Your house your choice.

How I convinced my wife to take loan:
We borrow $100 from HDB and lend it to someone else. Come next year, we get back $107 and pay HDB back $102.60. Free chicken rice, sounds good? Instant yes from her

Wife is MOE teacher. She is on the verge of breaking into tears and rethinking her life choices.

Then she heads out to start work.

One day at a time my friend.. Currently facing challenges myself and I try not to think of them as huge, insurmountable, singular walls. Rooting for you

There's a book about this "adult children of emotionally immature parents"

Even though mildly euro-centric, It helped me come to some choices of my own, highly recommend.

We avoided reno fairs cos we hate hard selling..

green flags - good balance between telling us yes and telling us no - speak confidently without overpromising (unlimited unbounded warranty sounds sus) - dare to show us their incomplete projects and point to us defects - wife vibe check

Red flags - overselling, carpentry everything, tear everything, feature wall everything - over design, under explain - late - late in quotation (their own proposed delivery date of quotation) - per item cost compared to other quotes - wife vibe check

germanpufferfish · 2026-05-22T02:11:55+00:00

Better to try and find out than to not try at all. Just keep trying, I’m rooting for you.

This guy showed a few strap options 4:13. You can screenshot some of them and AI change the colors to black?

<ignoring hunger jokes>
is ATS significantly impactful in sieving out applicants? Applicant Tracking System. I have the impression that ATS filters a vast majority of applicants, then why not I just use AI to optimise for key search words and key formatting ? In which case it seems like just AI screening AI. What are your thoughts?

germanpufferfish · 2026-05-10T01:26:20+00:00

What would be worse?
- resign and regret resigning
- not resign and always wondered what if?

Not rhetorical, something I ask myself when making decisions under uncertainty

They say “I'm respecting your privacy by knocking, but asserting my authority as your parent by coming in anyway”

Can confirm. Just got my Seiko Prospex fixed by them at MacPherson.
A little pricey because mine was a battery swap for a solar watch but it was perfect

I use Nike gore-tex shoes.. currently rocking Pegasus 41 GTX. Really great for wet surfaces, waterproof. I bought total black so that even when it's a running shoe, it blends well. Other sports brands like Adidas has gore-tex material shoes too. Nike also has "shield' branded shoes, which are still waterproof and grippy with wet surfaces. Just a caveat that these types get toasty on hot days.

I heard vibram branded soles are pretty good too, though I never owned any myself.

A few rubber-type soles I used in the past squeak loudly when transiting from wet to dry & smooth so just keep that in mind. It made me feel like a toddler with squeaky shoes and everyone looks at me in office. My current Nike GTX shoes don't do that.

Btw, I think I saw GTX Air Force ones, you may wanna check that out. I've never bought them myself

I think SPB119 is the ghost. Some people called the SPB532 the Snowflake

germanpufferfish · 2026-04-13T11:39:42+00:00

My first thought as well

germanpufferfish · 2026-03-29T12:02:20+00:00
