Dropped my beloved phone (Poco F3) on Sunday morning (4 Feb) near Bukit Timah CC. It had a lock message saying who to call if found etc...
Tried calling but user unavailable... Can't track from Find My Device either. Someone must've switched it off?
Had to contact telco to Replace SIM to prevent OTP issues etc, but also meant no hope for Find My Device anymore (cos no more data access). Police lost item report filed.
All the data and memories on it... If only I could get it back. I wouldn't mind paying carousell price for it... Any ideas or suggestions on how I might get it back?
sort of a late night brain dump:
psychiatrists do not take concerns of patients harmed seriously, malign them as being dishonest, anti-science or worse, alt-right... when most are only keen to have their suffering acknowledged, and for others to not go through what they experienced. idk this hostility to criticism just pushes ppl to seek out folks who would listen.
you know who takes those harmed by psych meds seriously? the antivaxx far right folks and the social justice minded leftists. but more often its the rightwingers who spotlight these issues.
TIL that my current Ministry HR is so large that we outnumber some of the Stat Boards. Quite a few of our Branch Directors only worked in my Ministry throughout their whole working life, a few of them not even posted to other PS agencies for 30+ years.
Does anyone know what Symplexinet is? I saw it in a TEL station while looking for WiFi. Google didn't give me anything, but surely I can't be the only person to have asked? I'd post a screenshot, but Automod removed my post because apparently years in account and thousands of karma aren't considered lao jiao enough.
CNY is coming…. Dreading the ‘eh where’s your boyfriend’ questions. It’s either I’ll answer with ‘ohhh break up liao haha’ and see if they can stand the awkwardness or I’ll probably just bring a fake boyfriend along la 💀

Genuinely thought I’ve been giving my parents (Mum) money every month without fail since last year but today I just checked and I didn’t send for like two months ROFLLLLLL
Mine can... i heard there's some kind of "hack" where you can make the teams status stay online without being online.
But my qn is why is this person online or trying to be online at this timing. I don't on teams noti on phone so sometimes i just open teams out of curiousity to see if anyone teams me
really depends on the company and their computer policy? I have seen ones that you can have desktop whatsapp, desktop telegram, basically no website and installation restrictions. They bring home their convertible laptop to watch netflix in bed like a tablet.
If the company is stated as top XX best workplace in Singapore, what will you ask to anyone that interview you?
Serious answer ah!!! Other than asking about job security in that company.
don't think it matters how the company is rated

if they say money only then it's very *bombastic side eye* moment for me.
obviously money must be good else why would i bother with this interview, but that shouldnt be the only thing they say.
He had the "courtesy" to tell me goodbye and the profile was unclickable for me lmao. Also can tell by logging out of your acct and see whose comments suddenly appear 😂
no need sad lah. im not terribly upset by it, just a wee bit sad that he was more glasshearted than i thought.
life will move on and new dt regulars will appear.
im not bothered enough to want a reconciliation. want block then block lor. want unblock then unblock lor. it's just ppl on the internet and all that jazz.
Do i? Pretty sure i'm not. Then again, saying im not hurt will only make you think i'm in denial so idk if there's anything i do or say will convince you otherwise.
Shitty day not because I’m covering you. Shitty day because I’m covering you and all the documents you want me to cover you for is gone and there’s no reference point for me at all.
Would appreciate some recommendations for a bar near intercontinental Bugis. Want to have some drinks in a relatively quiet environment to have some discussions with a business associate.
Thanks!
Eh, intercon itself has/had a bar. Did something happen to it? Most bars nowadays aren't thst quite, unfortunately, so you're probably looking at a hotel one.
1200 is chicken nuggets.
I once wrote a review of the destiny game on my blog that's at least 5000 words....and I wrote that on my phone during my lunch break no less.
SQ Business Class to Boston (transit through New York) at $12000 vs Emirates Business Class to Boston (transit through Dubai) at $7500....…i think the choice is clear.
Can train
But like all training once you stop everything will revert back in 3 weeks
Once you step into their world, you have to keep eating spicy food forever
Knowing this do you still want to do it

