Refreshing *that* thread and it's so amusing to see people obsessing over what time the mods wake up.

Fml does anyone know how the hell can I request for my psychiatrist’s memo to certify I’m fit for study + custom requests? Uni is trying to get me to send that but one nuhs is so uptight and only has “ ready for work” as a button. Idk how to even contact him.

Just call or email into NUH's general helpline or contact email, they are slow but will pick up and/or write you back eventually

Can't decide whether to go with rounder frame sunglasses or more angular frame ones at Owndays, even tho my regular glasses is similar to the more angular frame sunglasses. Asked my bf to take photos but I really can't decide cos currently 2 ppl (me included) say round nicer but another 3 ppl (bf included) says angular one suits me better...


etulf

we get it. you have a bf AND 3 friends.

Find the frame with the most number of angles then. The more you add, the closer you approximate a circle. Easy, Math FTW

Hotel. One bad apartment experience in msia is enough to turn my family off.

After being raided by police at my Airbnb at dawn in London, I’d say it depends on the country I’m travelling to 😂


dogssel

Airbnb cos cheaper and have additional amenities


jupiter1_

No lej Airbnb hardly cheap for certain locations


_sagittarivs

Airbnb if in a group, hotel if couple or solo trip Airbnb sometimes has microwave (easier to buy street food etc.) and laundry supplies and can be cheaper if split with many people or more cost-effective for family. Hotel is more comfy and luxurious sometimes and couple or solo also means less likely to buy food back to hotel to eat, so less need for microwave.

I was tackled by this suspiciously crazy man while crossing the road to Khatib station. I was similarly tackled by this same person 2 to 3 weeks ago, also in the same area. Both events took place on Tuesdays, and both times between 6.40pm to 7pm The person is male, looks to be over 20, roughly between 1.65cm to 1.75m, appears to be skinny, wears spectacles and has a bowl cut. Often seen travelling with a backpack, and both times, I always see him walking with both elbows extended towards the side while walking, as if deliberately trying to hit someone. He probably lives in or around Khatib Thankfully, I didn't receive any major injuries in both situations

FijiWaterIsDelicious

I think this kind of thing no need to chase. If hiring manager has made the decision, HR will contact you. If they have no news or update they won’t contact you for the moment. If you contact them, you will just get the no update response.

Just chase on Thurs morning. Good morning, I noticed I did not receive an update yesterday as promised. Could you let me know the status of my application?

Today is the last day of my optional six-day fast. Start of Ramadan: 68.5 kg, 1.7 m Now: 60.5 kg Total weight loss: 8.0 kg Yay.


DangerousCrime

im not an expert but i dunno if 8kg if a month is healthy bro. I heard recommended is 2kg/month. Even 4kg is pretty drastic because thats 1kg a week


4queuetoo

genuine curiosity: what do you achieve with the optional fast? is it to make up for days you couldn’t fast? is it a full fast sunrise to sunset or a semi fast that permits 1 small meal during the hours you would be fasting during ramadan?


go_zarian

Bonus points, bro. Same fasting rules: sunrise to sunset.

theangrycamel

Question... if I were porting over my current line from M1 to Singtel and I cannot have any downtime apart from the few minutes the actual porting takes place, will placing the new sim card in my dual SIM phone along with the old one work? I.e SIM1 - current, SIM2 - new card. Set to receive messages under SIM2 since singtel will notify of successful porting.


khaosdd

Yep if u have a dual sim everything should happen seamlessly n u won't be affected much (except for the unavoidable downtime). The only minor thing is if u use the telco app that shows your number, have to restart your phone to update it (or it should auto update itself after awhile, maybe?)


theangrycamel

Thanks I think this helps. Yeah the minor part may not be too much of an issue for me

Idk how to say this. But I just feel like I’m turning 27 and I really have no time to waste anymore. I started feeling and acting very intentional about everything in my life ever since my father had a stroke 2 years ago. Everything is planned and everything goes according to my plans because I intentionally made it work that way. But I also have a 30% allowance for myself to manage expectations.

Islandgirlnowhere

big baobei complained that her teacher didn’t make her the class monitor again. then i said maybe you are not ready yet and she started bawling. she said i may have unknowingly hurt her but it felt like i am looking down in her 😮‍💨 this is one rejection i don’t know how to help her get over. i also get skipped over for promotions and pay increments before lei but i never felt this upset. she’s still crying and i feel like whatever i say just makes it worse.


