His success story has prompted him to share valuable insights and tips on selling fashion products online, shedding light on the steps that led to his triumphant journey.

Creating a strong brand identity was crucial to Bryan’s success. To accomplish this, he utilized innovative tools like ChatGPT for brand name ideas and Canva for logo design. These resources enabled him to develop a compelling brand presence that resonated with his target audience.

Bryan further leveraged the power of e-commerce platforms, specifically Shopify, to establish his online store. This allowed him to showcase his products and provide a seamless shopping experience to customers.

31 Y.O MAN KENA TASERED AFTER ATTACKING POLICE OFFICER WITH METAL BAR @ BUKIT PANJANG

In a recent incident in Bukit Panjang, a 31-year-old man was tasered before being arrested after allegedly assaulting an auxiliary police officer with a metal bar in Bukit Panjang. The incident occurred during the officer’s duty of guiding traffic due to roadworks in the area.

On Tuesday (13 June) at about 11:12 pm near Jelapang Road, the police received a distress call reporting the assault on the auxiliary police officer. The affected officer was reportedly guiding traffic in the vicinity at the time because of the ongoing roadworks.

According to the police, the assailant brandished a metal bar and disregarded instructions to cease his aggressive behavior. Despite multiple verbal warnings, the man persisted in advancing towards the officers, prompting one officer to discharge a round of Taser in order to disarm him and prevent harm to others involved.

A 50-second video capturing the incident has circulated on social media platforms. The footage shows the man pointing an object at two police officers, with one officer taking aim in response.

The audio reveals a verbal exchange between the officers and the man, who continues to walk slowly towards a flight of stairs leading to the walkway where they are located.

As the man ascends the stairs, shouts of “Taser” can be heard at various points in the video. Subsequently, a loud noise is heard, followed by the man falling backwards down the stairs.

Additional individuals, including an auxiliary police officer, rush to the scene to assist in subduing the man. Both the injured auxiliary police officer and the arrested man were conscious when taken to the hospital for medical evaluation.

During the arrest, the police seized the metal bar used in the assault.

Authorities are currently conducting investigations into the incident to gather further details and ascertain the motives behind the assault.

The man faces charges related to voluntarily causing hurt with a dangerous weapon, using criminal force to obstruct a public servant from performing their duties, and suspected drug-related offenses.

MAN BOUGHT INSURANCE FROM SCAM WEBSITE CAUSE GREEDY

0

A man, who is so motivated by greed that he would do anything to be rich. He was always told that if you are not born into it then you have to work for your money and this made him feel better about his life.

So he tried different jobs but never got any promotions or raises. One day, while at work, someone showed him an ad for an insurance company that promised big payouts and how all he had to do was take out a policy and wait until the end of his life before collecting on it–he did not even need to make payments!

The idea sounded too good for him to resist; what could go wrong? All he needed was $100 plus some information from himself.

The man said:

“I was looking at my phone when I saw a commercial for insurance. It had a very rich-looking guy saying that saying, “I bought insurance and became rich” So I clicked on it and found out about their site. I thought to myself, “why not?” so I went on the website to see what they offered. “

“The first thing that popped up was a video of a woman with her voice distorted talking about all the things she got from being an insured person– this car, new wardrobe, expensive vacations…all while there were images of some questionable items in between her words. She talked about how she could have been broke if things didn’t go well for her but now she’s living large because of the insurance she has.”

The website then prompted me to pay for 3 insurance policies

  • a savings insurance
  • an investment insurance
  • a life insurance

I was interested but it stated to pay for an admin fee of US$100 for some processing. I never have been rich and I wanted to give it a chance.

The next thing I know the website took payments from me and I could no longer access the website.

Beware

No doubt about it is a scam, scammers tries all kinds of method to earn from you.

We’ve covered some of the most common scams that people fall for. Scammers are constantly coming up with new schemes, so it’s important to stay alert and not get complacent.

JOBLESS SIAM BU NEED LOAN CANNOT “LONG U NONG TIME”

0

A man shared a story of a siam bu that wants a loan. The man said he used contacted by a siam bu who he met ages ago from a siam diu.

Here is the story:

After the closure of all these places known as men’s heaven, one can only wonder what they are doing now. Most said that most of the siam bu has gone back home but there are still many in Singapore.

Recently a girl contacted me and said that she is in need of help, she said that after all the siam dius close down she had no choice but to find odd jobs here and there in Singapore when I asked why she did not go back, she said that the situation back in Thailand is worse and if she go back she will be really poor and no money to eat.

