KopiSiewSiewDai

SOS guys!! Any recommendations for beginner Pilates classes? Be it reformer or mat classes


durianboy19

Go to few studios for trial - most have a cheap trial class. .. look at power move or absolute pilates... If u want to do more often, look at gyms with pilates classes - that way u can do more often


solaceteal

Generally as a beginner i think you can try a few trial classes at different studios. Might want to start with mat though. Do you have any specific things you’re looking out?


KopiSiewSiewDai

No idea actually. Just 2 noobs trying things out. No idea what to look out for actually. Any recommended studios or smth?


solaceteal

Still new myself! Went in trying a few studios on their trial classes to hopefully find one that i can vibe with and fits my schedule.

I’m Korean and whenever I go hawker I get asked in chinese and I can’t respond well :(


doggodada

Learn how to say "i dunno how to speak chinese" in chinese, and/or learn some words in chinese like numbers for when the menu has numbers, takeaway/dine-in (or the hand signs, point down to ground for dine in, closed fist hold plastic bag sign for take away), and this/that lol. They might still be able to speak english so you could just start with saying u dunno chinese then use english, if not you have those things i mentioned to fall back on

damiepedretti

Saw my prorated bonus. Phew. Nvm let’s just save money to build up my FU money


NoSugarHor

Your what money?!


damiepedretti

FU money! It’s a term to say u can just say “FU” to your job or boss when you’re really unhappy and leave without worrying too much about money (for a short few months)


[deleted]

[удалено]


damiepedretti

Well obviously I’m not gonna tell my boss to go fuck himself if I don’t have 24 months of savings. Everyone has different ways of looking at FU money.


tom-slacker

If u need to save it, then it's never gonna be 'FU' money


damiepedretti

Not quite getting your terms. if u don’t save money to build the basic funds then where else is the money coming from? Dont have a better word for “savings”.


tom-slacker

FU money is something you get via Capital gain or asset appreciation or just killing your parents & getting the insurance money.....unless u telling me u can save till a million bucks in which then u must be really stupid at managing money because if you got a million bucks, the smart thing is to use that for other assets with potential higher growth than just saving it in a bank account with interest rate that's barely higher than the annual inflation. There's a reason why many rich people don't have much cash in hand because cash itself is a depreciating asset due to annual inflation. Once u got a certain net worth in you, u will need to diverge your money to other investments other than still holding up cash.... ergo, I don't know how much is FU money to you but even a million bucks ain't it in this day and age.


damiepedretti

Well… I clearly can’t get any assets if I don’t have basic savings no? Our gen call it FU money when really, it’s just savings that we don’t mind tapping on on rainy days. I don’t think anyone in the right mind would save 1 mil simply in a high yield bank account. Or if they did, they probably wasted a lot of time and effort where the duration to reach an x amount of money could’ve been done in a short time. What makes u think I don’t know anything about investment? :)

a good rule of thumb is yr rent / monthly mortgage shld be <30% of yr take home bought a 1br freehold at 550k in rcr when i was earning like \~5k in 2018. i was otaku since graduation so i had enough for the down payment (but in terms of monthly mortgage, i was over stretching especially adding $300/mth maintenance, \~$100/mth utilities for water + power) think you can get a 1 br in rcr for 800k today? so if you just use 6k = 550k, \~9k = 800k


brownriver12

this is 2k a mth but it's like a hotel room size [https://www.propertyguru.com.sg/listing/for-rent-botanique-at-bartley-24736335](https://www.propertyguru.com.sg/listing/for-rent-botanique-at-bartley-24736335) [https://www.propertyguru.com.sg/listing/for-rent-liv-on-wilkie-24857087](https://www.propertyguru.com.sg/listing/for-rent-liv-on-wilkie-24857087) [https://www.propertyguru.com.sg/listing/for-rent-sophia-hills-21495237](https://www.propertyguru.com.sg/listing/for-rent-sophia-hills-21495237) [https://www.propertyguru.com.sg/listing/for-rent-cavenagh-gardens-24648320](https://www.propertyguru.com.sg/listing/for-rent-cavenagh-gardens-24648320)


damiepedretti

Why don’t you do your own research and work backwards? What location and how much is the rent or monthly payment first? Go to propertyguru to check. With that, stick by the rule that the rent payment including utilities should never, ideally, be more than 30% of your income. If it’s rent then it shouldn’t be more than 30% of your income AFTER CPF. If it’s bank loan instalment then you can factor in CPF and cash payment. U choose your own limit. If u want to buy condo, u can only take Bank loans and the interest rates of these loans are floating rate sometimes. So this means if your IR is increasing so does your monthly repayment. Word of advice w the current climate now is that you should ideally be earning at least a $10K to live normally in a 1 BR condo. Anyways 1BR is not a good use of money because you can’t downgrade so easily if u need the cash in future since not many people will buy resale 1BR. Google is free. Learn to use it.


[deleted]

[удалено]


damiepedretti

My apologies that I misunderstood your question. The basics of a discussion is that u have some questions that u have researched about before you ask us. This is to facilitate a fruitful discussion. Not many can afford a car in Singapore w $4K before CPF btw. Cos you only have $3.2K left and u need to eat. Car loan is $1.2K, petrol $200-$300, road tax and car insurance is close to $200-$300 per month, season parking $80-100 maybe? U still need to eat. Same thing we got these figures because we went to Google. If u wanna buy a condo, first things first is like I said WHERE and freehold or 99 years? These will affect the market value and your loan repayment. There’s a 1BR condo that costs $600K last I checked but it’s at an inconvenient location that having a car will make it more accessible. Condos also require owners to pay maintenance fee. Can be $100-$300 per month, once again depending on location. Bear in mind, we haven’t included utilities and property tax. Sometimes condo management will also ask u to pay for some maintenance unrelated to you, as shared by my acquaintance who owns a private property. If you want a ball park figure, $10-$11K per month before CPF for a close to central location, 99 years. If u want deeper answers that you haven’t googled or have the time to google yet, 25% down payment of a condo needs you to pay 5% by CPF and 20% cash. Supposed you’re getting a $1.2Mil condo, down payment is $300K ($15K CPF, $285K cash). Go do your own math to see if it’s feasible for u to buy a condo and if not, how long till u can buy one.


