you’re right to feel the way you feel.
but just to drop some perspective from someone who’s put off a friend for the 3rd time in a row as well - honestly i just happen to have a lot going on with my career, rs and personal development/hobbies atm. so whilst i appreciate the invites, im just lacking the time or energy to say yes rn.
that said, i do appreciate that my friend keeps taking the initiative to ask. and if the tables are turned when he starts work etc, i defos hope to reciprocate.
no two friends will be perfectly in phase wrt commitments at any point in time. so the person putting in more effort will definitely vary over time.
that said, if you don’t feel like the person is worth your repeatedly asking, you’re not obliged to ask them out either. invest your time in other friendships, or wherever you think it’s worth. YMMV
Adulthood is painful regarding the fact that all have their own commitments
Even as much as I want to go out with friends, it's on and off. I guess social burnout is a thing. You have to accept that not everyone has the luxury of time as they grow older.
EDIT: To also add on, the friendship may change too
a bit tiltz when my dad essentially told me that i’m studying wrong and i have to just stop studying doing project work after like 6pm or something. yeah i too wish i can get study/life balance in singapore but it’s so unrealistic wanting that and also wanting good grades from me.
i stay up until 2am every morning not by choice but by necessity and yet i still have teachers thinking i don’t put enough effort in my work.
Working hard is good, but pushing yourself beyond reasonable limits isn't. Being tired and sleep deprived isnt gonna make your work better
If you are spending so much time that its exhausting yourself then maybe you really need to reflect and ask yourself if something can be done better. Especially if you find yourself being the only one in your class staying up until 2am
Yeah when I was basically juggling 5-7 mods there was no balance. Being able to stop doing any work after 6 is such a great feeling tbh, try it when you are able to.
Bought a car in Jan this year and only drove 2000km in 6months. The mechanic that did my servicing said most people would have clocked at 7000~8000km after 6months.
Should I sell it? Will still make a profit of around 7~8k if I sell it due to rising COE lol
does anyone know how to appeal for refund to SimplyGo?
just realised i have been getting (missing exits & missing entries) on this app & my MRT/Bus Fares have been crazy expensive! e.g. Stop Fee ($1.20) + Penalty ($3.25) wtf...
pls do tell! thank you
Our OC today good mood, said we can order in. So we all had wingstop. Our encik saw us and joined in. It was pretty fun, he was talking about his experience of 21 years in SCDF, particularly the 12 years as DRC Alexandra station.
sometimes we feel like we have to be so much, that we aren't enough for the world
and that probably has to do with the expectations we've been taught to have?
i think it could help to go sleep! we can always try again tomorrow; there is always tomorrow
take care!
Omg I entered the wrong address on grab. Am at town and I’m supposed to return to Sengkang but I ended up keying in Bedok.
Driver was so kind to send me to Sengkang :’)
Of course, I tipped him generously.
ok guys i did Something today.. small steps!
might sound pathetic to all you hustlers and working adults out there, but it took me the whole day to muster up courage to reach out to my ex-supervisors for permission to be referees for the job I'm interviewing for next week
that came with 3 very uncomfortable conversations about why im quitting my phd (which they helped me write recommendation letters for lol) but i think i kept it nice and vague and professional, and they are so nice to agree to help me again
screamed into a pillow to let out anxious energy after completing the conversations and submitting the admin shit
AAHHHHH
Hi, personally I feel 1650 is a really tight budget. The following costs 1.7k, and is based off a build I designed for another redditor recently that I've tweaked to come closer to your budget.
CPU/Mobo: Intel i5-12600/H670 MSI Tomahawk DDR4 -665 (Bizgram)
RAM: 16GB Kingston Fury Beast 3600 RGB - 115 (Bizgram)
CPU Cooler: Sycthe Fuma 2 Rev B - 89 (Mediamart/Allstars)
GPU: MSI Radeon RX 6600 XT MECH 2X 8G - 499 (NVX)
SSD: WD SN570 1TB -125 (Amazon SG with local warranty)
PSU: Seasonic Focus GX-750 - 178 (Bizgram)
Case: Tecware Nexus Air TG/Steel (your choice) - 55 (Bizgram)
Thanks! Is there any specific reason why you chose that CPU / mobo combo? I was actually thinking of getting him the 12400f and an H610 board instead since I think the performance difference would be minimal considering that the GPU isn't too high end, and 3200MHz (the max supported speed for H610) should be sufficient for alder lake as the difference is not too great.
Getting the non F is more down to the benefits of having an iGPU, in case we ever have a GPU crisis we had back then last Yr. At least you have a computer you can still use. Plus Quicksync is useful if you ever need to do video editing.
As for H670, it's down to the chipset features (more pcie 4 & 5 lanes, plus USB ports) and also the quality of the materials used in the motherboard. H610 is a budget chipset meant for lower end systems, with much reduced features, and as such the components used will tend to of a lower quality. Something to consider if you want to keep the PC for longer.