Then I asked her if she got to find any job in pubs she said that it is too risky as the pubs are often raided and she will be sent back to Thailand if she was ever caught.

She started to say that she took a loan from some shady people to survive and the only shady people I can think of is loansharks. She said that she took a loan of $3,000 in order to survive in Singapore but the loansharks are chasing her for money.

She started to ask me if I can give her a loan to help payback the loansharks. I told her that it is not possible unless she “Love me nong time”. She told me to stop making fun of her and said that she is serious and she is afraid that this loan she took might end up getting her send back.

She later said that If I can help her she will repay me in ways beyond my imagination. Her exact words were “If you help me, I make sure you happy tonight”.

I was so tempted and decided to meet her, but as usual siam bu always late one. So I got sick of waiting and went off, she spam called me and said that she is already there. I told her I waited her more than 30mins and she is not there.

I told her the same amount of money i can go to some special places to get my own happy time without lending someone so much money. Then I asked her how is she going to return me the money when she don’t have a proper job.

She started temp me and said that she will make me a happy man for a week.

This offer sounds a bit too good to be true? What should I do? I think Geylang a better choice.

DAD BRINGS NEW WOMAN HOME , SON WANT TO MESS THEM UP

0

Im terrible at writing these so forgive me. But yeah my dad just brought home some woman and I can hear them at it.

The lady he’s with is super nice and doesn’t deserve that. I kinda figured a while back that he’s just using her as a free ticket out of living less than lavishly as she’s got good money and it’s probably his and her last ticket at a ’till death’ relationship as they are hitting their 60’s.

I’m definitely gonna confront him in the morning and get a lil more info on the situation.

Even if that means he might kick me out or completely ruin our already shitty relationship. Part of me wants to just call his lady tomorrow and let her know but I know how bad that can turn out. Basically, I’m wondering if I shouldn’t say anything at all and let everything go and just deal with my own image of the man, even if that means life will end up being a bit more difficult for me in the future. No one I can talk to is up at the moment and I don’t want to bring family into this. I mean, I can’t even remember the last time I saw him with someone who wasn’t a casual fling. And I’m not trying to be judgmental or anything, I just don’t want him or her to get too attached if it’s just some quick cash grab. It’s just that he’s always been so independent and now, he’s just living off of some woman’s money.

I’m not sure if it’s a good thing or not. I mean, my dad’s never been a rich man, but he’s always been able to take care of himself. Now, he’s just using someone else’s money and it’s a little hard to watch. I mean, if this woman is truly nice and all, then that’s great. I’m just worried that she’ll fall for him harder than he’ll fall for her and that’s just not right.

Part of me feels like I should just let it be and accept it as I don’t want to be a part of my dad’s drama. But, then again, I also feel like I should reach out to her and just let her know that I’m aware of the situation and that it’s not going to be anything serious. I just want her to be aware of what my dad is doing.

Maybe that could help her make a better decision. I don’t know. It’s a tough situation. On one hand, I don’t want to interfere in my dad’s life and on the other, I don’t want her to get hurt. But, at the same time, I don’t want to be the one to create drama in our already strained relationship.

I guess I’ll just have to wait until morning and see how things go. Maybe I’ll talk to him then and try to get a better understanding of what’s going on. I’m not sure if that’s going to work, but it’s worth a try. It’s just really tough to watch someone you love and care about make bad decisions. I just hope that I can be there to help him and her out if they need it.

FATHER DONT LET CHEATING WIFE TALK TO HIS SON ON HIS BIRTHDAY

0

At the end of April 2021 I found out my wife of almost 11 years had been having an affair with a man that she works with. She told me she didn’t know why she had done it as she “wasn’t attracted to him and didn’t have feelings for him at all” she just did it for the attention.

I forgave her almost immediately as I truly felt she was the love of my life and my soul mate. Two weeks after I found out about the affair she admitted to me that she had been falling out of love with me for a few months but didn’t know why and didn’t think there was anything that could be done to bring her feelings for me back so she asked for a divorce.

Over the next few months I lost 30 lbs due to anxiety and depression and lack of sleep. My wife started dating the man she cheated on me with 🙄 and promptly informed our 4 young kids about her relationship.

