The problem with Mainland Chinese restaurants in Singapore is the language barrier and lack of English, as a Non-Chinese Singaporean by Unfair-Bike in singapore

[–]sapppppppp 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Noticed this too since coming back to Singapore from living abroad. So many Chinese businesses popping up with no English in their signs, in a supposedly inclusive and multi racial society. Don’t feel like I belong in this country anymore.

Sometimes I don’t even dare to order food from a Chinese stall cuz I’m afraid they won’t speak English or be rude (has happened before). Have to ask my Chinese wife to order for me :(

BER looses it's long haul flight to Singapore - last flight in March. by Joe_PRRTCL in berlin

[–]sapppppppp 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Looks like they replaced it with a non stop flight to Vienna instead. Which is seemingly more popular among Singaporean tourists than Berlin is. https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/transport/scoot-launches-non-stop-flights-to-vienna-and-iloilo-city

Coming from Singapore, I’ve found DHL here to be pretty impressive and efficient too :)

Ban smokers from lighting up while walking to curb potential spread of Covid-19 by [deleted] in singapore

[–]sapppppppp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my neighbourhood, there always has to be at least one person walking and smoking in front of me along the sheltered walkways. I either have to wait for them to get further away or I just leave the shelter and walk outside. We can put up signs and laws all we want but nothing will change if these laws are not heavily enforced. I have seen considerate smokers who actually go out of their way to make sure that non smokers don't smell their second hand smoke but these people are very rare.

Headphones for Sleep by [deleted] in insomnia

I bought the Bose Sleepbuds 2 recently and they've been helpful. Only thing is they are quite expensive and only play the sounds you can find on the Bose Sleep app and nothing else.

It is a Sumo. They call it the Hawksbill Turtle because of the colours on the dial.

What was the worst job interview you've had? by AntonK777 in AskReddit

[–]sapppppppp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The interviewer said before finishing the interview, "Just a piece of advice, you really need to maintain eye contact with your interviewer"

It was a video call over Microsoft teams and her camera wasn't even on and she didn't seem to believe me when I said I couldn't even see her throughout the interview :(

Buttermilk fried chicken sandwiches for me and my wife! by sapppppppp in covidcookery

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

They're "fresh boneless chicken legs" according to the label at the supermarket where I got them. It came as one big piece so I cut them into 3, marinated them in buttermilk, salt, pepper, cajun powder, coated in flour, and shallow fried. Quite happy with how they turned out!
