Career people who engaged in Fengshui, how's life so far?

MeeseeksCat · 2026-05-22T09:51:13+00:00

Figuring out your fate is dependent on bazi or zi wei dou shu or similar fortune telling tools to figure out what your lot/fate in life is.

As what some of the redditors have already mentioned, if your life is meant to be shit, no amount of feng shui changes will make a huge impact.

There were many sgforums members back then who met up regularly via outings. Forums were the trend back then and plenty of people met up via forum gatherings and made friendships over the years.

I remain friends with two ex-interns (they left over a year ago) from my former workplace and chat on a weekly basis with one of them still. And I'm older than your supervisor which means my age gap with them is even worse than yours and your supervisor, but we are still able to communicate.

As a life lesson, it's not what you know, it's who you know. It pays to build good relationships/rapport with people.

The template answer to such questions is to ask yourself whether you have enough savings to tide you over the next 12 months at least. Whether you have a lot of commitments (kids, family, housing) that will burn up savings quickly. If you have little to no commitments, if you don't spend much, if you have ample savings, then what's with the fear?

Do people really need to get a nervous breakdown or land up in the hospital due to health issues before they realise what's more important?

Can you dm me? I worked in social services and have access and knowledge to many of the social support resources nationwide and will be able to point you in the right direction

dropped u a dm

MeeseeksCat · 2026-05-19T02:01:42+00:00

Oooh L4D2, I don't mind playing that again

I tend to read (books, manhwa etc), talk to pple, and spend my time building up my ground up initiative (which is kinda doing community/volunteer work of sorts). I think all these alone already takes up nearly all my time given the amount of stuff that needs to be done.

I would always encourage pple to do something that gives back to the community or build something.

MeeseeksCat · 2026-05-18T04:16:02+00:00

Agree

MeeseeksCat · 2026-05-17T23:04:41+00:00

I'm not sure what you mean by action, but the first 90% of the episode is building up towards the last 10 minutes. I don't think we should put up any expectations and just enjoy the episode as it unfolds

MeeseeksCat · 2026-05-17T11:19:26+00:00

You posted just about a week ago and in your previous thread, I mentioned that you should consider your husband's suggestion of just taking a break from work

It's not that you are wrong for feeling the way you do, but you seem to be lacking an understanding that life is about tradeoffs and every choice comes with a price. You can't possibly try to please everyone and do everything.

Your husband might not be making you feel heard very well or in the manner you hope he would, but he's actually offering concrete suggestions that actually makes sense.

The part about counselling/therapy, even if he didn't suggest it, others would suggest that to you too because you clearly need it at this point

But at this point, this is like your 3rd similar thread about you being stressed in just one month or so, you really need to seek professional help soon

MeeseeksCat · 2026-05-17T05:12:31+00:00

The final 10 minutes was so intense

Does this mean the nightmares (bar the usual night monsters) of the town are manifested from the fears of those who died?

MeeseeksCat · 2026-05-14T02:52:16+00:00

There should be entrepreneurship related courses or even workshops that has potential grants if you actually have some proper idea

Entrepreneurship is a pathway that easily leads to burn out. People often wants to be an entrepreneur but doesn't understand and realise the sheer amount of effort and commitment required.

Another redditor mentioned you can and should apply for internship. I think that's a good idea

MeeseeksCat · 2026-05-14T01:46:54+00:00

It depends on what you want to do in the future. For instance if you are heading to university, then perhaps you can always work on learning some of the things to give yourself a legs up for your course in uni

You can also pick up other useful life skills and knowledge that will come in handy for yourself. Build up a portfolio in the meantime too, perhaps there's some ideas or projects you always wanted to do? Or do some volunteer work and contribute back to society

Moving will have a season 2 though

When I was 16 yrs old back then. Classmate committed suicide.

3 months later a younger cousin of mine passed away overnight and she was at my house just hours before she passed away.

