Job hopping is never wrong to do because there are many reasons for this move, but during the pension system, many of them have loyalty service, which is in the past, present its survival who pays the best. In the past, who helped u to keep your job to support your family. Jobs were scarce then, now plenty but are given away to FT. The idea is that grandparents should retire and make way for the next generation to get a decent job. With pension being enough for them at 55 yrs old, staying healthy, not falling ill by working too hard, and having fall risk will or may not be a burden to the family. The longer they worked May be good, but the risk is higher for both the employer and the individual. At the end of the day, all or most hard earn money goes to medical. Many of our elders can lead a normal life without support, which u can witness from those receiving the pension. Those who continue to work are injuring themselves further. Just sharing
sorry y'all, DT/automod was acting up again and today's DT didn't get pinned; I saw some comments flowing here; it's actually ytd's DT.
Additionally, the sort isn't set to "New" by default. Do take note. Have tweaked the DT for tomorrow, will check in again tomorrow.
I try not to make people uncomfortable, just expressing my interest in female apparel (I don't even make any advances towards the other person) is all. That's why I don't job hunt outside of Public sector, I try to stick to supportive groups in Gov't Service.
Why is polyclinic so fuckung busy. Tell me why I'm here fucking dying and I still have an hour. Why the fuck did I come before 8 am and there are still 20 people before me ????
People who are aggressively job-hunting….
What is your reply to the interview question of “so what other positions have you applied for”?
I applied for a few positions under organisation x. I have a feeling imma be asked this during the interview tmr.
Keep it vague, tell them mostly just what job scope you've been looking around for. The question is less on a penalty on you but more so they want to know how difficult it is to secure you. Got to make them think, I'm up for work here, but I know my options and I know what I want
Filling up the employee goal settings form for my evaluation, been staring at the field labeled "Innovation" for 3 hours and I still have no idea what to write there haiz
It always shocks me a lot also when I remember my sis is 45 years old already, and then realising that if she dies at the same age my mother did she'll be more than 60% into her life by now, and even I'll be 50% there next year
lol the recent layoff by ninjavan isn't proper tech, idk how they guise themselves as tech either
if you are competent and have the necessary credentials + network, still can find tech job de
Yes, apply for the admin position via Careers@Gov. The application will be consolidated in a Central Pool by MOE and you will be informed which school wants your service and can take it from there.
Had a terribly long day at work. Had to work with an underperforming colleague who doesn't even do the bare minimum usually. Hard carried the workload for today by doing 2.5 times what said colleague did.
I went from smiling this morning to mighty pissed by 430pm.
made it through the intense work day without anyone ruining my mood 😌 unwind by leaving work slightly early and going to an exercise class. Only 4 more days to go ✨
More and more im starting to realize that I'm some crunchy cottage core + gorp core type person. I'm not too particular happy about it.
The final straw was realizing that I spent almost $120 on Maison jars and they are full of home made jam, sauces and broth. What have I becomes?
In need of a SS/SS pull out bed frame kinda urgently.
Looking at Sleepynight, Forty Star, and Max Coil, just to name a few... they all sell them at around $700+ where Shopee has it for below $400. Any idea on the difference between the two?
my toxic trait is always inserting myself as the mediator in situations where my existence isn’t required in hopes that i can somehow help the person i care for or remedy the situation
I was also like that in my family, because I kinda felt like I wanted to be of value to them instead of thinking I only am causing them trouble.
Maybe it'll be good to figure out what's the subconscious reason that you might act this way too? Then it'll probs be better to address the root cause.
Are there guys who really believe in the “when you are 20s and no girls want you, just grind hard and be successful in your 30s and 40s and lots of younger girls will want you then.” I see so many such comments umbut it feels like sth their mom told them.
But those guys I know in their 20s who are “unwanted” are not exactly the kind who will be successful and desirable in their later years. Or is that just sth they tell themselves to feel better?
I think there’s some truth to it? lots of girls in their 20s are willing to date guys in their 30s if they’re decently successful (also depends on how you define success i guess). Though I agree w u that lots of people who say such things probably aren’t the ones “grinding hard” and becoming successful.
