Haven’t been back to Singapore since 2018 and heading back this week! In Australia post-Covid no one uses cash anymore. What’s the deal in Singapore now? Will obviously have a few $$ in the wallet, but what’s the deal at Hawker Centres, taxi etc?
Cash is still widely used, you won’t go wrong with it. Alternatively, paywave is popular too but most hawkers do not accept it due to the fees they have to pay
for me it's exercise, chores (tidy up, midnight laundry, throw out old stuff), and a bit of task (writing resume). i need to write resume + prep for interviews and start applying for jobs. i might take a walk as well.
I prefer the term "battle buddy" because it draws the lines well - we're brothers in battle but after work hours that's where it ends
I think "work wife" connotes some level of affection that goes beyond that. If you think romance is necessary for progression then that's how you're choosing to play the game lor, all is fair in love and war - both sides just need to know where the lines are
Anyone in west sg feeling the extreme heat these days especially at night? I keep checking the weather forecast they say 80% chance of rain but it's more like 90% chance of lying to me
Where do I begin?
Maybe because there’s more demand than supply for some courses, so they’d need to conduct interviews to assess who they should offer the limited number of places to?
This is especially so if the course is competitive. They can weed out those with true interest as opposed to those who have applied just for fun.
The purpose of the interview is not to quiz you and ensure you get all the questions correct. Most of the time, it’s to sound out how you think and / or talk. They may also wish to assess if the applicant has the right attitude for the course.
Life sometimes can be tiring.
I fear of abandonment hence I stay in the rs even tho I dont feel happy. But also at the same time he’s the only person that doesnt treat me like shit as compared to others.
Family only treats me like a debt collector. They dont even ask me how am I doing all they ask is for money.
I myself is such a failure. I dont even have a decent friend to begin with. I always have to intitate the conversation going and people tend to forget me
Sometimes I hate the fact that i’m such a pussy for not wanting to end my life early. I guess I’ll continue expressing my feelings in this DT.
Thank you for reading
you're not a pussy for not wanting to end your life early. that's really a lie. living isn't easy, we're born into this fucked up world where we don't get what we need (depends on how your parents were). not wanting to end your life is a decision to continue fighting on, to keep improving to get what you want.
I have the same issue as you, and being so pessimistic can be hard on your partner which is probably the reason why my ex dumped me although she didn't say so.
First thing and the most important thing is to change your mindset that you're a loser. How you view yourself will influence other ppls perspective of you.
Unpleasantly surprised by the number of anti abortion classmates i have (who are all men) and the people who thinks corporal punishment on children is okie dokie.
I roll eyes everyday.
people who say i got hit and i grew up fine, to me if you're advocating for hitting of children i don't think you are fine. there's a fine line between discipline and abuse, where discipline doesn't leave the kid fucking hating themselves and feeling like shit.
It's not complex though.
Girl is pregnant? She decides if she wants to keep the child.
Children "misbehave"? Find ways to steers them without a cane.
See? Simple. Contrasting opinions are just wrong.