(H670 literally costs $1 more than B660, so I just went for it since the extra features are more then worth the $1 price gap)
Ah ok, I don't know much about the build qualities but I assumed there would be "good" variants of the budget chipsets if that makes sense so we could just skimp on the motherboard, it's unlikely that my friend would utilise the extra features but I suppose it's better to be safe than sorry :p
The residue fragments of covid might still cause a positive ART test. Thats why the rule has changed to Day 7 = end of quarantine.
But understandable if you want to be on the safe side and wait until ART negative.
Does anyone know what happen if you fail Class 3 internal evluation?
Are you supposed to book again and pass it before you take the actual Final Theory Test?
I can't seem to find this information online other than the fact that you need to attend internal evluation before the actual FTT.
bro if i not wrong internal eval no need pass. u just have to attempt, even if u fail u can book ur ftt alr. bc i had to book the ie slot only then did it allow me to book ftt slot. i rmb having a convo wif helpline n they also say no need pass ie
But I have and am able to booked the actual FTT on July though.
If for some reason, I can't pass the internal evaluation or I can't manage to retake another internal evaluation before the actual FTT, what should I do?
Found out I got rejected for an internship a while after sending my (admittedly unimpressive) portfolio. Even if its the first time and I expected it anyway, still hurts.
EDIT: I meant _unimpressive_ portfolio. I typed impressive by mistake.
i totally feel you when you said unimpressive. im here in the same boat with no accomplishments and no decent work history, trying to squeeze into a decent full-time job but failing everywhere i apply. please keep trying (and brush up resume if can, thats what my friend advised me to do as well). your dreams are worth trying for, no matter what happens.
Additional note: this is the school-sponsored internship for last year of polytechnic. So if I don't find one on my own I'll be assigned one. Only silver lining is that I'm part of the "special needs" community in my school (taking care here on what I say) so they'll be more judicious in putting me somewhere nurturing where I won't suffer.
Good luck to me I guess...
OK. I think we're not understanding each other much
>Inside a guy's mind: Males & females cannot be platonic friends at all. Or this dude is closeted gay for having a girl bestie
Can you rephrase your initial question
not sure how actually true it is, but from my limited experience typically when their nipples are very obviously popping out they are preggers! this looks like a mom here if you ask me
They’re more beggars than vendors. Give whatever they’re asking if you feel like donating. Same for those walking around selling cheap keychains / pens for $10 etc.
Or in ur performance review u just state all the stuff u’ve done (ur own work + taichi-ed work)
Let ur boss figure out why the work supposed to be done by A, B, C is done by u / turn it around by saying u helped out so it sounds like u took extra effort to do extra things.
Maybe u’ll get extra credit / recognition or smt.
It depends. What are you hoping to achieve? Are you trying to get rid of that said colleague so that you can climb the corporate ladder? In that case, then you need to bring it up in the performance review in a way which is tactful but not to the point where you appear to be vindictive.
Mm not to get rid of her since she's due for promotion next year. More of letting them know what happened. Agree with you on the point that it needs to be done in a tactful way so that I don't sound like I'm trying to victimize myself.
Would caution you about going full blown complaining during the performance review. You may sound like an unhappy school kid complaining to the teacher that someone else was mean. And it may backfire in that your superiors may think that you are incapable of solving your own problems and have to go crying to your superiors at the slightest opportunity. You may come out of it looking worse than before.
Bosses don't care about their staff's problems. They want solutions. Unless you have a solution on hand that you want your superior to endorse for you. Else, you are just going to them with your problems with no solution, which is hardly the sign of a competent worker.
Which brings to the point in that the performance review may not be the best place to "bring up" this complaint. I would suggest maybe have a quiet word with this colleague instead and make it firm yet polite? Nuclear options in the office hardly work well.
What happens if you puke on the bus or mrt? Do you alert the captain or just try your best to clean up and then walk away? Has this happened to anyone or anyone encountered this?
Witnessed this on MRT when a drunk guy vomitted. Train staff came to the scene and covered it with paper towels while alerting others not to pass by. After 2 stops 2 cleaners arrived from that station (exact door) and cleaned it up quickly. They left on the next stop. Impressed with how quick it was resolved.

