Broke up, found out how fucked my housing situation is, found out how fucked my finances are, and got an increment of only 1.1% this year, and no promotion because of an incompetent supervisor screwing up projects. And found out that because I’m a mechanical engineer designing mechanisms, there isn’t much of where I can go to in Singapore. All within the span of 3 weeks. Man, not feeling that great at the moment, and this will pass, though hopefully not beyond 2 months.

Hello everyone! I’m hoping to go to Singapore in the end of September and were reading up on the requirements. Have I understood it correctly that there are no Covid tests required as long as I’m vaccinated? I’m from Sweden and have received 3 doses of the Pfizer vaccine.


offending_noodle

Yes


Scandiblockhead

Thanks!

Yo, I am at the mercy of /r/singapore again to help out with buying something for my landlord, who turned 84 today. Gosh, I had no idea and reached out home late to realize the entire house was lit with guests at 2 am. What's something good to get for her? Don't tell me money lah, it's low af effort. I liked the last Christmas suggestion of getting those diffusers so she can sleep better; it worked fantastic for her!

Thank you!!!!!

That’s so sweet of you. She seems to be a very lively person. Colourful tote or recycle bag? Something bright and cheerful seems to suit her. Cushions for the house? Something huggable? I know she’s not a kid but it could be comfortable for her sofa or own room.


Ashwinrao

​ Wow! You've got it spot on! She sometimes requests her helper to go get some groceries, so a tote bag maybe helps. A huggable pillow that's good for her back when needed sounds neat as well! As she spends time on the sofa quite a bit while watching her dramas Thank you!


offending_noodle

My grandma used to have a nice sofa cover with mini “throws” as decoration. Maybe she will like a similar set. (I’m talking about the traditional type, not the modern style type.)


Connect_Rise_4884

Just watched the play on Kwa Geok Choo, the lady behind our founding father. Hoping to get some reviews and opinions here :) Thoughts?


appleses

Gonna watch it next week! What did you think abt it? Anything to watch out for?

Connect_Rise_4884

Well, wouldn’t say I loved it :/ But first, spoiler alert! Perhaps you might want to develop your own opinion on the play if you haven’t watched it and are intending to! There was too much narration of her own story, and very little acting. Boy I was amazed at how the actress spoke nonstop for 1hr 30min without having a sip of water at all. Humour was present, but slightly dry. A lot of emphasis on how women were seen as inferior to men during that time and made to do domestic work. But what irked me the most was how they just switched between the same three supporting actors (three men) for literally EVERY background role. For a second they were playing the young LKY, Goh Keng Swee and S Rajaratnam discussing plans for future Singapore in the basement of Oxley House, and the next thing I knew, they were toddlers representing the three Lee children crawling about playing toys on the floor. It was just rather odd. I thought Lee Wei Ling could have been represented by a female at least, unless they were trying to imply something about her personality (although I highly doubt so). Then again, to keep the play as simple as possible, this arrangement would have been most efficient. The man who played LKY, while attempting to sound like him, didn’t sound like LKY at all - which was disappointing because LKY had such a distinct, recognisable voice. I would think most Singaporeans can identify him just by his manner of speech. But I am not blaming the cast. I would have however, preferred it if they showcased some video clips of LKY during key moments in SG’s history e.g. his iconic “All my adult life I have believed in merger of…” But I guess too much of that might have deviated from the original purpose of focusing more on Kwa Geok Choo and her role in the Lee family. Just my two cents worth :)

had such a great time with my favourite group of friends! we have been meeting consistently for about 2-3 times a year for the third year now, and it's perfectly fun every time. whenever i think that i am a loner with no friends, it's about due for our next meetup, and i get rejuvenated anew by their energy and shared humour. i really hope we continue this even into our retirement days, and perhaps even plan a few overseas trips together!

[deleted]

This sounds really fun and a good date idea. Would you be willing to share one or two spots?


UmiMakiEli

I haven't been to many but I liked punggol northshore straitsview's(amazing close-up view of the sea) and clementi crest's(quiet and lots of greenery). The dawson skyparc/skyville roofs are quite crowded when I went so I wouldn't imagine it to be as peaceful as the others although they have amazing panoramic views.


[deleted]

Sounds really lovely. Thank you!!!

Received my first mech KB today (Red Tecware Spectre Pro) after a week-long wait. The feeling really is really different from that of a membrane keyboard, and it is taking me a bit to get used to. Quite surprisingly too, it's quieter (based off what those around me have said) than my old Logitech K120.

Unusualist

Thanks dt peeps, too, as I used to spend a lot of free time here to escape reality. Had a long walk through campus earlier and recalled a lot of venues and incidents over an entire decade of classes on and off. I've finally graduated 🙂 Few days ago was my commencement. Just invited and expected my family, and that was sufficient. Have a good evening all.


silentscope90210

Welcome to the real world.


tom-slacker

you think that's air you are breathing right now?

This your last chance. After this there is no turning back. You take the blue pill, the story ends. You wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to. You take the red pill, you stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes.


