How to reject this call?

It’s not possible… 🥲😂

24/7 on call pawma here!

4/11 Edited to

... Read moreBeing on call 24/7 can feel overwhelming, especially when it seems impossible to reject any incoming calls. From personal experience, setting clear boundaries is crucial for maintaining your mental health and work-life balance. One practical tip is to use the “Do Not Disturb” mode on your phone during designated personal times, which can automatically silence calls or send them to voicemail. Another helpful strategy is to communicate your availability to colleagues or clients in advance, so they understand when you’re reachable and when you’re not. This reduces pressure and helps manage expectations. The phrase from the OCR, "Summer is calling you slide to answer," is a nice reminder that sometimes you need to prioritize your downtime and enjoyment over answering every call immediately. Integrating small breaks and personal moments into your daily routine can recharge your energy and make you more effective when you do take calls. Ultimately, learning to reject calls respectfully and assertively can help you regain control of your time without feeling guilty, ensuring you stay productive while also taking care of yourself.

I'm not perfect with money, and honestly… no one really taught me how to manage it properly. most of the comments growing up was just: “save more” “don’t anyhow spend” "why are you spending on things like this?" but… is that really the big picture? let's be real, it’s NO

Hello friends, hope everyone has been well. 2026 has been happening… very happening! Within the first 3 months, so much has happened that i would call it a whirlwind of events, a series of unfortunate events and a tumultuous time. This is not to say that there was nothing to be grateful for

We rejected every center bombshelter unit. Here's why
Your bombshelter is permanent. You cannot hack it, move it, or remove it. Ever. But where it sits? That controls whether you can even have an open-concept kitchen. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🏗️ Why this matters SCDF Civil Defence Shelter Act — the walls, floor, ceiling, and door cannot be touched.

Sellers asked to illegal rent after extension
To first be able to buy a flat, you’ll need a HFE. You can apply that for free on HDB site. Once you have it, you can apply for a BTO or resale. Second, know the valuation of the house to avoid COV! Also always account for the extension of stay. EOS is a goodwill on buyer’s end, not compulsory.

Best decision ever to do confinement in JB!!
The usual price for the lowest tier room at Cheong Dam Postpartum Care Center is RM25000, but there was a promotion when I signed, so I paid RM18888 which translates to about $6000 SGD for 28days of stay. If you ask me if it is worth the price, I would say YES a hundred times 💯 On top of the mea
