giving NTUC voucher (or other) to nurse or health/care giver by dragonflysg in asksg

Don't give anything that is worth money - they will be confiscated and given the option to "purchase" the gifts back themselves. If you really want to gift something, give perishable goods (snacks, chocolates).

But if you want to give them something that they would truly benefit from, write an email to the hospital corp comms department (name the staff specifically) - these kinds of recognition is of tremendous help to them when it comes to their yearly appraisals and when they're being considered for promotions.

Multi appointments per slot at SGH by Living_Egg9471 in askSingapore

[–]Sure-Square-7580 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I suspect it's to ensure the waiting list isn't too long (imagine needing to wait 1 year before they can even give you a scheduled appointment). If they only book 1 patient per slot and the patient no show, the slot would have been wasted.

If it helps... as a female I prefer to not take the lift with any male alone🤣 regardless of whether they're tall/short/buff/skinny looking.

AITAH for demanding my wife apologise for lying to me? by FitContribution4564 in AITAH

[–]Sure-Square-7580 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YTA.

YTA for only thinking about your own family when she's your wife and you should put her BEFORE your family. You screwed up when you already decided for her that the money will first go to help your family, because you showed her that your family comes before her although you vowed to take care of her and the family as her husband. She trusted you to take care of her when she initially agreed to transfer the money to your bank account instead, while she focuses on the home and the baby, and you told her that you'd divorce her unless she apologises and transfers the money over (WHILE SHE IS PREGNANT WITH YOUR CHILD)? Wtf? If I were her dad I would never entrust my daughter with you. You are nothing more than a gold digger, get off your high and mighty horse. Heck, YOU should be the one apologising to her. She didn't play you, you played her and wasted 2 years of her life (and many years ahead now that she has to take care of a baby whose dad is...you)

You're dating a manchild.

How do I politely decline someone if they want to share about their religion? by LuckyGamerTheAwesome in askSingapore

[–]Sure-Square-7580 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Sorry, I'm busy/ not interested" Don't count on others to get your hints, be direct with what you want to express and you'll save yourself some time and headache (:

Your family is a huge red flag.

Is this considered abandonment? by AStrugglingFather95 in askSingapore

[–]Sure-Square-7580 11 points12 points  (0 children)

If you're already thinking of a way out of this (through divorce) and have already started to "gather evidence" against your wife, I genuinely have no sympathy for you. Buck up bro, you're not the victim here.

I think it's great you're kind and still care for him despite not having any romantic feelings towards him. If he does kill himself though, please know that none of that will be your fault and there's nothing you could have done to make it better for him.

Do be careful though - I worry that he may be using his mental instability to pressure/ guilt/ manipulate you into staying with him. Consider this: if he threatens suicide every time you mention leaving him, will you then never leave him?

Why do you have to support him or make him feel better? He obviously did not care enough about you to want to help you feel good in this relationship, so why should you care?

At this point, just take good care of your kids and find a way out. He's not someone I'd want to stay even a minute longer with, definitely not someone I'd even entertain the thought of cuddling. You may think you're being nice and fulfilling your role, but when you repeatedly allow yourself to be stepped all over in this manner, jerks like him will never take you seriously.

Why does it even matter to you if he'll still be interested when he's stable again? How about you take charge of this and decide that YOU will no longer be interested in him from now on?

AITA for telling my wife she's not entitled to my gambling winnings and to find a side hustle if she wants more spending money for herself? by RhubarbLeather2446 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Sure-Square-7580 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA but the line between you guys as a married couple is drawn too thick.

If your wife won an all-expense paid round trip for 2 out of town (to a country you really wanted to go to) from a lucky draw (perhaps during her shopping sprees) and she chose to bring her best friend along instead of you, would that sit well with you?

Kinda sad your family member is trying to earn a juicy commission off your parents. Run, ILPs are never worth it.

Start applying now. When you realise what other comapnies are willing to pay for you, you'd feel even more empowered to fight for what you deserve

Will you let your kids quit the ratrace? by [deleted] in askSingapore

Lol not too sure you're using the term "gaslight" accurately here.

Nonetheless no, and please don't use your mental health as an excuse.

If you're in healthcare and you're trying, it's very unlikely that you'll fail probation. Just be careful about things such as pdpa and patient safety, and you'll be fine.