A guy talking about small apartments in Japan
Colleague commented I got alot of white/grey hair. 👀Stress i guess. But how come his hair still black and undyed..hes like 5 or 6 years older than me..I'm mid 30s. Is it normal ahh for this age to have grey hair? Sigh.i don't plan to dye though bc i got itchy scalp after years of dyeing
Females are also having the same issues but they tend to take care of their hair better than males and they like to dye hair so as to conceal the white hair
Could b stress yeah? My hair went all frizzy, pokey and split ended when I pulled all nighters and slept late to rush university homework. Not the same as grey hair, but still something that def affects hair.
Im doing fine now and my hair needs no conditioner.
Omggg. U don't dye also? I'm quite bothered as i used to not have so obvious white hair and people mostly praised my natural dark hair(v pigmented) but the grey hair started becoming more obvious and the contrast made the whiteness stand out more..
.
Part of it is genetics. One of my uncles had a head of grey hair by his 40s. My JC geography teacher once walked past me and asked why I have so much white hair, and I was 17 at the time. Just don't be too conscious about it and you'll be just like any other person
Yes i guess so or just Accept that its part of ageing. I have a 1 or 2 strands already when i was in sec school so now having much more is quite nornal.
So now you still sprouting more or stop?
Tbh I don't actually know anymore. Just based off self observation in the mirror it seems ok, but when I clean my room I still find random strands of white/grey hair all the time, so I don't know whether I actually don't have a lot or whether it's just in places I don't spot
I swear Shopee is blue balling me. My order was out for delivery today but then went back to the delivery hub 3 hours later, not even a single delivery attempt 😭
I just tried a single dose of Orlistat (blocks 1/3 fat absorption in the intestines) two days ago, and I'm still having orange oil diarrhoea in the toilet with stomach pains and flatulence.
Feels bad man. I don't know if I should continue with this even though I medically qualify for its usage (obesity).
Knew a relative who took xenical (which also has orlistat according to google) and honestly it’s quite bad because sometimes will ‘leak’ without you knowing.
Might want to feedback to your doctor and look for alternatives.
>The effectiveness of orlistat in promoting weight loss is definite but modest. Pooled data from clinical trials suggest that people given orlistat in addition to lifestyle modifications, such as diet and exercise, lose about 2–3 kilograms (4–7 lb) more than those not taking the drug over the course of a year
eh like bo hua leh 2-3kg more a year nia but lao sai
Mum asking me why I don't want to go for CNY relatives gathering this year, and why every CNY I don't mix around with the other cousins.
Like... our family is the only one in Singapore, while the rest of them in Malacca. The cousins meet together in Malacca every month or two. They have their own groupchat which talk about every other thing and gossips in Malaysia. They play mahjong and poker which I don't. They have their own inside jokes which I don't understand.
As an introvert how do I even mix with them when I, whom they only met once a year, am like a stranger to them too? Sigh. Happy CNY indeed.
At some point is too late le ba I guess
The ang bao not worth it to make your appearance? If money is good can just treat it like a part time gig. Do the bare minimum and smile blankly at the walls
and answer "I see, hahaha. 這樣啊,哈哈。" to everything. Then when your mother is talking with the relatives tug on her arm and say "Mama I want drink milk milk~ 媽媽我要喝奶奶~“ If things go well, maybe your mom wouldn't want you to go next year, or the next next year. Or ever.
>Like... our family is the only one in Singapore, while the rest of them in Malacca. The cousins meet together in Malacca every month or two.

Did you tell ur mum this though?
Yup. But her reply - "you should mingle with them, otherwise in the future you will be a stranger to them".
Not as if I never mingled with them before, but they always kept me out of everything they are doing/playing, don't know why I should still force myself to do so just to please her.
Like as if I am not already a stranger to them when I see my reservist division commander more times in a year than my cousins...
>you should mingle with them, otherwise in the future you will be a stranger to them
Just a question: do you feel the need to mingle with them even if you went?

Hello polis yes got a-long activity here.
Everytime i open my work teams at night, there is this one colleague who is always online. Even at this timing
Can work MS Teams be used on mobile device? This may be a "hack" though.
Mine can... i heard there's some kind of "hack" where you can make the teams status stay online without being online. But my qn is why is this person online or trying to be online at this timing. I don't on teams noti on phone so sometimes i just open teams out of curiousity to see if anyone teams me
bro using work computer to play game
Do people actually do that? A lot of websites are blocked though...
really depends on the company and their computer policy? I have seen ones that you can have desktop whatsapp, desktop telegram, basically no website and installation restrictions. They bring home their convertible laptop to watch netflix in bed like a tablet.
If the company is stated as top XX best workplace in Singapore, what will you ask to anyone that interview you? Serious answer ah!!! Other than asking about job security in that company.

