I've read about film cameras, iPods and portable CD players making a comeback overseas. Does anyone here actually carry them daily?
39+ M here. Feeling burned out from work, family and generally life. Initially I thought I just needed more energy, so I’ve been faithfully working out for years. But it’s come to a point where nothing is helping. And as time flies my circle of friends is getting smaller as everyone is becoming more focused on their families or personal interests. I find myself more and more lonely although I’m married with kids. But life no longer hold the same excitement and meaning it once held. Everything is now a chore and a task to complete and expectations to meet. Things are getting rather meaningless. Anyone else feeling this way?
Around 5 months ago, I decided to leave my corporate role and have never looked back since then. The thing is, I keep seeing articles or posts about millennials feeling burnt out, wanting to leave the corporate world, go BaristaFIRE, work part-time, work a less stressful job and so on. But I’m wondering how representative this actually is.
Fellow millennials do share your experience! Or if you know someone who had similar experiences.
Hey guys, just wanted to see if anyone else living around Punggol is noticing this or if it’s just happening around my block.
I know Punggol is a newer estate so there are naturally way more young people here, but honestly as a student myself, I can’t help but notice a lot of bad influence going on lately.
The neighborhood just feels way more rowdy now. I always see groups of secondary school kids loitering and hanging out at the HDB stairwells. I’m usually quite chill about people hanging out, but it’s getting a bit hard to ignore. They make a ton of noise that echoes all the way into the houses, and they’ve been mixing with older crowds who are openly smoking and vaping right there at the fire escape.
Honestly, seeing kids who are still so young in secondary school getting into vaping and smoking this early is pretty worrying. It’s getting super brazen and they just do it out in the open now.
Are you guys seeing this around your own blocks too? Just wanted to see if anyone else relates to this or has been noticing the same trend around Punggol. Let me know what you guys think.
Hi! i would like to interact with kittens / cat before i make a commitment. Seems like only these two organisations have interactions with cats before you decide to make life time commitment? anything else or any comments?
cat lovers please chime in!
A colleague found out her kid has been spending on Pokemon card livestreams. The no pack limit type where they keep ripping until you hit something
She blames herself for not watching his spending, but it made me wonder if this is even supposed to be allowed
Dug around a bit. The platform's own seller rules say no pack limit and rip till you hit are prohibited
On oripas (mystery bags), MHA said this year that selling them may amount to cheating or illegal gambling depending on the facts
Under the Gambling Control Act, unapproved games of chance carry up to 7 years jail and a $500k fine. Inducing someone under 18 to gamble carries up to 6 years and $300k
Blind boxes and trading card packs were announced in Feb as something that would be regulated, with details due around mid 2026. It is October now and I cannot find anything saying the rules have actually kicked in
Meanwhile these streams run daily. I reported one and it came back no violation found
So what is the actual position? Am I missing something, or is this just a grey area until the new rules land?
Parents here, how do you handle it?
alright, so i recently graduated from RMIT with an extremely shit GPA (1.8). i know, it’s terrible. the reason why was because i had a hard time dealing with the loss of a family member while also dealing with my own personal issues. i know i should’ve just toughened up and focus and there were probably many things i could have done differently, but at the time, i was really just living day by day without giving much thought to the future.
somehow, i managed to graduate, and now i need to start looking for a job or an internship. but i also need some advice on how i can give myself better opportunities moving forward.
i know letting them know your gpa is more or less required
Hi there!! So recently, I've gotten into the football scene a bit after following the world cup hype this year. I wasn't that much into football in the past but once I sat down and started watching a few of the world cup matches, I finally understand why some people would dedicate their whole personality to this.
Just like everybody else, I was bumped when the world cup was over. But soon I learnt about club football on social media from other football influencers. This really piqued my interest and so I started to watch a bit of the premier league, champions league and la liga matches. Those were really interesting and thrilling to watch. The main thing is I still haven't chosen a club to support yet because there's a lot of clubs to choose from different leagues.
Some people have given me advice to follow my local football scene first and support local. It wasn't until last month that I've discovered Singapore has its own premier league matches (which is like lowkey kinda cool). So that's why I thought I might ask any football fans to help introduce the SPL to a newbie and which club to support.
All kinds of useful help and/or discussion is welcomed :) If anybody is wondering, I live somewhere in the south side of Singapore (around the Telok Blangah / Harbourfront area), so if anybody knows any clubs near the south side please also let me know!!
TLDR: Watched the world cup 2026, want to get into more of local club football but don't know which club / players to support, feel free to convince me to support your club as well!!
I am interested in working with fine art - working in somewhere like Sothesby, Christie's, Hotlotz (yes its the one that recently auctioned the loot from the infamous Fujian money launderers), art museums, art gallery etc.
For background I have been working a normal corporate job in finance / law for a couple of years. Late 20s. No academic background in art other than getting A+ in college for art history (lol)
Anyone been through a similar journey before or know where to get started?
Thank you kind strangers!
