Idk if it’s selection bias, but why are the Singaporeans here all earning an insane amount?

You earn 4k? Too little to survive SG it’s not even much

You earn 6k? lol that’s like every average Singaporean you’ll just survive but not live

Correct me if I’m wrong but a MAJORITY of Singaporeans are earning about 4.5k. And there’s a whole group who are earning less than 2.6k who aren’t even in the statistics.

Ffs idk if I’m out of touch with reality but this made me think that if I don’t earn 10k and above I’m not living life in SG.

And then you question why people are stressed and asking how much others are earning. No it’s not to make themselves feel better it’s to see how true these sweeping statements are.

Whether what we are earning commensurate with with our job scope and years of experience. Or have I been living in my fantasy bubble and 80% of Singaporeans are earning 10k minimum working as investment backers and software developers at FAANG. If you say 6k is too little, how would that make someone who is barely earning 2.4k feel?

I graduated from Uni few years back and minus your Comp science, IB , medicine grads, most of us are only earning somewhere between 4-5k now.

Oh yea let’s just heed their advice “Why care so much just live your life and stop comparing lol” lol and here we all are chirping in

I’ve been given the privilege of working from home for the past few months, and it’s been an amazing experience.

However, there’s one issue that I’m having: I’m constantly going missing from work. I’ll log in to my computer, get started on a task, and then mysteriously disappear for hours at a time to take a nap.

Take naps frequently and pushing his workload to his junior

I’d get distracted by some random thing, and then I’d lose track of time and always submit my work up late. But after a few weeks of this, I decided to push my workload to my junior instead of doing it by myself.

After a while, I started to feel guilty about this, and I tried to change my habit of taking a nap instead of doing my work.

However, it still kept happening, and I’d find myself taking a nap in the middle of the day instead of working.

Afraid that manager might find out

My manager was starting to get suspicious because my work had some rookie mistakes which I should not be committing at my level, and I was worried that he might find out.

I was worried that if he did, he’d take away my privilege of working from home.

So I started to be more careful, but it wasn’t enough.

Found out what I was doing

One day, I logged in to my computer and found that my manager had left a message for me.

He said that he knew I was taking naps during work hours and throwing my work to my junior, and that he was going to take away my privilege of working from home if I still continued to do the same thing.

I’m still working from home now, but it’s not the same. I feel like I’m constantly looking over my shoulder, waiting for my manager to catch me taking a nap.

I know I can’t keep this up forever, and I’m worried that I’ll eventually get fired.

As more and more people are turning to gaming, it has become clear that the traditional desktop is becoming more popular than ever.

For years, gamers have relied on laptops and other portable devices for their gaming needs, but now more and more people are opting to stay at home and game on a desktop.

Reasons why

There are a few reasons why more and more people are buying desktops rather than laptops. For starters, desktops are typically more powerful than laptops and they can be upgraded more easily to provide a better gaming experience.

Desktops also have larger screens, which makes it easier to see what’s going on in the game.

Another reason why people are opting to buy desktops rather than laptops is the comfort factor. A laptop can be difficult to use while sitting on a couch or chair, whereas a desktop can be placed on a desk or table.

This allows you to be in a much more comfortable position while gaming, which can help improve your performance.

Finally, more and more people are buying desktops because of the customization options they offer. With a laptop, you’re limited to what the manufacturer has pre-installed.

With a desktop, however, you can customize the components to suit your needs.

You can choose the processor, graphics card, RAM, and storage to ensure that you’re getting the best performance for your gaming needs.

Conclusion

Overall, it’s clear that more and more people are opting to stay at home and game on a desktop rather than a laptop.

Desktops are more powerful and they’re more comfortable to use, and they offer more customization options.

If you’re looking to get into gaming, a desktop is definitely the way to go.

When I first arrived in Taiwan, I was surprised by the number of people who seemed to joke about ‘kkj’ size. Everywhere I went I would hear people talking about how “big” a Taiwanese guy’s ‘kkj’ was, or how “small” another guy’s ‘kkj’ was.

Realised they like to exaggerate about the size

It was like ‘kkj’ size was some kind of competition, with Taiwanese guys trying to outdo each other.

It seemed that Taiwanese guys were particularly fond of exaggerating the size of their ‘kkj’, and it was getting out of hand.

I had a few experiences with Taiwanese guys who brag about their sizes before, but it was nowhere near what they claimed to be.

To be honest, I couldn’t understand why Taiwanese guys felt the need to talk about their ‘kkj’ size so much.

