to wash cups at the shop from age six with her elder sister and younger brother. The coffee shop, which has been around since 1925, was named Chin Mee Chin - which means genuine, beautiful treasure in Mandarin - by Madam Tan's late father Tan Joon Ling in the 1940s. Its iconic signboard, along with its green floor tiles and original tables, will be preserved. The bulk of renovation works will be done in the kitchen. Seating capacity will be doubled to 50 seats, including a new alfresco area. Paying homage to the brand's history, Mr Lim will bring back charcoal-grilled buns, as well as the use of coffee beans instead of powder. Prices will increase but "remain affordable", says Mr Lim. However, he is figuring out how to offer "heavily discounted prices" to Pioneer and Merdeka Generation customers. "They are the original customers. It is not about making money from them, but giving them a taste of what they had," he adds. Other new openings the Ebb & Flow Group is planning include multi-concept venue Katong Kanteen - now open for delivery first - at 266 Tanjong Katong Road; and Tigerlily Patisserie's first dine-in concept at 350 Joo Chiat Road, which will launch next month and focus on pastries made with seasonal produce. The patisserie now operates from HongKong Street. Once it moves to Joo Chiat, the HongKong Street location will be converted into another dining concept under the group, slated to open by end April.1 point

He feels his partner is just milking him for money! So divorce, give her her share instead of she having the whole lot! I think he's married less then 10yrs! I told him to write (lawyer) in to CPF and ask for advance Cpf withdrawal! They no kids. So can sell the apartment and rent small room. Just Spend all his money on himself! Enjoy what he loves to do!

Clicking on the mute button is like a double-edged sword. You've either said too much, or well, nothing at all, like this math teacher at the National University of Singapore (NUS), who only realised that his words didn't reach his students at the end of a lecture. In a recent YouTube video, Associate Professor Wang was seen wrapping up his lecture with a Q&A section. However, he was met with complete silence from the class. Finally, a student replied, telling Wang that he had been on mute the entire time. "We cannot hear anything from you since 6.08pm," the student explained. "From what?", a visibly shocked Wang asked, before turning to his left to look at the time, which was said to be close to 8pm. He then questioned his students how much of the lecture they've heard, as he tried to make sense of what had happened. Another student told him that they were only able to catch what he was saying in the "first few minutes". "Yeah, and from 6.08pm onwards your screen froze and we heard nothing from you ever since," one more student chimed in. As the reality sank in for Wang, he panicked and appeared to be hyperventilating for approximately eight seconds, before resigning to his fate. He then told the class that he will repeat the lesson on a later date. A student, who goes by the username @azusa chan, claimed to be present during the class and shed some light on the incident in the video's comment section. "Students tried all sorts of things to get his attention by unmuting and even calling his phone number", the student explained. However, Wang did not seem to notice the phone calls and moved along with the lesson. Many students left the lecture, seeing that there was no end to the technical difficulty. The student also wrote that the entire lecture was conducted on an iPad, adding that "many things [would] go wrong on such a setup". "After this incident, he left his phone beside him whenever he is conducting [a] lecture so we could call him in case of an emergency", the student concluded. The comment came after netizens blamed the students in the lecture for not informing Wang about the technical hiccup. AsiaOne has reached out to NUS for more information.1 point

I'm guessing the optimum charging voltage and current are not 5V/2A respectively. haven't looked into it, but it could be doing 20V/3.25A = 65W highest instead of 10W. I don't think it's gonna be catastrophic to let it charge at typical USB 5V, just not as efficient maybe.1 point
