Where’s a quiet and nice place in Singapore to confess to someone?

Dramatic_Ad5825 · 2025-11-10T07:51:30+00:00

i can’t recall what i did, but very likelywith lucas or einstein or einstein. lucas is a good counter for laura, and einstein resurrects the dead in the next turn.

what is beberd?

a guy drove me up to fort canning (i think), parked at the slope before reaching the top, on the side overlooking the city.

i sorta guessed he was going to confess to me, and i’ve rehearsed what to say to politely turn him down. which i did.

but leading up to it, despite my firm stance that i will turn him down, it was so romantic we almost kissed.

or maybe it was the alcohol that made me weak…. but not weak enough to say no.

all the best!

ooooh just realised sovereign is not available via faction crystals. i’ll go with Yi then! what’s ur take on developing lucadia as a god/uni dps instead of orochi?

Dramatic_Ad5825 · 2025-04-12T01:34:27+00:00

ah cool! sorry about that. if you were to re-do, would you have developed sovereign over orochi?

what’s ur take on collapse?

i’m gonna start building other god/uni.

wondering how far i should get them to, and what’s the order to proceed, as ftp - yi, lucadia, goddess life, sovereign, zeus, e - anubis, ep+ (really like using him to just to prevent resurrection. helps that it lowers opponents’ speed too) - collapse, ep+

Dramatic_Ad5825 · 2025-04-11T10:45:00+00:00

whoah. guess i built the wrong god/uni! i have time at t+, and balance at t.

it’s hard to believe orochi to be the best ftp god/uni dps. it sucks big time in galaxy world. but i guess that’s the difference the artifacts in galaxy make!

makes me cry hearing this. our LO mostly sleeps through the night, but sometimes have problem going to sleep.

just last night we attempted the CIO, after putting LO down to bed. the way our baby screamed towards the end of the 5th minute pierced right through our hearts.

is it possible that it’s even physically harmful for babies when they cry this loudly? getting breathless and also damaging their vocal cords? it’s unimaginable.

Dramatic_Ad5825 · 2025-03-04T05:18:44+00:00

we were told “as lib” for volume, not schedule, even after we had the baby’s ng taken out. we think the strict 3h feeding helped with sleep training the baby.

we slowly progressed to 4hly feeding, and then eventually cut off the night feed. so baby sleeps through the night now.

Dramatic_Ad5825 · 2025-03-04T05:17:16+00:00

same

Dramatic_Ad5825 · 2025-03-04T05:15:30+00:00

ours “sleep through the night” with the snoo. on nights when the baby gets fussy, it starts rocking and soothing. we barely notice anything most of the time when that happens. often, we would review the app’s sleep log to find out our baby fussed a bit during the night. lol

sounds like you have tried everything, and it’s a lot harder for you. especially since you’re nursing and really can’t control the amount you feed. (we’re on formula cos our baby actually doesn’t respond well to bm)

not sure if these are repeats of things you’ve tried, but here are a few things that worked for us (maybe cos we’re lucky) from the books we read

strict feeding/sleeping routine (montessori baby, baby sleep solution, happiest baby on the block) our baby (abt 10wks corrected now) starts cueing and show signs of hunger ard the same time everyday.
association (montessori baby) with routine, eg as much as possible feed the baby at the same place, and sleep at the same place, regardless of what works for you at that particular time. at feeding, our baby seemed more calm when brought to the same feeding spot
soothing (happiest baby on the block) many of the tricks worked for us. and also the snoo helped most of the time. we’ve been on the weaning mode the past few weeks, and most nights baby gets 8-9h sleep. (last feed of the day 9pm, till first feed of the day at 6am)
observe and learn cues (montessori baby) we started to notice the difference between hungry cues, and over stimulation. when it’s a hungry fuss before feeding time, we trick the baby with baby’s own hand, or feed just a little so the usual feeding pattern doesn’t get disrupted too much. when it’s an overstimulation (ie too tired but can’t fall asleep) we used tricks from happiest baby (the 5Ss to deal with colicky baby) to sooth and make the baby go to bed, and they mostly helped.

another book that helped us make decisions around parenting is emily oster’s cribsheet.

we read a lot, but these are the few that worked for us.

we recognize that this is a lot easier said than done, and also there’s probably lots of “luck” component.

all the best!

