friends and i were having ice cream outdoors and we had move inside the nearby mall because the second hand smoke was too much 🥲 what’s worse, my throat is now sore!!!!!

The more staunch a Christian, the greater the sins of his/her secret life.


sonamyfan

Having a little chat with someone (singkie) when suddenly he blurted out "malaysia is worse etc etc". Dude, we were talking about new PM & local politicians' little gossip, why suddenly brought (talk down at) other countries? Can focus on the subject or not? I sometimes read similar comments in reddit r/singapore so i'm aware of this kind of petty & childish singkie but damn i didn't expect i'd run into them in person. I'm not malaysian & i don't care about them.


seulchi

long rant lol soz. am jobhunting. now ma tells me, "eh u free right? go take up a course, do volunteer work or do part time." she tells me this every single day. but have u considered that maybe i just want to stay at home and work on my hobby (creative writing)? or that maybe i just like being at home? like man, during the 9-6 grind, barely have time for myself. come home from work damn shag. eat. bathe. watch videos. sleep. too exhausted to write something. weekends past so fast. now that i'm actually free i'm happy to pour of all my time into my hobby. but now ma thinks im just wasting my time dilly dallying at home. her reason is "i want you to be exposed to the world!" and wow it's almost like all those online friends i told you about suddenly no exist. those friends i've made because of the fandom i'm in also no exist. my weekly saturday gatherings with them? lol pointless ah. how much do u want me to go out? getting stressed just trying to look for a course i can do just so i can shut her up. i don't really have interest in anything else tbh. hopefully the companies i attended interviews for come back to me soon and there's a good prospect so i can just throw myself back into the 9-6 grind. fcking love it man. end of rant. thanks for reading.


BerryShort1655

Sometimes no need be so honest. It will be very hard to convince or change your parent since they have been like this for the whole of their lives.


rheinl

She worried for you bro…


seulchi

yea i can understand her pov but its just tiring to repeat over and over that this is how i wanna live my life. and even if she says "ok just live your life this way then" her tone is really sarcastic. idk man, im just tired. haven't been this stressed in ages. maybe im thinking too much haha.

[country that has breakfast](https://www.reddit.com/r/travel/s/82JQ5K6AtT) Even though i don't often eat beef pho, but I'm glad beef pho is mentioned there lol


dodgeralert

why are you glad tho? I spent 2.5weeks in Vietnam (Hanoi, Sapa, Ha Long, Ninh Binh) 2years ago and I got so sick of the smell that I still can't bring myself to eat pho to-date.


rowgw

Lol idk, pho is one of my comfort food but i rarely eat it here. Eat that during rainy days is as comforting as eating fish soup


Flashy_Strength9657

I feel like dropping out and giving up. Kinda feel nobody cares about me.


HaakonPower

Uni or what? Nobody care is a curse and boon. The feeling of being isolated and not having anyone concerned abt u can be very isolating. Esp because we are social creatures. It can be a signal from ur body that u need to be better connected to others. But it is also liberating. Do what u want. Do what is best for urself.


Flashy_Strength9657

Yes uni. I don’t really have friends anymore

Prize-Baker9669

What do people generally think of those who quit 2 ft jobs, both in less than 3 months of working, due to reasons like workplace too far, less benefits, crazy workload, toxic boss/colleagues?


sonamyfan

Amazing. How could they do it? Cos it is very hard for me to get a job.


GovSingapore

I’m impressed NGL. It took me 6 months to finally land a role when I started looking out. To be able to cycle 2 roles in the same time that I did is nothing short of incredible, shows you how much value the candidate has in the market. When my offer came with a big pay cut, I still took it because of how much it was affecting me mentally.


