I'm visiting SG for the second time in the next few weeks! Last time I visited Peranakan Museum, National Gallery, Chinatown, Little India, my hotel was in Boat Quay but I didn't visit any bars tho, and of course explore Jewel Changi.

Singapore is expensive so I'm leaning on experiences and something heritage rather than shopping/restaurants/cafes.

I have book a ticket for CapitaSpring and want to go to Garden by The Bay bcs I didn't have the chance to.

But other than that I don't have ideas. I'll be staying in China Town but will have an event in Rochester Park. I have 2 nights when I haven't booked any hotel so if you have cheap recs in somewhere interesting pls let me know too! My budget is around $50 for 2person/night. Preferably real hotel, not capsule/dorm.

Oh and I'd love to visit grocery stores! It's fun looking at what people consume on daily basis! If you have recs of places that have good variety for me to look at, lol

Thanks!

Akhir-akhir ini nyadar bahwa gue enjoy bgt di dapur. It's like crafting but you can eat the result and doesn't just become clutter.

Seneng bgt menganalisis rasa, kayak oh!! masakan ini enak grgr ada rasa rempah ini ya.. Ohhhh kayaknya daun ini cocok nih sama ini.

Pengennya sih bisa masak dengan benar sampe pede hosting dinner gitu lah ya... Not professional, but confidence enough in my cooking that it'll taste good for most people

So far gue lg suka nontonin tutorial knife skills, belajar ttg piso (jenis, cara ngasah). Lagi baca salt acid fat heat samin nosrat jg.

Hi! Mau review sedikit dan nanya ke kalian, supermaket mana yang fresh produce nya paling ok baik dari harga maupun kualitas. Feel free to share!

My reviews:

AEON supermarket vs Farmers

Harga ayamnya ok bgt dibanding Farmers Market. Di farmers market boneless skinless breast bisa 9.9k/ons 🫠 di aeon 6-7k/ons iirc

Kualitasnya kayaknya segeran aeon sedikit dibanding farmers, tp overall okay sih kualitasnya. Gue notis potongan di farmers lbh gede (satu whole thigh bisa 300gr, di aeon paling 150-200). Aeon byk pilihan potongan.

Kalo sayur kurang lebih sama sih, cuma Farmers lebih byk pilihan. Tapi aeon suka ada sayur yg langka kayak rebung, farmers kadang aja. Kalo yg hidroponik/organik serupa aja sih kualitasnya.

Hypermart:

🧍 Apa di tempat gue zonk ya. Tapi fresh produce nya gak terlihat fresh, jadi gak selera beli... Harga jg gak murah kayaknya

O'save:

Not fresh produce sih tapi frozen meats. Udah 2x beli ground beefnya, MURAH BGT... 25k/250gr... Di farmers itu 25k/ons 🫠 tapi gue notis kyknya fat contentnya cukup tinggi. Belum bandingin sama punya farmers/aeon sih, mungkin next gue bakal coba masak side by side. Taste wise sih normal aja, gak ada bau atau rasa aneh. Tapi warnanya coklat, instead of merah kayak di farmers. Belum beli tp warna ayam frozennya jg agak coklat jd kurang menarik....

Kalo buah gue bandingin farmers vs aeon vs kebun buah vs total buah

Langganan di kebun buah, kayaknya harga dan kualitasnya ok sih. Lengkap juga. Kalo di farmers/aeon gue suka buah impor kyk jeruk2 dan apel2 aneh nan mahal. Lighting toko bikin buahnya keliatan seger bgt. So daily, kebun buah. Once in a while buat nyobain, farmers/aeon.

Total buah menurut gue pilihan buahnya meh. Malah snack nya yang menarik🤣

Superindo:

Ayamnya lbh murah dari farmers, tapi sepertinya sama kayak aeon? Kurang seger dibanding keduanya, tapi lbh seger drpd osave. Jujur potongannya gede bgt agak serem🤣

Papaya:

Gak pernah beli fresh produce krn kayaknya mahal deh. Tp variasi frozen veggiesnya menarik sih. Gue nemu bayem frozen 500gr cm 38k, such a steal dibanding bayem hidroponik seiket 15k.

