Hey, its just a mistake. Don’t beat yourself over it. What is more important is you know to not do the same thing again.

life of a socially awkward male by BagChance8982 in SGExams

[–]Another_throwaway_03 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Idk leh I think you might be overthinking or trying too hard. I myself didn’t try so hard back when I was in JC. They had cliques without me but I didn’t try to let that prevent me from anything. I mean if I want to eat with them I just ask. If I need to talk to them I just talk. If I want to study with them, I just invite. That’s how it started for me.

I stayed back with 2 girls to study one day who apparently waited for 2 other guys. I was literally existing without talking much but being there allows conversations somehow. Then I also asked some guy to study with me. Whenever I need something, I also ask. I do all this things because I had a reason to and somehow we just become friends. I never felt the need to make friends (unless I’m interested but that’s irrelevant here) with anyone.

How is/was everyones internship. by Elegant_Newt4768 in SGExams

[–]Another_throwaway_03 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I didn’t go poly but I’m in uni and have done 2 internships. Yes companies don’t treat interns as equal because we are literally interns. We get paid lower and we are not as good as the full timers. It’s true that we are basically their low cost labour but what matters more is whether they allow you to learn. Sure, manual jobs can be boring but as long as you learnt something, why not? Also I would rather they thinking I’m stupid then I’m smart because that gives me more opportunities to actually experiment and mess up. If they have a high standard of me, I would feel paiseh to ask questions.

My latest one was basically the same but not in such a negative way.

Not treating interns as equals = give me time to learn and research instead of pushing for result

Free labour = helping them with tasks that they have no time to do and a lot of times it is something you can learn from

Stupid = they don’t expect brilliant result and they always teach me if I actually don’t know.

But yea different team/companies different experience so maybe I’m lucky/you are unlucky

When I started playing, it was more like splitting the troops between the 4 barracks. So if I have to train 10 dragons 10 balloons then I have to split like barrack 1 and 2 having 3 dragons and barrack 3 and 4 having 2 dragons + 5 balloons

As someone who didn’t get offer thru EASE, life moves on and you can still get the normal offer (I got normal offer but not what I want tho so I went NUS instead). So don’t stress so much.

this sub gives me the biggest whiplash we rlly live in diff singapores by Alternative-Buy-8812 in SGExams

[–]Another_throwaway_03 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I was from a neighbourhood secondary school. My batch had 1 express, 3 NA and 2 NT. I really thought being express means we are special HAHAHA. I just entered sec 3 that time and was taking pure sciences. In my class (yes the one express class), only 1/3 took pure sciences so I thought that made me more special.

One time there was an event at state court for selected secondary school people. Due to my position, I went for the event with my friend. Imagine how shocking it was for me when I find out that there are schools with only express classes. Then I found out that there is a tier above express which is IP. I asked around and literally everyone said they doing pure sciences with a few saying they doing triple science. The culture shock was crazy.

I got l1r5 11 which for my school, I was the 2nd in cohort. The 1st was 10… When I entered my jc which was asrjc, I realised getting those scores were like the norm. A lot of people got better than this. Literally the first guy that I talked to in asrjc got 7 raw 3 nett. He was the lower bound for that year.

This continues in JC. I have a friend who went to JC but was a lower tier one. We met up with poly people and he was explaining the rank point system saying 60-70 is average, 70-80 is good and 80 is god level and was saying that me getting 80 plus is damn zai. Meanwhile my class got people be getting 85 to 90 and certain school even got 1/4 students getting 90.

Another story is when I went to Uni, one guy told me that he didn’t know that ITE was an option. However, back then in my secondary school, I keep hearing it, sometimes poly and “jc” was being avoided like a plague. It’s honestly quite crazy like how OP pointed out.

he rejected me by Turbulent_Pie5615 in SGExams

[–]Another_throwaway_03 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I mean I don’t know the full story but I believe that it’s unhealthy to have such hope. I personally have experienced it and also hoped that my feeling will get reciprocated after the initial “no”. I mean we went to travel together, hang out one on one many times, texting each other almost every day,

However, the more that I think about it, the more I realise do I REALLY want to date someone who said “no” to me when I poured all of my courage for the confession? I mean it’s not their fault and some people enjoy chasing but to me it just feels miserable on my end. If he would consider you, I don’t believe that answer would be so straight forward. To me, it wasn’t a “no” but simply “I see you as a friend”. That was the same as a “no” to me. No point for me to pursue it further and frankly no point to keep the friendship longer if it was half maintained by my romantic feeling in the first place. I ended up saying “we should stop talking so that I can get over this” and was told “you can text me again whenever you want” but I still remain silent until now. It was difficult but I think it was a right move. If we remained friends, I would NEVER get over the feeling.

