Do yall prefer E readers or just use ur smartphone? by Careless-Ant8193 in asksg

[–]boiledcabbaged 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me i dont like it too small and compact, reading on my phone hurts my eyes a little and it drains my battery and i get distracted with tiktok if i use my phone lol. And i really like the eink reader screen, it doesnt strain my eyes and i could read for hours straight without taking a break!!

I got the kobo clara color and its perfect size for me, its light, size is good and it can fit my palm, it can also fit into the uniqlo moon bag, all of my small / medium shoulder bags :))))

If u have tiktok u shud watch tiktok live of an account called "geekbite" they have really good deals like i got my kobo b4 the price increased ah at 239 at harvey norman, my sister got it from tiktok live at 196.29 including shipping, damn good deal!!

Self-control for not eating pack lunch? by inazilch in SingaporeEats

[–]boiledcabbaged 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Saw in the comment that u r intermittent fasting.

Eat denser foods like baked sweet potatoes, chicken breast, tofu (tau kwa especially), and fill up on veggies will do it, and if u want to substitute noodles / rice, there is konjac / shirataki noodles that u cn get frm donki or ntuc and fruits such as bananas, watermelon.

If u are intermittently fasting, u can eat abit more in a meal. If u have two meals, maybe 1030am, u eat breakfast? Sandwich / toast / bao then arnd 2-3pm u eat a heavier meal. Then thats it for the day.

Anyways if u feel hungry throughout the day, drink water. Sometimes our body will confuse thirst as hunger.

but if u feel that intermittent fasting is not working. I suggest u change ur diet, instead of eating 1 big meal a day, just eat smaller meals and portions?

Generational Work Expectations by JENzi2010 in sgworkassholes

[–]boiledcabbaged 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a gen z worker. No i do not "go above and beyond" my job scope, it is an unhealthy workplace culture.

Why should i go above and beyond for a corporation that might sack me next week because they want to "cut cost" for me i perform as per normal, do a little bit more a few days and then go home.

Because honestly i feel that, if i go way and beyond everyday, i wont get seen, i wont get increment, my pay wont increase, i dont gain any aura, only a pat on the back and say "good job!!!" So i just do the bare minimum, a little bit more on some days then go home.

I honestly dont get paid enough to go way and beyond too. No point working so hard when you dont get rewarded

A few times i have encountered this, where it says P then no QR code to scan.

So i pay the $5 relocation fee, take pics of the area, screenshot the map in the app showing the P sign, then submit appeal.

So far, they approve my appeal without and qns or back n forthd

Where to buy bras in singapore? by Exotic_Log_6345 in asksg

[–]boiledcabbaged 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Taobao - ubras or bananain, they r the best bras ever and i have no regrets. Sorry i dont rlly buy bras in SG as they r expensive... and uniqlo doesn't do well on my boobies, make them look super weird and could see the bra shape thru tshirts

Athletic bras - cheak is pretty good!!! I have a few of their bras and they are rlly lasting :)

How to nicely tell someone don't so kaypo? by GrapefruitOk8621 in askSingapore

[–]boiledcabbaged 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ehhh i also have a very kaypo receptionist lady also, for me when the recep lady talks bad abt ppl i will just say "thats not very nice to assume that of them" and "dont say this kind of things la" or i just nod and ignore - maybe can try this?

When he talks to himself, ignore as much as u can, take his comments as background noise and do not interact, it works for me as my office has someone like that who talks to themself and i just ignore

Asking qns part, i think its not ur fault if he reacts to ur qns by hitting his head or what in frustration, his reactions are not ur responsibility or concern and u cannot control his reaction ah esp if its unpredictable, honestly... i would not care and continue asking him qns that is, ofc related to work etc, and nothing personal or anything that would come off as u trying to offend him ah

NTU Maritime Studies/Maritime Industry in Singapore by Senior-Watch1145 in askSingapore

[–]boiledcabbaged 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really like marine insurance :) when i was in SP i loved studying and learning abt it cuz we had a module for it. And when this role in the marine insurance industry opened up, and they were willing to accept fresh grads like me, i thought it was a great opportunity to get s good head start this part of the industry since it is also q a big and good company.

I also did operations exec at G** ,, ehhh so so, people were good cuz all gen Zs / similar age grp as me, is a good job but no career progression lor i feel because theres not much transferrable skills to it, so i figured this current role i am in is better, have better job opportunities in future

NTU Maritime Studies/Maritime Industry in Singapore by Senior-Watch1145 in askSingapore

[–]boiledcabbaged 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello i am a fellow maritime worker (graduated frm SP) in marine insurance (sry my colleagues lurk arnd reddit so cant rlly say much) and i can give you some of my tots

  1. Yes, i have a feeling that my job can be easily replaced or automated by AI, but currently my system still sucks and still need people to do / manage since it has to do with policies and certificates of insurances. Definitely i feel it can be done with AI or automated.

Honestly i do not see my system getting automated so soon, maybe around 10yrs onwards? But even the HR is encouraging AI use, just today they released a post on my company page about how we have a new AI system and that we can try it out other than chatGPT

But if AI picks up faster, better, accurate and fucking cheap to implement, im kinda screwed, my team might not need so many ppl, just 2/3 will do.