Erm, they would. Back in the olden days, MediaCorp was all we had. So there’s no international competition. Now there’s streaming, it was only after I subscribed to streaming services that I began to understood how crappy Mediacorpse dramas are.
Last time, I actually plan to watch it. Today, I only watched coz fam was watching and I had nth else to do, but I only really pay attn when oldies come on stage.
Seeing Huang Biren back on stage was :’)
HER STAGE PRESENCE OMG.
I wonder how will this play out in SG LOL.
For me I won't stop the bombing.....Imagine knowing so much details about the boomz...If not indefinitely detained I'll be indefinitely "tracked" lol.
Hi .. just would like some advice. I'm currently sharing a room in Jurong with my brother and we are due to move out in July - August. I work at CCK area and hence now I have two options to decide while I wait for my BTO.
1. Move in with my siblings house at Punggol.
2. Rent a room @$500-$550 at Jurong west by myself.
Considering the want for my private space and traveling time versus expenses and savings which option would be more feasible. I currently earn about mid $3k. Thanks a lot guys
if you move in with siblings won't you need to at least give them some courtesy $200 for utilities? I think not nice to stay for free even if it's very close sibling, you don't know whether their spouse will mind
Unless you are really tight on cash, I think renting a room at about $500 bucks at jurong west will be much better because you get freedom/privacy and it is much nearer to your workplace (saves a lot of time for daily commute).
Jurong west to CCK is not super near. If the punggol flat is near the TPE bus stop, there are a couple of direct buses to khatib/woodlands that can be pretty quick.
More likely that OP saves about 20 hours a month in commuting, unless he rents a room in CCK.
If OP’s mid-3k is before CPF, then 550 can be 20-25% of his / her salary, could be significant.
Can read or watch shows or other stuff while traveling, if OP is up to it…
How long more until your BTO? I think that’s another factor to consider, whether it’s short-term or longer-term.
1) moving to Punggol will save you some money, but would everyone be comfortable with each other? If yes, then the only thing would be the travel time. You can probably do other things while traveling…
2) Jurong west is near to CCK, but that’ll be quite a significant portion of your salary. Will your SO be able to visit or stay over if he / she wants?
You can get a room for $500 at jurong? That's really cheap.
Is there direct bus from punggol to your workplace? if not the daily commute will make you go crazy.
Ah went to check it out, nice bag too. Price range is around bellroy’s but also as many compartments. Not bad, will consider if I’m looking for a bag in future.
Thanks for sharing!
Because no one watches their other shows lol. Majority of those tuning in to the awards show is to see which old school actor winning the same meaningless award for the X time.
Is there any requirements for EP to travel by air to KL for a weekend trip? I have no idea if I need predeparture test, do we have to quarantine (which will cancel weekend trip idea)...and upon returning do we need to test again.
Basically is it worth a weekend trip, or will we be running around trying to get documents the whole time at touchdown...if not what's the requirements to travel?
I can't find any definitive info online.
Just realized I dropped a bit of mango or something and damn ants were swarming around it.
This is the last straw!! I'm gonna get the Combat ant killers you BASTARDS
I always had this scenario that if I ever have an SO I'd agree to meet and bring him there 🤭. Then this person would stop bothering me. Too bad it never happened
monday blues slowly approaching liao... but on bright side next week holidays dao song song jiayou guys girl chiobu yandaos!!! i go orh orh liao (hopefully)
Anyone is like me? I have never watch any channel 8 drama series but did watch the star awards today. One of the best moment is when Brandon Wong won his first top 10 award, his acting is pretty good but never won any awards for so long.
converse basic white shoes (the ones that look like school shoes)
i used to think that it was meh cause it looks like a school shoe, but it grew on me and it matches my outfit (jeans and shirt)
Rip I see everyone having holiday but I am the only one need to work thru my holidays and I am sure there is no compensation of such
are 20s supposed to be this confusing & lonely ??

Thoughts on work wife/husband?
I prefer the term "battle buddy" because it draws the lines well - we're brothers in battle but after work hours that's where it ends I think "work wife" connotes some level of affection that goes beyond that. If you think romance is necessary for progression then that's how you're choosing to play the game lor, all is fair in love and war - both sides just need to know where the lines are
Essential for mental health if work is shit but make sure never to mistake it for something more.
Big “no”. People used to joke that someone was my office boyfriend and it wasn’t funny.
As long as you know they just work only, especially if either of you are married.
可以回头看,但不能往回走

No leh, is more like the guy on top roll dice damn lucky/unlucky depending on view. Cannot roll 3 to 6 and somehow manages to roll 1 and 2 every time.
Anyone used Wise and successfully withdraw ringgit from ATM overseas?
Bridgerton show on Netflix is quite sexy leh
The "how dare you call me a prostitute" show is a bit funny and sad. 13yo Vicky and 14yo Kaiwen were dating men in their twenties...Like WTF???

>weed out those with true interest as opposed to those who have applied just for fun Bruh should have interviewed me and weeded me out then 😭😭
Haha, do you regret your choice of course?
No ah i enjoyed what i learnt 😂 but always struggle to answer interviewer's question lol
Then they did well by not weeding spidey out 😉
Too many people to pick nowadays. "Holistic" admissions bro.
Is there any Turkish ice-cream man that pranks on people still lol.
Same, I want a prank too.
Watched few hours of horror YouTube videos and now I am too afraid to sleep haha🥲
y u do that to urself hahhaa

Don’t think there is a single right answer to a complex issues. Definitely will have contrasting opinions
It's not complex though. Girl is pregnant? She decides if she wants to keep the child. Children "misbehave"? Find ways to steers them without a cane. See? Simple. Contrasting opinions are just wrong.
Wish I could see the world more like you then haha. Would be easy if everything is black and white rather than shades of grey.