I asked her not to talk about her boyfriend in front of our kids yet since I didn’t feel it was appropriate this early into our divorce process and it was clear than my 10 & 11 year old children were uncomfortable with the situation. My wife even tried to force our kids to FaceTime with her new boyfriend a month ago and it made my oldest son so uncomfortable that he hid under his bed sheets. I asked her to not expose the kids to him anymore for at least 4-6 months and that she can enjoy her time with him but to leave the kids out of it.

This week was our youngest sons 6th birthday and I had reluctantly asked if she wanted to get together as a family to celebrate as it was my custodial night with the kids and I wanted to be nice. We had agreed to meet up and to keep things civil. The night before the party my wife FaceTimed my kids while she was at her new boyfriends house which made me sick to my stomach and made my kids visibly uncomfortable so after the call I texted her and told her I didn’t think it was a good idea to get together for the party anymore because of how anxious I knew I would be around her and I didn’t want to say or do anything in front of our kids that I might regret. She was very upset about this because she wanted to be able to see our son on his birthday to which I responded by telling her “divorce sucks, and if you wanted to see and speak to our kids everyday that’s she shouldn’t have cheated and asked to end the marriage” I also informed her that I do not want her calling our kids on their days with me anymore as it’s my court appointed time and since my sons birthday fell on my night this meant that I didn’t want her to call him.

I said if our son asked to call her I would let him but he never did .She tried to get her attorney involved but he told her there’s really nothing legally wrong with my request and not much he could do. Needless to say she didn’t get to talk to him or see him on his birthday because of her actions. Am I the asshole in this situation?

WEB DESIGN GIRL MEETS RICH BOSS, TRANSFORMS INTO “golden spade”

A female web designer becomes a gold digger after meeting someone very rich. It was during a first date, and she couldn’t help it she blurted out “Oh my God! This is so exciting!” to make it sound like she is enjoying herself in other words angkat.

Here is the story:

Recently I went to a web design company to make a website for my new venture, the person that I was contacting was both a web designer and sales. Which made me feel that this person would know what kind of person could deliver what I want.

The web designer cum sales was a lady dressed like she is going to work in a nightclub. We started a casual chat and she found out that I stay in a bungalow.

The lady’s attitude immediately changed, she started to be super nice to me and feel like a golden spade is growing out of her ***.

After gathering the requirements for the web design she started to ask me if we could meet other times also of work.

This is the time I realised the golden spade has become a 2 storeys high building.

I rejected her and told her maybe after the project was completed, Normally web designs take at least a few months but within two weeks she called me and said that the web design is completed.

After the handover meeting of the project, she tried to ask me out again. So I decided accept her invite. We went for a drink nearby and she started to seduce me by rubbing her legs to mine.

It was obvious at that time because of three points

  • I not handsome
  • I talk also not funny one
  • I got money

I decided to leave halfway during the drinking and told her something urgent happened at home. I asked if she is drunk and she said no. Immediately I told her that “Since you are not drunk, I have settled the bill. See you soon”. I left immediately before she has a chance to respond.

BF NOT HAPPY GF EARN MORE ACCUSES HER OF CHEATING

Tim and I met in an English literature class our junior year of college, and we’ve been together the ten years since. While he ended up going into IT, I stayed in the arts track and ended up doing non-profit work after college when I realized I didn’t actually want to be a schoolteacher. Just to say that we always assumed he’d out-earn me by a considerable margin, though when he made more I always insisted we split things evenly to avoid potential resentment down the road.

I’ve had sort of a non-linear career path, but ended up switching to the corporate world. To make a long story short, my arts degree and time doing non-profit work gave me a lot of skills that enable me to really excel professionally in some more niche areas. I recently started a new job as a consultant, making way more than I’d ever anticipated. When I got the offer, I told Tim that the pay was “amazing”, but he didn’t ask about the actual amount and I didn’t want to be braggy about it, especially since I was fairly sure it was above his current income.

Well we just put in an application for a new place, and in the process of having to submit our payslips it’s become obvious that I make roughly 30% more than he does now. I expected him to think that was cool, since he’s a feminist and has always been super supportive of my career. But instead he’s started to make increasingly harsh jabs about how I “cheated the system” to get where I am, that no English lit major makes more than a cyber security professional without cheating somehow.

His major point is that I got my first job out of nepotism, which set me up to “trample” more qualified people who didn’t have the same advantages. It’s true that I got my first post-college job after being referred by a sorority sister, but it was for non-profit work making 22k/yr, not exactly at somebody’s daddy’s firm. He also points out that at my first corporate job, I snagged a big promotion after volunteering to take on starting up the company’s diversity/equity/inclusion program, and I’ll admit that were I a man, it’s highly unlikely I would have been able to be the face of the eventually high-profile diversity program. Tim also notes that I was awarded a small college scholarship for being a “promising female writer”, when no such scholarship existed for males.

