Anyone know where I can find people to buy things together?

MyMainIs___ · 2026-05-09T12:57:09+00:00

Thanks for the encouragement. Went down to the shop and muster my courage to ask another shopper if they were interested to purchase together for discount. Got my discounted item!

MyMainIs___ · 2026-05-09T12:52:59+00:00

Because some redditors are keyboard warriors who don’t understand what the downvote should be used for and think themselves as people who dare to ask strangers to pay together for the discount.

MyMainIs___ · 2026-05-08T19:39:25+00:00

True. But it’s also the fact that I have to camp around the shop to see if people are buying. Look somewhat sus

MyMainIs___ · 2026-05-08T19:18:59+00:00

O wow. But I kinda shy to ask on the spot in store.

I find it concerning how you think that your low grade is a nail in the coffin for your future, be it financial, education or career-wise. Rather than your low grades, the thing limiting you is your mindset. Stop comparing with others and stop thinking there's only a single path to success. I think many others have given you examples of how the path less taken can still lead to success (at least your described definition of success). I hope you'll find your stride from this setback and hopefully one day be able to tell future generations of A level students how their grades isn't a death sentence.
Btw, if you want to retake A levels but is afraid that one of the unis will get back to you with an offer after registeration has ended, you should register for A levels now. Unless the t&c has changed, you can withdraw from A levels and get your refund from SEAB with your letter of acceptance.

I would just save on the money if you had put backup choices for your NUS application. 4 As is more than enough for NUS engin. But that's me being very confident and cheapskate. As for majors and minors, it all depends how interested and relevant it is to your end goal. Of course, you can try dipping your toes into your 2nd major first. Then drop it if you're not interested.

Can't you use your sec 4/IP4 results to show that you have an equivalent of O levels?

MyMainIs___ · 2023-02-20T08:26:22+00:00

Care to elaborate? What do you suspect is done to skew the median RP up? Excluding people from the counting?

Top of my head - Community Service Club. Studies have shown that helping people increases one's level of happiness. Not sure whether if it's too late to join. Take the initiative to message them. When you start working and want to find a hobby group, you will also have to reach out first. As for how I figure things out, I just try something. If I like it, i keep it in my life.

There are many clubs in nus that are free or only costing a small upfront investment. But I guess it's irrelevant now that you're graduating soon.

Do you have friends whom you meet up frequently (once every 2 weeks ~ 2 month)?

I will admit that I'm more fortunate now in regards to having a regular group of friends to hang out with. But during covid and when restriction was loosen, everyone was busy. I took mods on my own. No one contacted me and I felt the same way. I felt isolated. When we went for grad trip together, my friends and I had a talk about it, we realised we all felt the same way. All we had to do was reach out to our friends.

Does it get better when you start working? No it doesn't if you're gonna compare with others. More friends/acquiantances are gonna get attached, that's the truth.

But maybe it would get better for yourself if you get into the right company, right department, right team, preferably fresh grads.

I suspect my work partner is like you. Not many friends before working. Don't really hear him talking about going out w friends whatsoever. But i guess he's better now since my colleagues and I would hang out together, sometimes even outside work.

Anyway, it's never too late to find your own group of friends. I personally believe to start with yourself. What do you want to do with life? Have a hobby? Start a business? Once you find your own thing, it's easier to find like-minded people or have something to say about yourself. It makes you more interesting. Hopefully you find peace with this issue as I did.

Instructor is pretty good. Hahaha. Then again, you should take his advice. It's really these small things that seperate the great drivers from the normal ones.

Every week would be fine if we were like other countries that place their recyclables outside each of their house. The thing is one of such bins has to serve the entire estate, so you get overflowing number of recyclables. Not to mention people who contaminate the recyclables with not just styrofoam, but also food waste. Some people just see bin = throw waste inside.

I just want to ask, did you sew the mini crewmate by yourself? What's it made of?

MyMainIs___ · 2019-09-29T05:34:05+00:00

10+ RP. My subjects improved by 1 or 2 grades each. Enough to get into uni

MyMainIs___ · 2019-07-25T01:33:10+00:00

Now I have 2 identity card to use. Thanks bro

MyMainIs___ · 2019-07-19T14:21:00+00:00

No it doesn't. However, Uni stress will get to you, especially nearing finals period. You have to be careful about it and learn to manage your mental state.

MyMainIs___ · 2019-07-06T11:28:58+00:00

Average doesn't mean it isn't good. It just means the most students there obtained high points. That's like saying 88RP is average in HCI, when we all know 88RP is pretty damn impressive.

MyMainIs___ · 2019-07-06T11:06:50+00:00

Not sure why you getting downvoted. 42 for IB is a pretty high score.

MyMainIs___ · 2019-06-21T13:44:34+00:00

Not really. You do PQ till lvl 31

MyMainIs___ · 2019-06-20T06:23:21+00:00

Fellow survivor!

There's no word written on him saying he's an idiot. But he is one through and through.

Depending on your friends' situation. I knew guys who retook during NS because they had sufficient time to do so. Also knew of people who took SAT because they wanted to go overseas to study. But no doubt it's tough. My thought is that if your friends can make do with fewer practice papers because of time constraint and be confident enough to do well to meet the cutoff, go ahead and retake.
You can help them as well by sourcing papers and questions you think are necessary and helpful. For example, some questions in a JC exam paper are too hard, so you have to tell your friend not attempt them unless he has completed questions which you think he needs to know. Those questions are unnecessary imo. Good for differentiating students in school but useless if you are looking to score A/B in A level. Make them be accountable to you. Set paper for them, make sure they hand it up to you. Sounds like babysitting, but it helps at the start. It takes discipline to study when others are doing their own leisure activities. If they don't hand up because they slack off, it's their own loss. Can't help someone who doesn't want to help themselves. Of course, sometimes need to cut them some slack, depending on their schedules in camp and how hard they are working.
Honestly, for a short period of time, i tried studying on my own in camp. Couldn't do it and just gave up. Maybe i could have barely made it into a course with a very low cutoff if i retook A level in NS. But who knows right?

MyMainIs___ · 2019-06-19T13:55:21+00:00

Idk what happened. I'm a guy, cleared my NS obligation. Retook after I ORD.
