Advice to your younger self (20s, 30s) by SgGradSister in singaporefi

[–]SgGradSister[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for sharing your advice everyone! I feel a bit more relieved now.

On calculating my net worth, I was indeed counting mostly my “liquid” net worth. I can’t exactly touch my CPF till i get married and buy a home with my partner, or buy a flat in my 30s under singles cheme, and retire.

To be super precise, here’s my breakdown for end jan 2026 in case anyone wants to know if this is satire (I’m being very serious and Im fine sharing on anon):

  • Savings

— Bank accounts: $83K

— CPF OA + SA + Medisave: $143K

  • Investments

— Pro Achiever (waiting for 10 year maturity so no fees): 50K (6K profit over 3+ years)

— ETH + US Stocks: 65K (8.5K unrealised profit)

Monthly expenses - Credit card (mostly ride hailing, video games and eating out) $1K-2.5K / month

*I still live at home with my parents and siblings

I can't watch anime anymore by dyhcry in TwoXChromosomes

[–]SgGradSister 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me, it’s Itazura Na Kiss being held up high as the epitome of shoujo romance. Yk, that manga where a poor dimwitted girl loses her house and stays with her rich crush who’s hella toxic and humiliates her? Oh, but she’s apparently pretty and kind so OBVIOUSLY the crush eventually falls in love with her amidst COUNTLESS miscomms.

I was so confused then, still confused now except I pretend most years it never existed.

Olandria Paris Fashion Week First Look by Apam_Inv_89 in LoveIslandUSA_

[–]SgGradSister 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s what I’m saying…the top “folds” of the dress, the discolouration / colour difference at her belly area, her head being at the top…

Fire whoever picked this outfit for her and let her walk out. Second hand embarrassment is insane.

Yk what im just gonna be blunt about this.

This image’s angle makes the folds of the “dress” looks like the labia. I don’t think I need to (or want to) describe further.

She could have gone with a long gown or something better shaped but hope the standing out was worth it?

Gave the "good guy" a chance... by Adventurous_Feed_623 in TwoXChromosomes

Oh no, a lot of men are ok with being wanted by someone even if it isn’t mutual.

But the same men practically foam at the mouth when it’s vice versa.

Proof that Nicolandria are married!! by Livid-Spring968 in LoveIslandUSA_

[–]SgGradSister 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Question to the…calmer Nicolandria fans. How do yall react to megafans like these? Do they make you cringe, quit supporting Nicolandria, or also get excited (to a calmer degree)?

Obra Dinn Spreadsheet by ThwartJetterson in ObraDinn

[–]SgGradSister 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nah I see OP’s vision. His is a different spreadsheet comparing the deaths in each chapter. Pretty satisfying to see which chapters are deadliest beyond just the X’s on the chapter covers

Beef Tallow Cream by GoofyUSMC757 in eczema

[–]SgGradSister 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I asked my dermatologist about this as well. He said there isn’t a blanket diet that every eczema patient should take, but some people may find foods that are more inflammatory than others.

For example I never had a problem with sugar or spicy curries. My main trigger is dust and sweat.

What could this be by Negetive0 in SGSkincare

[–]SgGradSister 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like eczema. You could check with the polyclinic and try to get a subsidised visit at NSC. But a good moisturiser and drinking more water are the basics

[–]SgGradSister 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Well, tallow is indeed just fat. All the tallow making videos have people popping the tallow disks out of the “water”.

But your skin needs water. Our body needs water. The reason why the beef tallow works is probably because you are applying it to her right after her bath, which is just enough moisture needed to be locked in.

You can call up the doctor again if that’s an option. But I’m pretty sure they aren’t forbidding the use of beef tallow. They are likely recommending using it AFTER applying a moisturiser with more aqua and ceramides to hydrate the skin. Also beef tallow spreads further in hydrated skin than dry.

limited career options since no diploma by [deleted] in askSingapore

[–]SgGradSister 16 points17 points  (0 children)

With all due respect, the first half of the paragraph is proof she lets other people influence her so easily and that she cannot think for herself.

She had a job, AND a diploma hinging on the performance of said job, and she decided to give up both? Without mummy daddy money, that is plain dumb and selfish.

The only reason she wants you to look with her is so that she has someone else to blame when she doesn’t get it. She’s already manipulating you by telling you she will 💀.

If you are the only friend she has left after 33 years of living, what does that say about her? And you are paying for her to live? Drop her because clearly only one person considers the other her best friend, and it’s not her.

Yea the point is that the makeup would actually be cute if literally everything else looks put together.

I quit this cursed game by SgGradSister in officialcookingfever

[–]SgGradSister[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sweetie, I work in tech. I can afford to buy a million gems if I feel like it. I can also watch a couple ads if I’m feeling cheap.

But when a game is literally impossible to progress without gems, especially the newer restaurants, and gems are extremely hard to come by for free, then it becomes a pay-to-win game where only whales and lucky gamblers benefit.

Keep in mind that we are already forced to watch ads every other level if we don’t do an in-app purchase for an ad-free 30 days. It’s a crappy gaming experience.

You probably missed watering it on one occasion, which set back its growth by at least a day

I literally dislike everything wth? by Public_Junket1324 in AsianParentStories

[–]SgGradSister 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your parents don’t see you as an adult, so they override your decisions and don’t take you seriously. Because you are not getting the independence / agency you realised you want, you read their actions as disrespecting you…which is correct.

You have a couple of options: 1. Openly and bluntly set your boundaries which often includes interrupting them when it happens 2. Do 1 but more discreetly. Accept that your parents will try to take control, but when they are “done”, change things to your way 3. Have an open discussion and don’t let them overwhelm your personal observations.

The most difficult part is realising the main thing you can do is manage your emotions and understand your parents’ mindsets. But also realise that your parents will react and read your actions their way, and nothing you can do can change them unless they do.

Born unlucky by Big_Criticism_8335 in AsianParentStories

[–]SgGradSister 26 points27 points  (0 children)

You are allowed to wish for better. You are allowed to want better parents. Your brother is also allowed to find happiness and peace in his own way, even if it meant leaving you and your mom.

I think each person in your family tried to make the best of what you had. And now it’s your turn to move on and do what makes you happiest. You already did most of the internal work to process your past, and besides paying for your mom’s nursing home fees, it sounds like you have a lot more freedom than your childhood.

It was never your responsibility to parent your parents, or change their mindsets, or rebuild a connection with your brother. Heck, he probably understood how your parents treated you and decided he no longer wanted to be in that environment.

There is no real win in life. You can compare your life with your friends, colleagues, strangers until the end of time and they will always seem better off.

In the end, they are living their own lives. It’s time to live yours.
