MAN KENA LOOK DOWN BY SOCIAL CIRCLE FOR BEING POOR “STAY 3 ROOM FLAT “

0

How do you normally deal with those who look down on you?

We are a family of 3 and stay in HDB and do not own car. We are not into brandrd stuff as well. We live a simple life. We dont even have driving license because we dont think it is necessary yet as the public transport in SG is already very convenient and good.

However, we travel pretty often. We mostly travel during school holiday. In addition, like once or twice we will go to europe during school holidays.

This is the problem.

Some of our circle of friends often ask us this:

“How come you can go europe few times? Its not cheap right. How do you do it?”

“Eh why don’t you buy the BTO in this place? This is very good but its pretty expensive though. Like 800k larrr..”

“Wah your job can earn that much meh till can go to europe?”

So this is the thing. Our household income exceeds the maximum BTO income ceiling. Its not we do not want to buy or cannot afford to buy. We are not eligible to buy BTO. But we cannot be telling them this as we feel it sounds too bragging.

We go to Europe every year is exactly because we stay in HDB and do not own cars/other expensive expenses. To be honest, we do not even have to spend a single cash for our HDB because our monthly morgage is paid off by my husband’s monthly CPF. So the gross salary we receive every month is solely for our savings and monthly groceries/expenses. So it is safe to say, our most monthly expensive expense is only our HDB mortgage. Our only debt is our HDB. This is why we have some spare cash for our luxurious travel.

If they ask us once or twice in a while, i think its fine. But they ask us everytime they meet us, it is pretty bothering.

Is it just because you live in HDB, do not live in Condo do not own cars in SG snd not into branded stuff, you are considered “poor”?

GIRL UNHAPPY THAT BF SAVES MONEY AND DOESN’T BUY HER EXPENSIVE GIFTS

0

A netizen shared how her boyfriend doesn’t anyhow spend and chooses to save money instead of buying expensive gifts for her.

Here is the story:

“My boyfriend is a pretty frugal guy who doesn’t splurge on restaurants, cafes and expensive food. He does however once in a while spend on things that he likes.

Every time he dines alone, he goes to those marketplaces, hawker or food courts in malls, but he’s willing to spend more on restaurants whenever we hang out, though sometimes I still enjoy eating at non-restaurant places with him.

One thing about him that bothers me is that he doesn’t spend much on me like my friend’s boyfriend does.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not complaining or comparing, we still take turns to pay for meals, he isn’t being calculative with me, he buys me my favorite food and dessert too,

but what I’m saying is the lack of premium/expensive items like handbags, electronic gadgets, and jewelry.

I honestly don’t demand this stuff, but as a girl, who doesn’t want their boyfriend to pamper them once in a while, and I’m very much contented with him even if he does it just once or twice a year.

Moreover, he puts like 70% of his salary every month into trading. He did tell me before that now is not the right time for him to spend unnecessarily, as he wants to invest as much as he could so that we will have a much better life in the future.

I told him that he can’t possibly always be earning without spending, but my quote just simply doesn’t register in his head.

I know he’s been making money through stock trading, but honestly, I don’t feel happy at all if he doesn’t know how to pamper him or ourselves by spending it.

What shall I do? I don’t think a breakup is necessary, but I’d like to hear some useful opinions. Thanks.”

WOMAN DIVORCED “MUMMY’S BOY” BECAUSE HE NEEDS TO ASK MUM ABOUT EVERYTHING

0

A woman shared how she divorced her husband because he is a “mummy’s boy”, and that he needs to ask his mother about every decision that he makes.

Here is the story:

“Hi, Recently I walked out of a marriage as my soon-to-be ex-husband is a mummy boy. Every single decision he will check with his mother.

Eg, buying shirts, he will call his mother and discuss this. And wherever he calls his mother, he will go to another end to speak on the phone.

Some of the weekends, when mother and son go out they will ask me to stay over at my parent’s place.

I am glad that now I made this decision of walking away. There wasn’t much communication between us. He is definitely not an ideal husband.

Guys what are the red flags of a mummy’s boy? Please care to share more of your experience.”

Now, I’m a single mom and I’m doing my best to raise my two children. It’s not always easy, but I’m doing it. I’m also trying to take care of myself and focus on my own happiness.

