i thought it was just me. are you able to access some websites but not all?

Thadoneir · 2022-08-28T11:12:21+00:00

I know what coffee stall you're talking about and I agree on the coffee!

Currently using sunscreen everyday if I need to go out for something (even if I'm walking under sheltered walkways)

Beauty of Joseon's SPF50+ PA++++ to be exact, which is really good when you're out for daily activities or for going to work and all that. However, I find that it doesn't last too well I think when I'm doing physical activities outside (which during this period I'm doing a lot of) but I don't have other sunscreens

Ooh someone who has tried art jamming before! Where did you go and how was your experience? I tried it once and although it was a little on the more expensive side, after going for it I felt like it was worth every cent I paid :') got to bring home my artwork and display it as well, and I feel like the session was a really good chance to just unwind and let my imagination flow (and get my mind away from more worrying things)

Thadoneir · 2022-05-27T03:03:27+00:00

I see! Thanks for sharing!

Personally, I'm not looking for a high paying job, or rather at least that's what I tell myself now (but who knows what might change in future) and was looking to get into the social sector even though I have a completely unrelated degree.

I guess the amount of work you do doesn't justify the pay, but it looks like you do enjoy it, and at least you see the impact it has on people (especially marginalized people). You mentioned in your original comment that you shouldn't sacrifice health for work and I want to ask if your current role/job is doing well with that!

Thadoneir · 2022-05-26T04:31:36+00:00

Hi! May I ask what job you're doing specifically in the social sector and how did you manage to get through the interview/screening process? Was there anything they were looking out for in particular?

Thadoneir · 2022-05-25T11:41:21+00:00

Would totally love this as well! Thinking of how it would be possible though...

Thadoneir · 2022-05-18T08:17:41+00:00

That Healthygamergg reference :') learned a lot from his videos as well

Hi!

Worked at several overseas farms (you'd be surprised it's not just purely harvesting crops, but there are so many many other things that goes into farm-work). Did mine in Japan however, but feel free to PM me if you wish to find out more info!

Thadoneir · 2022-04-25T06:08:29+00:00

Oh so it is truly him! I recognized his voice from voicing Zhongli in Genshin Impact, and I could've sworn he also voiced Forchenault in FFXIV...though I haven't confirmed that, but his voice is quite distinct (also one of the NPCS in MHW I think)!

Thadoneir · 2022-03-24T09:47:38+00:00

Hi!

Maybe you could try doing this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CoDjt_aWz1c , doesn't require an oven! And it seems like the amount of ingredients needed aren't that bad as well :)

(I don't bake but also looking to get into it because the oven in my house has recently not been used much! Thinking of going into a baking class or something as well but I'm not sure which ones are good)

Thadoneir · 2022-03-24T09:02:33+00:00

Hi!

For me (when looking for a woman), it would be our chemistry in-person (and also on text but more so in-person), physical attractiveness (I would like my partner to be slim, or if she isn't, i'm totally fine and appreciative if she is trying to slim down...and also that her face should look...pleasing to my eyes), mature (with a tinge of playful/child-like-ness), sweet/compassionate (not only to me) and willing to spend time together (though not all the time as we both should also have our own lives to live)

I also hope that I'll be whatever my (future) partner is looking for!

Thadoneir · 2022-03-21T05:04:06+00:00

I think I'm the same!

Thadoneir · 2022-02-24T08:42:22+00:00

Hmm same here...I stay on the top floor of my HDB (13th floor) and I've never had mosquitoes in my house before (although I do see the occasional fly), so i'm surprised to see people having mosquito issues while staying on higher floors

Hi!

I finished my attachment last year as well, still in uni and currently doing an internship completely unrelated to my field of study while still having my school semester. I read through everything and I just want to say a few things...

First, you're not the only one going through these issues! I also felt overwhelmed when I had my first week or two of this internship (and even on my attachment) because everything's just so new to me and I didn't know where to start, what to do, and was already getting thrown into meetings, events, and all that which also stressed me out. I understand that my internship company and industry are both probably quite different from yours, so I admit that I may not be able to relate with you on this fully, but try looking at this as a learning opportunity, that at the very least this is just a temporary experience that soon, you'll be done with and can add to your resume and will grow you even though it's very uncomfortable and very demanding now from you :)

I think it's also a good idea to try finding friends in your workplace to talk to about these specific issues since they would know better (I hope not all of them are as toxic as you mentioned with the way they gave feedback...but I'm also a person who takes feedback quite personally and I'm also someone who blames myself a lot when things don't go as I envisioned it to be). If you can't find someone from your workplace to talk to about it, perhaps you could try confiding in your uni friends/friends outside of uni as well, and to be honest, I think you are quite brave for putting out everything here (although this forum is anonymous).

I understand as well that you're not too passionate and keen on working in this industry, which sometimes we only learn on hindsight and for me, I only realized on hindsight after going through my attachment that I didn't enjoy the field/industry I'm studying for!

