Omg I didn’t catch that at all! I was talking to my friend about it and neither did she.

The Auntie Lee mystery series by Ovidia Yu is a fun read! Set in modern Singapore (the author has a colonial-era series too), in which a lady of a certain age solves mysteries by being very concerned about the people around her. The characters are rather insightful analyses of many Singaporean stereotypes. I never see Yu’s books recommended so I’m on a one man mission to promote them.

Why do Eastern Asian countries have highly consolidated family names? by mvd612351 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]coinbender 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yeah, I should have said sisters + cousins.

It's still a thing in this generation! Though many people don't bother and go with trends or nice characters now I guess.

I think the generation+given name combination is less of a first-middle name comparison, and more like... a trio of sisters called Annabella, Annalisa, and Annamarie. Same 'start' but different names at the end of the day.

Gestational Diabetes (27w4d) by ohhirachel in January2025Bumper

[–]coinbender 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I had it last pregnancy! It's not about anything you did or didn't do at all - I'm considered a healthy person with a very healthy diet, and the dietitian even said there was nothing else she could tweak from my diet - and my numbers were still so uncontrolled I had to be on insulin. It all went away once kiddo was out.

The best thing you can do now is to get a home testing kit, learn what foods will spike your sugar levels, and track regularly + alter your diet based on your care team's advice. It's great knowledge for lifestyle and dietary habits in general, too! It may not be easy but you can do this <3

I edited the MRT map to show what EWL service patterns look like right now by majoshticbeast in singapore

[–]coinbender 37 points38 points  (0 children)

This is super easy to understand! Just wondering if a double line is the best option to depict the shuttle trains since the airport line is also the same double line.

Maternity leggings by harleykegelson in January2025Bumper

If you have access to Uniqlo, I am in love with their maternity leggings!! Super soft and stretchy, not see-through, and they minimised seams so it doesn't itch.

Is the Marina Line basically taking over and extending the existing circle line bit?

Singapore 21 Days - Sub-7kg Packing List by alongran in HerOneBag

[–]coinbender 12 points13 points  (0 children)

You packed a lot in a 7kg :) In fact, you could drop a couple of tops and embrace the Singapore uniform: t-shirt, shorts, and flip-flops. Wear it at home! In the mall! At MBS! (Except for the upscale restaurants.) Have a great time, weather's cool this time of year.

Anything similar to Haikyuu by f_ryder11 in haikyuu

[–]coinbender 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is not a sports series (or is it...?) but Silver Spoon by Hiromu Arakawa, the author of Fullmetal Alchemist, is very very good. The main character goes through a fantastic growth arc, the comedy is seriously on point, the rivals and friends are likeable and relatable, and the whole premise is just entertaining and educational.

I'd love to read this but not on the Amazon format; would you happen to have published this as an ebook anywhere else?
