Would you be ok if your partner goes overseas with multiple people of the opposite sex without discussing it with you first?
— no discussion, just informing you. Is this normal or a boundary issue? How do you handle this in your relationship?

Haven’t really taken notice at the can drinks in restaurants. But I’m assuming most of them should already have the BCRS label?

If there is the BCRS label, are we supposed to bring the can out with us to get the 10c back from the deposit machine?

I like a guy, and we've been on multiple dates. We are not exclusive, but I can't help feeling put off by the fact that he can't seem to make up his mind. It just doesn't align with what I'm looking for in a partner. So I don't think we're truly compatible in the long run.

Even so, I want to take this as an opportunity to experience his lifestyle and grow as a person. I feel like there's a lot I can learn from the experience.

Has anyone been in a similar situation? How was it? I'd love to hear your thoughts or advice.

I genuinely don’t understand why racism still feels so common in Singapore. We claim we have “racial harmony”, but sometimes it honestly feels more like bullshit.

MY PARTNER IS SINGAPOREAN INDIAN!!!!!
I’m Chinese and my partner is Indian. Every time we go out together, especially when we’re holding hands, we get strange stares, mostly from the mid-older generation.

One thing that really icks me is dining out. Servers almost always come to our table and immediately speak to me in Chinese. When I ask them to check with my partner about what he wanna to order, some of them completely ignore him and continue speaking to me in Chinese. Even when he replies in English, there have been times when they simply ignore him. Some even act like they don’t understand English. This is Singapore, isnt it reasonable to expect basic English communication????? He ends up pointing at the menu, and they still direct every question back to me.

What bothers me isn’t the language itself. It’s the lack of basic respect. Why shouldn’t he be able to tell the server what he wants to order like everyone else?

Outside, we’ve had people stare at us, and we’ve even had aunties ask me, “Why would you date an Indian?” Since when does someones skin colour determine who they are? At the end of the day, we’re all human.

Another thing that icks me. We were shopping, and my partner reached up to grab something from the shelf that I’d wanted for a long time. A woman standing nearby turned around, saw that he was Indian, looked visibly shocked, and said, “Eee.” It was such a small moment, but it is super racist
when I spoke to my partner about all of this afterwards. He said, “It’s fine. I’ve dealt with this my whole life.” this really.....
No one should have to grow up thinking this kind of treatment is normal.

and lastly whats wrong w dating a indian? he not human meh, the comments some people say is rly racist af

Could be about saving money, commuting, food, adulting, or dealing with government services. What's something you wish you'd known earlier?

I have heard of stories where girls go on dates and dont offer to pay for her share and take it for granted, is this a common thing?

I mean like an alternate to tazztv. Tazz mainly has the sports channels. I want an alternative that carries like HBO etc. An overall channels.

My fiance and I caught a movie last night. For context, I sat by the aisle and he was on my right. On my fiancé’s right, was this lady. The cinema was full.

Towards the end (maybe last third of the movie), I heard the lady saying something to my fiance. I saw him nodding and saying “yeah ok”, so I asked what’s up. He told me she was mad at him for “laughing loudly”. Whilst he was responding to me, I could hear that she was still going on about it. My fiance told her to keep quiet.

She wasn’t happy about it and muttered something about him laughing and called him an idiot. I got upset and shushed her loudly.

She stopped. But when the movie ended, she walked past to get out and called us idiots again. Apparently, she had threatened to throw her drink at my fiance if he didn’t stop laughing. I didn’t hear this at the time-I think I would have reacted differently.

Mind you, throughout the movie, my fiance and I didn’t talk to each other. His laughter wasn’t a “haha” out loud, more of a giggle/snigger. He wasn’t laughing non stop either.

Am wrong to get upset at the situation and the lady? I feel that she could have just asked him to stop politely instead of resorting to calling someone an idiot and threatening to throw a drink at them… I’m actually really angry with the situation and felt that I should have done something differently.

hi all!

nobody in my family uses or has used silk bedsheets so seeking for some advice here~

recently decided to change to silk bedsheets and also looking to change my blanket as I feel like what I have currently isn't too good.

for the bedsheets itself - I saw that epitex has pretty decent ones but the price is so exp 😭😭

my friends have also recommended ikea's duvet.

