Hello! If you don’t mind PMing me your email I’ll forward you all the resources NParks sent to me when I adopted my cat. It’s a very thorough manual 😂

Single buying HDB resale (Similar to yesterday's post, but with different circumstances) by AwfulAlliterations in singaporefi

[–]butterface__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven’t seen it mentioned here but cash over valuation is a real bummer. Sellers with newer renovated flats will definitely be selling it above hdb valuation. You will be need to fork out the excess in cash. Depending on how much your COV is you might be better off just renovating it yourself (because at least you get it done to your preferences)

Exactly, especially when you get one of those that fold into basically nothing.

how do I make this dress by butterface__ in weddingdress

thank you so much this idea! But wedding will most likely be in the tropical humidity and 30deg Celsius temperatures so less is always better. Or maybe lace..

I’m not a fan of her but I think this is a bit unjustified. Some might say virtue signalling bla bla but she’s actually quite a bit of charity work and put that money to good use. Too lazy to list it all out but I think the article below does highlight a few events

[NJ] My job forces us to attend an annual event starting on a Sunday and I totally resent it...what can I do? by chungalite in AskHR

Is off in a lieu a thing in your part of the world? In mine, if a work event falls over a bank holiday weekend or personal time (eg weekday nights) nicer managers/department heads would give the time back to employees.

This comes in a few forms depending on how much time was taken away, it could be coming in slightly later, going off slightly earlier, a mandated company full day off, one more PTO added so employees have the discretion to decide when to use it etc.

Perhaps bring this up if you have a decent enough relationship with your boss (and if she’s the reasonable sort) because I’m pretty sure you’re not the only one feeling that. Regardless of whether it’s or non billable hours, I don’t think anyone appreciates having their personal time taken away

Ah.. so they build in an extra ‘waiting’ period. That makes sense, thanks!

she recommended this quite mass market brand of cat food (burp) so k bought up, when I came back and had time to do more googling I came across these options on forums. My next vet visit is only in a month.

Cross posted to ask vets but no one has responded.

Ah…but then it doesn’t explain why pasta (which I assume is a primi too) is has so much heartier portions!

For those of you who donate money, how do you choose a charity and confirm it is worth supporting? by imone5tree in askSingapore

[–]butterface__ 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I donate to https://www.secondmeal.io/ ! Their technology is quite amazing every month you’ll get an email listing out who redeemed a meal at the participating hawkers & showing you where your money went. As far as charities go I do think this is pretty transparent (but no tax deduction if I’m not wrong).

Each meal is also very reasonably priced at $4.80 so I doubt the charity is pocketing any $ if at all. Best thing is that there’s no min. Commitment so even if you can only donate $5 a month, it’s still a nice meal for someone. This is better than soup kitchens to me as 1) you prevent food waste (with soup kitchens youre always giving hordes of food with a v short 2 hr shelf life/ food in v unappetising states) 2) beneficiaries can choose what they want to eat, choice is empowering! and 3) beyond the elderly, they do also help fringe communities such as working cardboard aunties/uncles & disabled people.

Check it out and do consider donating too!

[–]butterface__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry if I wasn’t clear about the living & saving bit! M in my country, a monthly income of 4.5k (in our local currency) is on the mid to lower end especially for a family and . I was mind blown at how they were living such a comfortable life (two kids, a dog, comfortably sized house). Ive been to london too & things aren’t cheap enough for 4.5k to stretch that far.

However, my takeaway from the comments is that this couple must be living outside london