My story is a reminder that we all have the power to take control of our lives. It’s important to recognize when someone is taking advantage of us and to stand up for ourselves. We have the right to be treated with respect and to make our own decisions.

No one should be treated like a second-class citizen, and no one should have to rely on someone else for every decision they make. I learned that lesson the hard way, but I’m thankful that I was able to move on and create a life for myself and my children.

Editor’s note: Does his mother choose the outfits that he wears as well?

GIRL IN MID-20S HAS CRUSH ON SECONDARY SCHOOLBOY SHE MET AT WORK

0

A girl in her mid-20s shared how she regrets rejecting a secondary schoolboy and wonders if she will ever see him again.

Here is the story:

“Recently I worked at a temp job and came to know this guy who is currently studying in upper secondary, which was almost a decade younger than me. I am a female btw. After the job ended, we had a chat over meal at the staff canteen.

He seems like a nice, shy guy. I think we had quite a good chat then, atmosphere wasn’t awkward and the conversation flows well.

During our chat, he asked for my social media account (I think he phrased it across two times) but I did not give him, as then I was thinking since I might not be going there to work again hence probably “pointless” to keep in contact as I am kinda tired of those one-off/drifted friendships, and also I am not that active on social media.

And we departed from there and walked in different directions. Somehow we managed to end up in the same train cabin (the train was pretty crowded), I noticed him but I think he did not see me.

So on my way back home, I suddenly felt bad and regret that I rejected him (in a nice way) for not adding him as friend on my social media.. I mean he at a young age, probably would have mustered all his courage to ask me for it whereas I did not appreciate that.

Also after that I think it would be quite interesting to have such young friend (which can be like a younger brother to me if the friendship goes on) to share about perspective in life etc since huge age gap.

Somehow this regret feeling of losing a potential friend have been going on in my head. I am not sure whether if still able to meet this guy again or anyone who is that young age with good and mature character (based on first impression of him, he seems to be that way).

Maybe if fate allows and we will meet again or the saying – the right people will be in our life? So even if we do not meet again, I shouldn’t be as bothered about it as everyone we meet in life is kinda fated?

Maybe I am thinking too much and that I should not feel so deeply about this and I should just open up and make more new friends? Probably I am feeling this way as I don’t feel the closeness I have with my other friends hence it felt like I have lose a potential new “long-term” friend (I don’t know).

This is just a rant. Anyone who have similar experience, may kindly share your story too. Or any comments or suggestions what I should do or change in my thoughts etc are welcome too!”

GIRL GETS SCOLDED BY BF WHEN “DOING IT”, STOP MIDWAY & START ARGUING

0

A girl shared how she got scolded by her boyfriend while having intercourse with him over his positioning and her feeling pain, they even stopped midway just to argue.

Here is the story:

“Are there fellow females out there who was scolded by their boyfriends during intercourse?

Me and my bf were getting it on but he was hurting me (i thought it was due to the angle he was hitting it at) so I kept telling him to centralise his body, he shifted a few times but I was still feeling pain whenever he thrust so I kept telling him to move to the centre.

he then got angry at me and shouted “it’s already in the fucking centre la”.

there were also other times when we would argue mid-intercourse due to our rs problems (he would start shouting at me and we would stop intercourse halfway cos our mood was spoilt).

Traumatized

I feel like he has traumatized me and my perception of intercourse bc of the bad experiences I had w him, and I don’t know how I’m going to ever heal from this.

I can’t be the only one who was scolded and shouted at during intercourse right? (it wasn’t in a kinky way btw, but he was legit mad at me)”

Editor’s note: Just scold him back and stand up for yourself.

MAN STRESSED THAT HIS GF IS A “EXHIBITIONIST”, WHO LIKES TO “EXPOSE”

0

Gf is an aspiring exhibitionist.

She has made several suggestive ideas of where we won’t get caught but I really prefer that we keep things private so I’ve not agreed to this idea.

There was once we went to this social event, after a few drinks she pulled me to the toilet and tried to…. I was worried about being caught and I’m just not comfortable so I told her I’ll surprise her another time when I have actually no idea how to help her realise her fantasy legally.

Is this a red flag? Should I be worried about her level of energy?

