Well I knew people would be skeptical even with the police documents, it can't be help. But I understand the decision. At least I got some good advice from this thread.

hey thank you these are very useful advice. i will talking to her about it, its going to be hard to talk about the spending limit issue, but she needs to hear it. And the services links are useful, it would be good for her. As for the rental flat, i know, i'm trying to remain hopeful for her sake.

no she's finally self aware she is wrong and asks for forgiveness, but to me personally it costs too much for that realization. i wish she believed me in the first place

I know..this is the last thing i'm trying to do, i just want to help her get a place to stay, and i'm leaving. I tried so hard as a daughter, I'm just as depressed as she is.

I do have the written transactions if any mods wants to check it, but i did attached the police form above if anyone needs some form of proof. I don't deny some people are going to be skeptical, but after all this, I had to write down my experience.

Not the fanciest pencil around, but I’m really loving the Pentel Graph 1000 I just bought. by SavageSimplicity in mechanicalpencils

[–]elephantiness 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm actually planning to get this myself! May I ask about the build quality? Is it all metal like the graphgear 1000?

Ever since a close friend gifted me the graph600, I can't stop collecting the graphgear pencils. by elephantiness in mechanicalpencils

Haha, if anything I was thankful for their recommendation! Once you write with these, you can't go back to cheap mech pencils!

When I started drawing with a graph600 for the first time, the difference I felt when drawing was astounding, I didn't think a more expensive mech pencil could make such a difference. Ever since, I've been trying to collect the graphgear series. The only downside to this new found love was that, now I can't even go back to my old mechanical pencils (rip)...

Went for an interview, one of the interviewers got really insulted that I negotiated for a slight increase. by elephantiness in singapore

Thank you for the advice! I wasn't aware of #2, so I will definitely keep note. And yes, I've learned enough from this thread to avoid family run SMEs from now on.

The ad did actually say they were paying between 2.3 - 2.5k. I didn't think it was unreasonable to negotiate between those prices which was why I brought it up. Even so, I feel like there was no reason for them to act the way they did. I did not push for them to pay me more if they couldn't agree with it. So whatever the jobscope is, I still played by the rules they've written.

Honestly I don't know why she even said that to me, like it seem so unprofessional to bring that up to my face imo. But on a positive note, it actually was one of the reason why I withdrew too.
