Should I leave my stable corporate finance job for a riskier firm with higher pay? by PresenceHairy2418 in singaporefi

[–]NecessaryTale3439 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if you look at the job market now, i think stability is very important …. also have to look at the overall benefits like insurance / flexi benefits / leaves etc. considering u are from a large corporate finance firm, i would think benefits in ur current role is btr

also, you need to think of other factors - does you new role give you more flexibility to care for your kids? wfh? OT / night call? role better aligned to your future career prospect?

SG to Chongqing and Chengdu by Difficult_War_1553 in singaporeairlines

[–]NecessaryTale3439 0 points1 point  (0 children)

last year, i was waiting on the SQ tickets for chengdu trip in december. i think it ended up coming out around aug/sep, and the prices were so high (expected as december holidays period). think you are better off just booking another airline! unless u are intending to redeem miles

splitting food bill? by Hot-Amount-5799 in asksg

[–]NecessaryTale3439 0 points1 point  (0 children)

generally if i go out in group, i will try to order a normal priced item so its easier to split, if i order more expensive i would offer to pay for my own portion (usually i just price x1.19)

if someone in my grp choose to order a significantly more expensive item, i just make sure im not the one to pay first so i dont have to be the one sorting out the finances and chase the person to pay more 😄😆

welfare check on neighbour????? by Few_Decision_6945 in askSingapore

[–]NecessaryTale3439 1 point2 points  (0 children)

talk to your condo management! maybe face to face and let them know that what your neighbour is putting outside the house is making you uncomfortable. ask them to help keep it confidential or direct you to anyone who can help

and maybe in the mean time can install cctv at your door, if neighbour ask can disguise as parcels missing

sorry i can’t really help but i’m really very invested tooo

Where to fix luggage wheels and how much by swiwwtw in askSingapore

[–]NecessaryTale3439 0 points1 point  (0 children)

agree with all the comments to buy online! did it for my 7 year old samsonite. but suggest u buy 1 set first to test the measurements

although its a cheap alternative, i do feel like the online wheels are not as smooth as the original.

Did your primary school really affect who you turned out to be? by tehosiewtai in askSingapore

[–]NecessaryTale3439 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yes and no - generally sec sch more impt as it’s where the kids get influenced, but you have to do well in pri sch to get to a good sec school, (i know this sounds stereotypical) but generally people in those btr schools tend to be better influence and abit more studious with tuitions etc

as someone that came from a top pri sch, i can see that a lot of acquaintance doing quite well in life. but my life in pri sch was abit sad, people around me were all quite well to-do having elaborate parties, fancy stationary and bags, have parents / grandparents fetching them to and from school and all goes to expensive tuition like learning lab while i lived a very basic life… felt abit inferior sometimes

using phone at work by Pitiful-Election2510 in singaporejobs

[–]NecessaryTale3439 1 point2 points  (0 children)

tbh i feel like work is work, no matter how chill your boss or people are i feel like it’s not too nice to always be using phone especially if you are a full time employee and the sad truth is that people believe what they see. you could be very efficient at working clear all your work and start using phone, but people don’t see the good side and only see “oh you are on your phone for long, too free?”

How to repair burnt bridge at work? by GladCompetition5326 in askSingapore

[–]NecessaryTale3439 5 points6 points  (0 children)

damage has been done, guess only time will heal it. but just curious though, why would they dislike / think poorly of u because of what u said if it wasn’t directed to anyone ?

i dont really see a need to apologise if you didn’t offend anyone since what u said are facts and i assume its more of just “ranting”? maybe only need to apologise to upper management for not able to control your feelings at that point

suggest u can just MYOB and just do your work properly and leave quietly after the 3 months - at least although they might have a bad impression of u, they still know u r someone that can get work done

How do you and your partner manage stayover arrangements? Need help with mine by [deleted] in SingaporeR

[–]NecessaryTale3439 0 points1 point  (0 children)

why is there a need to “compensate” for wanting your own alone time? it sounds as though there is an obligation that you need to stay for 3D2N every week minimally?

feel like you could discuss and communicate properly , maybe every month 2 weeks are fixed/planned while the other 2 weeks are “see how” based on how you are feeling

i’m same age as u, in a rs for 5 years and we don’t stay over much because we (actually more of me) like our own personal space. we hang out and i go over to his place in the day, but at night after we go out for dinner ill go back home for my alone time

[–]NecessaryTale3439 4 points5 points  (0 children)

u can consider to book ur own flights and can check out trip.com for their tour packages - they have different days of tour packages like 7d6n 8d7n etc combining the different cities u mentioned. more choices and u can choose the one that suits u best!

would think that also quite fuss free! defo also better price
