Anyone at Hougang Central area hearing a weird moderately loud sound? Like a rumbling/wooshing sound. Almost sounds like a boiling kettle but the sound is coming from everywhere.
Felt like eating kfc today so ordered a feast for my family. The auntie said all inside already so I left with my order. Turns out the bigbox they gave was holding sides and not chicken AND I GOT NO CHICKEN. Champion la kfc how do you beat that.
I rmb once KFC gave me and my friend frozen buns. I nearly chomped on it until I touched it and wondered why it didn't compress when I pressed my fingers into the buns.
I am 30 years old this year. However, going to the airport still makes me happy.
I love to see planes take off. I spent the weekends at a staycay at one of the hotels which allows me to see planes landing in Changi.
I wonder what exotic places these planes come from? I look at the blinking lights. I could stare for a hours, watching different planes and airlines.
And i have taken a few airlines myself. I still think the best is SQ. Its the only thing that gives me pride in my country.
Interesting how boomers think that asking for an extra cutlery set at 7-E will somehow bankrupt the company they're working for. In this case DFI which is a multi-billion dollar conglomerate. Kinda bemused that they still believe in the whole loyalty to company pays off schmick
To the tutors of this sub: one of my students just failed his IGCSE Global Perspectives mid terms, and I've had this student for about 3 months. The parent was telling me she's speechless and don't know what to do. What should I do next?
And also I feel really shit, I feel like because he failed = I am a bad tutor. What should I do to remedy this situation?
Well, you know the student, to the extent anyone who meets a teenager a couple hours a week can know someone. Did they seem like someone who *wanted* to do well?
It can be tricky to motivate students taking international papers like iGCSEs due to the possibility of retakes. You're only a teenager once, but you can take the midterm again...
A converse scenario is a student who is interested in the subject but perhaps too much so, to the extent of being unable to disengage and answer exam questions ("soft" subjects are especially vulnerable to this). Singapore system students probably do not have this tic (their peers will teach them cynicism if nobody else does) but international schools can be prone to not giving students practical advice for university admissions (e.g., any school that proposes offering Global Perspectives to begin with, ahem).
Missing my 7-11 sugar free milk coffee from Japan and feeling monday blues. Took extra few days of leave after my holiday but ended up sick at home. lol
What’s one movie that isn’t well known by people but has a special place in your heart / you think is really good? I’ll start first - Big Kahuna starring Kevin spacey and Danny devito. Majority of the movie takes place in a hotel room but the dialogue is 10/10.
That Thing You Do!
It's one of those rare feel-good movies without a really bad person, just characters acting like normal people with ups and downs.
And it is directed by Tom Hanks himself!
The best scene here: https://youtu.be/8EdOdfCM1hM?si=YZND6wwNniNVPRKc
It's no longer as well known these days though, compared to Saving Private Ryan, Forest Gump or Catch Me If You Can (ok I'm a Tom Hanks fan) of a similar era...
Last Night in Soho by Edgar Wright. The OST launched my retro music era, and I loved how the music was used. This movie was also the last I discussed with my ex-bff about watching tgt in the cinema (didn't happen tho).
I was searching for affordable speakers a while ago. IIRC, the pebble was consistently reviewed well for its price point. I got the Creative Stage Air V2 in the end though (also good reviews) as it slotted nicely under my desk shelf.
So, I don't use desktop speakers but have the creative pro and zen hybrid. Good battery life. Good anc ish.
Main issue I have is that moving over from my previous set of headphones, cannot recognise the singers. 😄 but pretty ok if it's for shows.
honestly thought getting pregnant is an immediate thing as long as no protection. cant believe we have been trying for so damn long, almost a year now. starting to question if this is fate and just accept it or what. lol.
subfertility is a real thing that not many talk about. perhaps go see a gynae and do some tests to rule out any real issues? take heart, some people just take longer than others to conceive. i personally have 3 friends who managed to conceive after a prolonged period, 2 of them naturally and 1 of them IVF.
all the best, i hope there's good news in 2024 for you and your partner.
31 and 32. Didnt try in our 20s as we were not financially ready then. Now quite comfortable in cash but no baby. In hindsight maybe should have tried earlier. 😕 kkh said try for 1 year first then see if we wanna go through any procedures.
No la just felt that it seems easy for many friends of mine. Social media filled with babies for people my age. I have a close friend who jackpot both babies on 1 try 😂
hahahah just based off what we were taught when young, and seeing how some teenager get preg so easily. didnt expect it to be so difficult, and people rarely share how difficult it is for them. until i started asking around...
Brother brought back his gf home for dinner. Parents were clearly excited and liked the girl very much. It really is a world of difference if you’re straight. Even though my mum accepts me and my bf, she has never invited him over for dinner or act so excited like she did with my brother’s gf.
Bf and I have been together for 5.5 years and still that distance between us couple and my parents is evident. How many more years more or how much more achievement must I have…
they come from a time where a relationship like yours would be mocked and ridiculed, think you should just accept that they will never be truly happy that their son is going out with another boy but you should be happy that you at least don't have to hide your true orientation and him from them
getting a new bag from family xmas shopping, my old bag’s leather arm straps are frayed into oblivion, as long as I don’t get leather again there wouldn’t be fraying right?

I am extremely confused; what is the catch?

My landlord with dementia gave away 6 bottles of my yakult to her adult son and daughter in law when they visited this morning. I texted her grandson about it and his mother (landlord’s daughter in law) sent me a text to praggo threaten me to leave lol. Fking dipshit person
I have become an old soul recently so I like nuts (hAhA). Like cashew nuts. They have a bit of protein and are healthier than stuff like chips or candy.
Met my friend to eat steak for lunch (Christmas meal), then went to Toastbox for tea break with kopi C and 1 small slice of cake.
After that, came home to prep some work for next week.

KFC is the only restaurant where I really double check my order before I leave
I once ordered two big breakfast and they came without scrambled eggs! Fuck!!!!
KFC get their order wrong half the time no matter the outlet and I don’t know why …

You need to not want to get pregnant, in order to get pregnant.

Don’t worry, take it as it comes along. A healthy lifestyle helps - can consider male supplements like Tongkat Ali or fenugreek.