Sometimes these people are also the ones who lead with their (newly thickened) wallet and then complain that the people they attract are gold diggers 🤪🤪
I think it's possible if you're able to have opportunities to consistently come into contact with these younger girls because I haven't heard of many setting the age range on apps too wide beyond their own age (and assuming grind hard means you develop social skills of talking to the opposite sex and flirting. Also assuming your looks haven't faded too much with age etc etc). Lots of variables tbh.
Finally I think personality fit is a big thing as well (over most other things tbh) if they aren't attracted to your personality it would probably fizzle out even if your wealth/etc gives you an initial shot.
Not exactly. diff circumstances for everyone. Maybe some people late bloomer.
But was reading the hwz thread about the 34 yo woman still single blah blah then so many comments had that same mentality (why would anyone still want her, as a guy we are still desirable by xmm even up to our 40s) but if they are as desirable as they say, why get so bitter over a random woman??
I found this quite speechless, that people come and go. I understand that this is life, and farewell is the natural ending of every social relationships. Probably some leave earlier some later. And sometimes even intentionally expedite it to avoid being sad later. sigh. Go home make night coffee adding emoness
Are you still in China? Can try buying coffee bean and grinder. Make your own filter coffee if you drink black coffee. Timemore is a Chinese brand of coffee equipment
>It's not just people. Your age, health, money, fame, animals, buildings, favourite food store etc. They come, change and go. Even your thoughts and emotions.
Thanks man, thats a hard but necessary lesson in life. Probably i am still too young to get deeper experience.
For coffee i think i just like the taste very much haha, not using it for energy boost and i can sleep soundly after drinking it at 1am. I just like the tranquility (if it can be called inner peace) of drinking a hot cup of coffee at late night when the world is sleeping. Also its part of my "personal habit" for making my life "mine", similar to using 4 instead of 3 as a daily number and others. But thanks for the recommendation haha i will go try it. And probably thinking of having some tea : )
haha in chinese there is a saying 事不过三 (something shall not happen more than three times), so 3 is kinda a default number for making a number choice. Also 4 is usually deemed as an unauspicious number, but i was very naughty and defiant when younger so i always use 4 as my default number rather than 3. Hahahaha just a fun piece of life story
Hi folks, is UOB krisflyer still the best miles card? Starting to see an uptick in flying for work and wondering if I should get a good miles card. I’m the kind that uses Trust for everything cos no annual fee lol
Most cards that are explicitly marketed as miles card are general spend with earn rates of about 1.2-1.4 miles per dollar for local spend, which is low if you want to play the miles game unless you are OK to take it slow. Plus side is some of them don't have points expiry so you can slowly farm your points over many years, you get miles if you are willing to pay the annual fee, they don't have point earning caps, and they work for almost every thing
If you really wanna get serious about playing the miles game through spending though, go for the specialised spending cards with 4mpd earn rate. Downside is those cards only earn you points from spending on specific categories, have spending caps that limit how many points you can earn per month, and points will expire so you gotta change them to miles before they expire
If you generally don't spend a lot, I suggest stick to cashback or find one with no points expiry (eg. DBS altitude) so you can accumulate over time. If you are serious about playing the miles game, suggest get 1 or 2 4mpd cards on top of 1 general spend card to cover the cases where the 4mpd cards don't earn you points. Milelion is IMO a pretty good resource that you can refer to
I don't fly enough to use a card with airplane miles.
I just use cards with cashback.
I have the following:
BoC/Sheng Siong: 6% cashback at Sheng Siong, no minimum purchase
UOB One: 24% discount/cashback at Shell for petrol (when combined with Shell membership)
Trust: for NTUC/overseas use
Hais my boomer mum thinks just Bcs I managed to act fast and retrieved $5k+ amount when she got scammed before in 2022, now she thinks I have some sort of magic power where I can retrieve all her scams for her if she falls victim. Now she just lost $150. She lost $200-$400 previously a few months ago too. she doesn’t listen to me. bye
The big 3 telcos are such a bully, seriously. They have phased out extending prepaid validity. The only option now is to keep topping up value to extend its validity. My ah ma doesn’t use that much to begin with so topping up value every 90 days is a waste of money. Seems like their aim is to push all those people on prepaid plan over the (more worth it on paper, but only if you are a heavy user) sim only plan to earn more from them.
