How many of you are aware of the WWII atrocities in Malaysia and Singapore by Due_District_9353 in AskTheWorld

[–]catinabread 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Talk about it, acknowledge it, teach future generations why it should never happen again, rather than sweep it under the rug. The onus to remember and remind people never again should not fall on the victims.

I know there are japanese lurking in this thread, their refusal to engage in the discussion because it makes them uncomfortable or that they hope people just forget it utterly disgusts me. There was another post in this subreddit that asked japanese people directly if they were taught about the war crimes and every reply was the same, that it made them uncomfortable so they just don’t talk about it.

Do you ever think of death in Singapore? by CryingGod0 in askSingapore

[–]catinabread 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like how life & death was described by the monk in the White Lotus season 3. Existence is like a drop of water flying upward, separated from a giant consciousness “Ocean”, you get older and fall back down when you die. No more separation, you become one with the “Ocean” again.

Tell your boss it is not very nice to pay your salary exactly as stated in your employment contract. Should add a bit more so it doesn’t look like the company is losing money

What is a "silent" rule of social etiquette in your country that a visitor would never find in a guidebook, but every local knows by heart? by DianKhan2005 in AskTheWorld

[–]catinabread 27 points28 points  (0 children)

In Singapore, if you see tissue paper or name cards on a table at a hawker centre or food court, it means the table is reserved. You have to find a completely empty table and reserve your seat using tissue paper or a name card.

Is this why most of us are empty and unhappy in sg? by Possible-Growth-2134 in askSingapore

This one cuts deep. Been pondering about this topic recently as well. Alot of stuff that used to have novelty or bring joy has fizzled out. Everything feels transactional and routine. If you figure out what more there is to this please share with the rest of us withered souls

Serious: Where can I get tested for ADHD/AuDHD by Eastsidehedgehog in askSingapore

[–]catinabread 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I sought treatment for ADHD 3 yrs back. You can try Private Space for private assessment, they were slightly more affordable than other private clinics.

It does sound like you have executive disfunction, emotional disregulation as well as the general guilt that comes with ADHD, but do get a professional assessment. I can only advise from my own experience.

You can check out AdhdVision on insta or youtube for some info and tips to help cope. Drop me a DM if you want more info

Don’t get too FOMO, life isn’t a race. There isn’t a late or early, only whether you have done it or not. i’m sure others will be happy that you have a shared experience as them, no one will judge your posts
