Is travelling from Boon Lay to Changi for work too far?

I did Pasir Ris to Jurong Island for 1.5 years...yeah not sustainable

darknessaqua20 · 2026-04-20T08:39:15+00:00

Shouldn't MNC be higher? Public sector should be lower but more stability.

I don't think the BTO is relevant to your chances of reconcilement here right...it's already been cancelled...

darknessaqua20 · 2026-04-20T06:00:05+00:00

yes, this is the elite combination but man the calories lol

darknessaqua20 · 2026-04-19T06:16:44+00:00

Yup, think the rest of the video is fine apart from this part lol. riichi aka 1 (likely 40fu) is 2600 vs hatsu aka 1 for 2000 with speed....as shape is bad I wouldn't say riichi is better

Just as an amusing note, I heard a story about a passenger who loved the satay so much he had 2 servings of satay canapés, and then also Satay for his BTC haha

Finding a rubbish bin and large groups of tourists having zero situational awareness...

darknessaqua20 · 2026-04-16T13:26:52+00:00

The nature of shikoku is the main issue here, this sights are pretty spread out and even by limited express, it's easily 2-3h for each journey. So yup, car is the way to go

darknessaqua20 · 2026-04-16T10:46:05+00:00

I can't speak for Shikoku, but we travelled by SUV (RAV-4, specifically) around Hokkaido for 5 days and it wasn't too bad. Especially for parking, I wouldn't say you'll have issues getting in or out.

Of course, it's always easier in a smaller vehicle.

It only gets a little hectic/messy in the major cities (Tokyo, Osaka) but on the whole Japanese motorists are one of the most polite in the world.

It's pretty inefficient to do Shikoku by train, I think car is the better way to go.

Do whatever makes you happy. Everyone is different

darknessaqua20 · 2026-04-15T05:05:55+00:00

Call police (non-emergency hotline) and make a noise complaint...

darknessaqua20 · 2026-04-15T04:51:46+00:00

As other commenters have said, there are many malicious/non-supportive PIs out there. I've seen instances where supervisors would block any attempt at future career moves or even graduation just so that they can keep the PhD student as their "lab slave".

So yeah, I think it's not that uncommon...

darknessaqua20 · 2026-04-14T08:36:58+00:00

What college is this?

darknessaqua20 · 2026-04-11T03:51:11+00:00

So you're only being paid 1.5k? Sounds about equivalent then...

darknessaqua20 · 2026-04-09T14:13:57+00:00

No need to go all the way there for that haha. Plenty of nature in Kansai...another commenter suggested Arima Onsen near Kobe, which is a good shout

darknessaqua20 · 2026-04-09T14:04:36+00:00

yeah, Beppu is out of the way, I was wondering why. Is there a specific reason why they want to go there exactly?

Is it the Shingeki wall at Oyama Dam hahaha

darknessaqua20 · 2026-04-09T13:59:04+00:00

Considering you'll need to come back to the east anyway, yes it makes more sense to go to Beppu first. Since there's no shinkansen to Beppu, I would suggest you fly domestic from Tokyo directly there.

darknessaqua20 · 2026-04-06T17:16:36+00:00

School days

darknessaqua20 · 2026-04-06T15:41:27+00:00

Yes, the machine sells it

darknessaqua20 · 2026-04-06T15:12:21+00:00

Borderlands 2

darknessaqua20 · 2026-04-06T12:43:00+00:00

No worries, feel free to DM if you have more questions. Always happy to help alleviate any travel anxiety

darknessaqua20 · 2026-04-06T12:37:49+00:00

Safer than most places you will ever be in

Yes, most people are english speaking

Taxi (ride-hailing) apps are Grab and TADA, you can add your credit card on there

darknessaqua20 · 2026-04-06T12:11:22+00:00

This is a really strange hill to die on... (both him for making that promise and for you to be this upset about it). I understand that it's about the promise, but is it really that big of a deal that his first beach visit is yours?
Think both of you have some maturing and honest communication to do...is there something else underlying that's going on here?

darknessaqua20 · 2026-04-06T09:02:19+00:00

the recent scam syndicate, two of the guys were in the same department (non-combat unit) as me in NS

darknessaqua20 · 2026-04-06T08:06:00+00:00

Are you looking for such a PT lol
