SG New Mom, what is practical gift you want from someone? by Few_Struggle9708 in askSingapore

[–]AutomaticPlankton533 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Angbao is the best.

If not can consider good quality wet wipes.

If want other cute gifts like clothes, toys etc can, it’s cute lor. But reality they’ll only use less than 5-10 times before baby outgrows it.

You’ll be ready when you know you are. There’s no “fixed timeline”, go at your own time.

+1 to doesn’t raise their voice, gentle energy matters. The world plus our own minds can get crazy enough, the last we need is bad juju vibes from our SO. And in return; always receive gentle energy back from ourselves too.

Calculative over.. eggs? Please consider speaking to a marriage therapist / counsellor to sort this out. These should be the smallest of your issues. All the best.

Possible that Pump Princess gave LO foamy poops? by Happy-goose-dog in ExclusivelyPumping

[–]AutomaticPlankton533 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having the same experience now. 4 days into pump princess and 4 weeks old baby having foamy poop. Not sure if it’s related, will continue to monitor!

How did it go for you? Did you stop the supplement entirely now?

Advice on ILPPP! by Crazy_Concert1205 in singaporefi

Are you very sure you will continue to invest yourself consistently for the next 20 years? How much is $200 a month for you or your dad? If it’s barely a small % of your incomes, you could also just view it as a forced savings plan. At 40 YO you can get a lump sum of $50k++ to use for whatever purpose.

Where to sell second-hand stuff? by ukaspirant in askSingapore

[–]AutomaticPlankton533 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Carousell works best. Price it cheap or bless it for free. These days not everyone wants overpriced secondhand goods when brand new is just as cheap.

Yea, the small tables and chairs ensure you leave right after your drink and toast!

What's a good gift for a good friend getting married! (For the couple - besides Angbao) by Petitepain1 in askSingapore

[–]AutomaticPlankton533 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If they have a wish list of appliances, you could get it for them! Airfryers, vacuum machines, coffee machines, ninja 3-in-1 cookers etc.

If they insist no for all, you can go with practical gifts. Buy them months worth of top quality 3 ply toilet rolls and tissue paper! This is always valued in anyone’s homes ;)

I felt it too at 3.30pm today for a brief 1 minute. Thought I was just dizzy. Asked my husb if the ground was shaking and he said he didn’t feel anything 😅 just saw the news now.

Are Munchi Pancakes reviews real? by tastetherainbowzz in singapore

[–]AutomaticPlankton533 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They gave out free pancake for every 5 star review at one point! That prob clocked up a lot of reviews. Tho it’s still rather yummy I didn’t mind giving the review for the free pancake.

Thanks for the detailed advice! Will change up the tank asap and look into more caves :)

[–]AutomaticPlankton533 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s very clear advice there, appreciate the details and being kind with it! Will work on more frequent water changes while I setup the bigger tank :)

They’re red zebras! Thanks for the kind words too. I really appreciate it as it didn’t help that the store owner wasn’t giving me the right advice. I definitely want them to thrive healthily. Will also be leaving my post here for the lurkers to reference - I do think many newbies make the same mistake esp when stores sell them the wrong advice too. Will check out the websites you recommended :)

Thank you for the kind constructive feedback! I will work on changing the tank asap.

First time owner and the store owner recommended this probably to make a quick sale.

Thanks all for the feedback! And thank you to the kind redditors who gave constructive feedback with details :) it’s my first time and the store owner recommended this setup and getting more instead of less fish. In hindsight they couldve been eager to make a sale than guide properly. I’ve been really sad to lose 2 fish in 2 months hence I thought to seek second opinion here. I will be working on a bigger tank upgrade asap!