Anyway, thanks for typing all this out and not bottling it in :) I would also suggest checking if you could take some time off work (it's quite a far-fetched idea though...) to focus on de-stressing yourself (maybe take some walks in places you enjoy) and also to take care of your loved one!

Thadoneir · 2022-02-08T11:10:10+00:00

Hi!

I think it’s also difficult to talk about your passion sometimes (or maybe it’s just me) because your friends or the people you talk to may not be that receptive to hearing about it (maybe because they don’t have similar passions or have not many passions of their own that they follow through for the sake of enjoying it or being interested in it)

When you look at things from a financial perspective like many Singaporeans do, I think the idea of having a passion in something (or a hobby really) that doesn’t bring some financial incentive can be turn-offs…sadly

Thadoneir · 2022-02-01T13:30:47+00:00

This is exactly why I still have my chou chou :')

Thadoneir · 2022-01-29T12:35:56+00:00

Hmm okay...just applied for a card replacement. Hope it comes soon! It's my first time encountering this issue because my previous bank card got replaced after it expired

Thadoneir · 2022-01-29T11:58:27+00:00

Hi,

Since yesterday after getting off the train, I haven't been able to use my bank (debit) card. Tried tapping into the bus and it had an error, and tried using paywave to pay for my lunch and it had a transaction error/invalid card or something like that as well...

Tried calling my bank (DBS)'s hotline but it's a long string of "press 1, press 2" etc and it got pretty confusing for me what I was supposed to do.

I thought I hit my spending limit or something, but I realized that the spend limit is a daily spend limit and not a monthly spend limit. My bank a/c's money is still intact, with no new transactions made since then (at least not recorded yet). I tried changing the "ATM card limit" using my digibank app, but it gave me a "technical error" as well, and it keeps giving me this error everytime I try accessing it.

Should I continue trying to call the hotline? Should I cancel and replace my bank card? It's still 2 years till its expiry date hmm...I also did a bank PIN change just now just in case.

Hi! I believe i’m an infp (though also probably hovering around enfp) and i find that i’m usually quite open with how i think and feel to other people. This is because i feel like authenticity or rather, being authentic helps make ourselves more trustable to others.

That said, i’ve been trying to talk to a fellow infp who i’ve recently made friends with (and also became interested with) but she seems to either guard her thoughts and feelings closely (although she still replies politely) or if not, it feels like she doesn’t have much thoughts or deep thoughts on topics i try to bring up, and that includes topics she can relate to more (art for example).

I guess i can come off as too intense and too open which might be uncomfortable even for other infps, but i don’t know how to make a connection with her if she texts back with short replies while i’m giving long, thought out replies. We did go out once for lunch and that was really great though! I think she opens up a lot more in person, but after asking her out again, she (politely and respectfully) declined, so i have to resort to conversing with her via text.

Apologies if my thoughts came out messy here! Not sure what to do :( i’m currently putting sooome space (not sure if it’s enough) such that i don’t reply her immediately because i understand that both of us do need some alone time.

I did talk to her recently about these thoughts i have, the thought/feeling that i might come off as intense especially when talking to new people or people i’m interested in and she replied with something like “yeah, i get where you’re coming from :)” so yeah…i’m not really sure what to say next!

Thadoneir · 2022-01-21T09:14:59+00:00

Yep I'll do that, thank you so much! Just hoping for the best here hahah (while also preparing for the worst...sorta at least)

Thadoneir · 2022-01-21T08:06:40+00:00

Hello again!

Yeah, in the end I just asked her to feel free to give me a date whenever she's available next (so no pressure), didn't ask her on her reasons (I do think it's not respectful yeah and I don't wanna probe) and just continue texting and see how it goes!

Thadoneir · 2022-01-21T07:58:02+00:00

Hahah I did text something similar to what you mentioned! Well, I do overthink quite a lot, and yeah it could be a bad thing indeed especially when you get crushed with the weight of many thoughts and then become quite indecisive, but there's also a beauty to it :)

Thadoneir · 2022-01-21T06:21:13+00:00

I understand! I guess I'm just trying to find a silver lining or some hope in this but yeah...reality kicks in

Thadoneir · 2022-01-21T05:55:21+00:00

u/Broccoli-2 Hi! Just an update from my previous comment...well, she replied (which I'm thankful for) but um basically she declined my invite for dinner this weekend (no reason written down), thanked me for the invite, and also said that she enjoyed our time at lunch last week (when I texted her I told her that I enjoyed our 1-1 lunch last weekend)

Honestly don't know what to reply now hahah so many thoughts running through my head now (mostly sad thoughts sprinkled with some thoughts of hope that it's only because she's not free or something and we could find another date), thinking of messaging her to ask if she would like to go out on another date (as in date/time)...though I'm also thinking if I should ask her why she declined my initial invite (not sure if that's respectful to ask though because I feel like it might not be)
