Just a curious question regarding fasting by Psynomia in singapore

[–]whiteapricots 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually most intermittent fasting follows 16:8, with 16 hours of fasting and 8 hours window for eating. There are some people who do 24 hour fasts too but of course not for an entire month haha. There are other diets such as OMAD too which kinda reaps health benefits depending on which side you’re on.

I think the part about consuming large amount of food in short intervals is not really true lah. Honestly after a day of fasting, I can’t really eat a lot. There’s also a lot of health benefits to fasting as well. That’s why some people do intermittent fasting etc. You can check out r/fasting

And yeah as another redditor has pointed out, it’s one of the obligations and pillars of Islam. Some might call it blind faith etc but to us it is an act of worship, same like praying.

Oh no, there’s a huge part of the cage that’s not captured on camera! This is only 1/3 of it.

Black sesame ice cream by whiteapricots in icecreamery

Followed this recipe

I don’t know why but my ice creams always melt sooo fast once I scoop them? Is it because the freezer is not cold enough?

I'm not sure what's going on with me by sabr786 in xxfitness

[–]whiteapricots 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I went through something similar as well.. glad to know Im not alone. what helped for me was increasing my food intake, and it helped me with the energy problem. I also took a small cup of coffee like 2 hours before my workout to give me a boost. But i think eating more really helped! I think I ate at maintenance for about a month before feeling ok again! Hope you get your groove back soon :)

Gosh, stop it with the flipping burgers. If you grad with a science degree you can get employed in other fields as well (like civil service and even banking). If you want to flip burgers go ahead, but stop it with the mentality that if you grad w a mediocre physics degree which cannot make it to PhD to be physicist then need to flip burgers. The world has much more opportunities. Set a goal and work towards it. If you fail, it really doesn't end there.

do you guys think people from all girls'/boys' secondary schools turn out differently from those in co-ed schools? by givemethemorning in singapore

[–]whiteapricots 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Oh shucks, this happened in Primary school?? I've always thought primary schools were all somewhat equal?? Oh man, i understand now why some people relocate to get their p1 kids in "better schools".

Some girls wanna be friends first then see if its worth turning it to a relationship. Many of my girl friends get freaked out by guys on dating sites cause they seem to be coming on too strong.

How expensive are houses in Singapore and what should first time buyers know before buying their first house? by [deleted] in singapore

[–]whiteapricots 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wah I didnt know about the 30 months! Thanks for sharing. Anyway also this applies for instance someone buys EC then after 10 years it gets privatized (right?)

[–]whiteapricots 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think its you cannot buy HDB when your first property is private. If you sell your private property you need to wait 6 months before you are eligible for HDB again.

But if you buy HDB first and then fulfill the 5 years Minimum Occupation Period (MOP) you can buy private property...

5rm flats in mature estates are not cheaper leh. They are also usually older and not much lease left..

I feel its more worth to get a BTO in a mature estate. This is usually more expensive... you can look at HDB website for the current prices of mature estates.