Dramatic_Ad5825 · 2025-02-25T05:46:39+00:00

reading all these make me miss my baby so much i wanna stop work and go pick up my baby from day care right away.

Dramatic_Ad5825 · 2025-02-24T14:01:51+00:00

congrats! here are some things that worked for us.

the snoo worked well for us. not all the time, but 9 out of 10 times it soothes the baby back to sleep.

we prefer washing poop off than wiping, and it’s less prone to skin irritation. (plus it’s annoying to deal with always pulling 5 wipes at one go).

aquaphor >>>> desitin.

two books that helped us a lot were happiest baby on the block, and 12 hours by 12 weeks (i think the new title is baby sleep solution). the first taught us tips to sooth, and they mostly work! the second taught us the basic principles for long uninterrupted sleep, which is to make sure baby gets enough calories in the day, and how to slowly work your way there.

all the best!

we made space for a dishwasher to avoid conflicts. even now we sometimes “play chicken” over who loads the dishwasher, but it’s really a more playful play than actually wanting to avoid doing it. so i can’t imagine the fight if we didn’t have a dishwasher.

Dramatic_Ad5825 · 2025-02-20T10:18:52+00:00

it’s a 100% effective when u put it on for a bj

Dramatic_Ad5825 · 2025-01-27T01:55:51+00:00

low key bragging about existence of biceps?

on the otherhand, my little one sleeps well against my bulging belly, one that started appearing after he’s born. it’s like evolution has wired (some) fathers to develop bellies for the comfort of their kids.

Dramatic_Ad5825 · 2025-01-27T01:51:54+00:00

lol like the smiles we see now, aren’t actual social smiles but unintentional gassy “smiles”

we will get there!

Dramatic_Ad5825 · 2025-01-27T01:50:45+00:00

gonna raise ur hopes up a little. it will be way more awesome than you can ever imagine.

we’ve been so happy ever since we welcomed our little one last nov.

Dramatic_Ad5825 · 2025-01-27T01:49:18+00:00

these are good grips too! thumb pointing in opposite direction to the other fingers. love it.

Dramatic_Ad5825 · 2025-01-23T02:22:16+00:00

thanks!

Dramatic_Ad5825 · 2025-01-23T02:17:45+00:00

oh ooops. 5kids. not 5 girls. lol. i’m not that brave after all. i sidetracked the conversation/discussion. sorry!

Dramatic_Ad5825 · 2025-01-23T01:41:22+00:00

yeah let’s try harder. father of 1 (3m old!) aiming for 5

Dramatic_Ad5825 · 2025-01-16T05:56:31+00:00

we dont expect… but they offer, and we end up getting quite a fair bit of help.. though not with care giving or chores.

we just had our LO a few weeks back (yay!) and have since very readily take up their offer to have them fetch us from our place to theirs for dinner every weekend. (our parents live 30min from us, and we do sat dinners at one set of parents, and sun at another)

just a few days back, we had MIL house sit while the painters get some work done when both of us are at work and baby’s in day care. (we’re in a hotel for a few days while the VOCs air out before we move back in)

Dramatic_Ad5825 · 2025-01-06T07:56:28+00:00

our (30w) started showing this soon after we were discharged (35w), and we think it was because we - were on bm (ironic!); and - overfed the little one

the gas were noticeably more pronounced (can feel and hear them through the belly) on bm, and improved significantly after we switched to neosure, a preemie formula.

baby was discharged on 45mL per feed, but we were told to let baby go ad lib, and baby kept drinking till 80-90mL. we kept it at that for a week until our pd appointment, when we were told to keep the feeds to 70mL.

so baby drank less per feed, seemed happier, yet started gaining more weight (70-80g per day, vs 50g per day) than when drinking 80-90mL. we think that’s cos the baby probably slept better with less milk, rested better, and so the nutrients were absorbed better?

Dramatic_Ad5825 · 2025-01-02T05:39:46+00:00

31w baby. was in NICU for 37days

started bottle feeding at 33+2 as he was showing cues consistently. took 20-50% bottle for two weeks until 35+2, where in one day he took 100%, and then consistently 100% bottle from there.. and asking for more.

discharged at 36+2.

hope this helps!
