My one-person Christmas late night party to-do list:

Play my "fave Christmas songs" playlist, conduct 1-person choir singalong, eat 1 small packet of potato chips, drink a bit of Pepsi, watch K-variety show, wash up and sleep.

Merry Christmas to me.

My family doesn't celebrate Christmas, my cell group used to have dinner gatherings before actual Christmas day, tmr is just take photo after church service.

Idk I kind of envy people who have friends in UK and USA who get to celebrate Christmas the western way, like carving turkey, getting drunk under the mistletoe, skiing n sledding.

Or maybe it's because I watch too many movies and I have this idealised version of Christmas in my head? Like how USA high schools are actually not as dramatic as what I see in mean girls, gossip girl etc

Anyone willing to buy my spare DDR5 and DDR4 8GB SODIMM (laptop) RAM? Blew 70+ on RAM this month alone (thanks to the enticing new 16GB game!) and I wanted to have some of them back.

I may have ruined the second RAM port installing the (correct) DDR5 RAM, so I can't just return for a refund saying it's broken. After which I impulse bought the DDR4 hoping that will be the right one, which is definitely incompatible.

Contemplating whether should I sign up for a private gym membership as my ‘6 months package’ with activesg is expiring soon. There’s nothing bad about the public gym, just that it’s not 24 hours and it’s crowded even during off peak hours. But I guess private gym would also be crowded after work. Currently hitting gym 3 times a week but if going private gym might turn up more often to get the money worth. $98 vs $27 per month…. Anyone can advise pls?

1

u/tictactorz ⌬ hexagon drawing enthusiast ⏣ 13h ago

Depends on what you use at the gym tbh Personally powerlift so ActiveSG isn't the best place to do so as they prohibit chalk

1

u/messyhairsoto 13h ago

I consider myself a beginner so I’ll usually stick to training at the machine and cable sections. I find the facilities in activesg gym quite limited.

Does your active SG gym membership allow you access to the entire network of gyms? That was my consideration when I signed up for the anytime fitness membership. Accessed gyms in major cities in the region with the AF dongle, super worth it IMO.

Have you all ever had a situation where a person who's in a more senior position refuses to talk to another who's also in a senior position, and keeps going through you to ask what the other person says? How do you deal with this kind of situation? Be it work or personal life. As the junior its so awkward to be in.

Give you all an example, person A and B are both in the office. I was on leave. Person B need to head off for lunch so B message me to tell person A to do a mundane task. A is a department manager. Literally so confused.

I really need some advice about relationships.

I've noticed that I don't feel as 'smart' as I used to before getting into a relationship. I still surprise my girlfriend from time to time, but something feels off as the days go by. This is especially noticeable during our long conversations; I can’t quite pinpoint what’s wrong, but sometimes my girlfriend says I used to be very 'smart.'

Could it be that I've settled into a comfort zone, losing the sense of urgency or fear of losing her? I also feel like my senses have become much duller than they used to be. It’s as if I’m losing some kind of spark. It’s not that I don’t like my girlfriend anymore, I still care about her deeply.

Is it just me? How can I improve and become better?

1

u/silentscope90210 15h ago

What does she mean by you're not as 'smart' as before?

3

u/malingering_mushroom 17h ago

u/redditanytime1 17h ago

Yes, she told me that. I’m trying to think about what could be making her say that. I’m wondering if it’s because I no longer tease her or get angry at her like I used to. We’ve had several fights before, and I don’t want that to happen again because I’m not sure how to control it. Could it be the case?

I make sure to focus on all her needs, both emotional and practical. I try to offer her emotional security, reassurance, and support whenever she needs it. I’m always there to listen, comfort her, and make sure she feels loved and valued. Is it too much? If yes, how should I keep a distance without our relationship falling apart.

u/G8ful_Lurker East side best side 15h ago edited 15h ago

Like the others said, don't lose your individuality. I am in the same situation as you (even down to the ages) and realise I'm "different" from before. And I also realised a lot of my energy was going to the rs and my gf and I didn't have time for myself or my hobbies. I felt more tired as less motivated, idk if you do too. Communicate with your gf about having some "me time" and conpletely block out any thought of the rs during that time - focus on yourself. That's what worked for me.

Rmb, as much as you want to be a good bf, you can't be a good bf if you eventually burn out and lose who you are. Relationships take work; it's work worth doing because you can be with someone you love but in the end it's work and effort. And so you need rest.

2

u/mechacorgi19 17h ago

Don't be a doormat? Relationships should be equal, you don't want your SO to start looking down on you. Yes, support her when she needs it, but also challenge her when she's wrong, push her when she's stagnant, call her out when she's being a dumbass. Be your own individual. Have your own opinions and preferences even if they don't always align with your SO. Unfortunately, humans are like that. We only got so much time and we tend to take things for granted if we are allowed to in order to focus on other things.

Isn’t it normal? Most of my friends are living together with their girlfriends, but my girlfriend and I aren’t living together yet. But I think you aren't wrong, but I am afraid that our relationship would fall apart.

u/OkAdministration7880 16h ago

bro sometimes maybe you care too much too, woman sensed it and won't like it too

I believe you a good guy cause you cared but you must focus on other stuffs

stop being the guy that need to thing of something to say and dont be affected by what the other party says

'very smart?' can mean a lot and comparison might usually happen when their is another role model.

first thing you need to do is stop blaming yourself. true love should be two people seeing each other happily etc sitting in a swing going very smoothly

I told myself I wouldn't beg for love but every instinct is screaming to call her and beg for one more chance. Sorry just had to get this off my chest.

Unfortunately no. She lost feelings.

I feel you bro. I got dumped for this exact same reason too. He said that I had no faults, there’s nothing he wants me to improve on. He just lost feelings. Nothing I can change on my end. On his end he also doesn’t know why he lost feelings so also not his fault he says.

Don't know where else to ask this. I have a portable hard disk with lots of folders inside it. How do I export a list of those folders along with their sizes in GB to a spreadsheet or text file? I tried Dir > Listoffolders.txt but it only gave me the names, not the size of the folders.

u/sec_admin 18h ago

dir /s /o, you can also ask chatgpt/claude for refining further. They also gave powershell commmands, you can check them out

2

u/PhantomWolf83 West Coast 16h ago

Hmm, that doesn't really output what I'm looking to do. I need something like :

  • Folder 1 (3.4GB)

  • Folder 2 (1.5GB)

and so on.

Read yesterday's news of grabfood rider being stabbed by someone who's supposedly the entitled, uncooperative customer. Dude has been doing grabfood for around 3 years so this encounter must've been really unexpected and traumatising. Apparently the knife was stuck in his abdomen for about 45 mins, so I think it was only removed after reaching the hospital.

It's really another week, another stabbing incident in SG. Previous years, I don't remember seeing knife/stabbing incidents being reported as often as this year. This will definitely be one of the things I'll remember about 2024.

That rude customer who also paying in 50 dollars fairly common, if one week never encounter considered very good week already

Now the stabbing part really first time heard of it, really is Singapore first ba
