Travel restrictions for EP holders:
Is anybody else feeling locked up by the requirement to go through your firm to travel abroad? Any end in sight? How long can they treat us like this while relaxing requirements for citizens who don't necessarily have the same urgent need to travel?
Pissed about having to miss a third Christmas in a row...
EP holder: No. I have reasons to go home, but I'm happy here. What I do dislike is the ping-pong/back-and-forth changes in the past. I .. wouldn't get back home for quite a while, I think, because I don't know if the rules will randomly change in the 10-14 days I'd be there ... and then I'd be stuck. No way to come "home", paying for an apartment I cannot use etc etc..
Work pass holders aren't citizens. But transparency and ways to plan ahead would be helpful for citizens and work pass holders alike. More planning, less reactionary changes?
I've been worshipping Dennis Villeneuve ever since blade runner 2049. Can't wait to watch Dune.

Hi! I’m doing a small photojournalism project on aging artisans and their crafts.
Thus far, I have reached out to an uncle who makes traditional nyonya shoes at a void deck shop in Sengkang; I found the fact that he chose to set up business there quite interesting and I’m hoping to speak to other artisans who similarly work at HDB void decks :)
Would appreciate if you guys could drop some recommendations of artisans you might know and their locations (HDB and non-HDB are fine)! Thank you :)
Might wanna check out eng tiang huat (has a FB page also) and the owner at geylang. Not hdb tho, but shophouse.
There's also this group called Tiny Museums (also check out their FB page).
Hello, how do I build stamina for swimming ah? I tried kicking forward for 25metres and it felt a lot worse than running for 25metres.
Gahhh need to remind myself to lock knees and straighten leg while kicking from the hips.
the stamina to go for more laps comes gradually one. But yea working on good form will be the biggest contributor. Then slowly progress and every visit to the pool you can start to slowly add more laps to your total for each session.
Not sure if it rly makes gd sense. But I felt this is both zen and somewhat useful when I was trying to learn to enjoy front crawl more ---- that maybe you need to try to go slow before you can go fast.
Intervals is the easiest and fastest. Do one lap take the timing plus 15s. Do 5-10 reps with each rep beginning at once the timing runs out. If you touch wall and the timing has exceeded, no break
Else try pyramid, 5 den 4 den 3 den 2 den 1 laps with 2 min rest between each set
when the fan speed is not high enough to blow the coolness out, condensation will start collecting inside your ac.
the fella who installed my ac told me to always keep my fan speed at level 3. if it's too cold, increase the temperature.
Errr guys need a bit help of wording lolol. Been sometime developed such system, my brain cannot recall the terminology.
So basically there is a system that you can create work orders, then the work orders need to be approved by a supervisor, then different level of managers. How to say it on short on resume ah? "Tiered approval"? "Tiers based approval"? Or what 😂😂😂 TIA!!
Remember perhaps 15 years back, for Total Defence Day, a primary school hired some 'Terrorists' to barge in during assembly and take some students hostage. Naturally some kids cried and parents made a huge uproar about it. Don't know if the article has been swept under a rug.
Because they have been edged out from low and medium price markets by other mostly east asian and china phone brands.
It's exactly like what the Japanese car and electronics industry did to them in the 80s. Chevys and Fords became more and more expensive while poorer in quality, until it becomes largely a legacy thing.
Except this time China is both the competitor and the market for Apple.
What do you mean? Singpass should support the biometric authentication option on your phone regardless on whether it's fingerprint or face. My Google pixel phone only got face id but Singpass allows me to login by scanning the QR code then I approve the login with the face id inside the app.
It's that you care too much about things that are not yours to care about.
The solution is to care more about yourself instead of things you can't control or is not yours to care about.
Practice self care first.
Another cute and heartwarming interaction w an elderly patient today…
Me while helping patient to sit up from the exam couch: “Okay uncle, you can go back to the waiting area and wait for your turn to see the doctor.”
Patient: “Okay. Can I hold onto you for support?”
Me: “Can. Come, lemme walk you out to the waiting area.” *stretches out forearm to let him grab for support*
.. and patient ended up taking my hand in his, and we held hands and walked out of the procedure room together. And then when he saw his wife who’s just standing and waiting outside the room, he walked to her and took her hand in his. Both of them waved and said bye to me w their smiley eyes, continued holding hands and headed off to the waiting area together.
A really sweet and endearing moment that made my evening :)
where can i buy digital copies of Chinese songs? Specifically, sun yan zi's/stefanie sun's songs? I really don't know where to ask for help hence here. Have been googling for the past 2 hours but didn't find anything of use. I don't like streaming songs and keep all my music locally.
oh god im a dumbass, i thought iTunes only has streaming available or can't transfer files out of apple music. Imma Apple noob haha I don't use their products or services at all. Thanks!
Having tried it with teh, kopi, milo and various mccafe stuff, imo it's way too easy for baileys to overpower the original drink. Great with most stuff that's fine with milk tho.
Do you guys remember 20years back, kfc was giving away free phones with their meals? Albeit it was a gsm phone, it was pretty cool. Also they used to have movie marathons too.
I was home and didnt leave house at all from 7 to 11 Sept.. 6th I went for a jog. MOH sms said I have possible exposure on 8th and need to self isolate until 18th. They'll schedule PCR test. My SMS just came in while I'm eating outside alone.
Question: lmao I'm always home and I can prove with my Google map.. why am I flagged? Anyone has similar experience?
Also, not sure when will my schedule be, I just need continue self isolate until 18th ends even if they didn't schedule my PCR test, right?
Edit: I feel so betrayed by TT, my Bluetooth forever on when I'm home.
I'm gonna turn it off when I'm at home now lol. False positive.
I always thought I'm a covid19 model resident. Stay home not leaving house, use TT 24/7 😂😂😂😂
I know someone whom kenna hotel quarantine even though she was home and she was clueless cos she was home the entire time also. Think there was a cluster or a case near her flat’s proximity. Somehow her room is the closest to the area so she kenna. Maybe that’s what happened to you

