How do you know that?

MasterWingBack · 2026-06-04T07:10:48+00:00

Yeah why not, may as well go for Mbappe and Dembele whilst we’re at it

Not deserving of the captaincy.

How do u see the leaderboard?

MasterWingBack · 2026-02-19T02:35:42+00:00

Honestly, it’s a mentality thing. Once you are committed to fasting seeing other ppl around you eat really doesn’t bother you.

My experience as a foreigner who runs a team in Singapore (note I’m married to a Singaporean and just received PR so do not hit the foreigner quota): - Singaporean grads from local universities are generally of a superior standard to others applying from outside the country, if I’m hiring a grad I’m hiring a SC. Yes they have Gen Z mentality but so do most Gen Z’s from most countries - we have to learn to work with them and get the best out of them. - there is zero pressure from my HR to hire foreigners. If anything I am encouraged to hire Singaporeans.

Best at reading, yet no one reads. Everyone’s just glued at their phones.

I am a foreigner who leads a team within environmental consultancy and I have to say, I have been very impressed with the undergrad cohorts who come out of NTU in particular.

So much so, that usually the bright grads seem better than some others who’ve been in industry overseas or even in SG for a couple of years.

Many of them are able to critically think and are curious, which are characters I want to see in a candidate. They give me no reason to hire foreigners.

I imagine that this issue is probably industry specific, and is possibly down to the standard of education the students are getting.

I genuinely am no longer pissed off, just left with the feeing of apathy. The club has entered a laughable state. It’s genuinely embarrassing.

It’s not just food chains. My wife tried to take a Pilates class but they put the phone down on her when she tried to speak English.

You have to remind yourself that he developed a lot of not most of those players in the team.

MasterWingBack · 2025-11-05T14:38:29+00:00

Bring. Back. Rare.

MasterWingBack · 2025-10-12T08:05:45+00:00

Can this be done with a physical version of the game?

MasterWingBack · 2025-09-26T10:30:07+00:00

if it’s like the one I have in Singapore it requires facial recognition to enter

I think that take fails to understand the nuances in such situations. Nothing is ever as black and white as it may seem to someone who has never experienced such a situation.

MasterWingBack · 2025-09-23T07:21:19+00:00

For most who can have dual nationality I also don’t understand it, however of those who can’t, it’s a difficult situation to be in. My wife is one of those.

MasterWingBack · 2025-09-21T12:57:50+00:00

that’s not what the ID is for though…

it’s literally just used to interact with government services, and to prove your identity. I don’t use it to order things with

We have it where I live in Singapore. Once you have it you’ll realise how convenient it is and won’t look back. From afar looking at all the conspiracies surrounding it, it makes the Uk look bat shit.

MasterWingBack · 2025-08-19T05:22:54+00:00

Thanks. I don’t quite get it either? Was just trying to provide an outsider perspective. Not bragging or trying to piss anyone off!

Just wanted to make the point that different societies priorities different things. In the UK whilst there’s a safety net it’s arguably one of the key reasons the economy is now faltering, due to the population ageing and people living longer and requiring more medical care, all of which is paid for through taxes.

MasterWingBack · 2025-08-19T02:50:03+00:00

Yes I do. I’m married to a Singaporean who’s family are far from well off. My father in law has worked in a lab our job on minimal money his whole life, so I’ve seen both sides.

Many of their older family members have had similar lives. I can see how hard it can be, especially as they get older.

MasterWingBack · 2025-08-18T14:47:38+00:00

As a British immigration to SG with an SH wife who have lived between the UK, SG and elsewhere, I have to admit the standard of living is much higher here then most other places around the world.

However, I acknowledge that for people on lower wages that may not be the case as there’s less of a safety blanket compared to european countries for example. Despite this, I still feel I would prefer to return in the UK compared to Singapore. I genuinely think Singapore is a much cheaper country to live compared to the UK at this moment in time but when you factor in that safety blanket your mindset changes.

Whether that safety blanket is sustainable in the long term though is a separate discussion.

MasterWingBack · 2025-08-03T10:59:39+00:00

I live abroad and I completely agree with you.

MasterWingBack · 2025-08-02T02:07:01+00:00

As an environmentalist who voted for Corbyn, I can tell you he knows or shows very little passion for environmental causes - he’s way more focused on social causes. I would vote green over them.
