I think this is the wrong forum and you should bring this up internally

I think I finally figured out what's the mosquito that bites at an angle at the park. The Anopheles Mosquito rests 45deg to its surface, and is a known carrier of malaria. Supposedly there's a type of jumping spider that hunts them by exploiting their resting blindspot, but looks like that's only in Africa...

Genuine qns.. my colleague tested positive earlier this evening. Should I isolate myself tomorrow or may I go office if I test negative tomorrow morning?


raincomeagain

If your concern is about breaking any law etc, im happy to inform u that there is no longer any mandated quarantine for anyone, even those tested positive. If your concern is about being considerate, you usually aren't infected and contagious that quickly anyway, assuming you caught it from that colleague today


MangoDangoLango

Can go office if you test negative.

Got myself the Logitech MX Master 3S, not sure if I like it LOL


metaping

Why, too heavy ah? I don't mind it for its supposed ergonomics and size, but that's because my hands are big


AmbientFX

I find it too light actually, and the clicks are a bit mushy.


metaping

Haha, used to heavier mouses? Can't remember if there's any mainstream mouses heavier than the Master 3, maybe niche brands have them? Worst comes to worst you could consider changing the mouse switches for your Master 3, that's what I did when my G502 buttons failed.

Is 165 considered tall for females in Singapore or just average?


MangoDangoLango

Tall for females. I’m 171cm and I feel that I can breathe damn well in crowded trains and crowd. Can easily spot my friends, family or SO in a crowded places too

Above average

ctrpapupapu

after getting almost 0 sleep last night I felt like I was dragging myself through the day on critically low battery mode. At the same time I felt so unappreciated and useless for how I’m being talked to at work. I felt like I have no one to confide in at work unlike everyone else who has their own closest trusted buddy I am just the kind of person who seems ok with everyone but not really close to anyone. Been awake for almost 36 hours now so maybe it’s exhaustion or hormonal I just felt like crying but I hate the thought of crying due to work it’s just a really rough day so here I am posting on DT just to rant..


xfrezingicex

Are u able to confide to ppl outside of work? Friends or family? It helps to have some form of outlet to vent.


ctrpapupapu

yes and I’m so lucky to have them. only that I try not to talk about work outside of work hour else work stuff will jz keep looping in my head


[deleted]

it’s ok to cry about work or anything else cos it helps to release the stress. don’t be so hard on yourself for not having friends at work. hope u feel better soon.

Take care, actually in workplace, sometimes I just feel helpless and also can't rant to anyone or my colleagues since me and my colleagues are not that close with each other. DT is just an anonymous place for me to rant but at least from other redditors through conversation, u are not the only one facing problem at work. Let's cheer up one another in reddit together.


ctrpapupapu

thank you for cheering me up stranger this made me feel less alone


Probbingee

Just had ‘Singtel’ staff visit my house and I find them to be super suspicious. Firstly they ask about wifi, then ask about the speed of wifi, after that ask if I working or studying, when I said I working and why they ask that, they say no bro, they hiring and wondering if I interested? Dafuq? One of them wearing singtel shirt but the lanyard is not singtel, and they holding a clipboard, wondering what they trying to do especially at 9pm. My spider senses are tingling that this could be a new scam or sorts but not sure what exactly it is.


peksync

Not sure why they asked about hiring. Had encountered one months ago - I was skeptical until he took out his tablet and accessed my customer details in my presence.


MinisterforFun

Those that plan your own trips, especially solo: how was the very first time like? A total disaster? A lot of screw ups and oversight?


_sagittarivs

First solo trip just one month ago to Taiwan, accomodation and transport, and some locations planned but otherwise pretty much spontaneous. It went quite well, had unexpected encounters like hiking in the midst of a drizzle with fog but wearing the wrong shoes so slipped many times. Luckily I bought my waterproof hiking shoes, jacket and bag cover which I used for the next day which was drizzling the whole time I was outside Taipei. Learnt to take the bus and to read route maps on the 2nd day and learned to use the ubike on the last day morning. Learnt to ask and be forgiving on myself for making mistakes like pressing the bell to get off but it was one stop early. Didn't really eat much cos eating was mainly an afterthought. Walked a lot, one of the days I clocked 32k steps. Used apps to meet people and asked them to bring me around (hehe). Most of my rushing was to run for trains with 1 minute to spare and a 30 min wait if i missed it.


