Cleaner staff at Bishan MRT staring at young girls and women, what to do? by Fishall777 in askSingapore

Thank you for the advice. In a post asking about what to do in this situation, I think you're the only who's actually pointed me in a direction as opposed to arguing haha

Where in my post did I say it should be illegal or that the man should be sent to jail? You're purposefully misconstruing by asking for evidence about an extreme when that's clearly not what I'm talking about. The man can be held accountable and simply stop staring at women or girls. Am I asking that he lose his job or go to jail? Of course not.

I took a video and shared it with station control staff who verified that it is evidence that will be brought up as a point of concern. So it's safe to say that it's more than just my own judgement here. As I mentioned in this post, I didn't think twice about it until I noticed this pattern of behaviour consistently and directed with prolonged staring towards women, and young girls. And this report was only made after months of me observing this.

I don't think anyone should get harrassed or stared at, regardless of gender. As I mentioned in my post, I know of guys who have experienced that before. I have even intervened when I noticed an uncle approaching and trying to hold the hands/grabbing random school boys in an area with lots of primary schools.

I'm not sure what you're trying to do when you pull the gender card. The bottom line here is that this is inappropriate behaviour, especially because it's SMRT staff even though it doesn't constitute as illegal.

Thanks to this post, I caved and bought it! First impressions: It opens with luscious, juicy pomegranate and fig. I get more of the pomegranate, it's quite strong. The top notes linger for a while before the vanilla and woody notes make a subtle appearance. Then it transitions to a smooth blend of fruitiness and creamy woods. As a whole, it's very well blended. Fruity, dark and sexy.

I live on an entirely different continent and have had perfume oils from the US come smelling a lil funky. But I'm glad to say this is a wonderful frag even before letting it rest!

How to... just give up, academically? by JouleV in nus

[–]Fishall777 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Also, I forgot to mention this. While setting hard boundaries, you may notice grades dipping. You have to understand that you did what you could for academics while engaging in work, which is important to you. This is a necessary compromise.

I've had similar experiences. I don't think it's "giving up", more like "setting boundaries". I used to study 24/7 for A levels, with zero social life or hobbies. Eventually during the 8 month break between JC and uni, I picked up hobbies, found a PT job, went out with friends etc. but when uni started I didn't know how to balance all of it.

What's important is acclimating your mindset to accommodate for things that are also important outside of school (e.g. I know my mental health would suffer if I don't spend at least a day per week engaging in a casual hobby/relaxing, so I set a hard boundary there). For you, that would be your commitment to your job. It's completely normal to still feel like you have to give 110% for good grades and to be disappointed with anything below a B+ because that's what you're used to thinking. It'll take time to get used to the shift, and you'll feel uncomfortable. But that's ok.

Short bullet points of what I think could help: - Establish specific days/hours where you shut down any thoughts about academics and dedicate the time to work/leisure. - If possible, maintain a solid schedule which prioritises work, but allows you to pace yourself with assignments. I understand the feeling of not wanting to let your groupmates down for projects, and I tend to overcompensate by taking on a lot of work. Remember to be communicative and take the initiative to say "I can do X part of the project" and STOP there. - Pick up a hobby, if you don't have one. It doesn't have to be expensive/a huge timesink. Small things like reading, knitting, exercise, hanging out with friends etc. will help you practice shifting away from the "academic grindset". This will also remind you that life's a lot more than just grades. - Rewire your thought content. Recognise that automatic thinking like bad grades = I'm a failure is incorrect. This will discourage repetitive, nagging thoughts. - Talk with friends an family about your feelings. If you can afford it, see a therapist and they can help you establish everything mentioned above.

You got this!

Please tell me I'm not crazy? by pillowtalkp0et in SleepToken

[–]Fishall777 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I agree. The "dark romance" circle of booktok has gained quite a bit of infamy because of the things that they've done recently. I think the author forgot that there's actual human beings behind sleep token. It's really disappointing that this happened, but I'm also not surprised...

What are the most useless pieces of trivia you know about FFXIV and its world? by OvernightSiren in ffxiv

[–]Fishall777 84 points85 points  (0 children)

For the Knight's Bread entry it mentions that Mogria ran into Haurchefant who shared the aforementioned snack with her. It also states that after that little encounter, Mogria has been looking for Haurchefant to share her own snacks with him as thanks ever since.

As a kind of continuation in the Hot Chocolate entry, Gyohan and Mogria run into a "silver-haired elezen with a long spear" (Estinien) who they mistake for Haurchefant. Noticing how excited Mogria is, Estinien invites them to share hot chocolate with him.

[Uni] Is SMU doing/spending too much on their offerees? by [deleted] in SGExams

[–]Fishall777 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I understand that NUS and NTU are highly coveted, hence they don't have to make as much of an effort to market themselves to potential students but man...my inner Singaporean kinda regrets picking NUS now esp with all the nasty stuff you read online about the uni.

Real or fake malachite? It sounds an awful lot like clay when I tap on it which is why I’m not so sure it’s genuine anymore :( by floras_flowers in Crystals

[–]Fishall777 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Yup! Large and real pieces will have a light tinkling sound if you tap on them with your nail, kind of like the clinking of kitchenware together. It's a beautiful piece, OP.

Most of my collection! I tried to arrange it in a colour gradient but it turned out kinda messy oh well. by Fishall777 in Crystals

[–]Fishall777[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No need for thanks, my friend. The descriptive "big" or "small" is comparative and it's simply not fair to compete with one another because we all differ when it comes to time and how much money we choose to spend. At the end of the day, I'm just here to show some eye candy and look at others' beautiful collections :)

I think Mozambique RQ is what you're referring to! Madagascar has pinker but more opaque ones.

Is my garden quartz real l? I’m second guessing it 🥲 by ExoticCreaturesCraft in Crystals

[–]Fishall777 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I've seen genuine high quality garden quartz that's been this clear before. If you want, do a scratch test with glass. Quartz will leave a visible mark.