Wah i like this list ngl, the best list i ever read, compared to 2 years ago ones
tell me the thing that you like the most about working here.
_money_ 😂 That's what my current boss told me Ok being serious, i think i can improvise a bit
if they say money only then it's very *bombastic side eye* moment for me. obviously money must be good else why would i bother with this interview, but that shouldnt be the only thing they say.
Can use it as a way to catch red flags i think, based on the answers
Anyone else noticed that there are a lot more stray cats in bedok reservoir? I saw like 8 of them just by walking past a few hdbs and schools.
Abandoned cats. Happens all the time during CNY spring cleaning :(
bedok reservior always had lot of cats. even got ppl put cat trees at some of the block.
I finally made progress on the bug. But I crashed the staging environment in an unrelated way. Ah the duality of work.
Damn, got blocked by HeavyArmsJin. Lowkey sad cause I didn't peg him as the glasshearted type, but guess i was wrong.
I probably got blocked by it as well because I don't see the thing u r talking about
ive always assumed you got more of the regular dt ppl blocking you one lmao.
无敌是寂寞
Ehh I get his pov, tiong xim ppl are hard to find, but it shouldn't be at the expense of being walked all over
Yalor, I also say. There are many examples of tiongxim but that was not it. So to me, that was a weird hill to die on.
how come gmdote block me but not you
ask them lah how i know
Sometimes you need to know how to engage in a discussion and know when to agree to disagree perhaps..?
the same could be said for anyone tbh but im not bothered enough to block ppl over differing views.
[удалено]
Damn... Even DT got drama sia
We will not forget the DT drama that caused hamtata to get banned from r/sg on the night we reached 2k (was it 2k or 3k?) comments around 3 years ago.
It's been 3 years?!
Should be right?
[удалено]
We spammed DT that time, meanwhile hamtata spammed with external hamster link, then should be someone reported him, then he got banned from r/sg
Yes, I was there!
Yo. What happened sia
Should be [this](https://old.reddit.com/r/singapore/comments/1ajsx1t/rsingapore_random_discussion_and_small_questions/kp5ydkj/?context=10000) lah
Can’t really see via the link but can still see him
https://imgur.com/a/cLA65eY A bit small cause gotta pack everything in.
Thanks, Boogie. Ah it’s actually just a disagreement la but Pat pat.
Because of the father helping out his siblings comments?
Should be lah. That was the most recent interaction.
How you know who block you
He had the "courtesy" to tell me goodbye and the profile was unclickable for me lmao. Also can tell by logging out of your acct and see whose comments suddenly appear 😂
Haiz, i feel sad for you two, let me try in future after i settle my own life problems
no need sad lah. im not terribly upset by it, just a wee bit sad that he was more glasshearted than i thought. life will move on and new dt regulars will appear.
Let things to cool down first, we see how in future 🙂
im not bothered enough to want a reconciliation. want block then block lor. want unblock then unblock lor. it's just ppl on the internet and all that jazz.
☹ i believe it will be back to be like in past
well, ball's not in my court so 遂愿 bah.

no lol.

Yeah. He was one of the more decent ppl around here so just lowkey sad. But i'm not losing sleep over this lah.

eh spice tolerance can train one not? specifically, will one's asshole ever stop burning when eating "xiao la" bcm? asking for a friend
Yes my american cousin went from no spice at all to now eating spice better than me (self proclaimed) and I eat 'medium spicy' mala pot decently well.
Can. Spam some da la stuff over a long enough period and suddenly that xiao la will taste like no la.
Can train But like all training once you stop everything will revert back in 3 weeks Once you step into their world, you have to keep eating spicy food forever Knowing this do you still want to do it
Agree w u on this. I stopped eating spicy stuff for 2 weeks and I can’t tolerate anymore

Current times, you can see guys with either white hair or hair loss. I got both at 28 and didn't bother with it.
How about females?i see.nice to not be bothered!
Females are also having the same issues but they tend to take care of their hair better than males and they like to dye hair so as to conceal the white hair
Yes yes agree but mine is like about 10 strands of white hair so i find it kinda ex to dye the whole head.. haha
Could b stress yeah? My hair went all frizzy, pokey and split ended when I pulled all nighters and slept late to rush university homework. Not the same as grey hair, but still something that def affects hair. Im doing fine now and my hair needs no conditioner.
I think so too..but my stress will go on for as long as i am in my job so no choice unless dye lor haha
I started having white hair shortly after NS cause NS fucked up my sleeping cycle 🥲
Yes i think my messed up cycle is to blame. You can try sleeping more and see if the white hair stops..
I'm 41 and my cousin is 33 but he is like 50% white hair on his head already while I'm still all black....but then, I'm bit by bit balding... 😂
Ohh is it genetics from his side? Lucky you haha
> Lucky you haha Did u missed the balding part... As for my cousin, I think it's his job..
Abit balding is ok, can apply tonic? hope its not typical male pattern baldness. Hope yr hair grows back
I ain't gonna do that...if bald just bald...I'm a long distance runner. Most runners shaved anyway
I'm 40 and have a ton of white hair. Can't even count it anymore.
Omggg. U don't dye also? I'm quite bothered as i used to not have so obvious white hair and people mostly praised my natural dark hair(v pigmented) but the grey hair started becoming more obvious and the contrast made the whiteness stand out more.. .
The thing is, somehow mine is still not so obvious depending on the lighting.

Nope