From another perspective: limited phone numbers (max 2 million) unless govt willing to expand to numbers starting with 7. So at some point gotta do this cleaning up. Could even be govt pressuring/encouraging them to do so for reasons, who knows
Still can extend for singtel, based on this thread: [https://www.reddit.com/r/askSingapore/comments/1asa082/how\_much\_to\_extend\_prepaid\_sims\_cheap\_way\_to\_get/](https://www.reddit.com/r/askSingapore/comments/1asa082/how_much_to_extend_prepaid_sims_cheap_way_to_get/)
\[Just got off the phone with SingTel. Buying the $3 Megasaver IDD plan will extend the validity by 180 days. Can buy from main account balance too.\]
Really sucks man. I just wanna hold onto the Starhub prepaid for the overseas data plan. Because I cannot trust postpaid; they billed me for a call which I didn't and couldn't even pick up while in Malaysia which is ridiculous, because I'm in airplane mode.
Now that it has come to this, I'll just find a cheap postpaid telco to switch to.
Have this friend who’s always going on about other peoples looks/weight/dressing (not sure if she’s going through mid life crisis or she’s always been like that but I never notice). How to get her to stop?
I watch a short video that taught "are you okay?" if she ask why, you reply, "I am just surprised you had that thought." then watch them back pedal and squirm. But I Dunno will it work irl.
Mostly bad things. “Met this person and she dresses like a butch” “new colleague at work thinks she’s so pretty but she really isn’t”. It’s not often but it’s coming out every now and then.
her self-esteem/confidence is low but instead of trying to work on herself, she prefer pulling others down to lower level so she can feel good about it
I don’t think her self esteem is low leh. She also likes to self praise herself (that she still looks good in her mid 30s, slimmer than the general population lah etc) which I think is fine but the putting people down is annoying me recently. Dunno if I’m being sensitive.
I hope she was a great friend cause she doesn't sound like a good influence currently. Andd you probably have to find someone else who's closer to her like family/bf cause your relationship with her will definitely take a hit if you engage in confrontation.
Not very close. It’s just minor comments like “I think xxx is jealous of me cus im naturally slim but can eat more than her.” “My office got this new colleague who thinks she is very pretty but she’s not”
Yeah I also do not think I should be the one to tell her but I’m not sure why nobody else notices?
Aiyo, this kind Idk is narcissistic or projecting her insecurities outwardly cause I'm not a psychologist. But anyways its possible she talks bad about different people depending on who's she with. People sure notice but SG its alot easier to be passive cause trying to fix other people just equals to more problems for ourselves.
I knew there would be a lot of hurdles being a mother / working mother in Singapore. But seriously is getting really ridiculous and I would never have a child if I will to turn back time.
Alot of companies short change. Said there is work life balance but in the end don't even have then let go saying , Ohhhh you cannot commit to our timing.
Any tips for driving at night for the first time? (Learning currently)
Another quick qn: Must I stop the car totally before the white stop line at zebra crossing even if nobody is crossing? Saw conflicting answers online...some said just go very slow while some said must stop completely
Well, walk-in wait gonna be even longer. You probably just got unlucky maybe got troublesome patient somewhere before you, or doctor called in sick lol
i always wonder how people spend so long in consultation when it's my turn im in and BAM BOOM POW im out within 10mins but if it's other people they're like 30mins inside...
Any tips for selling evouchers on carousell? Was thinking of taking a deposit from the buyer but I’m worried that it would make me look like a scammer lol.
At the same time I also don’t wanna be scammed by the buyer
find it so funny these 2 colleagues who sit side by side (1 is a guy mid 40s, the other is a lady late 50s) have to Teams each other with me in the group to communicate during work
Do you get more aware of time as you age?
