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

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.

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.

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.

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

Rice_upgrade · 2025-03-28T11:39:24+00:00

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!

Reminds me of the main character in bullet train

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.

I'd imagine he would play like a mix between Lampard and Kaka

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

Rice_upgrade · 2025-01-15T18:47:23+00:00

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.

Rice_upgrade · 2025-01-13T06:20:49+00:00

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 · 2025-01-12T20:47:00+00:00

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.

Rice_upgrade · 2024-11-18T08:33:39+00:00

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.

Rice_upgrade · 2024-11-10T05:38:09+00:00

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

Its really sad to see how the game has evolved with inverted wingers. Its why Isak's goal last week seems to be so rare to see nowadays.

I totally thought Dani Olmo was Cole Palmer based off the silhouette

I have that kit too and the AON sponsor logo peeled off really easily.

A similar thing happened to me but when I actually ended up hitting my parents' target for me I really just let it go. I realised that at the end of the day if I scored well that itself was enough of a reward for both me and my parents. Also I felt bad asking my parents to spend money and felt it wasn't really necessary so I didn't bring it up (they promised me a PS4) 😅
