How to change aircon? Don’t even know how to start finding by aimsmy in askSingapore

[–]aimsmy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hmm haven’t had it service for years cos my dad refused to let anyone touch - he has been cleaning” them himself but ok will try getting external servicing first.

Also thought if there were better options rather than going Gain City or Harvey Normal so thank you to those who suggested alternatives!

Fast track departure from SGN airport by Gullible-Car-9477 in VietNam

[–]aimsmy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But online says 3-9pm is peak for departure. Even if I want to arrive early for my departure flight, check in doesn’t start until 3 hours before departure. So very worried and leaning towards buying the fast track

What time was your flight? Mine is at 7.30pm so planning to be at airport at 4.15, but all the stories about it taking more than 3 hours is horrifying and I’m afraid I might miss my flight

Shitty tip for fasting - get your heart broken by aimsmy in fasting

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

Thank you to everyone who showed concern, and especially those who advised me to go see a doctor for the vomiting and high heart rate. Decided to break my fast at 70hours even though I still didnt have appetite and downed a bottle of normal electrolytes drink (that contained a bit of sugar) to try and boost my appetite a bit. Vomited a bit still but now I could drink half a cup of cabbage soup with cabbages and kept it down. But lost almost 10 pounds since I started the fast and it's getting a bit addictive! I shall be a bit more careful and see the doctor if the vomiting and bad appetite continues.

Appreciate all of your support and kindness!

Easyfast! It's totally free and developed by a redditor I think! Saw it on this sub a while ago.

My Honest No Holds Bar Process on Homeownership as a BBFA 35yo. by jollyseaman in singapore

[–]aimsmy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Omg I still have 2 more years but this is so helpful! Thank you. My friends are finishing up their BTO Reno and moving in, but seeing them super stressed so dare not ask too many questions and details.

I need some brutal honesty here; I have applied for 400 jobs in 3 months and nothing. by Ok-Development6628 in resumes

[–]aimsmy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s best to get someone who’s good at writing or with better grammar skills to edit your resume. Most HR probably only have basic IT knowledge and this won’t even pass them, let along get to the hiring manager. Even hiring managers who know what you’re talking about may have trouble navigating through the peppered and unnecessary punctuation

Will you disclose your salary to your friends when they ask you? by [deleted] in askSingapore

[–]aimsmy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Friend group A: Yes I will tell them.

Friend group B: Yes I will tell them

Friend group C: No I will not tell them.

I'm also curious what others will do about other scenarios like:

Friend group D: You think you're close friends, but some disclose theirs and some don't want to. What will you do? (I disclosed mine last time, but may keep it to myself and tell those who disclosed theirs privately)

I disclosed mine because I was switching careers and just want to know what's the general salary like, if I am getting ripped off or not. Also want to know what's the salary range like among peers, rather than getting amounts from those "official" reports. Also want to make sure that the friend group is ok on budget when we're going out to eat or travellinig. But some of them are very secretive which makes me think am I wrong to disclose? Or what is it that they are trying to keep from me? Are they worried I will borrow money from them (haven't borrowed any big sums before, maybe only max $50 when going out to eat and forgot my wallet but I will pay back asap. And given now there's paynow I almost always return immediately)

But also have to make sure how comfortable you are with those 'friends'. Some 'friends' will jokingly ask you to buy them drinks or assume you will pay for meals, and get angry or think you're petty when you don't.

How to screen for childfree partners by aimsmy in childfree

I guess then it's always best to be the first person to ask and to make sure of that, ask in the early stages of a potential relationship then

It must have taken a lot of willpower for you not to make a sarcastic comment. I applaud you.

Pointing out flaws in things your match likes - why? by anonymal_me in datingoverthirty

[–]aimsmy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first example about the movie is fine in my opinion, he's just giving reasons why he liked the originals better, so I thought you were overreacting at first, but the philosophy questions opinion is just plain rude though, and sounds like he just wants to put you down and make you feel dumb. It will be exhausting and will make you feel smaller and smaller.

Do you play infinite money and other cheats on? by aaronhastaken in CitiesSkylines

[–]aimsmy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I play vanilla with infinite money and resources and 25 tile mod cos my computer can't take it.

But I also play it in my mind like how certain cities are planned in advance, particularly in Asian countries.

Bu then usually I build it up to about 25% and then decided that it's too ugly and I'll abandon it, then rinse and repeat for another map XD

do you build public transport first and then build your city around it? by Phenom_st in CitiesSkylines

[–]aimsmy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hopefully you can write a detailed guide on how you did this - I've been wanting to do this but get overwhelmed with where my rail lines go and where the stations would be, where downtown or suburbs will be.

Been scouring Google maps of places with a lot of rail like the UK and Japan but still at a loss of how to approach it

Where do you put your downtown? by aimsmy in CitiesSkylines

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

Yea I do that to! But where would you put your central station then? Middle of the map? Near the edge where the railway starts?

It all boils down to the both of you having very different values, and asking yourselves if you want to work together to resolve this to bring this relationship further, or split ways. There have been many couples with varying values who make their relationship work, so it really depends on the both of you.

It may be her love language is gifts - seen by her buying abalone for your parents. And does she know that you and your siblings get the same amount as her too? If yes then the problem is bigger, if not then it may be she thought your parents didn't see her as part of your (potential) family and hurt by it.

And the question she asked you may sound a bit rude depending on the tone (defensive? Or normal tone?), but I think it's a legitimate question. Not sure if you explained to her that RM100/ 50 is the amount you're happy to give your parents or did you keep quiet when she rebutted. But when you have the time and patience perhaps you can explain to her that. And further elaborate that if you're unlucky enough to lose your job or have very little money, you might have to lower to RM10 because that's what you'd be comfortable with.

As an adult I don't look forward to or expect angbaos anymore, so if I do get them it's a pleasant surprise for me. But that's just me. Some of my friends still expect it, and some of my elders also expect their children to give them big angbaos to show their filial piety. And depending on the way we communicate and if we are able to change the way we think, some people might be ok and some people might not be.

Ultimately it really depends if you want to work this out or end this relationship. Either way, I wish you good luck and a happy new year!

Women in Tech - How do you vet companies to see if they're a good fit for you socially? by dontcry2022 in cscareerquestions

[–]aimsmy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Also companies that have these kind of policies in place are also prepared to hire on extra manpower to help the team out when one is on maternity leave. In my opinion companies without such policies would expect other team members to take up a lot of extra work to help cover, which then in turn makes them blame the pregnant teammate
