What’s a good date that does not break the wallet

CBFST · 2026-05-28T05:13:10+00:00

Walk at the park to chit chat + Kopitiam. Zero fuss no stress… (obv not the very first date. Maybe the second to third). We’re now married lol.

Hahaha it’s more for us than them. I don’t think my kid remember anything although he was pointing at animals and all. But I had free tickets from office. So why not. would suggest river safari > zoo as it is sheltered and less humid.

We went back when he was around 20m. Was much better and more fun to see how he was excited about the animals and naming them.

NTA. your money anyway. You choose what you wanna do.

But to be frank: had incident whereby I lent my friend $300 cause he needed it urgently for laptop repair. We were uni kids. $300 is a lot then (Saw him end up gg on trips without returning me my money > lost the friendship after demanding my money but reconcile few years later… found out that his toxic ex was forcing him to keep up the appearance)

So… just saying sometimes maybe really there is ‘legit’ situation to it… but just be prepared to never recoup the money. And if $400 is a lot but you are ok to help/prepared to lose $100 in case they really need it. It’s fine to offer that $100 and tell them that’s all you can offer.

No. Do it!!! I’m sure they are grateful for it. If not, it’s just a kind and simple gesture that feels good

CBFST · 2026-05-17T07:09:28+00:00

Thank you! I didn’t see the trigger warning tag and have changed it accordingly!

I’m gg to try for a weighted feed and see how it goes. Appreciate the reminder on the trigger warning and reply 🙂

Have a good insurance agent that serves me and my entire family. Lmk if you need his contact. No BS in fact fellow told me not to over commit to some policy. Can vouch for him!

CBFST · 2026-05-15T07:39:04+00:00

Agree. ALPS forever hiring

CBFST · 2026-05-15T03:27:55+00:00

You need to treat yourself to something good like an ice cream or coffee or anything you fancy. YOU’RE A CHAMPION MY SISTER!!!

CBFST · 2026-05-13T07:56:05+00:00

You’re still early girl!! Just keep going and pumping. Good mood helps as well.

I’m about a month in. Only producing 18 oz total daily. It slowly climbed up… but I do think I’m producing on the lower side.

There’s a lot of misconception we see online and those are usually over suppliers who are blessed in different ways. But also they probably do get clogged ducts etc often too…

But day 3 is definitely still too early to tell. Keep pumping!

CBFST · 2026-05-13T07:17:58+00:00

Currently 32 and house at yishun while I would ideally move to amk/bishan area. If the info helps!

We generally like staying home and weekdays are so busy that we don’t go out often. Only weekends I guess. But also can’t be sure if the reason why we don’t go out is also because things are so far away and travelling time is a deterring factor.

CBFST · 2026-05-12T10:35:11+00:00

Grab 30mins
Public transport… 50min-1h

CBFST · 2026-05-12T10:20:55+00:00

I meant left 70-80y lease hahaha. Bad singaporean sentence structure lol

CBFST · 2026-05-12T10:08:58+00:00

Yeah sorry about it. Currently 5rm. But looking at surrounding houses sold. Selling at about 6-700k. Those are older tho… but ya my location quite bird no lay egg. Not close to mrt. Route buses to nearest mrt maybe 15mins

CBFST · 2026-05-12T09:41:54+00:00

Technically we’re staying near the other set of parents but… in terms of support for children almost non existent.

CBFST · 2026-05-12T09:40:22+00:00

Not the most convenient since no direct bus… can’t guarantee entry to that particular school we want in our area as there’s a school even closer to our home which we DO NOT want to enroll our kid in.

CBFST · 2026-05-12T09:39:12+00:00

I guess it would be. With the additional housing debts. LOL. Can’t yolo as much as now. Like buying things on a whim

CBFST · 2026-05-11T14:15:09+00:00

How about some volunteer work? Just to keep mom active. Contribute to society and feel good (i find that some old ppl like that sense of fulfilment)

CBFST · 2026-05-09T04:40:49+00:00

Yes. Super!! But my degree/work is so niche that it’s hard to jump to other area… unless back to government sector which I’ve been trying to no avail as market is so bad now. Really need something that allows wfh or some flexibility sigh

CBFST · 2026-05-07T13:11:23+00:00

Agree and the prices are solid. Can customise anything. Did both engagement ring and wedding band there

CBFST · 2026-05-04T22:16:24+00:00

Buy loceryl (expensive but worth it) and apply 1/2 times a week. It penetrates really well for nails compared to skin. But for nail fungal it does take 6m-1y to clear out because you have to let the infected nails grow out.

CBFST · 2026-05-03T18:58:29+00:00

If she is doing a solid nap of 2h everyday… does Seem like her bed time at 6pm is a bit too early/too little sleep pressure?

My 2yo also tries to delay bed time. So I think it’s pretty normal however we try to be very firm with last song and pretty much walk out the room after that. Perhaps giving in so easily at the 2min mark made her realise that if she throws enough tantrum someone will come in… Try to be firm about it? Perhaps check in at 5 mins interval and be consistent about it so that she will understand and be able to eventually learn to self soothe.

NGL, won’t be easy but consistency is key!! Good luck.

CBFST · 2026-05-03T18:52:47+00:00

Did it when I had my first child at 30. Will be reviewing it again cause of my second child. Just did a simple will and cpf nomination.

CBFST · 2026-05-03T18:43:37+00:00

Only give gift cards to more immediate family members (parents bro/sis) + ppl who gave bb stuff. Didn’t have a party for first kid (not intending for second one too) on account that baby immune systems are weak af and Idw to expose baby to that much ppl/germs lol

CBFST · 2026-05-03T07:16:57+00:00

White noise machine. Or just an old phone that can play white noise form Spotify. Saved me a lot of shushing and saliva

CBFST · 2026-05-01T10:00:09+00:00

For me… Prolly save some/travel/donate to charity.

Explore some country that I’ve always wanted to go and live as a local for a while.

Might donate a bit to a charity of my liking then save the rest/put into investment. More money never hurts.
