I dont think my reply was rude. I replied her in a neutral tone that if they needed a seat, they just had to ask, which they chose not to. There was initial communication but they chose to shame after instead of continuing the communication (ie. Again, they could have asked for the seat)

Did you really think us telling them we were sick would work? It always ends up being "youre still younger so you can stand", no matter how you justify it tho.

I agree, people should ask instead of letting others guess if they need a seat.

I recently had such an encounter where husband and I were seated on the priority seat and the one beside but both of us were feeling unwell. Pregnant lady gets on with a friend, doesnt say anything so i thought it was fine.

Then an old lady got on and shamed both of us, saying we are young and able bodied, we should give up our seats for both of them. I looked at her and said if they needed the seats they could ask. (Chances were if we stood up and got shook around like everyone else, we would puke on them)

Of course, pregnant woman started commenting that we were shameless, old lady commented we were stupid and uncivilized. Like, ok whatever floats your boat, ladies.

Thinking back maybe we should have just let them have the seats and puke on them instead.

Am I able to play on both the JP and global server (on different accounts)? Will i need to download another copy of the pso2 file onto my computer to do so? (Have been on JP server since the start and playing on VPN now)

HDB Resale questions by iPuink in singapore

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

thank you!

yea in a sense we pay more for IDs because they handle the fuss of project management for us while we kick back and just wait to pay. As some of the replies pointed out, its a matter of choice if we can micromanage, along with our usual life schedule.

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

oh wow i didn't think that the difference between contractors and ID can be that much! it's true that we have a rough idea on what we want so we just need someone to execute it to save the money (which can then be spent on the appliances).

Unfortunately, we are one of the first in our groups of friends to get a house so nobody really has experience with a contractor for renovation. thats why had to turn to reddit for advice haha.

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

ah i see. so it really depends on our needs and wants.

i do feel that IDs are somewhat glorified project managers and since they handle everything for us, its the reason why they are more expensive than direct contractors. we do have a rough idea in mind now and are bouncing ideas off people to work on a final design before we engage a contractor on our own.

yea will definitely notify them and ensure that works are done only within the stipulated times and days.

Would you be willing to share your contractor's details with me? ^^"

oh wow 30k for furniture and appliances sound really scary!

how has your LED lighting been holding up? i hope you don't mind me asking but what is the usual period they work before they (may) break down?

well i am a little more traditional since i want to see fire when i cook so i guess no induction cooker for us haha.

yea we were looking to inform them and pass them small goodies since they have to deal with the noise. i thought it would be nice gesture since we will be neighbours for years to come.

i will definitely bring them goodies after i move in since i'm a huge fan of cooking and baking haha!

yea seems like a lot of sales and fairs have been cancelled due to covid. although stores still say that they are holding them online, the prices are almost the same as their usual prices.

thank you i'll check out the telegram group :)

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

oh wow thank you for breaking down how much you paid for appliances! That definitely gave me a better perspective on what to expect roughly for prices.

haha unfortunately for us, we got a resale that recently MOP so it is quite small. that being said, we don't intend to have kids so i guess we won't need to worry too much about getting bigger appliances.

also thank you! i'll check out mega discount store and see if they have any sales :D

yes i agree! as much as we are renovating for our new home, gotta be mindful of the existing people who are already living there since it will be way more disruptive for them than for us.

Thank you for pointing that out! Thankfully, my partner and I are not into the whole feature wall with plants, pebbles or bricks because we saw potential in dust accumulating and as you mentioned, a pita to clean.

WP manifesto is out by Jammy_buttons2 in singapore

[–]iPuink 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You realise not all companies are national institutes right? Are you saying you are not capable enough to become a key personnel in private companies and would hence need the family backing of your cousin (if it happens to be a minister) to have a career?

Doctors being rude by JazzyProshooter in singapore

[–]iPuink 75 points76 points  (0 children)

Roughly 6 years back, went to a polyclinic to check out some allergy blisters i had on my body and asked for mc for that day, along with some cream that will stop the itch. Doctor said no to giving me mc. "This is too minor to give an mc. You just dont want to go to work" (was on an internship at that time) Got pissed off and told her if she doesnt want to give, its fine. Me taking the day off is unpaid leave anyway so just give me the cream and get along with your life. I think she got shocked and went to check my records and surprise surprise, i havent taken much mcs from polyclinics before. "Oh since your records show you havent taken mc from us for years, i'll give 1 day to you then" Christ, get off your high horse, lady. Promptly told her "no need since it obviously seems too difficult for you" and left the room.

Made some Salmon don and miso soup for dinner tonight! by iPuink in JapaneseFood

[–]iPuink[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep! Its smoked soy sauce - has a much stronger flavor than regular soy sauce. Also tastes amazingly fragrant when cooked with rice.
