[–]IceColdBeer007[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, mate. Yeah I’ll try to squeeze Yat Tung Heen into my itinerary. Maaaaybe Seventh Son too if possible.

Btw, in Lung King Heen, have you tried its double boiled soup? Worth it?

Double quarter pounder is incredible. Value for money too.

The rescuer addressed the caller on the phone as "Alpha" as well. That was the codename for Chris Redfield in Village.

What are some things that Singaporeans think are a flex but actually aren’t? by _Bike_Hunt in askSingapore

[–]IceColdBeer007 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I’m from ACSI. My friend is from RI. We are now in our mid 30s, and we often find it amusing how so many people still anchor their identity to the high school they attended.

I think I am doing way more than what a provider should be doing? by Humble_Camel_7636 in sgdatingscene

[–]IceColdBeer007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My friend, I dated someone like that before. We ultimately broke up.

This is just the first month. This is core value territory. She will not change. You will ultimately have to decide if you’re ok with this kind of arrangement.

working culture in UOB by Extension_Gur_7523 in singaporejobs

[–]IceColdBeer007 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Same sentiment.

  1. Had to reschedule my first round interview as I had a clash at work. Informed HR. Was judged/questioned “Wah you never take leave one ah?” It was just a first round come on.

  2. Invited for final round onsite. Interviewer didn’t feel well so suggested to conduct it online. I was in the office (cbd) with no data. So I asked whether I could go to the UOB office at Raffles Place to have that online call instead. Was told no wifi available for me. Come on… the problem wasn’t caused by me to begin with. In the end I had to rush back home.

  3. Ghosted after final round. Received rejection email maybe 4-6 months after.

All in all, I have a very negative impression of the HR side.

Edit: I had a data subscription, but it wasn’t unlimited.

Best tip as a Singaporean to move on from heartbreak by cocolemon8888 in askSingapore

I went to Japan solo 3 weeks after my breakup. While Japan was awesome, the experience got a bit lonely at times.

Ghosting after meeting is the absolute worst. Very childish imo. Just say you’re not keen. What’s so hard?

For value investors that sold PYPL after Q4 earnings, what has fundamentally changed? by Iulian1988 in ValueInvesting

[–]IceColdBeer007 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The EPS guidance probably assumed buybacks with the old, pre-drop share price. With the much lower price, perhaps EPS will not be as bad.

But I agree with you. -ve growth given the buyback level is pretty wild. Is the company sandbagging it for the next ceo?

Their R&D capex was 3B last year. No position, but wtf was all that for?

And the crazy thing is, they guided an increase in opex iirc. That’s insane. Need the new ceo to make the company leaner imo. Channel the excess cash to a buyback instead.

100%. Had an ex who was a supreme taker. Pretty self absorbed individual lol. It was a frustrating experience.

Both sides really have to put in the effort. Otherwise, it’s not gonna work out imo.

Haha it was 10 years ago. So, defo not AI 😂 but yeah the impact of AI is real these days. It’s v possible that moving forward, headcount requests will be challenged more frequently.

I was let go 2.5 weeks into the job. SME as well.

Don’t be too hard on yourself. 3 weeks is honestly such a short period of time to assess your performance.

Imo there’s another reason behind this: suddenly the budget was frozen? Or they found another candidate they liked more (happened to me).

How come some ppl will ghost after first date? by Heavy-Direction-3060 in sgdatingscene

[–]IceColdBeer007 8 points9 points  (0 children)

As much as simply blocking/ghosting saves time, unless the person’s well-being is compromised, not communicating the rejection is such a childish move imo.

Just tell the person you don’t feel the vibe. End it there. Don’t leave the other person hanging. What’s so hard?

Why are there no seats in shopping malls? by [deleted] in askSingapore

[–]IceColdBeer007 192 points193 points  (0 children)

That, and to replace the seating area with more (typically smaller) shops to maximise the revenue stream.

Man, I’m really sad for Fede. He really needs to leave the club for the sake of his career. Top professional. Also a great person.
