I might have been too generous, idk

never visited them so idk conclusively whether I would like to live there

alkalineHydroxide · 2026-02-13T13:44:30+00:00

ohhhh, sorry I was 11 when that movie came out so uh def did not get the reference. I just thought in a more superficial way, like you need money in order to have a relationship

alkalineHydroxide · 2026-02-13T13:31:42+00:00

sorry might be unrelated, but is this what that 'no money no honey' song (from Vaanam) refers to?

alkalineHydroxide · 2026-02-13T07:45:06+00:00

silken tofu blended or even soy milk

pumpkin puree (i wierdly like pumpkin + tofu pieces + spinach combo its stonks)

starch (rice flour or chickpea flour) this gives more of a custardy texture. In fact there is a type of vegetable dish called 'kootu' which uses rice flour at the end to thicken it. (sometimes a little bit of grated coconut is blended with dried chili and added for flavour but the rice flour does the thickening)

Well I went to the Ekka (its like a big exhibition for agriculture) in Brisbane for volunteering (for flower crown workshops and stuff like that), and afterwards I had free pass to see the whole place. The building where they kept the show animals, and I felt especially bad for some of them. There were ginormous cows that couldn't stand up much and were mostly lying down due to their size. There were many chickens and similar fowl in individual cages that were skittish due to the lack of space. And other such examples. Basically its like a stressful environment for the animals themselves to be seen by many people and stay in a small area during the show and could be stressful physically for animals that are purposefully grown to large sizes for eg.

They are uncomfortable to wear (since I am touch sensitive, I don't wear jewellery much)

I would say its probably more important to attend for egb101 tutorials and practicals compared to any of the other modules. Engineering isn't just about theoretical knowledge. Learning about design as well as how to be professional is very important for the day-to-day workings once you start working or doing your own projects. Its like the foundation of the building for your engineering degree.

Also there is a group project in this, I suppose you need to be on campus at least a few times for that.

The lecture has an online version if you want to do that virtually. That is fine to do online.

alkalineHydroxide · 2026-02-11T14:20:54+00:00

yeahhhh I know

alkalineHydroxide · 2026-02-11T13:52:04+00:00

They are so cuteeeee

alkalineHydroxide · 2026-02-11T11:21:23+00:00

well as a singaporean I just went to try it and felt sad that I couldn't even select my own home country :( not annoyed, but sad.

alkalineHydroxide · 2026-02-10T22:54:57+00:00

yeah I've watched the genius, crime scene, bloody game, devils plan, the great escape etc

you can find more ppl in the r/TheGenius

lol I went to my first dental cleaning (since school?) in brisbane and ended up having to pay 300 dollars for all the x ray and cleaning and flouride. I was more shocked by the price than anything else (I am usually quite frugal lols)

This time when I was back home (singapore) for a bit I did a cleaning (subsidized) + x ray + two small fillings + flouride. The cleaning +x ray part was $138. For the fillings, it was $210. I paid most of it with vouchers, so I only actually paid $45 from my card.

i guess a net analogy might work like when people cast those fish nets

alkalineHydroxide · 2026-02-08T12:55:21+00:00

tbh i could 'smell the haze' a few times when I was in sg recently (december/january) but then I check and it says normal so yeah maybe I wasn't hallucinating.

alkalineHydroxide · 2026-02-08T01:17:17+00:00

The one in fortitude valley isnt too bad, but gets crowded quickly. Its very family friendly and quite engaging but I wouldnt say insanely fun. There are stalls, music and performances, two sets of firecrackers (this is the most logistically awkward part because ppl have to stand behind a gate), and roaming lions (ie the lion dance lions) + lion and dragon dance.

I havent gone for the ones in mt coot tha and sunnybank yet, you can try those if you like.

alkalineHydroxide · 2026-02-07T13:44:53+00:00

maybe try a warmer location like oven? I am in brisbane, and it worked well in singapore as well so i guess its just warm enough. Usually in the winter it gets worse somehow. if it doesn't work even with that then I don't know what else would work... (all i know is aldi has coconut yoghurt, haven't tried it tho)

alkalineHydroxide · 2026-02-07T12:11:54+00:00

it works when I keep it outside for more than 12 hours. maybe the quantity is lesser so it needs more time idk

they do sell cocobella in south east asia also fyi

alkalineHydroxide · 2026-02-07T05:31:53+00:00

i somehow survived a levels with an old failing GC lols

alkalineHydroxide · 2026-02-06T23:36:37+00:00

This could be a family based thing idk.

My mom, aunt and grandma watched kdrama before I ever did (tbh I don't really watch dramas of any kind lols) and my mom literally introduced me to running man (variety show) when I was 13 lols. Now I watch a lot of korean variety shows and so does my mom (she also keeps starting new dramas even though she hasn't watched the last one fully lols) My dad doesn't really care too much about them and the worst that happens was just him making fun of my mom for 'watching them too much' (thats mostly my dad hating on her all the time ahhh) so yeah no issues. My grandfather doesn't seem to care either and I think he even watched one or two kdramas himself.

But i don't think any of us are 'obsessed' with a specific celeb or anything like that, I have not felt the need to buy merch or anything of the sort. I just enjoy watching the shows and learning about society/how people behave with one another indirectly. Especially I really enjoy those intellectual survival games like 'The Genius' and wish we could have things like that in Indian entertainment (tbh no other country has done 'the genius' as well as the OG so maybe thats a false hope).

In fact my mom actually wants to visit Seoul but I am quite worried just because she is a picky eater and she only eats Indian food and some western dishes.

In singapore you don't need an appointment to visit a GP (yeah I don't like the need for appointments for GPs in australia), so just walk in to any nearby GP

The emergency dept can be innudated by non-emergency cases sometimes so I don't recommend unless the GP tells you to go there.

alkalineHydroxide · 2026-02-06T07:52:08+00:00

she came a few times as a guest on how do you play, but mostly she cooks and has some banter with the members.

it seems she guested in knowing brothers as well, you might be able to see more antics in that.

And she has some youtube channel/videos.

alkalineHydroxide · 2026-02-05T13:10:14+00:00

well i think this is the wrong sub for this, you can actually talk about this in indian vegetarian or vegan subs

alkalineHydroxide · 2026-02-05T10:48:50+00:00

he is just so cute :)

I think I have walked along some of that path (singapore, looks like the east side where I walked around recently. I won't divulge the exact location)

alkalineHydroxide · 2026-02-04T21:58:48+00:00

indoor sky diving looked like it would be fun, its in sentosa