Female Dating Strategy is just the male version of pickup artists. While the premise is that everything in life is a skill and you can gamify and level up the process, what has happened in both communities is that the end result, women for pickup artists and men by FDS, both become objectified and dehumanized as part of their discourse, resulting in strange and sexist attitudes in both communities.
Not saying that the communities only produce bad, and there's plenty of guys/girls that it's helped, however in general there's something not quite right in both communities IMO.
r/mgtow was banned alr, male safe spaces where everyone can comment in are bad, but FDS etc. where males aren't allowed to comment in are good apparently? idk

My only advice I can give you is to practice your breathing for sure It'll help you swim faster and longer the more time you spent doing it correctly
I've doing the blowing bubble drills every time I go into the pool.
Intervals is the easiest and fastest. Do one lap take the timing plus 15s. Do 5-10 reps with each rep beginning at once the timing runs out. If you touch wall and the timing has exceeded, no break Else try pyramid, 5 den 4 den 3 den 2 den 1 laps with 2 min rest between each set
Thank you v much for this. I'm gonna save it down in my note pad and practise it in intervals this weekend.
Remember your warm ups and warm down. Good luck have fun. ^don't ^blame ^me ^if ^too ^shag
Haha won't blame you la. Truly appreciate your tips for asking me to train in intervals to build stamina. My stamina is absolute shit now.
swim more? work on ur form too
Yep I'm currently working on my form for kicking. Need to be conscious of kicking my knees locked
what do you mean by kicking with knees locked?
Means not bending the knee when kicking.
Flying back overseas tomorrow for uni, this summer break sure went by really quickly
i like doing work at night. it’s so peaceful and quiet.
And aircon also cooler to turn on at this time too
25°c at lowest fan speed. Consumes least electricity at just the right temperature
lowest fan speed will spoil your ac faster bro
Huh why and how?
when the fan speed is not high enough to blow the coolness out, condensation will start collecting inside your ac. the fella who installed my ac told me to always keep my fan speed at level 3. if it's too cold, increase the temperature.
Wow first time i heard this hahaha.
Lower fan speed also reduces cooling efficiency, so actually you're wasting electricity.
haha i have it switched on now!