Maaf ga pernah belanja ke pasar krn jauh dr pasar. Kalo waktu ngekos di jogja gue suka beli fresh produce di shopee🤣 ayamnya murah... Dada sekilo keknya 55k aja, but it's been at least a year ago.

Sering baca kalo ngantuk setelah makan itu seringkali karena blood sugar spike, dan salah satu cara ngatasinnya dengan jalan santai setelah makan biar gak ada spike itu. Tapi kemaren gue coba, tetep ngantuk T-T gue gak tiap habis makan ngantuk sih, tapi kemarin itu makan nasi cukup banyak di sore hari, dan mau ada kelas, jadi gue pikir jalan kaki 20 menitan bisa bikin gak ngantuk pas kelas...

ini apa yang salah ya... penasaran jg jadinya kalo habis makan banyak karbo (misal nasi goreng atau mie instan), jdnya baiknya gmn biar gak ngantuk?

thanks!

Tadinya mau servis laptop yang sekarang, tapi makin lama makin banyak anehnya... Kayaknya mending ganti sekalian ya mengingat harga memori kayaknya akan naik terus...

Butuh laptop buat kegiatan office sehari-hari. Sejauh ini cuma pake ms office, paling mentok ngolah di excel/sheets tapi gak gimana2 sih, datanya gak gede bgt juga. Mungkin nanti bakal belajar data analytics kyk SQL, Tableu dll atau olah data penelitian pake spss dan sejenisnya.

Nyari yang

- baru!! (Disubsidi ortu dan ortu gamau yg bekas)

- performa ok untuk task di atas

- awet (more like... future proof? yg bisa dipakai jangka panjang >5 tahun hopefully)

- portable, relatif ringan dan awet baterenya

- merek jelas dan terkenal kayak asus, lenovo, dll (again disubsidi ortu jd butuh diapprove)

pacar nyaranin macbook neo tapi gue punya impresi bahwa produk apple itu mahal untuk speknya... dan emg si neo mahal jg sih, tanpa melihat spek pun😂

budget 10jutaan, ±15% boleh tp lbh murah lbh baik...

thanks bang

Not puans only but would appreciate it if the guys don't jump in unless you have something very important to say

Am I blackpilled by the tons of marriage and parenting horror stories I see on the social media?

- awalnya ingin childfree krn aku ga pernah interaksi sama anak kecil dan ga tertarik. My parents gak suka anak kecil juga, bukan benci ya, tapi bukan yang nyamperin bocil gimana2 gitu. Neutral? So naturally i dont get exposed to much interaction with kiddos

- my older brother is getting married soon and they're almost 100% childfree. This makes me feel weird to be the one that ultimately decides to end the family lineage.

- to add on the family thing, i think my parents did mostly great job raising kids and making sure we're living better than they did. So it's a an upward trend in our family wellbeing, and it feels like a shame to end something that's going good

- my current bf wants children, so 🤷

BUT

as a woman, in patriarchal world, in thsi economy, with passions other than just homemaking (i do love home making, but dont want to do just that), having kids seems like hitting a big red PAUSE button on your personal and professional life that you might not be able to push back to resume.

my mom was (and is) a career woman and she enjoys it and she always told me (in light/joking manner) that she couldn't wait to get back to work after giving birth.

another thing is my parents were supported by my grandparents, my Popo lived with us until she passed when i was 16. She cooked for us 3 meals per day, she stayed at home all day do my parents can work from an office. I worry when it's my turn to have kids, my/bf's parents won't be able to provide such support and we have to arrange childcare ourselves

so idk i think maybe i want to hear the good stories to balance the nightmares I've read

OTOH im suspecting I'm actually an anxious person and resulting in me trying to control everything so i know the outcome beforehand but adulting means more and more things are not predictable

I hope i make some sense!

Iseng beli ground beef di O'save. Ada ide kah masak apa? Di rumah sih ada pasta sauce tapi ingin coba yang lain... Yang simple aja tapi, jangan kayak bakso hehe...

Penasaran pgn pake nasi tp yg enak apa ya selain nasi goreng...

