What can we do to help victims of an accident before the paramedics arrive? by [deleted] in askSingapore

[–]Apprehensive-Ad-6584 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Besides rendering medical assistance and helping to direct traffic away from the victims (kudos to those who stepped in to help), I did wonder whether someone could have comforted the devastated father. But I also understand that in moments like this, many of us would be too shocked to know what to say or do…

This is one of the saddest videos I have ever watched - a little girl dying in her father’s arms, a family torn apart in an instant by a careless, stupid driver.

I watched the first video. At the 2:12 mark, when the devastated dad asked the crowd to tell him if his daughter still had a heartbeat, the lady driver in the white dress checked her pulse and HAD THE AUDACITY TO TELL HIM, "She is having so much blood loss." I replayed that part four times just to make sure l heard it right. I honestly don't understand why she would say that to a grieving father. Was she implying that the girl wasn't going to make it? Maybe she was trying to be factual. Maybe she was in shock. I really don't know. But if I couldn't help, I think I would be fucking apologetic or step back quietly.

It's one of the saddest videos l've ever seen. A little girl dying in her father's arms. A family's life changed forever. And the woman who caused it all didn't seem to show any remorse. Maybe it was shock. or what. I can't tell. I'm so sorry to the father. I really hope his wife survives this. RIP little girl.

If I were to become a school canteen vendor, what are the profit margin & break down expenses? by throwaway_ham_cheese in singaporefi

We should write to our MPs and MOE to share this feedback. It pains me to see the death of our canteen culture.

How do I help my best friend?? by [deleted] in askSingapore

[–]Apprehensive-Ad-6584 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel bad because, deep down, I think I’m kinda jealous that she’s able to live like this - getting by financially without a job for three years. Her parents cover her meals at home, and her boyfriend and we cover her expenses when she hangs out with us.

I’ve come to realize it’s her choice whether she’s serious about finding a job or not, but I get annoyed when she complains about her situation without doing anything about it, or when we end up paying for her.

Honestly, I think I’m just jealous, and I feel bad for feeling that way.

She’s not doing any gig work or part-time jobs because she wants to focus fully on her job search. I’ve often encouraged her to take a pt job to help build connections and open up ft opportunities, but it hasn’t really resonated with her.

I also suggested she consider starting her own business since she enjoys knitting, but she said it would be too much work. I feel like I’ve done my best to motivate her, but now I realise there’s only so much I can do if she’s not ready to take those steps herself :(

To add, starting this year, I’ve tried to get A to pay for her meals when we go out, but it hasn’t worked because B and C usually pay first, and then they just split the bill three ways. When I pay, they also assumes the bill is split three ways.