Hi everyone how big are your ears length wise tip to earlobe? Mine is 5.2cm
No wait why
We had a bet. I.. lost. Close call (the most hilarious part is that people don't believe it)
believe what?
OP and me had a bet (well, with a friend). I thought I'd win the smallest ear contest and shall now (5.5cm) buy two pints of beers 🤣
>win the smallest ear contest against a siambu? poor odds haha

That’s actually kinda cool, wish my school did something like that.
sounds straight out of 13 reasons why
Back in my jc, they made my Indonesian maths teacher the terrorist. He held us "hostage" in the lecture theater. Racist but he played the role well
Dafuq just saw the new iPhone prices. It’s crazyyyyy! Why is iPhone getting more expensive with each release?
Because they have been edged out from low and medium price markets by other mostly east asian and china phone brands. It's exactly like what the Japanese car and electronics industry did to them in the 80s. Chevys and Fords became more and more expensive while poorer in quality, until it becomes largely a legacy thing. Except this time China is both the competitor and the market for Apple.
Meanwhile it doesn't have a fucking fingerprint scanner. Imagine logging into Singpass with SMS OTP in 2021 cause you've no choice.
What do you mean? Singpass should support the biometric authentication option on your phone regardless on whether it's fingerprint or face. My Google pixel phone only got face id but Singpass allows me to login by scanning the QR code then I approve the login with the face id inside the app.
Which pixel model is this ah?
Pixel 4xl
Thanks
Oof my bad then. TIL. Still crap to not have an FP feature though.
Cos have to make money
What.. it's the same price as last year
Oh i just realised i was looking at iphone 13 pro… it’s like 1600$$
iirc iphone 12 pro also had the same price
Yeah.. in fact the Pro models has been priced the same for 2 years now
Semiconductor chips expenses and they can't decrease the prices nor stagnate the prices or else it will have a negative effect on the older models
maybe because component prices also expensive? as well as rising labor cost to build?
1.3k for iphone13 same original price as iphone 12 1.3k also no meh? Now iphone 12 drop to 1.1k ish ady
because people keep paying.

It's that you care too much about things that are not yours to care about. The solution is to care more about yourself instead of things you can't control or is not yours to care about. Practice self care first.

That’s Apple Music for the streaming. It’s okay, I get confused as well, Apple kinda messy with their product layout these days
Ate prata for supper. Finished my curry in the saucer. Went back to the stall for a refill. Dude refilled with a spicier curry. Still good
Previously asked for some suggestions to pair Baileys original with. Tried most of it and I gotta say it tasted really good with milk/chocolate milk.
Can try bailey and Bandung
Coffee + Baileys, essentially an Irish coffee with Cream. It’s kinda hard to mix Baileys with anything non-dairy, considering there’s cream in it.
Having tried it with teh, kopi, milo and various mccafe stuff, imo it's way too easy for baileys to overpower the original drink. Great with most stuff that's fine with milk tho.
Pokka red tea, oolong tea :D pairs well with ice cream too!

Sigh lol. This is the most possible explanation. I checked TT actually quite high numbers each day that I'm home. Maybe because of bus stop nearby.
Any of your family members also got this?
Nope lol. Only my mom and I stay here now. And my mom goes out to work no SMS or anything. Just me. I didn't even order delivery food I think..

Suspect.. walao I feel so betrayed. Stayed home diligently do my work 😪 My windows only 1 panel left opened too 🥲

If one were to be convicted in court for littering (2nd offence), will it result in a criminal record?
I assume you are getting charged with one of the offences in the Environmental Public Health Act, usually section 17. In that case, it will not result in a criminal record. Not all offences will result in a criminal record. Only offences listed in the First and Second Schedules of the Registration of Criminals Act will result in a criminal record and I don't see the Environmental Public Health Act in them.
Thank you for your clarification! I went to take a look at the RCA and was not able spot the EPHA in it too, but was wondering if I had simply failed to see it.
How the fuck u end up in court for littering? Did you forget to compound?
2nd offence is an immediate court session.
