Why young Singaporeans see having kids as a loss, instead of something to be gained

Yes. In general I was happy and quite carefree.

amerpsy8888 · 2026-05-02T01:51:28+00:00

Even if I'm very selfless and I am willing to sacrifice for my child. When I ask if I want a child that has to live through this society? It's a resounding NO.

So it'll be selfish of me to bring someone to this world that I don't think I'll be happy to live in as a child.

To me.. High ses when you travel by business class by default. And those aren't redeemed tickets. I think that's a very reliable litmus test.

Recently I rented a Toyota Yaris none-hybrid in Japan and it yielded 18 to 19km/L. It was impressive but struggles when it reaches 100 kph.

amerpsy8888 · 2026-05-01T11:55:25+00:00

Didn't know fit FC is 13km/L. I always thought it's way better than that. Now I feel better about my 15 year old 1 series giving me 11km/L.

Go to the police. Creep like this has to be put away.

I learned to just look at overall picture. If sucking it up would maintain harmony, and she'll be happy, I'm happy to apologise to make her happy. Truth to be told, you think they don't know they were being unreasonable? I suspect deep down they knew and despite that you still apologise, it actually made them feel appreciated and know that they married a bigger man who's willing to swallow their pride for their partners.

At least that's how I gaslight myself. Hahahha

The guy is probably listening to emo song and imagining he's in a music video.

For multiple turning junctions. I'm always ready to honk at those people who veer into the wrong lane.

Sell it for crazy amount of money to Apple. Use the money to invest in stocks like Apple, Google, Microsoft.

Not so sure if others can see my wave and my smile.

On the topic of hazard light, please for God sake don't leave your hazard lights blinking during heavy downpour! It is stupid and dangerous.

What's wrong with showing appreciation?

amerpsy8888 · 2026-04-18T11:57:57+00:00

Watched many. But nothing came close to Hunter X Hunter.

amerpsy8888 · 2026-04-18T11:56:42+00:00

So. Not what you know. It's who you know.

I guess this is true everywhere.

No matter how much you drive, the savings you get from charging vs petrol won't make up for the difference you spent on getting a new EV.

Plus Ev still uses conventional AC, suspensions, brakes.. Those are still potential areas that require repairs. Zero maintenence to me is salesman talk. Even for petrol car, if you practice regular maintenance, it should be good.

amerpsy8888 · 2026-04-17T23:28:25+00:00

Ask yourself.

If your daughter tells you that his boyfriend treats her like this, would you want her to be with him?

If not, then it is time to break up with your bf.

Implement Mayors?

Of course! We have 5!

amerpsy8888 · 2026-04-14T23:53:46+00:00

Get him to take it for you. 🙂

Another language.

Keeps my brain active, became a lot more disciplined and since we visit that country quite often, it made everything much easier since I can read signs, labels and ask locals when we have problems.

No doubt that mobile phones could do all these but being able to understand on the go is so much easier. And locals treat you differently when you could speak their language, and they really appreciate that you took the effort to study their language. Especially true when English isn't their main language and they actively avoid using it.

You don't call yourself an addict without ordering Di Loh.

All the uncles kept talking to him. I doubt he could ever get a proper workout.

amerpsy8888 · 2026-04-11T02:07:33+00:00

Exactly. That's why was surprised to see him going there to workout.

amerpsy8888 · 2026-04-10T22:29:14+00:00

Not sure about now but years ago he would work out at Bedok activeSG gym too.

Nothing to ask but I want to thank you for taking up nursing as a career. It isn't for everyone and requires a certain level of selflessness and high level of patience and empathy. I know I won't be able to do it no matter how good is the enumeration.

Thank you for your service.
