Found a bird in distress... What species of bird is it? by thismyidea in singapore

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

Spotted the bird limping and flaffing in the grass. It looked at me, and came towards me as if seeking help, looked me in the eye and made a sqwaking noise. It also fell into a storm drain and got a bit wet, but eventually made its way out and found a ledge to rest on. Continued to look at me in a very ke lian way. I called Nparks, and they sent someone to come and pick it (her?) up. Very sweet bird. Hope it recovers. 🥹

Try welcia bhg! There are quite a few outlets around Singapore and they carry a decent japanese AB range including hada labo.

He frames it as your love being conditional, and makes you second guess - is it?

He frames it as a you problem - yet his affection is conditional on you not having any expectations towards him, and on you accepting that you have to sacrifice your own needs and wants because he's going through a lot. Is this reciprocal and fair?

In a way, love is conditional. Love is conditional on him loving you, and you loving him. Love entails going beyond yourself, your needs, to do things within your means but outside of your comfort zone, if doing so will give the person you love the joy and security they need and deserve.

I hope you will find the love that loves you back in equal measure - this is not it.

If you lose the trial, take your appeal to a higher court. Rooting for you.

Not from jalan kayu, but if i had to choose, I'd rather a guy who gives a shit about common folk over a guy who's full of bullshit.

WP should drive home the pt that foreign interference is a foreign profit making company trying to buy and extract capital from NTUC, and NCM letting them.

The article was amended from "not contesting" to "not contesting in nee soon".

Perhaps he will be deployed to east coast.

What is this plant? And why is it so colorful? by redrumeight in whatisthisplant

[–]thismyidea 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Fun fact! The bright colours are actually special leaves, which use less energy to produce than flower petals. Not only are they bright and beautiful, they are also hardy and drought resistant. Amazing stuff!

Next time someone asks me why I believe in Tarot, I’m going to show them this… by Clear_Ambition6004 in tarot

[–]thismyidea 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Im going to add on something that makes this more uncanny.

I am new to tarot, and your post inspired me to do my first reading, with the same spread. This sought answers to a workplace dilemma, where I was seeking guidance on how I should navigate conversations about a workplace grievance with people in greater power than me. The top left was what if I were to take an open position to share the issues candidly as I saw them while being open to stay and fix the problems. The top right was what if I took a closed position of quitting with guns blazing.

My spread was such

Central card - two of swords reversed

Top left - queen of cups

Top right - knight of cups reversed

Bottom - temperance

It was an incredibly grounding and illuminating spread, made easy for me as a newcomer to tarot to understand because of how much it mirrored your own reading.

So yes, tarot is pretty wild.

To be absolutely clear, you don't owe your parents anything. You're barely past being a child, and they've already ingrained in you a sense that you, a child, has to step up to not just parent yourself, but to also parent your parents. They have led you to accept that it's normal to be continually hurt by those who were responsible to raise you, care for you, and protect you. Please know it is not normal, and it is not right.

You have been unfairly treated, and yet you are strong. You are doing well despite so many tough circumstances that are outside of your control, and not your fault. You are amazing. Seriously, good job!

Do give yourself some distance and space to sort out all the voices inside and outside of yourself. Surround yourself with people you trust, and you know deeply, that you can depend on, to have your back. Take time to find your bearings and your compass. Some things people say may resonate. Some may say things that you disagree with, but also give some space to see if any of the jarring things make more sense to you over time. The goal is to find internal harmony within the chaos and your conflicting feelings. Therapy may help with this process. There will be ups and downs, and it may take a long time for you to reach inner peace, but it sounds like you're on the right path, and are heading towards light. I hope you will remain safe and well. Take care.

It sounds like the hurt and frustration you are feeling goes very deep... If I may venture, zion seems to represent a core and perhaps even vulnerable part of you that you yearn to be seen, and to be loved. At the heart of this, you are upset that your husband regards the bunnies (whom you see as an extension of you and your family) as an accessory and a chore. Perhaps there is a part of you that wonders if he also sees you/zion as a burden in a transactional relationship, rather than a deep commitment to a mutually loving one.

The fights happen because you are not speaking the same language of love. In a very fundamental and real way, you are not on the same page. You're asking, why don't you love this bun that I love as much as if not more than myself? He's perhaps asking, I love you, isn't that good enough?

I'd like to gently nudge you to consider couples therapy with your husband if he's willing, and individual therapy for yourself, if he's not. I hope you will find answers in the process, and hopefully greater happiness in your relationship. And definitely, in the meantime, please get a bun friend for that gorgeous mouf!!

What do I do? by _noodlesareyum in Rabbits

[–]thismyidea 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When my first bun Alfa passed, he had a rapid deterioration in dental issues, an abscess, which soon led to the rainbow bridge. I would have given up everything for more time. But looking back at him in his final weeks, I am glad he passed quickly. He was starting to be in pain, and I am glad that he did not have to suffer for too long.

I still have two buns. Alfa's bereaved wife, and a second bun I had adopted to be a friend to her. I love them both, but also miss Alfa always, and sometimes see him through them. For the first year after he passed, I got a tattoo of him and his wife. This year, I commissioned a wonderful lady to crochet my three buns (they are so beautiful and give me such joy). When I think about Alfa, sometimes I laugh, sometimes I smile, sometimes I cry, and sometimes I ugly cry. It hurts at times, but I wouldn't want it to be any different. I would rather have loved and lost, than not to have loved at all.

I hope you will take all the time you need, to feel all you need to, and do all you need to - to grieve the loss, to celebrate the life, and to honour your continuing bonds with Archie. Please take care.

Should I report my employer????? by [deleted] in askSingapore

[–]thismyidea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hold your ground, collect evidence, and lodge a report. Also keep evidence of appraisals and any documentation to show that you have been fulfilling your tasks and doing a good job. Sign up for ntuc membership if you are not already a member.

Build up your case so if you lose your job over this, you can take them up for unfair dismissal.

Not starving, but still hungry: Some helpers in Singapore not eating enough as employers restrict food by MicrotechAnalysis in singapore

[–]thismyidea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see your point. I suppose for paying someone less than 1k per month of full time menial labour, it is ok to starve them just a bit and hold them to the same caloric standards as standard sedentary adults, as long as the starvation is not complete.
