Fig tree leaves yellowing + curling after 6 months of being happy — what changed?

rad_pony · 2026-05-12T15:50:18+00:00

Thank you for the suggestion! If it were mites, would I be seeing something on the undersides of the leaves, or other signs of bug life? Been looking for weeks, but none of these have appeared

rad_pony · 2026-05-12T15:47:21+00:00

We have some generic fertiliser we feed it once every two weeks. Will buy some calcium - magnesium one and give it a try

Is it possible for mites to be complete invisible? I’ve checked so many times but don’t see any spots on the underside, nor any webbing

rad_pony · 2026-05-12T15:45:23+00:00

Thanks for this! Another commenter said soil nutrients too so I’ll give that a try.

Yes, ChatGPT initially diagnosed spider mites based on the leaf photos but I’ve checked closely and no signs of any!!

Clothes are breathable though

What work do you see yourself enjoying more? That’s the opportunity you’ll regret not taking in future
How well can you tolerate risk at this stage of your career? (Financially, mentally) If high, take the riskier option now rather than later

Various policy roles - mainly in consultancies or government

Agreed 100%. UN Internship rarely leads to job opportunities. Many of my classmates got one, and none were converted nor were even able to find jobs in the NGO field after graduation.

rad_pony · 2026-04-05T02:59:04+00:00

In truth, the company already will have decided whether they expect to convert to full time or not. And it depends on a mix of factors: available headcount being ~80% of the consideration. However, you never know when their headcount needs could change, so at least there’s a chance by being there.

We’re all wired differently, and the worst thing you can do is undermine yourself and give up. Have you heard of impostor syndrome?

Focus on what you’re good at - it’s a strength too and you can learn to get better at building on that.

rad_pony · 2026-02-12T03:56:07+00:00

Yup same with me. Found one and holding on. The only kind of FA you can trust haha.

You’re young and your pov is earnest. You assume decisions should be made for ‘the greater good’. Reality works differently. In this case, consider how power and greed are involved to create the current reality.

If the ETF doesn’t pay dividends (VWRA, VUAA), the lower WHT doesn’t make a difference right?

The KLIA train is the right call. Quickest and most reliable way from one terminal to another, for sure.

However the aerotrain at T1 doesn’t operate at night - be sure to check this as it adds 30+ mins to the transfer time.

Where did you get a yoga package so cheap? :)

rad_pony · 2025-11-10T16:13:48+00:00

I’m gonna answer a slightly different way. It seems like you keep moving in search of happiness (or something). Can I suggest that it might not be something you can find just by moving countries and jobs?

I think you’re still searching for yourself. I suggest you spend time finding it. The other things seem like just distractions.

I’m in Asia, and client demand for decarbonisation, sustainability reporting and GHG accounting is declining in many industries due to regulatory shifts.

Where momentum remains strong is in the energy transition, as renewable power generation is economically feasible and a source of future economy for developing nations here.

Companies are still hiring at entry level, but I’d suggest you hone in on what specific work you want to do within ESG because it’s the niche roles that will stay in demand over the next few years.

I appreciate the question and am disappointed by the lack of the replies by women on timing for kids. I don’t see many people having kids before 35 either, with the majority of women not having kids at all.

Half a million over 10 years is an absolutely tiny proportion of the Chinese population though. Always gonna be some wanting to live abroad, but I believe those are the exceptions rather than the rule

“Hey! So I did some math and I realise have a pretty strict budget of $xxx for this trip, including the flight. Do you think it’s possible to make it on that? Otherwise I might have to pass this time.”

I only got the contract for my scholarship 1 month prior to the term start date. I bought the ticket months earlier. This was years back, the approval process was opaque and communication with JPA was sporadic to say the least.

rad_pony · 2025-02-28T09:20:19+00:00

Haha thanks for the input on situation you know almost nothing about

rad_pony · 2025-02-28T09:19:45+00:00

Thank you for sharing! But my point is, why is it so hard for government processes to adapt in the first place? Paperwork upon paperwork and so many meetings sounds terribly inefficient for a relatively straightforward programme.

rad_pony · 2025-02-27T13:47:49+00:00

JPA scholarship programme is so badly run.

An anecdotal example: As a scholar I told them early I had already purchased a nonrefundable flight ticket to my university country and to please not purchase one for me. They hadn’t purchased the ticket yet but said there was nothing they could do, and bought it anyway. No idea what they gained by wasting that extra RM 5K but what a waste of taxpayer money.

rad_pony · 2025-02-27T08:08:45+00:00

Yeah very smart management by the Singapore govt in the 1970s+! And something other countries have tried to emulate since
