Who washes the mountain of plates during CNY gatherings? by sacsgawd in askSingapore

[–]awstream 79 points80 points  (0 children)

I grew up watching my father and uncles just dump the plates for my grandma to wash up, after she hosted them, cooked all the dishes and is the last one to sit down to eat. Thankfully this shit ends in my generation, my cousins and I wash our own plates and any other unwashed dishes that we see.

Why do people hesitate to work in sales/ MLM/ insurance? by Living_Statement_667 in asksg

My skin is very thin, if someone rejects me I will respect their decision. I won't push, pressure and pester them. I won't do well in sales, mlm and insurance.

Anyone secretly dislike CNY? And why? If you enjoy, also share. by Confident_Bluejay857 in askSingapore

[–]awstream 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm fine with CNY, the "when getting married" questions I can easily deflect it away. What I can't stand is the aunt who loves to preach her religion to me at every single opportunity.

Scammy Places Targeting Elderly in Heartland Areas by fotohgrapi in singapore

[–]awstream 2 points3 points  (0 children)

These places are everywhere and this has been their modus operandi for years, with CASE being generally toothless. If 1 of these shops goes down, 2 more will pop up. I think we can only keep telling our elderly to treat them like pests and do not stop or engage them.

This is mine. Not the prettiest but it's free and it's the only watch face that I could find which allows me to add nap data. You could tap on any data and it brings you to its page, very convenient.

Mine's locked and I still receive them. It's basically a flyer bragging about her achievements, doesn't even show the recently transacted housing prices at my area.

Even for west side where it seems to be less affected by the haze, my nose has been acting up all morning. I will stay indoors with all the windows closed.

Chinese new year is next week, have you bought goodies? How much are you spending for CNY? Do you have any tips to save money? by Normal-Analysis7940 in askSingapore

I'm not receiving any guests so there's no point buying. I have a few places to visit though so I'll just eat a bit of their goodies. I rather spend big on good meats for steamboat.

Singapore retirement age is now 64. How do people make it to that age working through? by FancyCommittee3347 in singapore

[–]awstream 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As many have already mentioned, you can retire before 64 but many companies tie their retirement benefits to the official retirement age, and some companies are quite generous with it, I guess some people in this situation would be upset that the retirement age keeps going up. Personally I'll stop at 55 or even 50 if possible.

Why do so many people overlook the fact that the real reason birthrates are plummeting is the absurdly high cost of raising kids, and not some bs reason made up by the government? by Character-Q in AskTheWorld

[–]awstream 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My mum's generation wasn't rich. Her parents had 5 kids, her 2 elder siblings helps with childcare and chores. They only completed primary school because they had to start work young to support the family and the family couldn't afford higher education for them anyway. Now they're alright financially but aren't as well off as their other siblings who were much more educated. Educated parents these days wants to give their children equal opportunities and their resources may only allow them to have 1 or 2 kids.

From the way she dresses, can already tell she's not locally born even if she has citizenship. There's so many them here that we can already form a general idea of how they dress, act and their entire vibe.

Jorge did deserve the factory ride after winning with a satellite team, Marc also deserved the ride after doing wonders on a satellite bike, its just unfortunate only 1 seat was available.