She’s hot and I love her a lot but I can’t keep up with her. Sometimes she wants 4 times in a row when I have a load of assignments to complete and I can only snuggle so much until I need to get back to work.

Helpssss…

It’s not like I don’t enjoy it, but I’m not sure if I can keep up with her in the long run. I love her, but I’m concerned that her desires might be too much for me. I’m not sure what to do.

I guess what I’m trying to say is that I’m worried that if I don’t help her fulfill her desires, she might get bored and look elsewhere. I want to make sure that our relationship stays strong and healthy, but I’m also worried that I might not be able to keep up with her level of energy.

I’m not sure what I should do. Should I try to help her fulfill her fantasy and hope that I’m not breaking any laws? Should I try to find some other way to satisfy her desires? Or should I just keep things private and hope for the best? I’m really not sure and I need some advice.

Here are what netizens think:

  • Sadly, she won’t be satiated with you… or any 1 guy
  • you will find no shortage of thirsty volunteers. good luck.
  • She needs to take more cold baths
  • she’s gonna need other guys.

GOJEK DRIVER SAYS HE DRIVE ALL DAY TO MAKE $350 A DAY

0

Ride hailing apps like Grab and Gojek to name a few have been around for quite some time in Singapore, bringing convenience in the daily lives of many who rely heavily on Taxis and private transportation services.

Recently, a post was seen on social media talking about one Gojek driver’s daily driving routine, resulting in fellow drivers having mixed feelings on whether it is wise and safe to have a daily driving routine like this.

In this post we will take a look at the said driver’s daily routine as well as the comments from some of the fellow drivers.

The said driver

The driver in question is known as Brian.

According to the Gojek website where they proudly present their featured drivers, Brian had started driving with Gojek due to the pandemic taking a toll on his business as his business requires traveling overseas and he was no longer able to do so.

Driving routine

Gojek describes Brian as an “all-day warrior” as he aims to drive almost every day unless he has commitments with his family.

Brian drives a whopping 12 hours a day from 11am to 11pm on Mondays to Thursdays, taking two short half an hour breaks in between his driving for his meals.

This routine lets him achieve his targets of about $300 – $350 a day on the said days.

Fridays are a little different for Brian as he starts driving from 6am to 9am, before continuing from 2pm to 11pm.

When it comes to the weekends like Saturdays and Sundays, Brian drives a whopping 14 hours a day with 3 breaks in between, enabling him to hit his target of $400 – $500 daily on weekends.

The amount of $400 – $500 daily is after taking into consideration the platform fees and service charges which Gojek charges every driver and after incentives.

Enjoys driving

Despite putting in the long hours each day, Brian said that he finds that the daily incentives given to him are quite achievable within his typical driving routine and he stresses that he is not a driver who will go all out and put in the extra effort to drive.

He finds that these earnings that he achieves are satisfactory in his standards and he is happy and does not feel any stress.

Earnings

These are screenshots of Brian’s earnings, as seen from Gojek and the amount that he earns is really what he claims that he can manage.

Advice to fellow drivers

Brian advises fellow drivers to take care of their health, keep a positive mindset and recharge with their loved ones.

He also advises drivers to drive smart and be patient as the demand for Gojek rides is high and always there.

Comments from fellow drivers

Fellow drivers have taken to Facebook to comment on Brian’s driving routine.

Most of the comments were sarcastic and in disbelief even though they might have meant it as a joke.

Some commented that the way he drives is a ticket to being hospitalized and some said that doing so will mean that the sacrifice of family time will be a lot.

One commented that the rest were just being jealous of Brian’s earnings and said that he does not deserve to be labeled a slave just because he is fighting for his own rice bowl.

Another called for positive thinking instead of thinking negatively.

Whatever it is, what Brian does is still a decent living and if he is comfortable and alright with it then we ought to respect his wishes.

After all, we do not know what is going on behind why he chose to stick to this routine.

GUY SAYS HE HAS TWO DATE CHOICES, HE CHOOSE THE ONE WITH BIGGER NEI NEI POK

0

Have girl A and girl B in my life.