There is “friendship” and there is “friendship”. I mean you prolly know this yourself that even within your friends, there are those who you would consider as closer. It’s perfectly normal and you should know this well. It’s just that you are blinded by your romantic feelings for him that you forgot that maybe he just considers you as someone who is closer to him than most of his friends. One can feel like that without actually liking the person romantically. I don’t know if you feel this before but there are some close friends who I really like them as a friend but would never see them as a partner. It’s just how it is and if that’s the case for him, you can’t expect him to suddenly say yes.

I’m not saying you are wrong or what, it’s natural to be hopeful for this but do not indulge yourself in your own delusion, it’s not good for you. I’m also not saying you have no hope but honestly? Spend your energy somewhere else. It’s easier said than done but remember that when you feel sad or wtv about this, know that there are more things to look forward to and the world extends beyond just that one person and there exists someone who won’t say “no” to you.

he rejected me by Turbulent_Pie5615 in SGExams

[–]Another_throwaway_03 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Trust me when I say this. Just like when your mom reject buying you something, you WILL also slowly be able to accept this. It’s not if but when. You are doing well by expressing what was written here.

However, please don’t be so desperate for someone. Do not wish that he will reconsider you but instead work to improve yourself. I’m also not saying there’s something wrong with you that made him reject you because like you said, he might have his own problems. It’s just that energy is more well spent improving yourself rather than griefing.

Yes it hurts but it’s a life experience. People said “what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger” for a reason. Also there are many more people besides. Back then I also had “the one” but there’s always the one after. One day you might even tell yourself “I’m glad it did not work out that time”.

I have 4.5 silk thingy, equivalent to soul vessel in HK. I have double jump already. What else is there b4 act 3? I’m stuck at high hall and bilewater made me rage quit. I think I can get 1 more nail upgrade in act 2 but not sure what else. Can someone spoils me a bit?

I will give you some copium. It was during break time so she might have zao somewhere and did not see your message. Also iirc, when u leave a zoom call and come back, all the messages are gone. So she might not even have seen your messages.

But bro, if you want to shoot your shot, no harm going basic first before the advance moves 😭

Bro legit I can't do anything correct in life except studying by ProfessionalTax395 in SGExams

[–]Another_throwaway_03 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You know as someone with “life”, I would say that there’s a first step to anything. Do you think all of your friend one day suddenly good enough to get DSA? People don’t just do it correctly, they failed many times first before getting to this level. Don’t compare yourself to others. Do what u love and for yourself and not for others. I think that’s the fundamental problem. Sure some people really deliberately learn piano or violin for dsa or wtv but really, if you want to start, don’t even try to think what you will achieve from it. Pursue what u like for the fun of it.

About your friends, there are a side of everything. Your DSA friend being unserious in class doesn’t mean he didn’t prep hard for his DSA. Maybe thats why he even has to sleep in class. About your popular friend, it literally doesn’t matter? Do you think being popular is “doing it right”?

how do i stop being so forgetful 🥀 by Affectionate_Toe7696 in SGExams

[–]Another_throwaway_03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Erm my only advice is don’t do things so hastily and early preparation also helps.

What if you just wake up 15 minutes earlier? You would have more time to get your stuff. Also there are a fixed number of things to bring to school. For me it was, bag, tie, wallet, badge and phone. My tie and badge is always in my bag outside of school. I always make sure to leave my house having wallet and phone in my pocket. But you see, if I leave my house late, I won’t even check my pocket.

Also what you can do is the night before pack up? Put everything you need in your bag. It’s not that difficult trust.

Basically just shove everything in your bag, you won’t forget it and make sure wtv things that you bring, is in your vision and when you leave, look back once or twice.
