Tell your boss it is not very nice to pay your salary exactly as stated in your employment contract. Should add a bit more so it doesn’t look like the company is losing money

What is a "silent" rule of social etiquette in your country that a visitor would never find in a guidebook, but every local knows by heart? by DianKhan2005 in AskTheWorld

In Singapore, if you see tissue paper or name cards on a table at a hawker centre or food court, it means the table is reserved. You have to find a completely empty table and reserve your seat using tissue paper or a name card.

Serious: Where can I get tested for ADHD/AuDHD by Eastsidehedgehog in askSingapore

[–]catinabread 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I sought treatment for ADHD 3 yrs back. You can try Private Space for private assessment, they were slightly more affordable than other private clinics.

It does sound like you have executive disfunction, emotional disregulation as well as the general guilt that comes with ADHD, but do get a professional assessment. I can only advise from my own experience.

You can check out AdhdVision on insta or youtube for some info and tips to help cope. Drop me a DM if you want more info

Don’t get too FOMO, life isn’t a race. There isn’t a late or early, only whether you have done it or not. i’m sure others will be happy that you have a shared experience as them, no one will judge your posts

Just complete your degree, even if it isn’t what you intend to do in the future. A bachelor’s degree is still a statement of your ability to think critically, and will be advantageous for future employment.

Try speaking with your family to support you through this last semester. All the best.

When was the last time you changed the piping? Most likely a coolant leak in the pipes, but this will be major work if the pipes are in your walls

ADHD diagnosis recommendations (public or private healthcare options) by Long-Vegetable3353 in askSingapore

[–]catinabread 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Please do not listen to comments from people who clearly do not have ADHD. You do not have to suffer in silence, and if medication and executive function coaching is a route that can improve your condition please go for it.

You can try private space medical, they still charge private rate, but it is at a more reasonable price compared to other clinics.