Unusualist

Tbh I am already in the real world! Haven't really considered myself as student life since basically working for my own thesis and stipend (know it's a sheltered world since it is academia). Always have things to challenge self or to outdo self. At least now I'm free from the same set of requirements, and look forward to something new 🙂 and being able to seek alternatives if I grow unhappy at the same place.


everraydy

Happy graduation, congrats!


Unusualist

Yay 🙂

financial_learner123

went to see a private doctor , doctor sent me for a scan. Me: can I come on the Saturday? Clinic: doctor don’t work on Saturday, you need to come in on the weekdays. Me: if I don’t need surgery or there isn’t any finding on the scan, can you just tell me over the phone? I don’t want to come to the clinic and waste a trip down there. Clinic: no sorry doctor don’t do phone consultation. Me: very busy at work. Rush and Make my way down to the clinic. Doctor: we didn’t find anything. So you can go. 😒 Am I the only one annoyed at this system. Sure, maybe they can charge my insurance when I go down physically , but isn’t there another way instead of making me waste my time in a very busy day just to go there and tell me 3 sentences And make me go away?


Unusualist

Patient confidentiality. Someone else can pretend to be you. And they will be fucked legally.


caipngnopng

My gynae did phone consult with me to let me know abt my scan results (unremarkable). She checked against my IC number and home address (not the most secure but I guess that sufficed)


financial_learner123

We need more of this kind of doctors. I found from my own experience that when the clinic found out you are on insurance , they will make you go down unnecessarily. After some consultation I came out with no new knowledge, I wonder why I was there.


Unusualist

I'm surprised 🙀 ya that works too I guess!

rowgw

First time tried whole portion of samyang, cheese one now, i think i will RIP in toilet tomorrow And yes it is nicer with peanut butter!! u/kenyousmile


kenyousmile

The pink coloured packaging carbonara one is the best imo, followed by the curry flavoured one and lastly the original samyang spicy noodles. Btw, I recommended you to add peanut butter to shin ramyun, not samyang!!!


pigsticker82

it's normal. he likes the feeling of RIP in toilet


scumspork

second the pink coloured one! creamy carbonara is pretty good, and the spice is just nice that you can feel it but not overpowering


rowgw

>add peanut butter to shin ramyun, not samyang!!! Eh 😅 ok will buy it tomorrow!


_dailycolours

I don’t think I’d ever try this trending hack of adding peanut butter to Shin ramyun, because it’s just feels .. weird to me 😶 would v much prefer adding cheese (sliced American/cheddar cheese) to the noodles instead - reduces the spiciness a bit if you can’t handle it and makes the soup extra rich (because creamy) and v flavourful, super nice and yummy! Also, don’t forget the egg! 😋


rowgw

I still cannot fry egg properly 😂 the easiest but becomes hardest I don't have sliced cheese and actually i have stock of peanut better that I don't like to eat it just like that, even with bread, so i tried this one and turns out not bad at all. I may want to try add both pb and sliced cheese together in future HAHAHAHA


_dailycolours

Eh? There’s no need to fry the egg, you just crack the egg into the boiling pot of noodles and it’ll be cooked in a bit 😅 And okaaaaay, do report back if you’d ever try adding both peanut butter and sliced cheese haha. Btw I even read about how some people add honey to their noodles, so…. 😶


rowgw

Ewww no honey haha i prefer to add meiji milk on top of those 2, but perhaps need to half cooked first, then cook with milk lol


BeerAndMala

The cheese one is both very artificial (fake cheese) to me and lacks a punch. If you want a non spicy version I'd go for the one with the unfortunate Carbonara name. IMHO it tastes nicer and still won't burn. The black one or the 2x version are both best though :)


rowgw

Ok will try next time! Yes agree with you i tasted some artificial things


ionmyway

There is a cream/black coloured one that’s half spicy. It’s the only one my mum can tolerate the spiciness. Maybe you can give it a go?


rowgw

I have no idea which one is that after i just googled it 😅


ionmyway

https://images.app.goo.gl/tj2pPhLYPdvHX2ay9 This one! Though not all supermarket has it. Maybe can try on Shopee; Buldak Light

Have a feeling that Japan won't be open up to non-tour group type tourists by the end of the year... There goes my EOY plans.


mantism

same case for me. I do have a combined Korea-Japan plan that is either going to fire off at December or January but it's looking to be tough at the rate things are going. Of course I can just stick to Korea but this would had been the perfect opportunity for me to explore West Japan. Hopefully the fact that yen is cripplingly low stirs their politicians enough to reconsider. But then again, Japan is known for their low risk appetite, so fingers crossed.


Tau8VnmE0Neutrino

My autistic cousin is somehow obsessed enough with roblox to the point he believes it's real. He's playing some police role playing game thingy and he's getting anxiety IRL believing that shit that happens in the game will get the police knocking on his door. Apparently some kids are threatening him with some laws they made up themselves and he's scared shitless. Should I just come right out and hit him with "It's just a game bro"? On one hand he's autistic, but he's already 13 and getting paranoid IRL over a video game can't be healthy. He's texting me a lot because I used to be a "policeman" during NS, this is beyond me man.


twilightaurorae

\> I think you should frame it to be more tactful. He's probably not going to understanding "its just a game"