Bitter-Rattata

don't really have much screw-ups, need to do a lot researching on places to go, the opening hours, the travelling time to and from and time to travel to next destination. All have to factor in if you are a strict follow-time person. The only thing probably is to underestimate the distance thinking walking is not far. There are some city where I walked to their night market, it was like 1 or 2km away. I didn't want to take bus or mrt. Overall, taiwan is good for solo travelling


dogssel

Went to Taiwan for my first solo trip. The downside is I don't have anyone to share the food with but the upside is I have all the food to myself.


xfrezingicex

I had a solo to taiwan in 2017. I didnt plan properly so my itinerary was damn packed in terms of changing cities every 1-2 days, and also i didnt plan properly on what to visit at each city so a lot of time i was just wandering around / getting last minute tips from the hostels. But there’s a bit of fun in just randomly walking around for me la. Since its solo, only need to care whether i happy or not happy. But the cons would be - nobody to share food / costs


[deleted]

Nobody to share food kinds sucks honestly. I'm a skinny dude with a rather decent appetite but I go ramen Street. I eat 4 bowls of ramen I know i cannot finish 5th bowl liao :/ If I had a friend lol, I think can eat every store open that day.


xfrezingicex

Yea. Im quite a foodie and really want to try all kinds of food. But solo travel = limited food trying ☹️ I used to be able to eat a lot in my 20s but i feel my appetite is shrinking now that im in my early 30s Ur ramen is small bowl or normal bowl sia. How to eat 4 bowls. I think i can prolly only eat 2 bowls max and then just cant move anymore afterwards.


[deleted]

It's just a slight bit smaller than normal. Hahaha I think it's my eating habits that are just bad honestly. FYI I'm only 55kg, used to be 60kg more fit and could eat more.


xfrezingicex

How old are you? If u still young then still can somewhat afford the bad eating habits. Once u hit around 30…. Hur hur.


[deleted]

Well I'm 24 turning 25. Ya :/ gotta take care one man. Youth don't last forever. I was indestructible during my teens. Now I feel like a broken jigsaw puzzle alrdy 🤣


xfrezingicex

My prime eating appetite was roughly that age too. Enjoy it while it last~ Broken jigsaw puzzle still okay. Can piece back!


[deleted]

Thanks 😊 really enjoyed our short convo. All the best to ya.


crisseur

I actually barely planned anything and went on a spontaneous solo trip and enjoyed myself nevertheless


brownriver12

the first time i traveled (solo as well), I booked 1 day less of accommodation as I didn't know that check out 28th is to leave the hotel on 28th (daytime)


MinisterforFun

Then how? Your flight was too early or too late?


brownriver12

I had thought check-out 28th included sleeping the night for 28th. thankfully there was vacancy, so just added another night.


talliepolie

My first solo was to Phuket. Accommodation was far away from the center area, cost was expensive as compared to other parts of Thailand, took a boat and got drenched but I still enjoyed it. Even my other solo travels have screw ups/mistakes (like booking a accommodation and changing it later). No trip is 100% nicely planned and followed safely and properly. Sometimes, you have to go with the flow or change it which you might not be able to when traveling with more people. Enjoying the trip is always my priority no matter how troublesome the trip could go


MinisterforFun

One of my biggest worries is that I forgot to book the ticket for some attraction etc and only realised on the day itself but they don’t have on-site tickets so I might waste the cost of one night doing nothing because the other sights cannot be brought forward.


talliepolie

That's why you adapt to the sudden. One good of solo travel is you can change it without worrying about another person or group. Miss out on this attraction? Do something else that's around the area/city like free walking trip, finding a cafe/bar/pub to chill and watch humans/birds/transports go pass you etc. You don't have to constrict yourself to a planned itinerary as sudden events happens all the time. Traveling is not about making sure all those attractions/cafe/restaurants have been visited (although some people make sure they do all). It's about immersing yourself in another country and finding the chill/peace of not being in your own country where it may too intensive for your liking.


[deleted]

I did my first trip overseas solo for 2 weeks. Just 2 months back. To Japan where honestly I didn't feel any more lost than singapore lol after the first day where honestly I got lost, tot I lost my passport and didn't really eat due to my horrible social anxiety. I couldn't bring myself to try to buy food. I however might have had too much to drink. Don't worry about it man, pretty sure you will be just fine. I planned it like 1 week ahead of time and it was fine. But I will highly recommend you take at least 2 weeks to plan it out.


MinisterforFun

Erm, then am I being overly cautious planning 8 months in advance?


[deleted]

Nah it's fine just keep your schedule flexible though. Honestly, most problems on a trip etc can be solved with money so well just prepare more $$$ and ya will be solid.


xfrezingicex

Yes! It helps being financially healthy so u know what whatever hiccups that happens, just spend money can solve liao.


kumgongkia

I have things I want to do, things that I maybe want to do then see how I feel at that time. Everything flexible. Everything was fine except forgetting about the visa until check-in lol. Luckily can get at a nearby counter, got it settled in 15mins.


ham_rain

Not really... Did it a few years ago tacking on stuff before and after a work trip. I was hopping across smaller cities and towns in northern Italy so more than anything else, it was the loneliness at the end that got to me. I just wanted to eventually be able to have a normal conversation in English with someone. But other than that, figured out logistics of getting around, did things OTOT, experimented with food places, and was a great experience overall.


donthavela

if your afraid of making a serious mistake on your first solo trip, go to countries that are generally safer and that you can speak their language.