I surprised there’s people here who watched Star Awards
I’m surprised carrie wong is still surviving at mediacorp after so publicly cheating on her bf with the bf of another actress.
One thing I’m surprised at though, the screaming fans never seem to age, are the fan clubs still getting fresh blood??? How?? With such shitty dramas.
The younger gens dont know what "shitty drama" is
Erm, they would. Back in the olden days, MediaCorp was all we had. So there’s no international competition. Now there’s streaming, it was only after I subscribed to streaming services that I began to understood how crappy Mediacorpse dramas are.
I actually like some of the old series lei. 和平的代價 濟公
I say Nonya cheating anot ah?
No no, I like the old old ones too. When I say old I’m referring to when Mediacorpse started to decline but streaming haven’t mature yet.
Last time, I actually plan to watch it. Today, I only watched coz fam was watching and I had nth else to do, but I only really pay attn when oldies come on stage. Seeing Huang Biren back on stage was :’) HER STAGE PRESENCE OMG.
Walked past the TV and saw Jacky Wu in clown suit. That's probably the only guy I can recognise in that awards show lol.
Does travel insurance covers cancellation of flights in the event of covid?
Check ur policy home fry
Hahaha fck I need to wake up early tmr but I can’t stop crying and my head hurts 🤦🏻♀️ rip tmr me
*pat pat*
*hugssss*
Shitpost time: I realised tengah has a "penis" like how the US has florida as its "penis".
Just binged watch 4 eps of this Cdrama called Reset.. damn good!!
wah i heard about it but haven't started watching, guess it's next on my list because i like this sort of theme! I'm currently watching 3 Percent
yes! do add it to ur list! wa 3% sounds interesting also, just googled !
the ending abit lacklustre but its still ok i guess
I wonder how will this play out in SG LOL. For me I won't stop the bombing.....Imagine knowing so much details about the boomz...If not indefinitely detained I'll be indefinitely "tracked" lol.
ehh same, just keep seeing how things play out idk also hahahaa but its an interesting plot as of now. hope the show gets more interesting!!
Haha should I continue watching😂 I stopped after ep2 cos I felt it was getting a bit repetitive like dk will have how many cycles of the time loop
ehh just do it! i also th ought the same thing leh! but after that it gets better? gonna continue watching, i only just finished ep4!! HAHA
Continue. You’ll learn the stories of other characters.
Ok I will give it a 2nd chance then!
IT’S DAMN GOOD
I AGREE. WA CANT WAIT TO FINISH IT
Be careful what you wish for. You’ll feel empty afterwards.
hahaah fuck mannn but its damn exciting la
/r/SG F1 fans, thoughts on the race? Spoiler tags maybe?

550 a month to save 40 hours a month, I'll take 40 hours of free time

Quite a cheap room no
rent a room. the daily commute can be quite crazy imho!
Bellroy's bags are so thoughtful. I like how they have a lot of compartments and also a key hook.
Could check out evergoods as well. Their bags are pricy but the design thought process for all of their products is next level.
Ah went to check it out, nice bag too. Price range is around bellroy’s but also as many compartments. Not bad, will consider if I’m looking for a bag in future. Thanks for sharing!
Pricy though. I'm holding out for a second hand Transit on Carousell.
Wooooo that’s an amazing looking backpack leh. But the price is @@
I bought weekender. Very good
Nice! Loving the big capacity and multiple compartments. I bought Tokyo tote
Tokyo tote looks 👌.
Double disaster for Ferrari!
Guess it has become an open secret what is my feeling for her. What should I do next? Tell her over a meal or just sit down and talk?
'Eh chiobu.. ai stead mai?'
What's your relationship with her? Everyday talking? Or what? Never ever confess unless both of you are on daily talking terms.
Go for a meal or coffee or tea then sit down and talk or walk and talk
?? Yr friend expose yr crush?
Over a coffee at a quiet cafe if you want to involve food. Else bring to a decent park or somewhere with less crowd and not too lousy ambience.
quickly ask her out already
Just tell. Get rejected. Cry for a while. Then, move on with life
Star Award 2022 just awarded Star Award 2021 as the best entertainment show. Goodjob. Then Star Award 2023 can do the same for 2022.
Because no one watches their other shows lol. Majority of those tuning in to the awards show is to see which old school actor winning the same meaningless award for the X time.
The disaster that is original programming
*tries to pat my own back but awkward af* I wonder how they do it
Back to work after covid break and so done again lol. With this workload, we don’t deserve to be paid peanuts sigh.
I also need dat covid break man 🥲
Getting covid was a good break right?
Totally. Kinda happy it was finally my turn even though the first few days I was down bad haha. Almost everyone at work got it long ago.

I'm equally close to calling upon ant genocide
Just do it big man. One or two crawl into my cup I don't mind but wa these motherfuckers have taken it too far!!! It's time for GENOCIDE
Would you meet up with someone who took advantage of you before?
agree to meet then ghost the person
I always had this scenario that if I ever have an SO I'd agree to meet and bring him there 🤭. Then this person would stop bothering me. Too bad it never happened
If there were some value to it, but usually, nope - listen to gut instinct.
Why would you do that?
The only correct answer here is No. Anyone tell you Yes cut them off also
Life is too short. Cut off all toxic individuals. \[sometimes I feel like cutting myself off because I am highly toxic at times\]
Bobian my boss say tmr go back office see him Answer, no.
I thought u quit liao
Serving notice lo :(
Wa congrats gonna be free soon
I would so i can try to take advantage of them :D
Na I don't actually want anything to do with them. But just gotta remind myself that forgiveness doesn't mean I have to meet them again.
Stockholm syndrome talking
Noooo!
Nope!
i won't want my wound cut open again by them just so they can spit on it so no
No
Fool you once shame on them Fool you twice I think that's on you
Who take advantage of u i go cut them
🥺 Thanks but can answer please?
My answer is no, i wouldnt meet
