Singapore Credit Cards for Miles

The two best cards are the DBS VISA Altitude Card and the UOB PRIV Miles Card

DBS Visa Altitude
- 1.6mies if you spend $2k per month
- What i like most about the card is that it is a VISA. i.e. more generally accepted and I can use this one card for literally everything
- What i dislike most about this card is the travel insurance, take note their travel insurance may cover your LIFE for $1million but it does not cover anything else e.g. late baggage, medical (which is the main reason why one should buy travel insurance anyway)

UOB PRIV Miles Card
- 1.6 miles without a minimum spend
- 2.5 miles for purchases overseas
- Partnership with AMEX and quite a lot of the shops I go to do not accept AMEX
- Apart from good miles, the travel insurance is fairly comprehensive (it includes medical)
- Free limo trip to the airport if you charge the airfare.

These two are certainly the top two. The other cards (that are within reach of normal/slightly affluent Singaporeans) are really shitty, the worst being Krisflyer gold, Citi Premier Miles etc. 

Managing photos on iPhone/iPad iEtc

Syncing photos on the mac for iPhone can be such a pain because syncing and managing it is two separate function. And since I was too cheap to buy appeture or iPhotos, I have to find other ways to manage photos on my macbook.

To manage photos (i.e. download them to your macbook) and not sync and find that your photos is inside a "Photo Database" file which is a 4KB unix file - which actually redirects to the iPhone backup folder. Truth be told, whenever you sync, the files are actually on your computer inside the following path: but you can't use them. its giberish. You need to organise them and this is how:

In short:

1. Connect your iphone
2. Create a folder on your Pictures main folder, I call mine "Aaron's Iphone"
3. Start Image Capture (can be found under applications)
4. Select to import to "Aaron's Iphone" folder and import all.
5. Manage the pictures and the next time you can sync accordingly

hdd recovery

1. try this:
diskutil list
sudo gpt recover /dev/disk3

2. if that fails, try recovery:
- easeu data recovery is pretty good and fast
- disk drill is also pretty good but doesn't remember the file names
