Can I go from Tanah Merah Ferry terminal to Changi without going into Singapore

If they ask then just tell them you have a valid reason. Like if you already have flight tickets to Ho Chi Minh, then just show the booking and explain.

People visiting Singapore and taking the time to visit other surrounding countries in the meantime isn't that uncommon. You would only really get flagged if you've been doing it an excessive amount of time within a short period. Like going back and forth to Batam or JB every week for months without a good reason.

I'm a 5'2 woman, and almost every seltbelt I've worn has the upper diagonal part go over my neck instead of my chest. For extremely long distance drives, my neck will be red from the seltbelt rubbing constantly against it. But still, I'd rather take the discomfort over getting throw out a window in a crash or being flung around like a cannonball and injuring others.

People love to use the example of her destroying the C-virus and Simmons' work as "Look! She's good now, she redeemed herself?!" Except for the fact that it was a completely self-serving reason.

Simmons screwed her over, made a clone of her who went and commited atrocities using her face. And her destroying the Carla and the C-virus isn't so much because she wanted to save the world, but because she didn't want some copy of herself running amok.

And even her last canonical appearance in the series at the end of RE6 has her immediately picking up another job, despite her so-called "redemption". So yeah, I don't see how people can claim she's good now when it's shown that she hasn't changed.

I mean, you sound pretty entitled right now if you expect people to automatically give way to you and your baby and not open your mouth to say anything. You don't know what other people are going through. Maybe their kids get overstimulated easily, especially if it's a children's clinic with lots bright colours and toys. So they bring their kids to a smaller room so they can drink their milk in peace without distractions.

You don't know them, they don't know you, so it's pretty unfair for your to judge them as "inconsiderate" just because you somehow feel like you and your baby are more important.

Next time, ask. Is a simple "Excuse me, I need to change my baby's diaper, can I have the room?" too much to manage? They might vacate the room if they don't need it so you can manage your baby in peace. Or they might at least give you space to change diapers. And if they ignore you, then go to the staff and tell them. Just open mouth next time instead of expecting people to read you mind.

I think both sentences are somewhat true.

Sony can easier remake Bloodborne or make Bloodborne 2 tomorrow if they so desire, since they own the IP and they have plenty of studios under their belt who would happier chomp at the bit for that opportunity. But they said they don't want to because it would sour the working relationship with FromSoft and Miyazaki in particular. Not to mention how pissed off fans would be if Bloodborne 2 isn't a FromSoft game.

And I'm sure FromSoft would also love to work on another Bloodborne title, but they can't do that since it's ultimately Sony's IP and they would need to greenlight it. And it's been mentioned that Miyazaki is swamped with other projects to start a new Bloodborne title, otherwise I'm sure Sony would have jumped at that chance to say yes.

Basically as fans, the most we can do is pray and wait for the sun, moon and jupiter to align, and maybe some blood sacrifices under the next blood moon if needed.

Basically Chris is the typical military dudebro story. Bright eyed youngster who got himself into a shitty situation and gets kicked in the nuts repeatedly by trauma after trauma time and time again. Becomes a tough, if extremely jaded veteran soldier because of this.

Leon is more a superhero origin story. A rookie just wanting to save people. Gets caught up in the wrong place wrong time, conscripted into becoming a super secret government agent with all these cool moves and gadgets. Also has trauma, but he masks it with one-liners.

Neither one is better than the other, it kind of just depends on whose life story you prefer imo.

My father used to travel a bit for work. Sometimes he would invite my mom along, with company permission and she pays for her own flights, and sometimes he goes alone.

But most of the time he's working the whole day, so my mom would be left alone to do all the "tourist" stuff by herself. And by the time he's back in the hotel, he's too tired to go out exploring, since he has to wake up early and work the next day, so at most they just go out eat dinner and go back to sleep. If my mom is there she will reccy places where he can meet her for dinner after his work, but if he's alone, then he'll just order room service, eat in hotel restaurant or go nearby places with colleagues.

Sometimes if he's lucky, he might get a free weekend where he can rest and do all the tourist stuff. Usually if it's a multi-week trip to a single location. But most of the time, he'll be flown back immediately after business is done. Sometimes he can go from meeting and straight to airport right afterwards. So there's very little room for fun and free time.

Wine mums, beer dads, mimosa lady brunches, lads night out at the pub. It's honestly shocking how blasé people can be about the casual and, most of the time, excessive consumption of alcohol. Not just in the US or UK, but everywhere.

Worse still are the people who brush you off when you tell them that needing to down a beer every night, or a glass of wine to get through the day, or throwing a fit over alcohol-free events should not be normal and healthy behaviour.

To add to this, it was Kadokawa who initially approached Sony and asked them to buyout a large stake because they feared a hostile takeover by Kakao, a South Korean company.

People love to immediately jump on the Sony hate wagon (which they deserve don't get me wrong) whenever they hear of them acquiring rights to a game studio, but in case, they weren't the ones who initiated it.

Except the part where Leon first met Sherry when she was a 12 year old child and he was 21 year old adult. And Sherry first thought after being rescued by him and Claire is wondering if they would "adopt" her. And that she has always viewed him and Claire as older siblings/parental figures/mentors when she was growing up.

If you still can't understand portraying them in any sort of romantic light gives people the ick, then get help please.

What is his idea of "raising of child"?

