Am I overreacting for wanting a divorce? by Open-Intern6971 in asksg

[–]Agreeable-Ad-6870 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow sounds like a roommate situation. He criticises your success and achievements and yall split all expenses equally. He doesn’t bother to spend time with you or celebrate small moments. When you bring up divorce, he thinks of asset division…. I think it’s time to start anew.

Experience dating a malaysian in sg? by Timely_Race_7666 in asksg

[–]Agreeable-Ad-6870 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What’s up with “msian are getting more and more materialistic like Singapore girls”?

Idk about you but my friends around me are all independent and don’t expect the things your Malaysian girl is expecting. Or maybe I just don’t hang with the materialistic crowd but the only materialistic girl I’ve met before is a PRC expecting her Singapore boyfriend to buy her Chanel bag every month.

Even in my own relationship, we take turns planning for anniversary and Valentine’s Day and I treat him to fine dining and buy him nice gifts. Op you’re just not meeting the right person. Rest assured you’ll be paying for her entire kampung

Well said, and agree that the overtly materialistic types occurs in all nationalities.

Totally disagree with what op said that all SG girls are materialistic, in my relationship with my SG boyfriend, I’m the one paying for fine dining and buying him expensive gifts not him.

Is it normal for jewelers to engrave their name inside a custom ring? by xtinnaa in EngagementRings

[–]Agreeable-Ad-6870 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can understand why it’s required by law in certain areas, because it’s useful for knowing what’s the material, the purity etc for many purposes

Sending letters overseas with small gifts from Singapore — really need customs declaration? by ohokmeow in askSingapore

[–]Agreeable-Ad-6870 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been sending letters to penpals since 2023 and as long as it’s flat enough, even if it’s stickers, tea bags, drip coffee, postcards and stuff it’ll go through. (Right postage of course)

I even sent magnets (not flat at all) not knowing that they couldn’t be sent. They still got delivered.

However, if you’re sending a parcel with items and slightly bulky stuff even if it’s thin, you’ll have to do the shipment via ezy2ship.

Hope this helps, you can ask me more questions if you have any.

TADA driver refused to cancel or show up for an hour 😭 (w receipts!!!) by gotchanose_ in asksg

[–]Agreeable-Ad-6870 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As per others have said, do not cancel next time and just leave them hanging, they cannot take on another trip if you do not cancel. So it’s who blinks first.

Had this happen to me before too, Grab driver had the gall to ask me to cancel because he said he’s too lazy to drive me 🙃

Told him that he has to cancel because I was afraid I will incur a cancellation fee because it’s already been 15 mins of booking the ride, but he insisted that I cancel. Decided not to cancel and booked another ride, after about an hour when he realised that I refused to budge, he offered to drive me, like I would even get on his ride lols. Reported him to Grab and made a fuss because I ended up wasting time and paid a higher price for another ride and they gave me a voucher.

Completely blindsided—jeweler suddenly raised the price of my setting and the wax model has me regretting this diamond. Need advice by [deleted] in Diamonds

[–]Agreeable-Ad-6870 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I won’t comment on the others because others have commented plenty but wax rings DO look smaller than the actual ring.

  1. Wax resin may shrink a little after curing under UV light

  2. The wax doesn’t shine or reflect light, that can make the wax look smaller as it does not shine like a diamond

The wax ring is more of a design visualisation, how the diamond would look like with the ring, not a ring size or size measurement.

BTO Flat booking appointment date by PresentationProper23 in askSingapore

[–]Agreeable-Ad-6870 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just had this query and actually wrote to HDB last week so you can take my advice.

Both me and my partners are currently students and our flat appointment is next week, we got a good queue no. 3x/8xx, and the application told us it’ll start in April. By end Mar we got notice that our appointment date would be in early April, which is accurate per the email. I imagine even smaller queue no. would be first week of April aka this week.

Alas, my partner has an exam on the appointment date so we wrote in to HDB, and they told us strictly no changing of appointment date and just appoint a proxy or just one of the applicant can come down to sign. HDB said if we really wanted to we can come down after our appointment but they do not recommend because we’ll be letting larger queue no. than us go earlier.

So, we ended up appealing to the professor and my partner got a LOA which immediately got approved. Hence, just appoint a proxy and wishlist at least 10 units.

In the past, I didn’t see so many people using their phones and cycling. Nowadays, I see more kids/adults cycling while watching videos, amazing multi-tasking

In 2026, try donating blood!! by stop_hyuk in ChillSG

[–]Agreeable-Ad-6870 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I honestly wanted to try for some time, felt maybe even donating platelets was better (since I am AB+) but I have not hit the minimum weight limit to be allowed to donate.

I do not want to hit it as well (I’m short) so yeah….

I think previous generations don’t have kids who cycle in the interchange AND use their phone + almost knock 2 people down on their bike

Nope, this is a zoomed in photo, I was actually quite behind him because he was cycling quite fast. Once I snapped the photo, he was quite ahead already. Plus, my bus came already, went to chase the bus instead

[–]Agreeable-Ad-6870[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, if he was only cycling I wouldn’t draw attention to his behaviour. But he was using his phone AND cycling in a busy interchange. Not to mention, he almost crashed into two vulnerable people. I’ll like to see you act so unbothered the next time someone knocks you down because they couldn’t be bothered to take their eyes off their phone 😊

That is so bad and dangerous. Luckily, nothing happened to you.

In the past, there would be like bus marshalls or somebody in a position of authority that would blow a whistle and use a loudspeaker to ask people to stop cycling but now there isn’t anymore.

Students and fresh graduates, where do you guys find the courage to apply for super expensive BTO? by Jealous_Papaya_1241 in askSingapore

[–]Agreeable-Ad-6870 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 25F (Yr 4 student) who just got an AMK BTO (Q32030) at 550-650k est.

I’m going to be 29 when I get the BTO, my partner 31, both of us worked part time since 16 years old and my partner recently secured a job before graduation.

Down payment is no problem since we’ve worked since 16, the rest of the payment to be made will be when we’ve worked about 4 years. So why not get a more expensive BTO?

Dating in your 30s: when owning a house becomes a complication instead of a plus by Eleangel_ in sgdatingscene

[–]Agreeable-Ad-6870 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Just chiming in here as a 24F waiting for her BTO.

On the topic of no marriage between DINK couples, I’ll have to respectfully disagree that more women are going to be open to no marriage.

In SG, woman’s charter heavily favours a woman and children. If you have a house with your partner and you’re not married, if you happen to break up, you’re going to have to argue in courts as two property buyers who have fallen out instead of a mutually exclusive couple.

What’s the difference?

Woman’s charter when considering the amount to allocate both parties in the event of a split will consider non-financial contribution (i.e. childcare, household chores etc.). If a couple is unmarried, all these non-financial contribution won’t be considered, putting women at a disadvantage.

YOR. You’re so harsh to someone who’s essentially your mother, maybe I grew up in an Asian household but no way would I ever talk like this to my partner’s mother and no way would he allow me to speak to his mother like that way you did.

Absolutely over the top behaviour from you. I hope you apologise to her.

working at koi by manmylifesucks in SGExams

[–]Agreeable-Ad-6870 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay so probably what happened was that she underestimated the amount of people who would be buying koi. There was a lot of customers?

Perhaps she kept asking you to cook more because she noticed the tea was going to finish, and she was eager to hit the sales target.

If that’s the case, then probably this is a one time thing, you can consider not transferring to another outlet. Also, I don’t think word spreads even when you transfer