First of all pls no diet tips I've probably read and tried it anyways

CAPEKK GENDUT 😭 Dan bukan masalah ngaca doang, beneran gendut dari BMI dan dari baju baju gue pada gak muat 😭 yg dibeli pas kurus gak muat. Yang dibeli pas gemuk dan awalnya longgar, jd mulai ketat

WOYYYY ak hanya ingin bisa nikmatin sebulan tanpa perlu mikirin asupan kalori dan bisa makan apapun kapanpun. Im not restricting strictly, skrg makannya balanced kok. Real food jg. Tapi kdg pengen bisa jajan es krim tanpa mikir dua kali.

Udah 7 taun diet... Iya naik turun.. yang works cuma ngegym + IF tapi IF tuh gak sustainable. At some point gue pengen makan bebas beneran bebasssss gausa mikirin nnti gendut nanti naik bb. Ngegym enjoy tp gue masih susah ngatur waktu kalo emg ada kerjaan atau lg sibuk.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA gue tau gmn biar bb turun, tp itu tuh butuh usaha yang beneran usaha. Sometimes i just want to be free!!!

Dan ini bukan cuma estetika!!! Kesehatan jg!!! Kalo gendut gue engap, kalo engap makin males gerak . ARGHHHHHHHHH honestly it's financial too!!! kalo kurus bisa beli baju murah krn baju cina murah murah tp kecil bgt lol kalo kurus gue bisa fit in my old clothes jd ga harus beli baju. They also fit better !!! So i look better !! So i spend less on things trying to fix something that's actually my weight!!!

No, i don't hate myself. I just want to break free from the cycle 😭😭😭😭😭😭

Reading another redditor's vent reminded me of my own unhinged ex so i want to scream the story to the void too. enjoy, lol.

my ex (who broke up with me, btw) from SEVEN years ago was trying to contact me multiple times over the years. I already have a new boyfriend, the last time he contacted me, I was already dating my bf for THREE YEARS. While me and my ex only dated for... 5 months... that's actually 4 months bcs one of it was libur semester and we were LDR and texted like 5 times during the LDR phase

First instance was him texting me from a new number, asking to meet so he could have closure (🙄), it'd be the last time we meet, he said. I told him no, and blocked him on WA.

Few months passed by and he dm'd on IG. I always replied the greetings (in retrospect I gave him too much benefits of the doubt) but if the next text is not about academics/professional biz, I won't reply. It was apa kabar kok ga pernah post stroy bullshit so I blocked him on IG and Twitter, and maybe email iirc lol bcs i was really done with him.

I thought it was over. Then HE CONTACTED ME ON TELEGRAM... He texted me a long ass paragraphs about how he's sad that we're not talking as kating-adting and he wants to be friend but i wasn't having it so i told him to stop contacting me. He was being pushy so I gave him ONE chance to explain what he wants from me and it WAS. SO. CRINGE. he's like "im done trying to hold you anymore" brother... I've been in someone else's arm for... years... you have no hold of me 😭 wdym... why are you so delusional...

i told him i had no interest in having any form of relationship with him, and asked him to not contact me in any way.

Thankfully haven't had him contacting me again since last year so hopefully that'll be the last of it.

It was just crazy. He wasn't even a good bf😭 he didn't even like me that much. at the end of the relationship he was SWIPING ON BUMBLE in front of me telling me he was only trying to find his friends to make fun of them... and i believed him lol (IN MY DEFENSE I WAS SO YOUNG I WAS MABA COMING OUT OF AN EQUALLY FUCKED UP RELATIONSHIP SO BEAR WITH MY 17 YO SELF PLS)

Felt like I've been in limbo for so long. I thought finishing college would gave me a clear sight of where I am in life, but apparently getting a job doesn't even cut it

24F, WFH at my parents house (not working for them), paid by the hour, and in average i work 4 hour/day. This one project, i like it. But im basically a part timer making well, half of UMR.

I feel like im still exploring, dan aku beruntung+bersyukur punya privilege ortu yang masih kerja dan produktif (dan suka kerja, so they dont rush to retire), masih dikasih kebebasan untuk ekplorasi,bukan dipaksa nyari kerjaan apa aja. They even tell me to pursue S2, altho they wont be paying for tuition, lol but they'd help with living expenses (and they do, i still got allowance.)

For disclaimer i dont live lavish life, but it's comfortable. My parents are not some direktur or komisaris, but they do well. We can eat out few nights a week but not in super bougie place. My allowance is enough to fund my gojek trip to the gym, buying groceries mainly for me, buy tertiary items like skincare and perfume and baju brand lokal, but not liburan-ke-singapur or shopping spree di PI kind of money.