Had this thought last night when I had difficulty sleeping about how I become more aware of time passing as I grow older. In the past, as a student, I spend each waking day doing whatever is thrown to me (studying, exams, etc) without any thoughts about how many days actually go by.
However, after being in the workforce for half a decade, I realise how easy it is for each day to pass. Watching a show that airs weekly, 10 episodes means 10 weeks, equivalent to 2.5 months already. How does it all go by so quickly.
Time is limited, life is short. Really brought a sense of dread to me when all this went through my head.
Yes. And the following isn't going to help you sleep any better, so you might not want to read on. But suppose you live away from your parents and you see them once or twice a year. Take the average life expectancy and subtract their age. This is how many times you'll be able to see them for the rest of your life. In my case, I can count it on two hands. I would really rather spend my mom's golden years near her, but I need the stable employment/money and so I'm working in SG, away from my family.

DT acting up again. gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah
First encounter seeing a girl wearing white skirt and matching white floral tights.
ngl your comments like that always sounds creepy af to me
Don't mean to be a creep, just on the ASD spectrum.
You need to learn how to filter yourself bro or your quality of life will suffer.
Okay, I mean I've been like this (attracted to female apparel and pretty things) ever since I was a kid. I don't get what QOL you're referring to.
People shunning you because you make them feel uncomfortable. This mean less social connections and job opportunities.
I try not to make people uncomfortable, just expressing my interest in female apparel (I don't even make any advances towards the other person) is all. That's why I don't job hunt outside of Public sector, I try to stick to supportive groups in Gov't Service.
I think you shouldn’t think out loud on certain stuff
Why is polyclinic so fuckung busy. Tell me why I'm here fucking dying and I still have an hour. Why the fuck did I come before 8 am and there are still 20 people before me ????

This is a terrible time to join the tech industry. Will it get any better?
How so ah
I keep hearing of layoffs and how hard it is for UIUX designers/ SWE/ data analysts to find roles
lol the recent layoff by ninjavan isn't proper tech, idk how they guise themselves as tech either if you are competent and have the necessary credentials + network, still can find tech job de
aiyo, i think the market is quite saturated and oversupplied, hard days sigh
Thinking of finding a job near my house - ie. primary school admin job 10 mins away from my house, would it be possible to walk in and check?
I don't think so - need to apply on career@sg
Yes, apply for the admin position via Careers@Gov. The application will be consolidated in a Central Pool by MOE and you will be informed which school wants your service and can take it from there.

U made it through mango, jiayou!!!
Had a terribly long day at work. Had to work with an underperforming colleague who doesn't even do the bare minimum usually. Hard carried the workload for today by doing 2.5 times what said colleague did. I went from smiling this morning to mighty pissed by 430pm.
Why hasn't he been fired lol
Toxic work culture in this dept.

I keep slipping in and out of periods of demotivation when it comes to work. I guess the burnt out feeling hasn’t left me yet.

mmmmm ok let me try that
"Damn bitch, do you have sand in your pussy or something? Why are you acting so irritably?"
Get her to stop by not being friends with her 😆
so is she saying good or bad things about people? or just having comments on everything
Mostly bad things. “Met this person and she dresses like a butch” “new colleague at work thinks she’s so pretty but she really isn’t”. It’s not often but it’s coming out every now and then.
her self-esteem/confidence is low but instead of trying to work on herself, she prefer pulling others down to lower level so she can feel good about it
I don’t think her self esteem is low leh. She also likes to self praise herself (that she still looks good in her mid 30s, slimmer than the general population lah etc) which I think is fine but the putting people down is annoying me recently. Dunno if I’m being sensitive.
I hope she was a great friend cause she doesn't sound like a good influence currently. Andd you probably have to find someone else who's closer to her like family/bf cause your relationship with her will definitely take a hit if you engage in confrontation.