But all that said…I still don’t feel like I cheated the system, and it makes me angry to listen to him “joke” about it, especially since I grew up blue-collar and worked fulltime while going to school fulltime to afford my degree. I reached a breaking point yesterday when he made a crack about how the new/first woman on his team is an obvious diversity hire. I told him that his jokes about women cheating the system to get ahead aren’t funny or “guy-talk ribbing” as he says, they make him sound like an insecure little boy. He told me I was being a naïve Karen and we haven’t really talked since

MAN SAID HIS SINGLE, SLEPT WITH HIM & FOUND OUT HE HAS A PREGNANT WIFE

In June, I met a guy we’ll call Chris on Tinder. We met up for dinner and had a great time and got to know each other. He told me he was recently divorced and divulged that the reason was that his wife wanted kids and he didn’t. This was great because I mention being childfree in my profile (I’m 31 so this comes up a lot).

We met up again and ended up seeing each other a couple of times a week and sleeping together for a little over a month before he showed up in my Facebook ‘People You May Know’ and he was very clearly married with a kid and wife. I confronted Chris (and of course ended things) and he begged me not to tell his wife before he could because she’s PREGNANT and he wants to be the one to tell her. I said I’d give him a week.

Within the week, his wife messaged me on Facebook and said he told her what happened, and I gave her the full story. I told her I was sorry he’d betrayed her like this and fooled me, and that I of course never would have started dating a married man. As we were winding down the conversation, she then told me she wanted me to apologize for sleeping with her husband and that she needed that for closure.

For me, this was a record scratch moment. I did nothing wrong here. I had NO IDEA this man was married, let alone had a kid and one on the way. When I found out I confronted him immedaitely, broke up with him immediately, and forced his hand in telling his wife. There is nothing on my conscience here. I was lied to, too. I am not going to apologize because I feel like it’s disrespectful to me to try to make me accept blame.

AITA for not being willing to apologize? I don’t know this woman, and her feelings here don’t have more value than mine do to me. I don’t want to debase myself with the kind of apology she wants, and she’s furious and spamming me with messages because I’m ‘unrepentant.’

GIRL SAYS SHE “SERVICES” MEN TO PAY FOR HER DEGREE

We hear these stories from time to time and it can be a bit disturbing, about students who are taking degrees working as hostesses or something “even more”.

Here is the story:

I’m not proud to say this so I will share this story anonymously. I needed some advice as I feel kind of wrong doing this.

I managed to pay for my $20,000+ degree in 2 instalments. My classmates knew that I do not come from a well to do family and they wondered how did I manage to pay for my degree in two instalments.

I often lie to them and tell them that I saved up alot of my earnings but when I go out with them… The way I spend money sometimes gave it away.

The truth is… it started out as an innocent waitressing job and I eventually became a hostess as the money was good. But I got greedy and tired from working as a hostess as I’m often drunk.

Studying for a degree is not easy and there are always endless assignments to submit and the deadline is always tight. While drinking with some customers, I told a few of them of my situation and some of them advised me to stop working as a hostess while some others told me to “tahan”

One of the customers actually offered me a deal, he said that I can quit my job and focus on my degree. I asked him “then how would I pay for my degree?”

He said that the deal was to give me a $2,000 allowance a month to be his “girlfriend”. I asked if he is asking me to be his “SugarB”. He said yes… So I asked what I needed to do, he said

“everything a girlfriend does with her boyfriend”

I was tempted but I rejected him.

Degree soon became a lesser concern

Months went by and the stress from studying was getting higher and higher, I met the same guy at the pub again and somehow this time he convinced me. I feel like a soulless doll when he was using me but the money was good.

After 2 months, I felt that I can earn much more than that and I started to do freelance and eventually MIA from that customer.

Freelancing was earning me even more, within a few months I could not only pay up my degree’s fee but also buy good things for myself. I started to think… even with a degree, I will not come close to earning this kind of money until I’m old.

By the time I’m old, I don’t have the energy to have fun anymore. Now I’m thinking should I finish my degree or just do freelance till I can afford my own property. I am really confused, a bit of me is feeling disgusted with myself. But I can’t say no to money.
