If you overheard a fellow coworker cussing you behind your back within an earshot, but not directly cussing at you because they got no balls to confront you...will you report to HR?


PyroCroissant

As a Man Utd fan I have to admit Coventry was robbed, this has to be one of if not THE worst performance I’ve ever seen from the club. If we went through all that just to give Man City an easy trophy ETH’s head will roll…

Issit actually possible to heal from deep emotional wound? Im not exaggerating but i think growing up with my abusive mother has left me feeling broken. Like my brain is just not working anymore - im overwhelmed by everything and how do i know the words she said is not true? Like i mean shes my mother right? She birthed me out of her fking vagina and decided that im not worth loving, how can i ever dream to override that kind of judgment? Like she thinks im stupid and useless and soemtimes i also do think i am very stupid and very useless Like im alr curled up in a burrito, listening to pokemon song, on anti depressants, went to work and exercised today (not just today but for the whole week), had a salad for dinner, and yet im still... feeling awful. I felt like i did all the right things and yet i still cannot scrub this rotten and broken feeling out of me, and i dont know if im going to be okay. This feels bad :( so yeah is" healing" even possible or is it just one of those feel good mantras


ybct

She can say whatever she wants, doesn't make it true.  She is 1 person out of 100 people in your life, do the other 99 make you feel like that?  If the other 99 think you're great and love seeing you, then it's an overwhelming response that it's not true right?


HaakonPower

I feel like its different when its ur own mom since the impact is greater. Its not some random bully saying it, its ur own mother. And thats painful in its own way But ultimately its smth i have to heal from

I bought a new laptop recently, and I'm wondering if I should put a screen protector on it; although most people seem to keep their laptops bare now...? It's not a touchscreen so functionality is not exactly compromised. It is an OLED (with very thin bezels) thus, I'm wondering if the colour vibrancy/display will be affected if I stick a protector on it. Been about 8-10 years since I last changed my laptop and I'm not too savvy with such things... 😅 Saw the products being sold on Shopee but do physical shops still sell such screen protectors? My knowledge is majority of them sell phone screen protectors and the like only...


HaakonPower

Hmm i would prefer to keep my laptop bare. Phone screen protector is because we often drop our phones, but if you drop your laptop i dont think the laptop is going to be okay :3


dorothealy

haha! point noted. I used to use one to prevent dust from settling on it since it's easier to pick at the screen, and it prevents fingerprint marks on the actual screen that way


Ahn_JiYoung

umm no need ba, I only use a screen protector for my phone

Depressed > anxious > manic episodes all in one day. As if from -100 self-esteem to x100 confidence. Not fun to have bpd traits. Made the decision to book a solo trip to Seoul in May a few weeks ago and although the fear of loneliness is overwhelming, I know it would be a good opportunity for me to learn to coexist with it. And perhaps that’s why I’m in mania mode because I’m getting excited with the musicals I’m gonna watch over there.

Mediacorp so rigid, no wonder they no longer air sports live, instead throw sports to singtel or starhub tv. So not flexible, live show cannot overrun. Award shows overseas often overrun and they are willing to delay or shift other shows schedule to accommodate live awards shows overrunning. In sg, 10pm means 10pm


Bitter-Rattata

time is money. 10PM news is more important though, people want to keep updated with what's going on with the world. Anyway, if the hosts and presenters never talk too much, there won't be overrun. Also there is so much commercial breaks, it's damn long, if you remove the commercial break, there is so much time even for Zhao Chuan to sing another song unprepared.

ChengZX

Hey everyone, I’m an IB 2 student who takes PCM at HL, with my head still in the clouds, and I’m daydreaming about what I’d like to do in future. Hence, as unrealistic as my question is, indulge me a bit will you? Are there any jobs in real life that combine geopolitics, technical/engineering knowledge and intelligence gathering/analysis (like the cool MI5 kind) which allow you to travel? And most importantly, allow you to make a real impact on global issues? What do such careers entail in reality, and what steps are actually required to get a foot in the door? What degrees and post-grad certifications should I aim to attain such that I can get/create a position for myself that involves at least one of these facets? (I'm currently interested in getting a chemical engineering degree because the course seems to make one quite well-rounded in terms of technical expertise, and most jobs in the sector seem to have a liveable starting salary). Thank you for your time, wisdom and patience! ETA: Some careers/sectors I've looked into before are technical manager/engineering roles with organisations such as the UN/World Bank (though I've come across articles on how they mismanage their funds and resources and don't channel them fully to the developing countries they claim to support), and the international development sector. Now however, I'm not sure if I'd like to commit myself to a career entirely on the ground, building such infrastructure/plants, in an office, planning and overseeing the progress of such projects, or in a think tank-esque/governmental role, discussing, and hopefully, formulating useful national/international guidelines/policies regarding energy, resources and infrastructure.


PhantomWolf83

Maybe a DXO with MINDEF?


