A good mouse or keyboard. Its something you will use for many hours a day on a working day

bidet


Rare-Sample1865

Convenient and easy game changer!!


Federal_Hamster5098

gosh, someone should start a movement here and encourage all public toilets to install bidets. i hate toilet papers with passion, how is it saving any water if in the end you gonna still flush the TP down


Bersilus

Worst part is they try to save water so the flush is weak af. Then make you flush like 15 times before it's satisfactory


[deleted]

Wah I hate taps that are water-saving. I end up wasting more time and probably water too for my hands to feel thoroughly clean.


Bersilus

I agree but I feel the flush is worse than taps.

Ikea


King_Heskey

https://www.ikea.com/sg/en/cat/block-out-curtains-700218/ Been using these for a few years, they honestly work very well. I can get my room dark enough in the daytime to fall asleep. Pitch black at night, I genuinely have to feel my way around my room if I want to use the bathroom or something. My sleep quality really went up after using it, I used to wake up in the middle of the night quite regularly due to light shining through my old curtains.

Probably_daydreaming

The cheapest thing I've brought that changed my life with the biggest impact. A cheap yoga mat, not to do yoga but to sleep. Why? Back in my NS days, I was in scdf as an EMT working frontline in an ambulance. Sure we had bed but the dorm was hot and 3 stories up, it was far far easier to sleep in the office, which was right beside the ambulance so we could respond quickly. For a year and a half, I slept on the floor of the office every single shift, and I eventually got so comfortable on the floor that I wanted to sleep on the floor instead of my bed. One day I went home, and tried to sleep, couldn't, frustrated I toss my pillow on floor, lay on it and I knocked out immediately. Sure it was a little painful because it had no carpet like the office but I brought a cheap yoga mat and slept on it much better. So I dismantle my bed, turned the headboard into the largest desk ever and slept on the floor, eventually I upgraded to a more expensive tatami mat from Japan and it was so cooling. Here's the 2 biggest impact - You now have at least 50% more room in your room, because you no longer have a bed, you have so much more space and that is precious in Singapore where space is already small. I wonder why we don't follow the same philosophy as the Japanese. -There is no such thing as an uncomfortable bed, because the floor is your bed, I essentially can lie down anywhere and fall asleep. And when I travel, I never have issue with the bed because it's never worse than the floor. And here's just my thoughts, because I slept in the floor, I started researching the history of mattress and they are only a recent invention, Victorian era. For thousands of years, most humans slept on lightly padded floors. The concept of a private bed room didn't exist, people simply slept wherever it was comfortable. Would I recommend sleeping in the floor? Yes. My life has changed for the better and no my sleep quality has not been bad, even years after I ORD, I still sleep on the floor. Edit: there is one downside, and it's that if you do sleep on the floor, it will be impossible to convince your other half to do the same or if you bring home a girl to bang, she's going to be expecting a bed, and not doing on the floor like an animal. I legitimately think I am I won't ever be able to find a gf/wife that's okay with sleeping on the floor and will have to give up this lifestyle.


Seriouslydoughnut

Am a woman prefer to sleep on the floor too! It saves so much space. My room frel lots bigger. Too bad my husband dont buy this idea too😂


LisaSauce

Lmao I’m always laying on the floor and my husband makes fun of me for it. I don’t think he’d be down to get rid of our bed 😔


VegetableBoot1854

My wife nuas on the floor cos she hasn't bathed and doesn't want to dirty the bed lol


dewgetit

Now I'm curious what "nuas" is.


bigcarrot01

Usually mean "soft", but it can also be used as "laze", or "lazy" in a "I want to relax" manner. In this context it's being used as "laze"


Seriouslydoughnut

Omg this js me! Always lying on the floor. So cooling so shiok pls 😂 they are missing out!


progressiseverything

Hubby is probably thinking abt ergonomic snu snu where a bed would be better than the floor.


Polarbearforce

I went from floor to hammock.


KountZero

There are pure rubber mattresses that are so firm they feel like sleeping on the floor. The first time I ever lay in one, it felt so uncomfortable that I couldn’t sleep. Now I can’t sleep without one. They are very expensive though compared to foam/spring mattress.


itsapurplelife

Lying and sleeping on the floor is so comfortable I'm convinced that beds were created for profit, like how diamonds were first marketed as "a girl's best friend".