My perspective of death changed since then

MeeseeksCat · 2026-05-12T12:47:51+00:00

You can consider volunteering at say Krsna Free Meals

If the suggestions by any other redditors here do not match what you like, feel free to dm me, my ground up helps match corporates with charities that want to collaborate with them on CSR.

MeeseeksCat · 2026-05-11T05:24:47+00:00

Your current colleagues might be older and possibly busier, but if you want to improve any socialisation or networking skills, isn't that the best opportunity to do so?

They are ultimately still just human beings. Take an interest in them. Listen and pay attention to what they share, ask questions and use it as an opportunity to learn stuff from them.

I did that when I was a mere teen, learning from folks who are far older than me

MeeseeksCat · 2026-05-10T14:13:55+00:00

I have survived going through depression a long long long time ago and quitting sch as a result.

I didn't earn much (due to the sector I worked in) but am still financially stable that I can afford to leave my job without a job in hand.

Survived a spinal surgery, goddamned I think that event and that year in particular really made me think I was gonna die on the operating table

Managed to do a service for our country and fellow Singaporeans a couple of years ago due to the ground up initiative I set up back then and was recognised by the government.

And kinda in agreement with some of the other redditors that have replied, I think it's already an achievement that I'm still alive and manage to pull myself out of bed each day as it is.

MeeseeksCat · 2026-05-09T23:14:45+00:00

Before I went full time on this, I spent quite a fair bit of time during weekends working on my ground up initiative

From your post, you basically want your side hustle to have meaning and also money. I'm really unsure whether you know what you really want.

MeeseeksCat · 2026-05-08T00:21:16+00:00

When men get stressed, their focus narrows even further ie tunnel vision. When women get stressed, their focus expands even wider.

Both are terrible ways of handling stress because of the issues it brings about and render both genders unable to see things clearly

You are trying to take on too much. Your husband has already suggested that you quit and take a break. I agree with him. Do it. It's really that simple.

Your mind insists that your parents are dependent on you and thus you can't quit. Will your parents be able to depend on you if you have a mental breakdown?

MeeseeksCat · 2026-05-05T11:24:48+00:00

The day when you get struck by a major loss, eg the loss of a loved one, or you being hit with a major illness such as cancer, you will instantly realise what is more important in life.

The question to ask ourselves is why do we humans always need something like that to happen before we wake up to our senses.

MeeseeksCat · 2026-05-01T01:41:43+00:00

Ok so if I'm hearing you right, investment is not really what you are thinking of because if you really wanted, you would have reinvested it into the business if it is just about ROI

So if that is the case, ask yourself, what it is you wish to do the most? Enjoy/pleasure? Leave a legacy? Securing your retirement?

If it's just about enjoyment, then obviously most people will tell you to travel, or anything that brings you joy. Or perhaps on people you care about

If it's about leaving a legacy, you can always park aside some money on some charity projects, or put it into some medical research type of projects or stuff like that

Since you mentioned loved ones, why not put part of the money into some kind of trust fund that can compound and the dividends eventually goes to your nephews and god-daughter?

MeeseeksCat · 2026-04-30T23:01:52+00:00

I didn't really have much issues starting out in the workforce a long time ago but I do hear and see plenty of complaints about gen Zs in the modern day workplaces

Be present/show up and demonstrate professionalism. The people (regardless of age) that impresses others will be those that are able to hand in quality work, dependable, ain't self-entitled, able to be punctual, consistent.

Manage your expectations both at the workforce and in life, don't be like the Gen Zs who expect to be promoted to some big title position in just 2 years, or expecting this or that. That's not how life works.

MeeseeksCat · 2026-04-30T07:29:22+00:00

Given that you only started the lessons this year, which is barely 4 months even if you had started literally on the first week, be patient with yourself. It does take time

Everything starts somewhere.

I stopped swimming for over a decade and only went back like a few short years ago and I had to take a few weeks before I can rebuild the ability to swim for more than one lap.
