How to Unclog a Kitchen Sink Drain in Singapore | No P-trap Under Sink
The Singapore under sink plumbing set up is different than what I've seen in the states for the most part. This set up is pretty nice in many ways but also seems to clog up more frequently than most of the standard US p-traps I'm used to dealing with. This is really nice in the sense that when it does clog up you just put your water catch basin under the sink and unscrew the receptacle, dump it out, and screw it back on. Really a great set up if you ask me. The problem I saw was that it leaked no matter how tight I tightened it by hand once it was full of food waste debris.
Here's some good plumbing/unclogging tools to have:

DIY "How-to" Milwakee Sawzall Blade Change out for Dummies
A reciprocating saw is a wonderful tool and I've used them for thousands of handyman DIY construction and repair tasks over the years. This is a must-have for the power tool collection. Even though to many, it may be blatantly obvious how to change out a blade, it may not be to others or beginners. The first thing, like any other power tool blade or wheel change out operation, unplug the damn thing. I've seen a lot of injuries and almost got a few myself for being stupid or careless and not taking the simple step of unplugging the tool before changing out the blade, wheel, or bit. Once unplugged, you'll need an Allen wrench that fits the Allen head set screw in the reciprocating head. Typically these come with one but many of us lose these things. Loosen the set screw and the blade will come out. Many new models of reciprocating saws have quick disconnect style fittings on them so no wrench may be necessary depending on the model you have. Grab your fresh blade and place it back into the same position and insert it into the slot. Then tighten the Allen head set screw. You are now good to go.
If you don't have one or need a new one, here is a link on amazon to have one delivered: https://amzn.to/34AejAA

DIY Wet Saw for Cutting Glass and Ceramic Tile
These wet tile saws are the way to go. Once I started using one I never wanted to go back. They are pretty easy to use as well and also very clean. This tool is money well spent as it makes your life a hell of a lot easier when it comes to doing tile jobs. This video demo is on a specific brand however I have used many different kinds of wet tile saws (many of which were borrowed from friends) and loved all of them, especially after cutting tiles manually.