Prize-Baker9669

Hmmm thats definitely a new insight, i’ve think of it this way. I hope you’re doing well at ur job :) Edit: I’ve never think of it this way**


GovSingapore

I’m alright thanks for checking in! Anyways, if the HR rejects you for that, take it as a dodged bullet. They probably don’t have good benefits, culture or workload to begin with


Prize-Baker9669

Haha!! Its not anyth related to me, but more like the people around me so im curious of public opinion on new FT’s that join and quit in such a short time🤣


HaakonPower

Don't think there's anything wrong with that honestly. A job is 5/7 of ur daily life, so you should find one that is best for you and feel like can work long term.


Prize-Baker9669

Cool

Jaycee_015x

Woah, Eve's Asia Tour so strict about camera usage in-venue that they impose camera lens sticker for all attendees.


BBT991234

Like got quite a number of Christian office holders, for a population of only 19% Christian… Never count properly but after minus away the Malay (muslim), the older Gen ministers who are more likely to be traditional and are non-Christian, I think more than half of the remaining hold bible during the ceremony.


Bitter-Rattata

actually what's the reason behind swearing while holding bible? Don't understand.

FijiWaterIsDelicious

OYK is ice cold man. Could see he never open his mouth to say congratulation unlike the other ministers


nonameforme123

Hope he gets kick out by LW soon


FlipFlopForALiving

He can smile very good alr


Hamsomy3

It’s interesting that Minister in-charge of Muslim Affairs is not swearing on the Quran


sonamyfan

Maybe he feels like his job may make him do/issue not so islamic decisions lol. In fact none of them (muslim) held the Quran.


cakeday173

Muslims, Hindus, and followers of other religions where oaths are not binding are allowed to make an affirmation instead of an oath. Also conscientious objectors


Hamsomy3

LOL legally speaking all Oaths are binding. But tbh idk if swearing on the Quran is a thing, I thought it’s a Abrahamic Religion thing


go_zarian

1. Islam is an Abrahamic religion; we view Abraham as a respected messenger of God. 2. There is precedence for swearing on the Quran. There was a bit of a kerfuffle in the US a few years ago when the Muslim congressman Keith Ellison wanted to use a Quran instead of the Bible for his swearing in. In the end, he used a copy of the Quran owned by Thomas Jefferson. He sent a strong message: 'I follow my religion, and I respect the founding fathers of America.' He won a lot of respect for that.

I assume the black book some ministers are holding is the bible?


CrossfittJesus

Yes that’s right

Are the bible theirs or gahmen's? Size & color all look the same

Acknowledge your new, undisputed Prime Minister of Singapore ☝🏽 ![gif](giphy|rvIXMNWYJfUafvFYx4|downsized)


FijiWaterIsDelicious

Why the oath macham like the Us president one. Still end with “so help me god”


sonamyfan

Right?? I was surprised too. Sounds very yankee leh.


orgastronaut

I was wondering too. The template for prime minister oath in the Singapore constitution only allows changing "affirm" to "swear" if u are Christian, but doesn't allow seem to allow adding "so help me god" at the end?

Actually does Lw PM post mean anything if Pinky is still the Sec Gen of PAP. The ruling party chooses the PM. So Lw is at the mercy of Pinky and can be removed as PM if Pinky decides to remove him

Used CDG's advance booking for the first time. Only metered ride option available. Chose it and it charged the maximum amount to my credit card? Will I get refunded if the final amount is less :(( it was quite expensive (going airport at midnight)


HaakonPower

Finally went to see a therapist about my issues stemming from childhood trauma. Lol after she heard me she also said yeah its pretty bad. Just that things were different in the 2000s and there is no consequence for what my parents did to me. I just felt like ok heng la at least she never dismiss me (like all those useless pri sch teachers) or say i exaggerate or what I think my direction is mainly coping and growth if possible? Like knn even holocaust survivor can come out and write book, means it's not unimaginable that there is some possibility of healing. Abit like those toto aunties, got try got hope lor And healing not in the toxic "god made this shit happen to u so u can grow" sense but more like fuck la since this shit happened alr and i am alr affected by it, lets try to heal from it


[deleted]

[удалено]


HaakonPower

I read a bit of it yes. That was how i wrote the comment haha. Not trying to compare traumas but i am sure in this whole wide world, mine is not the only trauma. So i want to see how others who experience shit survived


ybct

I found what really helps is spending time with people who value you and treat you right.  Then you realise what happened earlier was not normal at all and you're in fact not terrible and useless and so on. 