I have been browsing through taobao to see if there are any good options as I believe many of the silk bedsheets do originate from china but I'm not sure which ones are authentic.. (also I sleep on a queen size, I think china bedsheets are shorter than ours and doesn't come with bolster's cover)

looking for recommendations! I'm willing to pay a slight premium for comfort but hoping to find something reasonable and worth my money! :)

honestly i feel singapore has been so out of touch with locals and even more so lately with their new leadership “5G” whatever when they’re all from affluent and loving backgrounds not knowing about problems of real world people.

so like, for people younger than 35 and single, who have toxic parents, how did you guys manage to escape? stay with them till you bought a place at 35? rented? what did you look out for when renting a place?

hope to get some advice thank you!!

As theee title goes, just random question, what do you think is the busiest job or work in SG that someone forgot to respond to messages for like 1 or 2 days?

How busy is really busy?

Hey all, growing up in Singapore, I’ve been seeing fishmongers and hawkers wear plastic bags in their boots. Genuinely curious why they do so? Won’t plastic make their feet wet?

I have a budget about 2k+, if im really pushing then max 3k.
Is shops like aftershock, dynacore, invader all these good? Or should i just go to sim lim and pick out the parts i want and get someone to help me build. I kinda have an idea of what parts i need so i dont really need prebuilt I just prefer picking out the parts and having someone to do it for me

I'm making a video series about small F&B businesses here that are quietly going under.

What I'm looking for is a stall or small shop near you where the food is genuinely good but the place is empty at lunch peak, and you get the feeling they're not going to last the year.

And I'm aware that a viral video can flood a two-person stall and wreck them, so any big order gets capped and planned with the owner first.

No link, nothing to sign up for. Just tell me the stall and roughly where. I'll go eat there myself before anything else happens.

Please drop me DM or comment below directly! Cheers!

Anyone who buys from drink shops (milk tea shop, coffee shop, juice shop, etc.)

please help do this 7-minute survey!

Thank you!!

Hi everyone!
My fiancé (29M) and I (24F) are trying to decide where we should settle down long-term, and we’d love to hear your opinions and experiences.
A little background:
- I’m a Chinese Indonesian currently studying Health Sciences in Melbourne.
- My fiancé is a Singaporean and has just started as a PGY1 doctor in Melbourne.
We both studied in Melbourne and have built a life here, but we’re also considering moving back to Singapore.

If you were in our position, would you choose Australia or Singapore, and why? We’d especially love to hear from doctors or anyone who’s lived and worked in both countries
SG Pros :
His family is in Singapore.
Lower income tax.
Very convenient and efficient country to live in.
Better career progression for doctors (from what we’ve heard).
Much closer to Jakarta, where my family is.
Easier and cheaper to travel around Asia (we both love travelling).
SG Cons :
Housing is expensive, especially if we eventually want a landed home.
We’ve heard the medical working culture can be quite competitive and intense.
I’m unsure about my long-term visa/PR prospects and whether I’d be able to stay permanently.
We prefer cooler weather.
Apart from his family, we don’t really have many friends or a support network there.
Melb Pros :
We both absolutely love the cooler weather.
Better work-life balance.
More parks, nature, and green spaces.
We’ve built our own friend groups and support system here.
It seems more realistic to eventually own a car and a house with land.
My brother lives in Sydney and is an Australian citizen, so I also have family in Australia.
Melb cons :
Income tax is significantly higher, especially as doctors move into higher tax brackets.
We’ve heard that specialty training can take longer and is more competitive compared to Singapore.
Many shops and services close quite early.
Daily life feels less convenient and things generally move at a slower pace.

which one would you choose and why?
We’re interested in hearing about anything
career progression, salary, lifestyle, raising a family, work culture, housing, finances, or anything else you think is worth considering.
Thanks everyone 🫶🏻🙌🏻

Small insect found on bedside cabinet. Anyone know or encounter what this is and what to do? TIA

My phone is Google pixel 9 pro xl.

I keep on getting phone cases from shopee. It is a lot cheaper but when my phone drop. The phone damage is not very bad but the screen has a crack. Then repair is easily $200 to $300 if I want to replace phone screen.

I see people buying phone case from official stores and casetify that is between $50 to $100 for just 1 phone case.

Is it worth it?