On one side it feels like im okay making less, bcs im currently doing concrete things to figure my career out (i have mentoring going on etc). On the other, im getting older!!! What if i messed up and missed the entry point??? Bcs i took too long to figure things out

Sedang mencari kursi kerja ergonomis untuk WFH. Budget preferably 1.5 juta tapi boleh lah up to 2 juta. Kalau bisa sih dudukannya mesh juga, supaya gak gerah tanpa nyalain AC. Lihat lihat ke toko furnitur di mall belom ada yang cocok, kemaren ke showroom furnitur china, termasuk lihat kursi Sihoo, menarik sih sebenernya tapi agak mahal jadi belom sreg.

But all in all im nosy and I want to know yall chair anyways lol

thanks!

Im annoyed bcs my team told me to come to an arranged work from cafe session yesterday to discuss some things but they informed me last minute that it's rescheduled to next week but I was already on the way and i spent the whole day at a cafe with unergonomic table and chair and then i made plan to meet my partner but there's a last minute urgent thing so he was late by one and a half hour and the resto i picked was hot and packed and after being late still had to open his laptop for another urgent task but u thought it's ok bcs i also had a meeting with volunteer group but everyone had things so it was very brief and i had to close the bill first and literally forced him to go to coffee shop next door bcs the resto is packed i felt uncomfortable hogging the table and i was so overstimulated and my brain was a mush i couldn't even do anything productive to kill the time waiting for him and i was so tired and we went to a park but he HAD TO OPEN HIS LAPTOP AGAIN and we actually had nice time at the park for a while but then he wanted to cool down so we want to nearby cafe and it was disgustingly overpriced and and and i only met him yesterday instead of today bcs my brother is supposed to visit today but cancelled last minute bcs his gf is getting a cold and and and and now im still feeling the leftovers stress and overstimulation and annoyance and im not sure what can i do to let off the steam

i was planning to drive to a nice ramen place but not i cant bcs my brother is not visiting and i cant really drive yet so i need to be supervised and if i go by ojol the ongkos would be the same or even more expensive than the food

i also spent more than i made yesterday (bcs im a freelance and paid by the hour and i didn't have that much task to do yesterday)

if you're reading all of it apologies and thanks,,, lolz

Lapto yang sekarang dipake adalah ASUS Vivobook S14 X411UNV dengan spek di screenshot di atas. Keluhan utamanya sih di batere yang udah drop dan body laptop yang udah retak sana-sini dan plastiknya udah brittle jadi di bagian dalam pun dia ada yang copot2. sampe ngeganjel di trackpad jadi macet2an kadang mau kadang gak (kata tukang servis). Layar ada garis merah setipis benang, tapi seringnya dipake di rumah dan pake second monitor juga. paling nyebelin baterenya aja sih jadi susah kerja mobile.

Kalo lagi nyetel netflix kadang ada suara kayak CD nyangkut terus nge-lag beberapa belas detik tapi nanti bener lagi.

Wifinya somehow gak mau konek sama hotspot hape gue... tapi konek ke wifi rumah/kafe/hotspot orang sejauh ini aman aja

Dipake untuk kerjaan office job biasa, buka tab chrome banyak, ms office, buka file pdf gede, excel, dll masih generally 75-85% smooth lah, kadang suka lemot dikit tapi gak kayak laptop jadul yang loadingnya gak manusiawi. It's still somewhat smooth, it just was a lot smoother.

Sekarang baru mulai kerja, income masih dikit, ngobrol sama ortu kayaknya sih mereka mau subsidi kalo gue memutuskan beli baru. Tapi di sisi lain, sayang juga... Kerja gue sering WFH dan sebagai desktop ini masih oke bgt.

Kalo servis, estimasi gue:

ganti batere, 800an; ganti casing maybe, di tokped harga casingnya 500-1jutaan

kalo beli baru, budget 10 jutaan dapet yang at least gak downgrade gak ya? kalo dari ortu sih agak kekeuh beli baru aja biar bener dari keadaan prima gak gambling ... (i know.. .thinkpad second .. i know... )

ada sarankah suhu dan om semua?

thanks🙏
