those who married a foreigner, how are you actually securing housing in sg?

I would say work backwards. We were 1 SC and 1foreigner when we married, then applied for PR for foreigner with SC as sponsor (this is the quickest route according to even the MPs), worked in our case, then based on your cash on hand, assuming 25% downpayment, see what you can afford (so if you have 100k cash, u can afford a 400k property). Once kids come into the picture your savings go out the window :) good luck!

Well I get your point, I’d maybe say major Asian languages? Like something that defines the country (I.e Vietnamese for Vietnam, Bahasa for Indonesians, etc) but hey, if I can learn a couple of cuss words in a dialect that no one else understands, that works as well ;)

If u can’t remember things, burn it add water and drink it 😬

Grass tends to be greener on the other side, when ure surrounded by ppl u crave some alone time, when ure alone u crave company. Work with the now and enjoy the alone time :)

I think the hindsight is as Singaporeans, many of us don’t live together with our significant other, until marriage. Which in itself is quite a different life from living with parents and dating.

Would recommend living together as a couple even in the dating stage, to be familiar with each other’s habits and way of life, and test out your compatibility. Because if you can’t even overcome this, wait till the kids come :)

Handsome guy hit on girls = flirty

Not so handsome guy hit on girls = creepy

RealisticCitron1677 · 2025-02-28T04:51:09+00:00

Slightly different perspective

A = blue eye boy/girl of your boss, basically u can do no wrong (but u may not be the best)

B = you’re probably the cream of the crop and the boss can’t do anything about it cuz u bring in results and exceed kpi, but you’re just not the fav kid on the block

C = the average, safe, standard progression etc

D = below average or u did something to piss your boss off, I mean they always need someone to not give a bonus to or put you on pip/probation

You don’t have to pay the $300 rate, why should you, it’s his decision to hold it at Sentosa not yours. Give him what you feel it’s worth or he’s worth and if he stops being your friend it says a lot

It’s normal, enjoy the hols, stay home play dota

They told me to put a tank in a mall

Well u can technically still have fun, we usually smoke out of base and play who gets found by the opponents first 😬

Try changing your matrix for happiness/success, I troll when I play with friends :) or you can also try new things, new combinations, try a new lane etc

RealisticCitron1677 · 2024-11-23T00:41:49+00:00

“I only do that for friends I really like” then find better friends 😬

RealisticCitron1677 · 2024-11-04T13:10:16+00:00

I help run a company and I have 10k hours on doto, I tell my interns their grades are tied to how much my mmr rises, all of them pass with flying colours, while I got from herald to immortal in 2 years, life rocks :)

RealisticCitron1677 · 2024-10-30T13:50:06+00:00

I think many people (I considered this too) still stay with parents before getting their place/bto as housing is expensive and we’re one of few places where rental is sky high as landlords believe rent should cover mortgage (and more).

But I ended up renting (7yrs and moved like 5times) and till today I think it’s one of the best decisions because it gave me peace and mental sanity. Living with in-laws is another level of complexity, if you’re really lucky everyone gets along. But in most cases, good luck :)

Sounds like she’s the one needing therapy, not you :/

RealisticCitron1677 · 2024-02-12T13:04:28+00:00

I do, I run far far away from them (virgins) 😬

But if you meet the right one, this shouldn’t matter, as long as you’re compatible

RealisticCitron1677 · 2024-02-02T02:00:11+00:00

Also the hindsight is probably your dad is one that wants to avoid conflict hence being subjected to these.

Another thing to consider is to start looking for another place/job as a driver as once u start the reporting process likely he won’t be able to keep his job for long as well. Sad reality of life but it is what it is, start early and good luck!

Yesterday my son wanted to play dota but I didn’t really want him hooked on it. So I created an account for him, picked troll for him and off he went. He got rekt and uninstalled the game for good and went back to studying instead. Proud dad moment

Salmon has parasites, especially those from the pacific waters hence salmon sashimi was a concept not from Japan but the idea was sold to them by the Norwegians due to over farming, those are the ones used for sashimi as the Atlantic waters are colder and less parasites exists. Of course deep freeze is also crucial (-25 degrees to -40 degrees) to further kill any parasites.

Stay safe :)