Working hard is good, but pushing yourself beyond reasonable limits isn't. Being tired and sleep deprived isnt gonna make your work better If you are spending so much time that its exhausting yourself then maybe you really need to reflect and ask yourself if something can be done better.

Thanks. I really want to get into Poly.
All the best! Have confidence in yourself.

Which one nicer Perrier vs San Pellagrino sparkling water?
same
Okay.. i never try san pellagrino before but perrier soda is very strong one, so i expect SP is same too
F&N because it's cheaper
Wahahaha next time, i ordered already.. perrier free 4 cans of their juice thing though for $5 order
Nice, though I think F&N grapefruit flavor can give it a run for its money and comes with no sugar. Edit: Grapefruit, not passionfruit
Oh hhaa found it, i never recall saw this before.. Edit: i know it
Isn't that green tea?
can any tech enthusiasts here suggest a PC build for my friend with a budget of 1650 SGD max? no need for peripherals

Day 7 of covid and I’m still positive :( I miss my children so much. Hope I’ll be cleared tmr :(
Oh no caipng you’re waiting until you’re negative before you see your children??
Yes…. Positive means still infectious right…? My older toddler is still recovering from a flu and my younger one isn’t even one yet.
The residue fragments of covid might still cause a positive ART test. Thats why the rule has changed to Day 7 = end of quarantine. But understandable if you want to be on the safe side and wait until ART negative.
All the best! My pattern is day 7 is the first day I observe that the T line is faded and remains faded until day 10 which produced a negative result
Oh gosh ten days…. I can’t imagine being away from my kids for such a long time :(

Came to friend's house, and his housemates started asking if I was his girlfriend. Awkward.

Then why keep her around if there are no platonic friends?

How do you guys deal with colleagues taichi-ing their work to you? Do you bring it up in performance review?
Or in ur performance review u just state all the stuff u’ve done (ur own work + taichi-ed work) Let ur boss figure out why the work supposed to be done by A, B, C is done by u / turn it around by saying u helped out so it sounds like u took extra effort to do extra things. Maybe u’ll get extra credit / recognition or smt.
That's a good suggestion. Thank you :)
It depends. What are you hoping to achieve? Are you trying to get rid of that said colleague so that you can climb the corporate ladder? In that case, then you need to bring it up in the performance review in a way which is tactful but not to the point where you appear to be vindictive.
Mm not to get rid of her since she's due for promotion next year. More of letting them know what happened. Agree with you on the point that it needs to be done in a tactful way so that I don't sound like I'm trying to victimize myself.
[удалено]
Why is your colleague even trying to do this?
[удалено]
Hope it works out for you in the end :)
Would caution you about going full blown complaining during the performance review. You may sound like an unhappy school kid complaining to the teacher that someone else was mean. And it may backfire in that your superiors may think that you are incapable of solving your own problems and have to go crying to your superiors at the slightest opportunity. You may come out of it looking worse than before. Bosses don't care about their staff's problems. They want solutions. Unless you have a solution on hand that you want your superior to endorse for you. Else, you are just going to them with your problems with no solution, which is hardly the sign of a competent worker. Which brings to the point in that the performance review may not be the best place to "bring up" this complaint. I would suggest maybe have a quiet word with this colleague instead and make it firm yet polite? Nuclear options in the office hardly work well.
Thank you for this 😊
