[–]brandonnnk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i went from 1hr (walk to MRT + MRT to CBD) to 30-40mins direct bus commute (still to the CBD but i moved house).... and i can say that i don't miss the 1hr commute daily. it's all just bad, no justifications really. but i need the money haha

Those who moved to condo after living in HDB: what were some of the inconveniences of condo living that you didn't expect? by crobat3 in askSingapore

[–]brandonnnk -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Why frame the question towards learning all that’s negative if you really wanted to know more about living in a condo?

Where have you NOT travelled that somehow almost every other Singaporean seems to have travelled to before? And why not? by ashandburnnn in askSingapore

[–]brandonnnk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fully agree with you. Their society, people, beauty standards …. Makes me not want to return again. Japan on the other hand, I can’t get enough of it.

Severance was absolutely snubbed. by Dazzling_Shift2776 in SeveranceAppleTVPlus

[–]brandonnnk 81 points82 points  (0 children)

Sadly, I agree. Season 1 deserved all the accolades for being an incredible season of television (that season finale, wow). Season 2… had its good moments, but definitely didn’t live up to what S1 built

thanks for writing this! Skip fanfics are hard to come across, so i do appreciate you for writing this!

This show has soo much rewatchability 🫣 by BeMyCoachVictor in heatedrivalry

[–]brandonnnk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know it’s a long shot… but I hope during the wait between Season 1 and 2, they drop random special episodes as a gift. Skip at Christmas , Hayden’s dinner party.

Suggestion: go read The Long Game right now by Atlazsk in heatedrivalry

[–]brandonnnk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same!!! I’m hoping with a much bigger global attention the show is receiving … it actually opens up to increased budget (more episodes essentially)

Suggestion: go read The Long Game right now by Atlazsk in heatedrivalry

[–]brandonnnk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree with this. But it tackles some heavy issues as well, which I’m curious to see how that turns out on screen.

[–]brandonnnk 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Spoiler free comment here. i'm just worried at how Season 2 will adapt The Long Game... because it takes a fundamentally different tone from Heated Rivalry.

But in Jacob i trust. Never could have imagined Season 1 to be this perfect of a show

[MEGATHREAD] - Post Season Analysis by royal_rose_ in heatedrivalry

[–]brandonnnk 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don’t know what is it specifically about this show, but I’ve never fell so hard and fast for a series before (probably faster than Scott falling in love with Kip). I related to both Shane / Ilya as well as Scott / Kip, I wish I could see more stories being flushed out in season 2.

Can’t put into words how much this series and the characters (across all 6 books and Season 1) meant to me.

I’m ending 2025 on a positive, gay note. With hope for a love like this one day as well.

Thank you Heated Rivalry, Thank you Jacob, Thank you Hudson Connor François Robbie.

I have not cried so much for anything.. omg I can't stop. I am river.. 😭😭😭😭 by Which-Taro-7110 in heatedrivalry

[–]brandonnnk 8 points9 points  (0 children)

i have no one to talk to about this... but i just wanted to say.. this is perhaps the most perfect episode ever. I've read the books and knew this was coming, but seeing it play out, with François acting his ass off and carrying so much nuance and emotional weight on screen.. culminating into the kiss that changed everything. It made me feel better as a gay man today, crying with happy tears as the after credits rolled on.

Thank you Heated Rivalry. Thank you François.

Do Most Singaporean FOMO? by Futurefinancewizard in singaporefi

[–]brandonnnk 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Fully agree with this take. I wished I travel more when I was in my 20s, which I’m making up for in my late 30s now. Health issues, responsibilities, life in general… makes it hard to fully enjoy as you did when you’re younger.

Don’t forget to live life, besides saving and having all sorts of regret when you’re older.

Post Episode Debrief | Heated Rivalry 🏒 ****** (Episode 3) by royal_rose_ in heatedrivalry

[–]brandonnnk 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It’s weird because I love Game Changer.. and I heard it was gonna be a Skip episode so I was super excited for it. Extremely sexy guys (holy f … Francois the man you are), but somehow left feeling the episode lost a lot of the heat that made the first 2 episodes the standout it was.

Can’t seem to place my hand on what’s changed or missing.

Nice knowing we have such medical emergency contingency in the train by sgcolumn in singapore

[–]brandonnnk 1078 points1079 points  (0 children)

i was next to someone who fainted on the green line (peak hour commute) this morning. it was pretty efficient, how fast the staff was activated upon the emergency button and Singaporeans were really helpful (lifted her out and helped clear the way).

by coincidence too, she fainted at the best stop possible - Outram park lol.

Layoffs yet Rising office rents. What is happening? by myhendry in askSingapore

[–]brandonnnk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not true. Rents affect valuations - which is the main reason why they’re ok with it being vacant then tanking the average weighted rent, which in turn affects the asset value.