Girl A is totally my type. Perfectly shaped figure, fair skin, long hair. I suspect she’s a 32D. Knows how to dress up. Jokes flow freely when I’m with her. She’s quite fit even though she’s not an outdoor person and she’s very confident of herself. Only downside is that she has a princess temper at times but I think it’s just her way of power play as I know she’s falling for me and fear that I don’t feel the same about her.

Girl B is also a nice girl. Very simple minded, eager to please me and always agreeable. I think she’s mild tempered or she doesn’t feel comfortable voicing out. I find myself getting bored at times but it does feel nice to have someone like her and I know she’s a safe choice. Figure wise, she’s alright. She’s more of a homebody, reads a lot. Unlike me as I like to go out. She even called me every morning to make sure I’m not late to start the day. How awesome is this girl? I feel like I’m at home when I’m with her and most of my friends find her dependable too.

Before I get accused for cheating, which I’m not, I made up my mind and focus on only one of them.

YOLO. Bigger breasts rules, I chose girl A. Sorry not sorry.

22 Y.O V-BOY FEELS SAD & JEALOUS BECAUSE HE HAS NEVER KISSED A GIRL BEFORE

0

A netizen shared how he is a 22-year-old V and has never kissed a girl before, he added that he has only ever been on 1 date in his life and feels sad and jealous.

Here is the story:

“I am a 22-year-old guy. I have never had intercourse. Actually, I have never even kissed a girl before. I have only ever been on 1 date in my life.

And honestly, I feel really sad because of this. Whenever I think about this, I am always reminded that I am the guy that has never been worth kissing or dating.

This is not even because I am conservative. I am actually very liberal. I am up for anything. It isn’t even due to a lack of trying. I am on 4 dating apps and honestly, it’s exhausting.

I barely get any matches and most people I talk to don’t even proceed beyond a few messages. I usually just get ghosted. IDK what I am doing wrong.

My only romantic experience was a girlfriend I had for 6 months 5 years ago. She told me she was conservative and therefore wasn’t comfortable sleeping with me. But she cheated on me by sleeping with one of my friends while we were together. So clearly she was uncomfortable about me and not the activity itself.

Wants to feel loved

I have a lot of close female friends with whom I have very platonic relationships. But I really crave something more. I really crave intimacy. It’s not just intercourse but just to feel loved, feel cared for, to feel like someone in this world actually gives a shit about what happens to me.

I want some level of exclusivity in my relationships. I also want to have intercourse with someone I love and someone who loves me and to feel that connection.

I want something more than just friendship. When I see other people in happy relationships, it makes me sad, jealous, and envious.

I am very sad because of this and IDK what to do. I have been told to just focus on improving myself and that I will find a girlfriend when it is time but that is clearly bullshit advice because nothing good seems to be happening.

Am I really that unappealing? I feel so lost.”

STUDENT ASK: “WHY UR PARENTS COME AIRPORT FETCH U, THEY DONT OWN A CAR”

0

I don’t understand why some people can be so spoiled and nasty. I will be coming back home after an exchange semester. I am so excited to be seeing my parents and sister after so long. I was telling a fellow exchange student about them coming to the airport to fetch me home.

This fellow exchange student is from a very wealthy family, parents have a car each and she even has her own car. Unfortunately, she knows that I am not so well to do. She went like “your family doesn’t even own a car right, so what’s the point of all of them coming all the way down… *snobbish laughter* just to take mrt back with you?!”

I felt that those words pierced my heart. Even though I know she isn’t exactly little miss tactful but I never expect this sort of hurtful words to come out from someone’s mouth. Things already go her way all the time, the moment she’s born, will it kill her to just be a decent human being…

So why can’t she just be a decent human being and show a little bit of empathy and understanding?

I understand that the world isn’t perfect and that people are different, but it’s not too much to ask for people to be respectful and kind towards one another.

It’s not like I was asking for her hand-me-down car or anything. I just wanted to share my story with her and have her understand.

It’s not like she has to do anything – she could at least pretend to care and not be so spoiled and nasty.

It’s not too much to ask, right?

I guess I just don’t understand why some people can be so selfish and unkind.

It’s not like they don’t have the capacity to be kind and understanding, but they just choose not to be.

It’s really disheartening and I can’t help but feel disappointed in them.

I guess it’s just something that I’ll never understand.
