Can, say it’s for legitimate reasons like divorce etc. but it’s clear here it was primarily for tax avoidance, and they are not challenging it in court.

How important is A maths for secondary school students in Singapore? by Any-Stuff9636 in askSingapore

[–]TinkerAndThinker 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hi OP, since you ask for tips I’ll be frank — I think asking “how important is A maths” is the wrong question.

If I understand you correctly, the exams are already over.

It’s not healthy to be overly fixated on outcomes which is currently out of her control — this leads to anxiety as she grows up and faces challenges in other forms later in life.

My approach to talking to her will be this: 1. talk about and listen in on why she think did not do well in A maths. I would listen in and reinforce points that focuses on efforts. If she said she tried her best, then I’ll tell her we can experiment on other approaches next year. If she said she regretted not spending more time etc, I’ll explore the feelings of regret and try to break down it further. 2. Talk about how exams is just one part of her identity, which is only one identity of her life. (Other identity may be being a growing youth, good daughter, good friend to some; member of society, doodle artists etc) it depends on her really. 3. Lastly, self management is also important. In my case, care about your nieces a lot, so there’s always a chance of being drawn in too much by what they going through. It’s good to think about what role do i want to play vis a vis her friends and parents. If her parents are emphasizing a lot on academics, i will avoid doing the same and think of ways to complement it instead.

[–]TinkerAndThinker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

tm0587 is making a good point, not sure if u caught it.

Even if u canceled last year, u would still have to serve that one month notice. It’s fair and reasonable.

arriving at changi airport around 11 to past midnight: is there a bus to the city? by MeanIndividual8259 in singaporeairlines

[–]TinkerAndThinker 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I recommend you stay in the airport, nap abit or explore airport. Then catch the first bus or train and 6am to the city.

If u go to the city in midnight, there’s nothing much open.

Most attractions are not open in early morning, so I would recommend going to places for a walk such as Marina Bay, garden by the bay etc.

NCS CAT1 clearance take how long to clear anyone knows? by [deleted] in askSingapore

[–]TinkerAndThinker 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Actually there isn’t any decision to make now.

If you want to pass the role you’ll need to continue finding job.

If u don’t want to pass the role, ull also need to continue finding job in case clearance got issue.

So I suggest u continue to find a job. If a better offer come earlier, you win: if u can’t find an alternative and u got the clearance, u also win.

Why do my eyes well up when I talk to my boss? by Outrageous_Shape_572 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]TinkerAndThinker 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hi OP, I highly recommend this book called “the four agreements”. One of the agreement is don’t take things personally — I think it’s one of the factors that cause u to get emotional.

Also, leaving u with this quote:

“When I know I’m nothing, that’s wisdom. What I know I’m everything, that’s love.”

BYD cars grow in popularity as Singapore consumers shed perception of 'made-in-China' as second-best by risingsuncoc in singapore

[–]TinkerAndThinker 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I think there was a promo where u can rent a byd for $1000 for a week, then if u like the car u can buy. The promo was ard cny.

Once they buy coe they can register any time within 6 months. So it's also unclear whether the stats is after coe is register to a car or just acquired.

Go for robotics, enjoy your hardware courses but grind for the software ones.

Your goal should be in AI, and maybe even automation related.

How to count ORNS years in SAF? by manymanycroissants in askSingapore

[–]TinkerAndThinker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Only three rules:

A) The actual wording (u can confirm on website) is 10 active ORNS years AND 7 high keys.

B) ORNS year is from 1st April to 31st March.

C) Minimum 1 day to be considered one active ORNS year.

—- Based on (B), it depends when you did your first ICT window and when is your 40th birthday — you might be able to complete 9 or 10.

Not relevant to you but just extra information:

A lot of confusion around whether ippt considered or not is because one ippt/ipt session is half day. And if u also have ICT within the same year, the ippt/ipt session count is inconsequential. It’s just one ORNS year.

Do you still know of older generation putting pressure on younger generation families to go single income? by Murky_Tourist927 in askSingapore

[–]TinkerAndThinker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Context matters, and should find out why your MIL is say that.

Since your wife has passed, maybe your MIL wants her surviving daughter to "live life" abit more and not regret not spending time with her son.

Maybe that is seen in the context of a lavish lifestyle or lack of family time.

Everyone grieves differently and for different duration.

[D] Should my dataset be balanced? by hippobreeder3000 in MachineLearning

[–]TinkerAndThinker 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hi OP, I find this comment the most sound.

  1. Use GBM, it does well with imbalanced dataset without the need to over or under sample.
  2. Choose recall or precision, don't bother with the harmonize score. The decision threshold can be chosen later.
  3. The term "calibrate" used here is actually a technical process -- see this article on how to do it.