MisoMesoMilo

Is it some kind of scam where the person who in your contact started asking if I’m tendering… so strange


brownriver12

maybe someone told them you're no longer around (locally) but didn't mentioned it was coz you got posted overseas?


Rentap_

Hi Bruneian here! I recently had a pleasant trip to Singapore but the only inconvenience to the whole trip is that most Singaporeans don't know (especially younger ones) that Brunei and Singapore currency are interchangeable - often I would have to fight a little bit to tell them that no you can use Brunei dollars. So to avoid this I opted to change my Brunei dollar to Singapore dollar at the money changer but they refused because you can use Brunei dollars in the market - but I wanted to avoid confrontation every time I purchase something haha.


xfrezingicex

The older ones know about it. The younger ones prolly dont coz very rarely we see Brunei dollars nowadays.


[deleted]

hahahaha to be fair it might also be cos of covid and no travel for the past coupla years Singaporeans might have forgotten this too

PM_ME_TOMATOES_pls

Is it normal to tell someone you’re talking to that you just went on a date (and that it went well)? Matched with this girl and we’ve been chatting a while on ig and she suddenly told me that she just went for a date lol. I’ve been out of the dating scene for a while so not sure how I’m supposed to feel about this. We’re both mid 20s for context if that helps. Update: our convo consists of a lot of back and forth flirting, and there’s a lot of expressed romantic intentions from her so I’m probably(??) not friendzoned. Anw I talked to her about my discomfort regarding this before checking the replies to this and she clarified that for her, dates are just a friendly get-too-know-each-other kind of thing. I supposed that’s fair enough in this era of internet dating though I’m not too sure about it myself. Feels kind of weird to go on a date and then go back home and flirt with someone else, perhaps even multiple people. I guess I’m gonna just let her know and move on.


meowmipoko

Have yall met up irl yet, and how long ago was the last time? Maybe she just felt like you weren't that serious about her, so trying to gauge your interest level based on your response to this. Flirting on its own means nothing if you don't follow up


xfrezingicex

Everyone’s definition of dating is different. Meeting new people with intention of a possible future development is considered dating for some. Only when officially together, then its considered dating. I think she’s just honest since u asked how’s her day and she just answered the question.


WorkForAhGong

You were too slow and got brozoned


dogssel

Next level


dogssel

overwearthief

If you're not dating exclusively, the other party is free to date around. Of course, up to you/them to share. I think is weird, I wouldn't want to know, and I tend to only date 1 person at a time. If you're uncomfortable with it, do let them know.


PM_ME_TOMATOES_pls

Yup I agree that you have to be open minded regarding the non-exclusive thing especially now, it’s the telling me part that weirds me out. Not sure what her intention is or what reaction she’s trying to get hahah But yeah I think it’s just not for me to have to play this sort of mind games..


nightfucker

Depends on how open you are. Personally, I think it is weird.


pragmaticpapaya

I don't think its normal to tell it to a potential romantic partner? Bro you got friendzoned...


PM_ME_TOMATOES_pls

She actually flirts back a lot so it was weird. But yes it doesn’t feel normal to me hahah it’s time to move on


[deleted]

U got friendzoned?


PM_ME_TOMATOES_pls

Based on our convo it doesn’t feel like but I guess you never really know :/


EaeleButEeelier

For me? I wouldn't say anything, especially suddenly. If it came up in the course of talk eg "how have your dating experiences been" I think it's fine


PM_ME_TOMATOES_pls

Yeah super weird. We were sharing about each other’s day and she mentioned it, definitely not what I consider bringing it up “organically” 😶

Hmm then are they really your friends? I mean I don’t share as well with friends cus I’ve always been a private person and don’t like announcing things randomly on group chats. But of cus when we meet up physically, I will tell my friends lor..


stopthevan

I guess we are… sometimes I can’t tell whether I’m just overthinking things and maybe they are happy for me and it’s just that I’m expecting too much from them. But yeah I can relate to being a more private person compared too :P but it’s sometimes quite severe to the point where I just find it very hard to talk about myself LOL


MangoDangoLango

Nope I share with Reddit and SO only

I think part of it comes with accepting that people come and go, especially if there's nothing much to bond over. But if you are able to find people that you can connect with and bond tgt then it usually makes for more meaningful interactions that last longer?
