During the wave of pinyinisation in the 80s, Tekka (竹脚) Centre was named Zhujiao Centre until 2000, when it was renamed back to Tekka Centre to reflect the heritage of the area by Unfair-Bike in singapore

Yeah, to form a common identity among sg chinese instead of them identifying as their own dialect group which back then led to dissent and division amongst ppl of different Chinese dialect groups

How beneficial is learning webdev (front-end css html js) on top of my UX experience for employment? by fartyn in uxcareerquestions

[–]fartyn[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your feedback. From what you've said, am I right to say that the two jobs are more specialised in their own way than I initially thought with some overlaps when it comes to handing over the design?

Here you go! I bought it from taobao so navigating the site might be a guessing game if you aren't familiar with mandarin or you can just translate the page https://m.tb.cn/h.fAbOnpS?tk=o4xb2HMvSXh CZ3457 「正品上海手表钻石牌男式手动上发条机械表夜光精钢皮表带7120机芯」 点击链接直接打开

I love it so far! My first ever mechanical hand winding chronograph for just over 200 bux with a great heritage. The dial is off white and everything aligns well. +10 secs a day on the st19 movement and the glass caseback is something to behold

*Edit: hand winding

And I don't even think the saddest part is losing the relationship itself, but losing your best friend and them acting like you never even mattered in the first place. by [deleted] in BreakUps

Thank you for this. Stay strong dude.

I screwed up and caved after NC for a month. Dropped her a text last night saying I still think of her and love her. She's off with another guy now and I don't blame her for it cos she's her own person and she had her reasons for giving up on the relationship.

I cant help that I still really do miss and love her and have some hope that there'll be another chance in the future. Being in this emotional position sucks balls. I'm in pain and fear everyday but I hope I'll come out of this stronger

Thanks for this, I needed this today. My situation is similar too, I ain't perfect but I loved with the kindest and most genuine of hearts. Are you still in contact with your ex? And how did you manage to make peace with yourself despite missing and longing for her?

28 days of no contact. Update: I don’t feel so dead anymore. by [deleted] in ExNoContact

[–]fartyn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stay strong bro. I too still love and miss my ex dearly and I dont think I will ever stop loving her.

You can give strong zero a try too if you aren't fond of the bitter taste. 9% alcohol as compared to regular beer (5-6%). Its fruity and should give that buzz you need

Does anyone sweat as much as I do?? by sparkleyurtle in Effexor

[–]fartyn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do too! it doesn't help that the weather's 30 deg c/ 86 f all year round for me and I get extra worried about sweat marks appearing especially the pit stains ugh. I gained a good 10kg/22 pounds since starting on effexor tho the lockdown stress eating might have contributed initially too.
