PEK⇔SG别忘 recurr #tokens

This bpost has lots of overlap with other bposts. For some trips, this format is intuitive, with a memorable bpost title.

Focus .. forgetables

— bring back and forth

  • which cards .. MRT, MLP badge
  • which tokens .. DBS
  • small laptop + SD card
  • ccard+basic amount of cash
  • — Tier 1 important
  • phone+laptop with chargers
  • passport+NRIC

— leave at #1169

  • local coins
  • keys

— hardware tokens … chance of usage is low (below 10%)

  • the longer I’m out, the higher that chance
  • the more “events” take place, the higher that chance. One event is accidental transfer-in too much — I would need to transfer out.
  • chance of physical loss of token .. is lower.
  • As a by-product, the token can reduce the reliance on the xxx13516 SIM card when it is kept outside any phone.
  • altertivies to token while outside Sgp
  • .. daily small transfers, but DBS threshold can be very restrictive.
