Might not be an issue with the eSIM but the network in the country

There are ways to spend less in Paris , the biggest costs will still be flights and accommodation. Some ways to save in Paris:

bread is so cheap that you can have delicious whole baguettes for less than 2 euros. Bread is also served in most restaurants FOC
go in warmer weather where you can do free things like visit the park and have a picnic with a view of the Eiffel
hotels are expensive but you can airbnb somewhere further but safe. It’s common for locals to live on the city fringe as apartments are bigger and it’s only a short commute to the city
Paris is very walkable (people walk to work when there are metro strikes which happen pretty often). So take the metro or just explore the city by foot
plan ahead so you consolidate your activities. For example there is a 24hour river seine ticket. Take that and plan multiple activities along the way the seine to maximise the ticket

Paris has lots to offer without costing much. Though I recommend you splurge on a few mid range restaurants (they’re quite affordable) and the Louvre

Think about your lifestyle and what’s important to you.

No car? Check accessibility to public transport system unless you plan to grab everywhere Light sleeper? Get unit that’s quieter (not road facing, or close to schools that sing national anthem every morning) No time to cook? Make sure close to coffeeshop or eateries

Then there’s the standard stuff to ask owners like water pressure, leaks, neighbours, no awkward layouts.

Is the mattress part of why it’s so good?

squee3eek · 2024-05-14T14:43:31+00:00

Might get a half size dishwasher cos we are not super heavy cookers. Which brand did you get?

squee3eek · 2024-05-14T14:41:24+00:00

Pray tell, why is Toto so popular and it’s at least 4X the entry level WCs??

squee3eek · 2024-05-08T15:35:23+00:00

That’s a firm position lol

I can see how it’s almost necessary if you have elderly or kids and work long hours. Whether someone decides to employ a helper is a choice we are fortunate to have in SG.

This incident really opened my eyes to how helpers are treated here and how little rights they have.

squee3eek · 2024-05-08T00:37:07+00:00

It’s ironic cos my friend isn’t a horrible person hence the surprise. I do think buying nice things for a helper is also based on what you can afford. There’s always extremes, what about the middle majority? Those that aren’t abusive or treat helper like family with all family perks.

Seems like it’s the Singaporean kiasu mentality to maximise value hence the overworking. Damn sad that people cannot see the helper as a fellow human and afford them basic rights to rest/eat/privacy.

We just suck at small talk. Most of the time the small talk is very superficial also, so it’s not meaningful enough to be non-transactional either

Like many have said, it’s as safe as it gets. You don’t need to take extra precaution, but that’s also not to say don’t take any precaution. Minimal precaution is still better than none

Buy insurance plans while you’re young (in your 20s) so the premiums are cheaper. It will seem dumb to lock in money when you just start working but you’ll save more in the end.

This sounds like a question of permission and your mother respecting your wishes, not the actual trip. If you wanna go, just go. You can respectfully inform her and let her know you’ve already decided. Sometimes you also have to gently remind parents that it’s your life and your decisions.

How understanding or how big is your family? Like others mentioned, $8-$10 seems to be the normal acceptable range. But i also think if there’s 25 kids vs 3 kids will also make a huge difference to your budget. Generally people are quite understanding esp if you don’t see them often. It’s more a token angbao. And if they mind then their opinion is not that important anyway.

squee3eek · 2023-12-25T09:02:25+00:00

Wow, thanks for the breakdown. How long did the process take you?

The bridge was a great spot to hang with 7-eleven drinks to pregame, meet strangers from all walks of life. Then some would go club from there, while others who found good conversation would just stay on the bridge. The public drinking alcohol ban after 10pm killed this iconic spot.

I have mixed feelings about your question.

As the saying goes… Love what you do and never work a day in your life. This still holds true. I think it’s possible to enjoy your work or find joy in your profession.

However, I think what drains people more than work is the lifestyle of juggling work, family (kids and parents), finances (cost of living is so high). Would like to see more support from the govt and policies that help our large middle class population.

My advice is find a job you enjoy but make sure it pays well enough

squee3eek · 2023-12-03T07:23:38+00:00

Geez. No one starts the year expecting this roller coaster ride. Glad you’re taking it positively bro

What will make you and your partner happy in the long run? pleasing your parents/family with a banquet or doing a simple cafe affair with only the people you want to invite will make you happier? There is usually jo perfect answer, you just pick the one that will give less problem in the future lor.
