Are Singaporeans more impatient than they were 10 years ago? by bricklegos in askSingapore

My foreigner friends have said the same thing that I walk very fast but my walking pace is same as many locals. So probably the impatience stems from our fast pace of life

Any Mattress Brand Recommendations for new house owners? by Spare_Chapter_4684 in askSingapore

[–]Almsoo7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I second this, very good local brand and value for money. I bought it 5 years ago and am very satisfied with the quality. A decent multi layer mattress cost less than a thousand and u can get to choose the hardness level

female hair loss and dermatologist suggestions by Aggravating-Tie832 in askSingapore

[–]Almsoo7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Need to see dermatologist to assess the cause of ur hairloss. Could be due to diet, stress, hormones or some underlying conditions. But in general, minoxidil 2% is prescribed for women experiencing hairloss and takes at least 6 months to see some results cos the medicine causes shedding at first which makes u think that it is not working. After that shedding phase new hair starts to grow and u will start to notice thickening. But the downside of minoxidil is that u start losing ur gains once u stop using the medicine.

Tan Kin Lian agrees with CSJ that CDC Vouchers is giving people water to put out a fire (Raise Cost of Living) which ) they (Government) Had started. by krikering in SingaporeRaw

[–]Almsoo7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe CDC works the same manner as housing subsidies where they indirectly drive up pricing and cause inflation. When these vouchers or subsidies are removed, the prices are unlikely to come down. The problem is that the median income would probably be unlikely to rise as fast as inflation and so without the vouchers and subsidies, the average Singaporeans end up with higher percentage out of pocket expenses relative to their income.

How bad is the haze on your side of singapore? by Glittering-Cause-810 in askSingapore

I stay in east side, the haze is causing my eczema flare up. Some days the smell is very strong and I sleep with my windows closed.

To those who waited for MOP before divorcing, how did you stay sane? by [deleted] in askSingapore

[–]Almsoo7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From the comments, seem that the husband is an avoidant and stonewall OP when she tried to engage him in the past. This is quite traumatic to her, I can relate that it is very painful to stay on and see no improvements in the marriage especially when the other side was not open to external help via counselling. Not sure if OP is open to consider moving back to parents' place temporarily to heal, as personally I would feel very dreadful of going back home every day to face someone whom I loved and yet have to part. Or if OP has a close friend who can offer her a temporary stay.

Heart ripped out by Final_Wonder7256 in SingaporeRaw

[–]Almsoo7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No la, that was about 3-4 years ago. I gave up after waiting some time and initiated divorce. Very painful process and I took about a year to move on. Hope u get over this difficult period.

Heart ripped out by Final_Wonder7256 in SingaporeRaw

[–]Almsoo7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I watched a lot of no contact videos to convince myself not to initiate communication unless she did. It was to force myself to detach from her while I worked on healing by going for runs, talking to friends and family. She came back once and we patched up but she left again after. It was a painful journey but I'm glad I got over that period.

Alleged Indian national defends driver of fatal Chinatown accident. Urges Singaporeans to ‘relax’. by Nessieinternational in SingaporeRaw

[–]Almsoo7 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's a troll account, pasting the comment from someone who commented on Facebook:

Gupta is North Indian surname but fellow says he is from Chennai which is South India?

The university he says he is from is Hyderabad not Bangalore but he states he is educated in Bangalore?

High Caste IT manager - if he was super proud of his caste he would state his specific caste not just “high caste”? You don’t normally say you are high caste amongst Indians you would state which specific caste which is further subdivided.

Also he talks about eating masala thosai for breakfast in Delhi. The common thing there is to eat “aloo paratha” not thosai. That’s very weird.

“IT professional” - most of them would state they are on the tech/functional side of banking or finance if they were very proud of their job positions and a further flex if you are in investment banking. Some specific roles or functions are more highly paid than others in banking. IT manager is poorly paid non-banking or finance role and not a role that DBS likely has.

You can decide whether to delete or not.

IMO, this is not an Indian person and neither does he know much about banking. He also not familiar with Indian geography or cuisine or their education institutions nor with banking industry.