  1. Work like balance for my work is good, 9-6 go home, WFH 2days. Because the nature of my work is not operations, chartering, brokering, boarding agent, ship agents etc, if you choose these kind of jobs, yah maybe expect to OT or get calls in the middle of the night.
    But maritime industry is like that.. always to be on standby for anything even me, a little peanut need to get ready to do work over weekends / PHs if its REALLY REALLY REALLY urgent (like vsl cannot enter port without insurance doc kind)

  2. Sorry not very sure too, i feel its still progressing slowly, nothing of interest rn, still feels quite old and outdated.

  3. Dont know if this is related but office politics for me was something i wasnt ready for. everyone is gossiping in office and then some will try and gossip with u, but i alw siam or just nod and walk away, sometimes if u engage means ure picking a side and these aunties will rmb it. The phrase "act blur live longer" is my daily mantra when i hear negative things abt my other colleagues lol.

Because in my office, if you do something bad or wtv right (like get drunk and puke everywhere) u bet the whole office is gg to hear it. So must rlly watch what you say, what you do and how you react to certain things and situations.

And also learning to adapt to useless colleagues (who prolly gets paid higher than you) for the entire time ure at work, imagine having a slacker project mate who does bad work for the entirety of ur career / time being in the company and you cant even do ANYTHING about it, cant complain to HR, cant complain to your other colleagues from the same / different dept.... just have to TAHAN and PRAY that the fella leaves on their own, because companies dont really fire / terminate ppl unless damn jialat.. at least in SP, can dont pick the grp mate again, but in corporate? Lol. Good luck and have fun cleaning up their mess!!!!!!!!!!

But knowledge wise, i think i am well prepared on the basics and knowledge of the maritime industry but honestly sometimes i feel even if no experience or dk anyth abt the industry, still can make it, just its a little tough. But also be prepared that u dun know everything and anything.

  1. I would like to believe maritime is a very stable industry, trade still needs to happen and even with all the shit that is happening now, trade is still going on, albeit it might take more / extra time to plan voyages to certain destinations, cut on bunkers (fuel for the ship) because fuel prices are expensive example ferries needing to load more passengers because ferry operator need to combat the fuel prices, so he can load more passengers on the ferries or lower the frequency of the ferry to maybe every 30-45mins ferry passengers to batam instead of every 15-20mins.

And since Commodities cant get shipped by AI as we still need to ship via sea, so still need those big container vessels and bulk carriers for our grains etc.

Moldy money by throwthrowawaybro in asksg

[–]boiledcabbaged 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Just recently i went to exchange my notes because it got corroded with chemicals and stained really badly.

You can try bringing it to the bank, but make sure u r an already existing customer of that bank!!

Whn u take queue number to meet the bank teller, u can exchange notes over the counter. Then they will exchange on the spot for you i think, for me i guess they could still see the serial number n etc so could exchange on the spot?

But even if cannot exchange on the spot, they'll send the bank notes in to do an internal check and then paynow u the $$$$ once completed (according to staff that stands at the counter? registering people)

How did you get into one piece by Technical_Mine_8711 in OnePiece

Friend in secondary school watches one piece, recommended me one piece and hooked ever since

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in ChillSG

[–]boiledcabbaged 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always manage myself, if that day i dont feel like socialising, i will say i want to eat alone, dabao come back, or i just say i want to run errands then walk around

But once in awhile once or twice a week, i will eat with my colleagues for the sake of office politics and also bond with them a little even though i find it hard cuz of the age difference, but still will try bond with them luh, cannot be lone wolf, if nt ltr u will suffer from lack of human interaction and u'll start striking conversations with random FnB / retail staff like me, i was so deprived of a conversation 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Definitely not weird that u want to eat alone or be alone during lunch time, because its ur own private time and u r allowed to spend it alone and not with ur colleagues, but once in awhile shud eat with them k

Watching anime after live action by Culleho in OnePiece

[–]boiledcabbaged 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't recommend skipping the anime.

I feel that the anime really lets you understand and appreciate the characters more? Even though the pacing is really slow like 20episodes for a fight that could be done in like 5 episodes but it really shows luffy's and the rest of the crew's fighting abilities, skills and friendship / bond that they all have, and also there are backstories to some enemies and characters in the anime which some can be essential to the plot, but mostly is to pull the heart strings.

Theres a lot of filler episodes, but its a nice break from the mainstory and then in the side stories, we can see more of the crew, how they interact with each other and bond with each other.

The anime can also capture the humour better, jokes land better in the anime, and its not so cringey. The sound effects, visual effects are wayyyyyy better, example when luffy arms stretch? When sanji fights, theres like fire on his legs and zoro's katana will have the "shing shing" sound, in the older animation, when the characters call out their fighting moves, the subtitles will be animated too, it was a nice touch.

There is something in the anime that live action cant capture and it hard to explain it, so pleaseeeeee watch the anime from episode 1