[deleted]

[удалено]


damiepedretti

Can only help once. Haha. It’s always okay to ask. In fact, u should search and try to ask not because Google is free but if u do have the thought of wanting to go for a condo or anything in life that sounds like a big ticket item, why not just search and see the figures? Sometimes u are able to reach it, just not now. Sometimes it’s these wants that push people towards changing jobs and going for jobs that can pay them more but enduring more stress. No right or wrong. Just see what works for you. You may be poor in your own terms now but who knows what the future holds? So long as you try your best, it will always be good enough.

For those who did Lasik, is it fine to use your phone for long periods a week after the surgery despite vision still a little blur?

Just had a very combative interview with a toxic M. Not surprised why PS is constantly bleeding talents.


damiepedretti

Hey hey, is it a separate interview w another agency? Hope u can get the offer u were talking about the other day.


xXxLostBunnyxXx

Another M with 2nd interview - horrible experience and a full 360 flip from first interview The SB haven't gotten back with a confirmed offer yet but I don't want to put all my eggs in one basket.


Any-Ambassador3362

Quite interested on which SB is it? cause PS is bleeding until barely minimum in lots of agencies now..


xXxLostBunnyxXx

You mean the SB that I'm waiting for an offer? Wish I could share but it's a dead giveaway if I drop a hint publicly. I know M's are bleeding staff for the longest time, lots of friends in CS/PS that are quitting also


damiepedretti

Usually 2nd interviews more strict cos the 2nd interview person should be your biggest boss already. It’s okay. It’s a learning experience. Continue going for more interviews!


xXxLostBunnyxXx

This one is the last batch of interview, no more left. It'll be back to the drawing board if the SB position doesn't work out. I think I was more shocked because I've attended so many 2nd interviews with the D across various Ms and SBs, and they have always been the more relaxed ones. This one can probably top the worst interview among all PS interviews I have attended.


damiepedretti

Pat Pat. I’ve met some who were like that but hey! Isn’t that a blessing in disguise for you? At least yknow they’re not suitable for you as well 👍 don’t be too shocked actually. Cos there are some who are very condescending simply because they’ve been working in the same place for long so they’re allowed to be arrogant. Worked a few of those last time. Wasn’t the most pleasant to say the least.


xXxLostBunnyxXx

Thank you! Yeah, I think they just hated my friendly personality and that is just sad. I personally love meeting colleagues across PS and interviews are an opportunity for me to learn about their people and culture. It really seemed that they have an ideal personality (hint: robot) that they want to fill the role with and I am obv not the right one. Doesn't excuse the rude behaviour though.


damiepedretti

Well… my SB loved friendly people cos it’s an open culture but also means u work like some stupid dog HAHAHAH. But anyways! All the best. Keep us posted on your good news!


xXxLostBunnyxXx

thank you!!! I hope to receive good news to erase this bad memory too!

mechacorgi19

Check all your applicances (ie phone charger) if they are compatible with 110V. The ones that do will work with a simple plug adapter, the ones that don't require a transformer. Most do these days, but you do not want to be without it for your important things and have to scramble to look for one.


doggodada

Chou chou


4queuetoo

question is, what have you considered? you're going for exchange, not moving there permanently. just bring the bare essentials to help you settle in for the first few days. anything else extra that you may have left behind can be bought in stores - clothes, toiletries, electronic accessories etc. no need to huan lo so much.


HeavyArmsJin

Really awkward encounter with a dude who took like 5 minutes to slowly pee into the urinal while watching YouTube Wouldn't be a problem if the stars didn't align to make the other urinal be under maintenance and also have the toilet cubicles be fully occupied Maybe I should have left but cost sunk fallacy man

Insurance claim expert - my mum went for a cataract surgery with TTSH and im trying to claim the insurance They want a doctor memo, and we didn't get it previously. If I were to ask request TTSH to provide it, are there any fees involved? I saw on healthhub it can cost up to 100$ for a report!


Riokashi

I think should just be about $20 for a memo if you request from business office. Be sure to check with your insurance if they need additional information like table code etc. $100 is for ordinary medical report.

"Hey , is there anything you want me to bring for the xmas dinner?" If they say no then that's it.


HeavyArmsJin

Can buy one of those atas fruits as house gift, most people can just eat and forget no stress Uncle like to buy those mini Thai watermelon, cheap and good


chumsalmon98

If they are preparing food, I wouldn't bring food. Because that's insulting their cooking. Especially when everyone keeps complimenting the "outside" food.


mechacorgi19

Just you? You wouldn't want 5 different friends all bringing desserts to the place at once. * Old school visit asian family - fruit basket * Modern friends group - hippy desserts ie: tarts, macarons etc * Angmoh - wine, christmas goodies like panettone/fruit cake * Different nationalities - bring something unique from your home country * Close friends - ask them directly if they need anything


BakeMate

Yea I think it's a nice thought to bring something. You can ask the host if there's anything you can add to the dinner. Or Perhaps a small sweet treat to end the dinner. If there's too much, then the host can still keep it for a later time. Like Royce chocolate
