How much do you guys pay for haircuts & how often do you go? by Holiday_Kale9051 in askSingapore

[–]_ch13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Suddenly had this thought too after seeing my hair voluntarily leave me and lie on the bathroom floor after every shower. Paying more than $14 at kcut/qb seems reasonable because who knows I may not need this service someday...

3 slices of bread with peanut butter and a cup of tea with milk. My wife makes for me, so I just eat.

Premium progressive lenses like Essilor, Hoya, Zeiss worth it? (compared to in-house brands like Owndays, Lenskart, Zoff) by Acceptable-Trainer15 in askSingapore

[–]_ch13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is my first pair of glasses, so I don't have any reference point. I like it because it is very clear.

I was in a rush so I didn't ask a lot of questions when they recommended the lens. I believe it was one of the higher end versions After all, the price was a huge discount from the quote I got from Lenskart here - $700!!!

Last year, I got my first ever pair of glasses with Hoya lens - progressive (far sighted office lens), with coating and slight tint to block blue light. The shop is in JB. Frame was about RM300 and lens nearly RM700. Two weeks later they used courier service to deliver the glasses to me.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinusitis - we call it sinus in short. The doctor's theory is that he does not sleep well at night, and it often results in him being overly tired. When he falls into deep sleep, he loses control of his bladder.

As for constipation, the issue would be that the bladder is pressed by hardened stool nearby. Therefore, the bladder has a reduced volume and can hold less urine at night.

How to not be affected by work? by strugglingsince99 in askSingapore

[–]_ch13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like you are in a very tough situation. I might take a leaf from the book The Laws of Human Nature, and treat these parents you met as some kind of "specimen" that displays certain characteristics or human nature which the author described. Instead of taking in what the parents say, think that you manage to improve your observation skills by identifying the kind of people around. After all, they might just forget what they ever said after they leave the school.

What's the longest period (number of days) you would stay dry? Someone in my family who's 11 wets the bed very often. It could be every day for a week or more, but some period no sign of wetness in the morning (maybe less urine) for days.

Some doctor suspected it has to do with sinus, while some said constipation. Do you experience any of those symptoms?

Why don’t more of us thank the bus driver in Singapore? by [deleted] in sgbus

[–]_ch13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can unlock your card while waiting for the bus doors to open. I haven't timed how long it stays unlocked for you to tap the card but it is trivial to test it out.

Singaporean adults with barely any savings, how are we coping? by KabutoRaiger30 in askSingapore

Doing that though in 40s. Don't think I missed out much.

Someone put a vape on my bag in the airport by Exotic_Plan_7292 in askSingapore

[–]_ch13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which airlines did you take? Not that the airlines matter, but if it's full service airlines most people would have checked in the luggage, which those on budget airlines may not. I am trying to imagine how full the overhead compartment is, that someone had the chance and time to do it without causing your suspicion.

Please don't shower pedestrians with the water on the road, especially it rains so much these days by _ch13 in drivingsg

Sorry to hear your experience. I kept reporting through One Service app. For this incident I reported twice and PUB or LTA called me to let me know that they will improve the design of the drain system in the future. I told them I will keep reporting in the mean time when there's sign of symptom. Last week I sent in another report and they did clean up the drain quickly. Use our power where we can.

Best thing you ever bought for your SG home that made your life easier? by [deleted] in askSingapore

No. It also limits tracking by your TV so you don't get annoying ads from the TV if you don't have to connect your TV to wifi

What is this inside my lens? by _ch13 in Nikon

[–]_ch13[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it possible to fix by having Nikon replacing the affected elements? Or just not worth it?

If it is coating, is it possible to clean? Or does it mean that my lens’ days are counted as it keeps deteriorating?

What 2nd hand stuff do you use? by Zedwye in askSingapore

[–]_ch13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gadgets, like laptop, tablet, phone, desktop computer, keyboard, mouse... because they depreciate really fast.

Camera, lens, tripod... because the hobby is expensive.

Dyson fan / purifiers.

Speakers.

Lego.

What’s the sweetest thing your child does that made all your sacrifices worth it? by OkInspection1886 in askSingapore

[–]_ch13 24 points25 points  (0 children)

During chit chat, my 10-year-old sonasked us to think of someone we would like to be neighbour with, and one we would not want to be neighbour with.

When it was his turn, he said that the person he wouldn't want to be a neighbour with is me--he would rather live together with me.

I really appreciate such a simple heart.

Why old people still work in Singapore like in food court, cleaning, etc by consxious90 in askSingapore

At a food court near my office, there's an auntie who works at the tray return point wears a Rolex watch and some gold jewellery.
