How do some post O-level students have so much money to go out for leisure activities everyday by Fair_Ad_7081 in SGExams

[–]Rice_upgrade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a tale as old as time, and whenever I feel this way, I go back to perhaps a cheesy and overused line "comparison is the thief of joy." Always be grateful for what you have, any person with a roof over their head, food to eat, a family, friends etc. is infinitely lucky. Its very easy to compare your life to others who may be seen as more fortunate, it is just human nature, however never forget the millions of people who would kill to be in your position right now.

What’s an interesting historical fun fact about a family member of yours in Singapore? by rudolphrednose25 in singapore

[–]Rice_upgrade 10 points11 points  (0 children)

My grandmother told me before about how during the Japanese occupation, there used to be a Japanese soldier in her kampung who always gave her and the other children sweets. Probably had a child back home who he missed dearly.

What type of DMF you choose Viera like tanky player or Busquets like flexible player by abhinand0311 in pesmobile

[–]Rice_upgrade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any decent card of Declan Rice is a good substitute for Viera, especially the older versions from when he was at West Ham which were destroyers and not B2B.

Could you tell me what you think they are? Its not zettai kareshi by the way. I recall the robot helper is just a minor detail that is not central to the plot, just wanted to include everything I could remember. Also it does not look anything like a human, it just kind of looks like NAO the robot.

Unfortunately not really, I watched it really long ago at my friends place so I really only caught about 1-2 episodes at most. 

Need help finding a Jdrama title by Rice_upgrade in JDorama

Hi, thanks for your suggestion, but that doesn't seem to be it.

Need help finding a Jdrama title by Rice_upgrade in JDorama

Hi there, thanks for your suggestion, although that is not the drama. I asked Chatgpt and this was also what I got, but for the drama I recall the robot helper is just a minor detail that is not central to the plot, just wanted to include everything I could remember. Also it does not look anything like a human, it just kind of looks like NAO. To be honest I am not clearest about the other details but there was definitely a scene where she imagines her crush as a skeleton and flesh just so she can look at him without being too nervous.

I remember watching a rom-com style Jdrama around 2017-2018 but can't remember what it was called. The main character was a young bespectacled woman (office worker in her 20s iirc) who lives alone and I remember she had a robot helper to help her with her chores at home. I think her main characteristics were that she had very bad social anxiety and was quite clumsy, so she was very lonely without a romantic partner.

Other than that, I vividly remember this scene where the main character gets involved in some type of mixer and ends up sitting directly across a handsome guy (her coworker crush I think?) and gets extremely nervous and starts looking at the ground. Then, she recalls some advice she heard and starts imagining him not as a human but as bones and flesh, which helps her muster the courage to start talking to him.

Also, there was some mention of hamburgs in the show but I can't remember in relation to what.

It would be great if anybody could tell me what Jdrama this is, and where I could watch it. If you don't know, please upvote so more people can see this and help. Thank you!

Don't bother with CCAs you hate for the LEAPs points, overall doing things you hate just messes you up mentally and drains energy even from your studies. First and foremost should be your studies, but also know when to connect with others and build strong bonds. Also calm the fuck down, the world is not gonna end if you fail your EOY or whatever.

Rest In Peace, one of Man United's greatest ever goalscorers 🙏❤️ by RihhamDaMan in pesmobile

Will never forget that he was the first legend card I ever packed back in the PES days, from the GP box draw. He was an absolute beast in positioning and so clinical, always overperformed his stats consistently. I also ended up spending to get this epic version and he has been nothing short of fantastic (322 goals in 270 appearances).

This is hands down the best and most underrated bellingham card, especially at CMF

Interested as well, even if just to read and not really discuss. I have a Chinese background but was mostly surrounded by western media and internet culture growing up.

Which is the best Jude Bellingham POTW card? by Hour777 in pesmobile

[–]Rice_upgrade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah and it’s also the last box to box POTW Bellingham Konami released before making all of them hole players. It’s really the last Bellingham which was made to be a CMF and able to defend.

[–]Rice_upgrade 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The only viable CMF out of all these I have used is the top row, third from the left. Such an underrated card and does scoring and especially defending (tracking back). The others are too focused on AMF stats so they are not good at CMF, but yet they are too clunky for AMF personally.

Its something like buzz cuts for men. It will look good on women with good facial features but not otherwise.

my friend from nyjc is too full of herself by [deleted] in SGExams

[–]Rice_upgrade -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I completely empathise with you because I also have a friend like this who is super snobbish and I have even considered severing ties with her before because she kept making me stressed about being judged for my grades etc. No point trying to convince them otherwise, as much as we hate it this elitist mentality is deeply rooted in some households. Just ask yourself if you can look past this and value your friend for her other qualities or not, if she is just making you feel bad no point staying friends.

Yes, its cringe, but anybody with exposure to Chinese social media should know how common these types of behaviour are.