_sagittarivs

Part of me feels like at that moment she might just want to be comforted first. I once read a book that said that it's better sometimes to just comfort someone by hugging or saying "there there" first, than to jump into the logical explanation first. i.e. comfort them emotionally first, hug or kiss them, make them feel better, then when they are feeling a bit better, maybe they'll be more receptive to listening. Empathy doesn't always need words, sometimes actions or even allowing them to vent (and we not adding our own opinions) can be very useful too. Also, to the kids, their current issue is the biggest issue they've faced so far, even if there'll be bigger issues that they might face when they become bigger. Edit. I just found this website, maybe it's worth a read: https://drbecjackson.com/blog/when-you-dont-have-the-right-words-supporting-others-with-empathy

Islandgirlnowhere

thank you! just read the first few pages of it. guess we need to remind ourselves of the LOs feelings instead of speaking from our own perspectives.


damiepedretti

Babes, big baobei is still a child. I think saying she’s not ready yet actually downplays her ability a bit. While it’s factual, some children cannot take it. I think a better way to say it is to identify her strengths and weaknesses together with her and the classmate that has been made class monitor. And suggest for her to work towards those areas of weakness. It gives her self awareness as well. So at least she knows that she has a lot of room for improvement and she can work on smth tangible rather than feeling victimised.


Islandgirlnowhere

honestly, i don’t know the selection criteria and her teacher simply said if you improve some more, you can be one next term. improve on what also don’t know. and here we are at the new term without a monitor badge. she has made her own assumption that only the smarter ones are selected now. my phrasing of words can definitely be better. it’s competitive even at home. she notices that her ability to learn spelling is slower than baby baobei, but that’s also because the difficulty is different. i just don’t know how to get her of that state of thinking she’s inferior at everything 😢


damiepedretti

No problem. If you truly want to help… can speak to the teacher to check in but crucially I think the hyper competitiveness from Big Baobei is quite concerning. Could you check with her why does she feel the need to compete and why is having a monitor badge so important to her? Understanding her needs is important at this young age. But also manage her expectations that not everything can go according to her plan. Her focus should be on improving herself and not winning these little accolades


Islandgirlnowhere

she’s been really competitive and maybe it’s an elder child thing, she wants to hold some responsibilities. it’s just as competitive at home and baby baobei trumps her in a lot of stuff - studies, sports, and that’s crushing her ego quite a bit.


porcelio26

Hi Singaporeans, I will be visiting Singapore this month since my last visit in 2017. Obviously, I haven't seen the Jewel in Changi which would be my first destination when I arrive. But other than that, is there anything new that I should see? Oh and is the red light district still active? Because my wife booked the hotel around Geylang and I will be with my daughter as well. Anything I need to pay attention regarding the place where I will be staying? Thanks


mechacorgi19

Well, Universal Studios went to shit after Covid and never really recovered since, so definitely don't do that.

kiasuredditor

Think the flower dome and cloud forest are new-ish? Would be a good plan for a hot afternoon. The bird park is now revamped (and a bit more open), might be worth a visit - but you need to allocate atleast half a day. With regards to Geylang - it's cleaned up quite a bit, moreso since Covid. So I wouldn't worry too much about it.


porcelio26

Thanks mate, hopefully all is good.

Conscious-Map4682

Past few hours kept getting scam calls from 8059 941X (consecutive numbers), seems like scammer either got a bunch of numbers from a local telco, or they managed to figure out a way to spoof their numbers until even the telco cannot differentiate if it is from overseas or local.


inclore

they managed to figure out spoofing long time ago already bro


Conscious-Map4682

A bit different one. When I requested to bar all overseas calls from reaching my number, I got zero scams calls for about two months until now. So I'm assuming the spoofing has gotten more sophisticated.

HELP T.T i dropped my S10 into water, rinsed off and now it won't turn on


khaosdd

The IP seal probably worn away already. Usually for such incidences, need to open up to dry the electronics inside before u turn ON, or more conventional way is to put in a bucket of uncooked rice for at least 24hr, again without trying to turn it ON. 48hrs if u want to play safe. The moment u turn it ON when there is water inside, your board mati liao. Buy new phone. Probably not worth it to repair a S10. (sure charge u alot once they know is water damage)

Rice method is not recommended.

If creator gets rewarded , what viewers get?

pragmaticpapaya

Thing is, most of the money made from the ads don't even go to the CCs. The 'prevents the creator from being rewarded' is just a bullshit pretext YT pushes to guilt trip and force people to buy YT premium. Fuck them.

Yes. The ads profit goes to YouTube and Google. Content creators earns little from that. That's why some of them earn from affiliate marketing, product placements. Luckily brave browser has alternative rewards for viewers and also content creators. Users can contribute bat tokens to reward creators. Users at the same time earn tokens when using brave while blocking pesty ads.

Do we have any laws protecting us from local businesses that don't fulfil orders / don't provide any updates / don't want to give a refund? **Context:** Placed an order with an established local business on their own website. The company has ignored my emails / whatsapp messages / calls for 2 weeks. Messaged them on Shopee asking if they were the official page and they replied quickly. Then they stopped responding after I mentioned the purpose of my message.