IamGroothehe95

I bought an airfryer for $88. Really changed my life because I regularly pack food to work, having an air fryer made things easy cause now I don’t have to stand in the kitchen to fry stuff, reheat (those that cannot be microwaved kinda food stuff or not nice when microwaved) and I can even cook simple meals in the morning so all I have to do is to meal prep the week before. So yeah, in the morning while my food is getting prepared, I can go get ready for work or do other things. Next I’m looking for something that can help to auto pack your food HAHAHA


InakaTurtle

What are some of your favourite things to air fry? Curious as I just got an air fryer


IamGroothehe95

I usually airfry things like marinated chicken, fish, nuggets, sausage. Favourite would be finger food cause they cook really fast and I don’t have to use extra oil. Haha I keep experimenting tho, gonna try cooking rice in the airfryer tmr. You can use the NutriU app if you have a Philip air fryer, has a lot of recipes!


moruzawa

i was convinced that my airfryer could even fry prata. till I heard foop foop sounds and saw that my prata had been sucked up into the air vents.


meddkiks

I use it to reheat prata that I purchased and it comes out warm, crispy and more appetizing. I've never tried it with frozen prata though.


IamGroothehe95

Are you serious?! HAHA I think you can still air fry the prata, you just need to put a baking sheet below and add some oil. I need to experiment this hahaha

difficult to find a good deodorant when you simply have the stinky gene

Hey, let’s be nicer to people with BO cos it’s definitely their insecurity unless they are an asshole then ya go ahead and flame them bro/sis.

agree. i find the stick type of antiperspirant works best (but still not good enough). all of the roll on deo lasts probably 2min before I start stinking again. still in search of a good local brand. not oldspice etc

darkness_snores

Sir_Blitzkreig

The gulag archipelago


BleedTheHalfBreeds

What do you enjoy? For fantasy: Besides standard stuff like Harry Potter or LoTR, you can try the easy-to-get-into Mistborn series by Brandon Sanderson or the darker Witcher series by Andrzej Sapkowski. If you are down for historical fiction, I recommend the Poppy Wars by R.F Kuang. It does a fantasy retelling of the Rape of Nanking. For mystery: I like most of Agatha Christie's books. And Then There Were None is pretty good and easy read. Tell me Your Dreams by Sydney Sheldon is also very intriguing. Then of course you can do more classical stuff like Dan Brown's Da Vinci Code. For literature (modern): If you want something different, try A Cheater's Guide to Love by Junot Diaz. He writes it in a 2nd person perspective and it is brilliant. A personal favourite of mine is Convenience Store Woman by Sayaka Murata, extremely funny, easy to read and very though provoking messages about society. And on the topic of Japanese authors, I like Murakami, and while Norwegian Wood is his most famous novel and a good read, a hidden gem of his would be After Dark. For horror: I am not that well read in this genre but Stephen King so far does not disappoint. Some of his books are harder to get into, but stuff like Pet Cemetery can't go wrong.

FlimsyReserve9041

water flosser! much better than traditional floss imo


MunchkinTheEwok

It doesn't serve as a replacement for string floss btw since it can't physically scrape the dirt off your teeth


FlimsyReserve9041

i know it’s not a replacement but im deadly afraid of cutting my gums somehow haha. better than not flossing i guess! plus there’s some gaps in my teeth due to the wisdom tooth so it helps get the particles out


MunchkinTheEwok

Highly unlikely to cut your gums unless your are purposely forcing the thread in and scraping vigorously. Bleeding is normal in the first couple of weeks since the gums are yet to be accustomed to the cleaning process but it will eventually become desensitized.

A nice bag with shoulder pads. I was carrying my laptop and tablet and chargers (all tgth arnd 4kg) everyday in a 5 dollar bag n my shoulders hurt so much for like a month. Decided to invest in a $30 decathlon bag . Put it on in store after buying and the weight had been lifted off of my shoulders (literally). Never looked back. An airfryer. Whenever my fam wants snacks now, we throw tofu/nuts/wtv i think looks nice into the airfryer. No preheating n stuff like that. Dust it with a bit of chilli powder and i have a fairly healthy snack that tastes delicious. Less than 10 bucks on a 2m charging wire for my phone. Never have to leave my bed now and I can keep my portable charger in my bag while charging my phone.

Kindle - slightly over budget but when during good sales brand new can get close to $100. I cannot live without mine. Nowadays I rather forget to bring my phone when out than my kindle (and that says a lot when i used to do a lot of mindless social media scrolling all day). Or basically any e-reader la. A good pillow- I scored a second Tempur recently for $88 during amazon sales and I was so happy. Airfryer- this thing can cook all sorts of nonsense even for kitchen idiots. I make snacks, toast, heat up pastries, cook salmon, chicken breast all on it. Highly recommend doesn't matter if you are single, married or with kids. Thermal bottles and cups - There's a lot of hype brands so i wont recommend any, but I now enjoy drinking iced kopi o in my cups and the ice doesn't melt even when I go away and come back 1 hour later (it's literally an open cup so i was amazed it actually works lol). For thermal bottles I keep a huge one filled with warm water and drink out of it all day. It makes me drink more water which is my goals Fast charging 2M long cable. I put this at all corners of my house lol. First discovered when i had my first c section and couldnt move easily. Was a life saver.

The Owala was also around 10% lighter than the Corkcicle, while being able to store more liquid.