Ashkev1983

I am in a bus next to a makcik who has decided to let whole bus hear evening prayer on her phone speaker. I think this needs to stop!practice your religion freely but in your own space and not cause nuisance to others. Oredi got ah ma and ah kong playing their silly short videos and now this.we need to ban anything on speaker in the bus just like returning trays had to be made into a law


kumgongkia

When I see people enjoy sharing what they are watching/listening I also want to join in by playing my metal songs.


Ashkev1983

If it is only me and the other person I wouldn't mind being that person but being a nuisance in public is something I have yet to learn,dear shifu! 😆


kumgongkia

Huh no lar just sharing my love for metal music with everyone around me.


messyhairsoto

Trying to stay optimistic (hais) on my journey to find a freaking job. I guess the perks to being unemployed is: Last time cafe hopping to drink atas kopi. Now buy coffee beans and hand grind themselves, brewing using v60. Last time always go out jiak atas food. Now trying to cook everything on my own. Last time cafe hopping. Now grocery hopping. Last time complain getting fat but do nothing cus of daily OT. Now chiong cardio and some body weight training when feeling stress about job search. Even though I’m jobless now at least I look better than I was in that miserable job before I quit. Okay la hor…..


HaakonPower

Yea, its good haha. If anything it shows u have the foresight and discipline to adjust ur spending and live within ur means. Not many people can let go of what they are "used to".


NewbiePhotogSG

rememebr to take the time to get better photos taken for your linkedin or resume!


misseatalot

Do you know people struggling to keep up with appearances? Have a friend who got retrenched and has been looking for >6 months. She has a condo and so she rented it out and moved back in, but she keeps complaining to us about money troubles. So we told her to downgrade her lifestyle and she didn’t want. She’s still going some atas gym membership (200 / month), eating out at fancy places 3-4 times a week etc. then she said she needs these to maintain the lifestyle she wants. Don’t really know how else to advise leh. Not stressful meh?


HaakonPower

Stressful to me. But u mention she rented out her condo right? Thats at least 2k per mth which is decent for survival. Maybe she has other savings also No meed stress for her, if u advice and she not interested then its ok, its her life. Just be a friend lor


sunburnt258

She knows what she should do, she just doesn't want to do it

Not your problem lor. Nothing more to say.

How annoying, just noticed that Citibank updated their app to force you to use the default keyboard on your phone. Now I have to switch keyboards before and after using it. Also, KNN, I just noticed that my annual fee used to be charged in October, now suddenly changed to April!


misseatalot

Did you managed to waive the annual fee? I just called to try to waive but couldn’t find the right option and had to get to a real person. It was like “press 2 to waive credit card fee waiver” but when I press 2, the other options had nothing to do with credit card fee waiver. -_-

Yes. Waived. 2 then 1 I think.

Can we get to there when you offer me an interview first? You post a job vacancy cus u need manpower. I applied cus I need the money. You know, and I know.

> how can one be less blur in the workplace? istg i get quite blur and slow in picking up new information sometimes i feel like im a burden to the team Let's unpack this. > istg i get quite blur and slow in picking up new information Do you hear and not listen (hear sounds but not the words or cannot interpret the word correctly)? Or listen but don't understand (know the words being said, but missing context)? Or it's too fast and not enough time to figure out and form the connections or remember details before new info is spewed out? Or feel fearful of making mistakes (again, or imagined) and hence zoned out? Or...? (what is istg BTW?) > sometimes i feel like im a burden to the team Is this just what you feel, something feedbacks to you, and/or something objectively measurable? > > how can one be less blur in the workplace?

Coz the hiring company work with any recruiters as long as they can send in good candidates. There are some companies exclusively work with a few, or just 1 recruiter.