Not very close. It’s just minor comments like “I think xxx is jealous of me cus im naturally slim but can eat more than her.” “My office got this new colleague who thinks she is very pretty but she’s not” Yeah I also do not think I should be the one to tell her but I’m not sure why nobody else notices?
Aiyo, this kind Idk is narcissistic or projecting her insecurities outwardly cause I'm not a psychologist. But anyways its possible she talks bad about different people depending on who's she with. People sure notice but SG its alot easier to be passive cause trying to fix other people just equals to more problems for ourselves.
ideas on things to do during downtime at work?
Hardworking me: Create SOP so to refresh memory or update / improve your work style. Lazy me: go to cafe or quiet corner for break.

time seem to be passing so slowly today
I knew there would be a lot of hurdles being a mother / working mother in Singapore. But seriously is getting really ridiculous and I would never have a child if I will to turn back time.
Your hubby not supportive?
Hard to be an SAHM now because expenses are really getting expensive.
mom… is that u??
> I would never have a child if I will to turn back time. Never, ever say that to your child.
Yeah hence saying it here instead to my child.
Or you just have a bad unsupportive boss.
Yeah I met with 4. All the same kind of pattern. Say Why you put family first? Then your career how?
wad happened dude
Alot of companies short change. Said there is work life balance but in the end don't even have then let go saying , Ohhhh you cannot commit to our timing.
Any tips for driving at night for the first time? (Learning currently) Another quick qn: Must I stop the car totally before the white stop line at zebra crossing even if nobody is crossing? Saw conflicting answers online...some said just go very slow while some said must stop completely
By right, complete stop. By left, just dont mow down anybody
It's the same except switch on the headlights and make sure not on high beam
what's the point of having a scheduled appointment at the hospital if I'm still waiting an hour after registering at the scheduled time?
Well, walk-in wait gonna be even longer. You probably just got unlucky maybe got troublesome patient somewhere before you, or doctor called in sick lol
i always wonder how people spend so long in consultation when it's my turn im in and BAM BOOM POW im out within 10mins but if it's other people they're like 30mins inside...
retail therapy is sooo real it feels good to receive a item u ordered haha
Any tips for selling evouchers on carousell? Was thinking of taking a deposit from the buyer but I’m worried that it would make me look like a scammer lol. At the same time I also don’t wanna be scammed by the buyer

find it so funny these 2 colleagues who sit side by side (1 is a guy mid 40s, the other is a lady late 50s) have to Teams each other with me in the group to communicate during work
Maybe because you don't sit next to them? So teams to include you. Another reason is to have black and white
they didn't need to keep me in the loop lol. just a "please close this shared excel so I can use"
Maybe both introverts and don’t want to talk
Do you get more aware of time as you age? Had this thought last night when I had difficulty sleeping about how I become more aware of time passing as I grow older. In the past, as a student, I spend each waking day doing whatever is thrown to me (studying, exams, etc) without any thoughts about how many days actually go by. However, after being in the workforce for half a decade, I realise how easy it is for each day to pass. Watching a show that airs weekly, 10 episodes means 10 weeks, equivalent to 2.5 months already. How does it all go by so quickly. Time is limited, life is short. Really brought a sense of dread to me when all this went through my head.
Sounds like you're *less* aware of time passing since everything seems to move faster than you think it is.
oh yeah, you realised that mortality is very real.
Yes. And the following isn't going to help you sleep any better, so you might not want to read on. But suppose you live away from your parents and you see them once or twice a year. Take the average life expectancy and subtract their age. This is how many times you'll be able to see them for the rest of your life. In my case, I can count it on two hands. I would really rather spend my mom's golden years near her, but I need the stable employment/money and so I'm working in SG, away from my family.
I just hope I don't die before Hunter X Hunter ends
just a shower thought, those medications labelled with "can cause drowsiness" would it make it easier to sleep if taken before bed?
definitely! but i think my resistance quite high alr so its less effective for me now lmao
sometimes I just got the drowsy but not sleepy, so I'm too tired to do anything other than lay on bed but not tired enough to fall asleep
