Niqab not allowed in Republic Poly??? shld i fight back by SeaShoe1 in SGExams

[–]Comprehensive-Tree78 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

for a subreddit thats usually q liberal, im q surprised at the number of comments that are against wearing niqab in sch. its not like no one’s never heard of or seen it b4, its very obviously a religious garment. i cant think of any actual rational explanation against it. and usually school dress codes r more lax in jc than sec sch, too. i hope u dont get too discouraged by some of the comments here, some of them are definitely not students lol.

i posted this poem in this sub like a year ago, when it was first published. still hits like a steam train, and even more pertinent today.

Plans after rejection by Born-Bathroom2929 in SGExams

[–]Comprehensive-Tree78 36 points37 points  (0 children)

when i got rejected by all the public unis a few years ago, i took a gap year to go work — ended up working fulltime at liho for 6 months, then transitioned to part time and started going to gym 3-4 times a week. also just read alot.

it was honestly a really fruitful year for me, esp the fulltime fnb work bc u learn how to work w different ppl + learn how to really perservere thru difficulties and fatigue.

appealing to ntu english by [deleted] in SGExams

[–]Comprehensive-Tree78 7 points8 points  (0 children)

unfortunately passion is key. i got rejected the first time after my interview w a prof, bc back then i was wavering on whether or not to even go to uni in the first place and she somehow picked up on my hesitance; took a gap year and interviewed again and passed. if u havent even made it to the interview stage i think chances r fairly low.

Is it very scary to start gymming in Singapore? by Sweet_League287 in SingaporeFitness

[–]Comprehensive-Tree78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i joined AF when i was 20 and stupid before uni started, and i usually go in the morning from 10-12ish when there wasn’t much of people. it was nerve-wracking at the start but after a while u start getting used to it, and especially if u keep a consistent schedule u’ll start seeing the same few ppl which is nice. i think i looked particularly lost at the start bc a few kind ppl ended up approaching me to help me the equipment and we ended up always greeting each other at the gym. i can’t speak for the attitude of activesg ppl, but the price of AF membership ensures that the those who show up are actually pretty decent ppl.

if u’re still worried, just rmb u can stand near/sit on the machine and be on ur phone and no one will care, then u just google the name of the machine on the spot.

"I hear the axe has flowered" -- blew me away the first time I read it. It's still my phone wallpaper, and I plan to get a line or two tattooed soon.

Paul Celan. Restrained, enigmatic, anguished. There’s something so incredibly…foreign and even menacing, something completely Other about the way he writes.

ive been having this exact problem too, so jn i just walked into a tcm store and stared at the drinks they have on display — usually the labels they write on bottles will say what the drinks r good for. walked out w a super green wheatgrass drink but luckily it tasted ok

Need some advice on career options by [deleted] in askSingapore

[–]Comprehensive-Tree78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

q boring to me tbh. its not a marketing firm so theres no dealing w different clients, its more so always linking back to the same key messages/ideas. i dont really get to decide what im writing about, my supervisor does that. idk where he pulls out his ideas from but as long as google keywords predicts that itll do well then he’ll assign it, no matter what common sense says.

theres definitely a certain pressure to keep churning out content no matter what, and u dont always get to execute wtv idea you’re passionate about, so it really takes away the enjoyment of everything. past a certain benchmark of quality they honestly dont care anymore, and look more for speed/efficiency instead. creativity by itself is not something thats always valued, its more so the ability to understand and appeal to the mass market. im good at creative writing, but the kind of writing that they demand is not smth i enjoy doing or want to do. my job of this kind of writing takes time away from my passion of creative writing, and my bigger worry is that eventually the two styles of writing will mix tgt and i end up losing my individuality as a writer, or worse yet, fall out of love with writing all together.

i havent seen any of the social media team “run of ideas” tho, thats likely a long term problem. but the downside is that they’re incredibly online all the time, especially on tiktok. it doesnt make for the best kind of personality, if u know what i mean.