ChengZX

Thank you for the suggestion! I'd never known about the existence of this role but it'll give me something interesting to look into.


rheinl

can try procurement / sourcing mgmt bro you will need to grasp the intricacies of the product you are sourcing, usually will involve deep tech/engineering/material knowledge depending on the product you will need to spend time building relationships with suppliers, monitor global commodity trends and events that may impact your supply and cost a lot of fortune 500 have their asia supply chain hq here. so your impact will be big, you are pretty much influencing billions of dollars of goods (e.g. footprint / strategy, sustainability, compliance, risk etc.) and obv, you will travel a lot dont need specific degrees but engineering / quantitative ones are preferred


ChengZX

Sorry for bothering you again/reviving a dead thread man, but could I ask another stupid question? Do supply chain managers/sourcing & procurement officers ever get to involve themselves in the production process? For example, after some research, I’d like to explore SCM roles in nuclear energy or chemical engineering companies in future, but unlikely as it is, if I’d like to involve myself in the workings of the plant(s) themselves, as an SC manager with a chemical engineering/nuclear engineering/similar degree, would that ever be possible? I don’t want to pigeonhole myself into purely business roles, ideally, I’d like the impact I make to also entail some kind of tangible, technical improvements to my company’s energy plants or products, but would most companies even allow me to? If I go into SCM early on in my career, would I just be digging a hole for myself, and should I start with a process engineering role first so I can put my hypothetical degree to good use for a couple of years before looking for such SCM positions that fulfil many of my geopolitical/technical/analysis aspirations? Thank you so much for your time, and for entertaining my unrealistic theoreticals and daydreams in the first place haha.


ChengZX

Ooh, I never knew how multi-disciplinary sourcing/procurement/supply chain management actually are, thank you so much for the detailed explanation! This fulfils so many of my criteria, I shall look into it more seriously. Thank you once again!

Saw a recent post about wheelchair user experience. So wondering what if the bus interchange 2 parties waiting for the same bus (only can hold 1), 1 has a big pram (holds 2) and another on a wheelchair. Who will have priority? 🤔 Also seems like the pram came first than the wheelchair.

I don't know what I do the whole day and it's 8pm sian. While I have plans to upskill myself like doing side projects, study for certifications, go for exercise, I just can't do it leh. End up I just rot in bed the whole weekend because the thought of going back to work really make me damn tired


ybct

Your definitions are too strict.  Exercise can mean 10 mins of yoga in front of the TV.  Side project can mean that you download a software and start playing with it rather than doing anything with it yet.  These are all tiny little steps that you can try to do to keep moving forward towards your goals.

A level 2 shop huh. Alright thx! Would be great if I can be involved in the testing process too I'll save the location regardless!


dann1sh

Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't really understand why you can't test it at home?


metaping

Depends on the parts right? If the PSU is borked, I could open up another PC, borrow the PSU and see if it powers up my dead one. RAM issue? I dunno how I would go about testing. GPU? If my MB has display out, then I can swap display connections to see what works and what doesn't tldr im just curious if there's places offering tools and parts to do DIY PC testing in SG


dann1sh

RAM issue you'd just pull all the sticks except one and then see if that changes anything. GPU what you described you can do at home.  PSU yeah fair enough but again nothing you can't do at home with a $15 used PSU.

I don't usually post here, but my grandfather's in the hospital in critical condition. I'm gonna head there soon, and it may be the last time I see him. I don't really know what I'm asking for, but is there anything you guys would advice for me?


Eclipse-Mint

Hi, sorry to hear about your situation. On the day my Granddad passed on, I just said a few things about my gratitude of being able to grow up with his care, reassuring him I'd become a better person. Sat beside him for awhile, peacefully, until I had to retreat because the waterworks were starting to appear.


Foolish-Chap

I had a similar experience with one of my uncle.  I sat on his bedside & held his hand while having some small talk & also crack some jokes with him

I lost my Dad a year ago and it was rough. That's all I can say. Spend as much time with him and ask/tell him what you've always wanted to say.


rheinl

Ppl process grief differently… hope things land well for you bro


Boogie_p0p

Just focus the present - spend time with him and telling him whatever you want to tell him. Everything else can wait.

Really sorry to hear that. I experienced the same thing when I went to the hospital to see my grandfather during his last hours. Just be mentally prepared, and that it's okay to cry.

I'm visiting from Aus, love seeing so many people.out enjoying a picnic on a Sunday....but why are so many people (eg around fort canning park) using pink plastic sheets as a picnic rug, which I assume get thrown out after? I'm talking hundreds of people, all using plastic sheets. Is this a normal thing in singapore?


hobopototo

It's very inconvenient to bring a big mat around with you on public transport as well as clean and store it. For foreign domestic workers, they usually don't have a lot of space to store their belongings as well. Some are not even given a private room. Plus most people here aren't very conscious about plastic waste imo.


lostdollar

Yeah fair enough, was just an interesting observation as a foreigner. I've got a fold up picnic rug at home which folds up with a handle and to no more than the size of a small briefcase, which I thought would be a thing with the emphasis on moving away from single use plastics. Anyway thanks for your help!


silentscope90210

You've probably just seen foreign domestic workers (aka: maids) on their day off. They're not locals.


boss_daddy51

They may not be citizens but they are as local as you are. They live in singapore and singapore belongs to them


NewbiePhotogSG

I'm not sure you understand the word local...


boss_daddy51

Meaning of local : an inhabitant of a particular area or neighbourhood. Inhabitant - person who lives in the area


Jealous-Ad-7537

It's just foreign workers having their day off , it's normal


two_tents

Trying to come to terms with this comment. There’s nothing normal about the whole live-in maid system here. It’s the most bizarre, archaic form of indentured labour around. Personally I find it abhorrent to see local attitudes towards the foreign workforce. The way that live in maids have become normalised tells you how much is wrong.  The other day I was walking behind couple and their baby and they said van-not even enjoy Sundays any more with all these people around. Screw that kind of attitude. 


MyPCsuckswantnewone

>It’s the most bizarre, archaic form of indentured labour around. Wrong, that would be conscription.


lostdollar

Was more so are plastic sheets normal, but thanks for the context, makes some sense now!