After understanding them, I figured out that it was all about bragging rights. Taiwanese guys seemed to think that having a big ‘kkj’ was a sign of masculinity, and that it would impress women.

It is about how you use it

Unfortunately, this is a huge misconception. In reality, ‘kkj’ size doesn’t really matter when it comes to pleasure.

It’s more about technique and the connection between two people. Taiwanese guys need to understand that women don’t care about ‘kkj’ size.

It’s also worth noting that most of the time, when Taiwanese guys are talking about ‘kkj’ size, they’re exaggerating.

I’ve heard guys brag about having a ‘kkj’ that’s longer than their arm, but that’s impossible. It’s just an exaggeration to make themselves sound better.

At the end of the day, ‘kkj’ size shouldn’t be a source of bragging rights or competition. It’s perfectly normal for a ‘kkj’ to be larger or smaller than average, and it doesn’t make a difference in the bedroom.

Taiwanese guys need to understand that bragging about their ‘kkj’ size isn’t going to impress anyone.

I had been drinking alone that night, as none of my kakis were free for a drink that night. I had just finished a pint of beer and was suddenly feeling a bit tipsy, but I wasn’t too concerned.

Walked back to my office unknowingly

I decided to take a walk to clear my head and ended up in front of my place of work. I had been working there for a few weeks now, and although I liked the job I couldn’t help but feel a little restless.

As I stood there, I felt a sudden wave of euphoria wash over me. I felt a strange sense of freedom, as if I could do anything I wanted without consequence.

I had never felt this way before, and I found it exhilarating.

Asked my manager to go home with me in my drunken stupor

I decided to go back inside and see if my manager was still there. I knew he was working late, and I thought it would be a good opportunity to chat with him.

When I got to his office, I was shocked to find him still hard at work.

I walked up to his desk, took a deep breath and asked him if he wanted to go home with me. His face turned bright red, and he stammered for a few moments before finally saying no.

He told me he was married and that this was inappropriate behavior. I was embarrassed and ashamed, but I couldn’t deny the feeling of power I had felt just moments before.

I apologized profusely and ran out of his office. I knew I had crossed a line, and I felt like I had let myself down.

I was embarrassed by my boldness as I had just known him for a few weeks and I would not have done that if I was sober.

It is true that I found him attractive and won’t mind ‘doing it’ with him but the timing was a little inappropriate due to me just joining this company.

Went back with him in the end

He came out after finishing his work and saw me still under my office building.

He approached me and told me that it was inappropriate of me to ask him inside his office as the room was being recorded.

He told me that he admired my boldness in asking me and started to come closer to me.

We made out and we eventually got a Grab to the nearest budget hotel and had a good two hours of ‘fun’ together.

This occasion was not a one off, as we had many more adventures throughout my few years working there until he resigned and went on to another company.

My mom and I were in the kitchen arguing about the same old thing: University.

She thinks I don’t need to study so hard, just find a rich guy will do

“Mom, I really want to go to university and get a degree. I’m not going to just find a rich guy and marry him,” I said exasperatedly.

My mother rolled her eyes, “Why not? You don’t need to study so hard. You can just marry someone and be taken care of.”

I stared at her in disbelief. I had worked so hard in Poly to get good grades and get accepted into a top university, and all she wanted me to do was find a rich guy and marry him?

I couldn’t believe my mother would even suggest something like that. But then again, she had been raised to think that women’s only job was to marry a good man and take care of the house.

“I don’t want a free ride. I want to make something of myself and make something of my life,” I said firmly.

Stress that women only need to marry well

My mother sighed and shook her head. “You don’t understand, darling. You need to find someone who can take care of you and provide for you. That’s how it’s done in life. It’s not about what you can do for yourself, it’s about who can do more for you.”

I felt a wave of anger swell up inside me. How could she be so dismissive of my dreams? I wanted to make something of my life and prove to her that I could do it.

Agreed with her just to avoid arguing with her further

But I knew there was no point in arguing with her. She had her mind set on this, and I knew that nothing I could say would change it.

So I just nodded and said, “Okay, mom.”

I went to my room and shut the door behind me. I was so angry, but I knew there was nothing I could do. I was stuck in a world that didn’t value my dreams and only valued a woman’s worth based on who she married.

I felt so hopeless and helpless.

I lay in my bed and cried until I eventually fell asleep. I knew there was no point in trying anymore.

My mother had made it clear that she didn’t believe in me and that gave my self confidence a big hit.
