Sense Making

Spent some of my SkillsFuture money on a RepairKopitiam one day workshop, Handyman: Home Repair & Maintenance.

Practical skills that I learned:

1. Change two types of locks, one usually used on bedroom doors and deadbolt, usually used on main doors.
2. Make cement and cement tiles down.
3. Make grout and grout tiles.
4. Safely drill through tiles, metal, wood and concrete.
5. Adjust cabinet hinges (crucial as hinges will loosen over the years).

It was fun! My first time handling a drill and learning how to handle it safely made me more comfortable using it.

Class size was 24pax, and we did some group work. I was thankful to have only 3pax in my group and the two guys in my group were very supportive. The instructor was a very chill retiree, so class moved at a pretty chill pace.

I’m going home to adjust some cabinet hinges. (˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶)

Note: Perhaps because some SkillsFuture money is expiring end 2025, so there’s a rush of people applying for RepairKoipitam’s courses. Getting into Nov and Dec 2025 courses was like rushing to get popular concert tickets, and after talking to other attendees, they had the same experience as me.