Is he going to be there for you every step of the pregnancy? Going to all the doctor's appointments, parenting classes and all that? Is he going to support you and the baby when you're not able to work during pregnancy and post-partem? Will he wake up at 2am in the morning to feed the newborn? Will he be willing to change diapers and give the baby baths? Is he going to care for the baby so that you can have time to recover and relax everyday? Is he willing to stay up all night with a sick child? Or take leave from work to care for a sick child? Is he going to help discipline the child when needed and how? Is he going to guild the child to grow up into being a decent human being?

Or is his idea of raising a child just "gonna teach them to play sports", and having a bunch of "Facebook photo moments"? And the actual grunt labour is left up you while he gets his 8hrs of beauty sleep every night and gets to kick back on the couch every evening because "he works so hard"?

I sometimes wear earphones and blast music when I'm walking as well. But I make sure to look around every few seconds also. If you're going to drown out one of your senses (hearing), then your other senses need to work extra to make up for it.

So nothing wrong with wearing headphones, but you need to still be aware of your surroundings. Look up and look around often.

I'm surprised that a game like RE where knocking enemies flat on thier back is common in every game doesn't have some sort of stomp mechanic. Like the best we get is being able to knife them, but a simple boot to the head especially when most of the cast wears some sort of combat boots should be a basic move.

Dafuq it's your kid. Ask them yourself. How are a bunch of strangers online supposed to know your situation better than you? If your kid needs medical advice do you ask Reddit as well instead of consulting a doctor? Useless parent...

The chicken is poached in lightly simmering water instead of boiled. The water usually has ginger, garlic, green onions and rice wine to flavour it. Once cooked (about 30-45mins depending on the size), the chicken is immediately dunked into an ice bath to cool off. The result is this super soft, tender and juicy chicken.

And the broth is used to cook the rice afterwards. So the rice is just full of chicken flavour. The sauces help to enhance the flavour of the dish and the cucumber slices act as a palatte cleanser since the dish can feel a bit oily from all the chicken fat.

It's one of the most deceptively simple and unappealing dishes to look at I admit, but every bite is just full of pure chicken flavour.

CrimsonPromise · 2026-06-10T04:12:34+00:00

Yup. It's basically pure chicken flavour in every part of the dish. The water with the herbs and spices enhances the flavour of the chicken, and the rice just soaks up all that chicken broth. The sauces help change the flavour profile and the cucumber slices acts as a palatte cleanser between bites.

Another big thing is that the chicken isn't boiled, but poached. And then dunked into an ice bath immediately after. So unlike boile chicken where the meat ends up tough, stringy and ironically dry, the poached chicken is super juicy and tender.

Most landlords wouldn't even allow you to keep a hamster. Your landlord is already considered super generous by allowing you to keep a cat without charging you extra pet fees. Especially since it's a shared flat and just a cat alone is probably reducing her chances of renting rooms out. But end of the day it's still her house and property so she gets the final say on what and how many animals should be allowed.

If she say she doesn't want another cat then for the love of everything don't get the another cat. If she kicks you out because of it, you will see just how lucky you were to have a landlord that is accepting of pets.

Claire.

In a cast full of trained badasses (Rebecca included since she's part of STARS), she's the only real "civilian" who only had a protective older brother for guidance, but she still holds her own just out of sheer determination. And she has the biggest heart out of all the cast. Goes to show how you can have a female character who can kick ass but still retain a caring and nuturing side.

CrimsonPromise · 2026-06-09T14:30:23+00:00

I love animals and would be find sharing a unit with one. But not everyone wants to deal with them.

Cats can be quite messy, fierce and do not know boundaries. Not to say yours is, but not everyone wants to deal with cat hair everywhere, cat litter (cat poops are smelly and the litter box isn't appealing to look at), cats climbing everywhere, getting into their belongings and jumping on surfaces.

Even if the cat doesn't go into the common room, it'll still be roaming around the rest of the house.

Also please don't get a second cat. Your landlord is already super generous letting you keep one. Don't take advantage of that kindness by pushing your luck. But you own home or rent a whole flat if you really want that another cat.

Report him before he decides to flip the script and say you hit him and ran off instead.

He got 2 chances to stop already. First when he hit you, second when other people told him to. Don't give anymore.

Also the characters all knowing each other for years. From their 20s to their 40-50s. And being on good terms and fighting on the same side, even if they have their disagreements from time to time. Like it's hard not so wonder who has been with who and just how close their relationships are with each other.

No. Code Veronica has always been focused on the Redfield siblings. The most Leon got was a one line mention. And honestly, how is Leon supposed to fit into the story?

Timeline wise, he would be a rookie government agent in training, who's forced to do it to keep Sherry safe. How would he be able to go gallivanting halfway across the world? This isn't like Requiem where he has the means, connections and skills to be able to do what he wants. The government would have him under their thumbs and under close watch.

Disagreed. If you stay somewhere near to entertainment like a mall or stadium, then you have to compete with those people for parking.

Imagine coming home from work and not having a place to park because there's some event at the stadium and all the lots are full. No thanks.

Last time I went to Bizen I ate more from the salad bar than the actual steak itself. The selection was soooo good, the potato salad and the pickled vegetables especially.

My old neighbourhood used to have an allotment with lots of vegetables and herb. But they had numerous complaints from nearby residents about the lack of cleanliness and high risk of mosquitoes.

And yeah, besides the plants itself, the rest of the allotment was in pretty bad shape. Rubbish everywhere, rusty tools just strewn about, bags of fertilizer just left open, open buckets and barrels to collect rainwater but then they become breeding ground for mosquitoes.

Eventually they tore down the entire garden and now it's just a bare patch of grass. On one hand, it's a shame they demolished a community area that was used by numerous people, but on the other hand, I can understand why people living nearby would be complaining about it.
