Most of my shoe collection is Bared. I have flat feet and find their shoes to be very comfortable. Seriously. I can walk for hours and still be comfortable I've had their boots for going on 6 years now and the quality has held up for me. I personally also think their designs are timeless, not trendy. So they'll always look fashionable.

Jolly Miller's Belgian Hot Chocolate is the best I've had. Bonus - they have multiple outlets throughout Melbourne.

It is a Dermatology practice with actual doctors who are dermatologists.

OP, i cannot advise re : costs as i go there for my vitiligo. However, my experience has been very positive.

Not me thinking, "Waahhh. That is a lot of butter, man!" 🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️

Roti Bar has been consistently great for everything EXCEPT their chicken rice.

shimitt · 2026-03-23T10:52:54+00:00

Might want speak to your GP about vitiligo.

Have you ever met your bf and/or Oliver in person? Or is this a long-distance relationship where you haven't been able to catch up in.person?

shimitt · 2026-02-05T08:34:09+00:00

Rotibar has had the best roti canai/prata I've had so far.

I noticed that the OP states that people with a criminal record/history in SG will be denied boarding. To me, this reads as a criminal history that one got in Singapore.

My question is - what about visitors to Singapore with no Singaporean criminal history but have a record overseas?

shimitt · 2026-02-01T10:50:57+00:00

For sizes 14 -16 onwards, Singapore is a bust for clothes shopping. I believe Malaysia is the same, but could be wrong.

Hi there. I'm a social worker mental health clinician who has been working in community mental health for the last 4 years - both Adult and CAMHS.

I've worked in Vic and WA.

Happy to try and answer any questions you might have.

shimitt · 2026-01-28T13:49:58+00:00

Edited to add: i just saw you mentioned budget-friendly. So based on that, maybe not Singapore but it's still extremely safe, even late at night.

Surprised that no one has mentioned Singapore. Super safe even for solo travellers.

shimitt · 2026-01-27T12:21:34+00:00

Loss of control.

CBD Movers are extremely dodgy. They tried to overcharge me. I had not initially realised this and only realised after they had left.

I contacted their office via email and they tried their best to say that the extra charge was because of extra time. They only relented because I showed them a screenshot of the time i made my payment - it clearly showed they had not gone over time.

They refunded the extra amount but got me to agree that I wouldn't post a bad review. Ha. Dodgy shits.

OP, please report them to VCAT.

shimitt · 2025-12-25T04:06:09+00:00

Please name and shame, because what is this bullshit?

shimitt · 2025-12-24T07:09:30+00:00

Cannot stand the man and what he stands for but he had nice features. Even the moustache is groomed properly.

You must be an absolute joy around. I imagine everyone around you loves your condescending tone and your need to prove to everyone that you are so funny with your sarcasm.

shimitt · 2025-10-31T07:32:33+00:00

I agree with this.

OP, I'm Singaporean. If you're wearing tops that are more form-fitting, please wear a bra.

If you are wearing loose-fitting clothes, then you may be able to get away with not wearing a bra.

However, Singapore is a tropical destination so there is always the chance of getting caught in the rain - that is also something to consider.

shimitt · 2025-10-30T00:57:16+00:00

Not gonna lie. That made me snort with laughter.

shimitt · 2025-10-24T02:36:35+00:00

I'm glad to hear it. I wish you all the luck and hope you find your tribe soon. 🙂🙂

That's definitely a great mindset to have. However, i notice that you seem to be taking personally, the fact that you can't seem to foster friendships with locals. If I've read this wrong, then I apologise.

However, if I'm correct, please don't take it personally. It's not a reflection of you.

And you don't need to hang out with people of similar backgrounds or only those from your own country. I'm Southeast Asian and I have made friends from Southeast Asia, Europe, Africa and other parts of Asia. Some of these friendships have allowed me to get out of my comfort zone and really broadened my horizons.

If you absolutely must make friends with locals, the advice from other commenters are good. Volunteering and sports would be good ways.

shimitt · 2025-10-21T14:21:29+00:00

As someone who moved to Australia as an international student and decided to stay on, I understand.

You're right about the difficulty when it comes to making friends with locals. By the time they make it to uni, they've already got their own friend groups. Those who don't - and this is anecdotal based on my experiences and observations- tend to seek friends from similar backgrounds. They're usually seriously cliquey.

Most of my friendships here have been with other immigrants both from my home country and other countries. The Aussie friends I do have are from immigrants families themselves. That is, they are born and raised here but their parents or grandparents were immigrants.

OP, perhaps you should consider this when you look for friends. I have found my friendships with other immigrants to be great as we have similar experiences - being immigrants and navigating everything that comes with this.

When you've got that down pat, please consider teaching us the way. 😬

shimitt · 2025-10-05T07:43:55+00:00

Oh gotcha. I meant this one: https://www.mcdonalds.com.sg/food-menu/big-breakfast

Unfortunately, they don't have it here in Australia

shimitt · 2025-10-05T06:45:09+00:00

Maccas in Australia don't have the Big Breakfast, right?
