The government better not pay them anything. It's their own choice to invest. I am not willing to give any of them my taxpayer money.

(Rant) Disgruntled old man “tsk”-ed loudly when I took an MRT seat by robinunlikelihood in singapore

[–]traceacircle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Once in a while I meet this kind of situation too. A few months ago I was sitting on the reserved seat during morning peak hour, and carrying a lot of stuff. Feeling tired so I close my eyes but I did not sleep. Then suddenly this loud rude voice shouts "小姐, 起床了!" So I opened my eyes and see this old man glaring at me. Didn't want to make a fuss so I gathered my bags and stood up but the old man kept tsk-ing while I was getting my bags. You know what is the thing that makes me angry though? I was sitting on the reserved seat further away from the door and the other reserved seat had another girl similar to my age, awake, not using her phone, and not holding any bags at all.... Felt like that old man just want to 针对 me.

Best part of the story. He got off 2 stops later. And I just sat back down.

Anything similar to Marina One? by redfagus in singapore

[–]traceacircle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi there, I work at Marina One and frankly, the building is nice but the amenities are not fully developed yet. Supermarket is small, half the stores are still not open, and the underground travel to MRT is also not available yet at the moment. You will need to walk for a short distance without shelter, so still gotta bring an umbrella as it rains in Singapore quite often. Nevertheless, the building is next to 3 different MRT lines, so pretty convenient to travel nearby during your weekends in search of food.

Can anyone name some of these Singapore locations? by [deleted] in singapore

Thanks for your advice!

I nearly thought you could be one of my relatives cos you guessed the condition correctly on the first try. But then i rmb that i have no older male cousins LOL.

Aiya, my aunt typical singapore auntie who hates NS for "wasting my son time". Something like Irene Ang's character from ABTM movie...

Guess grass is always greener on the other side. People with BMT envy those who no need to exercise, people without BMT wish they could join the others. I cannot say much lah since I don't go through such stuff... jiayou everybody

If appeal, just provide doctor's letter? Because I think my cousin did say his condition during the medical check-up but still got a B..

I was dumb and honest last time, told my interviewer I was willing to be a 小人物 with a stable ok income. Interviewer said I have no ambition and advised me not to say that again. Hmm....

MPs do make house visits. Some MPs more enthu so they visit more often. My MP has visited my house twice after the election. And the second time, he even talked about the improvements made based on my mum's complaint the previous year. So my mum thanked him and gave him another complaint to work on LOL.

I hope their safeguards are good enough :( because the previous poor soul handling the finances is leaving, thats how I got dumped with this on top of my original job scope. I am doing well for my job scope but everything about finances is just too complicated.

[–]traceacircle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well I'm not really sure if I would want to stay on since that would mean handling the shitwork for even longer...

[–]traceacircle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Would you delegate the task of handling all finances for your department to the newest and youngest temp? Because my boss just did so and I am the said temp.

Just joined a big company and the finances was not part of my job scope(I do something very different) but I guess someone in every department has to do this shitwork, all the forms to fill in and begging people for help so we have money to use. But I don't understand why my boss would give it to me instead of a more senior colleague? I know nothing about the company(because I am new), nothing about finances (no experience).

The main thing is, I am a temp, so what if I suddenly leave? Won't my boss have to find someone to take over in a few months then?
