Is it weird that at 25 years old, I really, really don’t know what I want to do with my life, especially career wise?
I am 25 years old and I have no clue what I want to do with my life for the rest of my life. I’ve dabbled into so many industries, I have a ton of skills but I still have no clue what I want to do forever.
It used to worry me a lot but last year, I just told myself it doesn’t matter what I do so long as I’m never out of work, it’s not illegal and I’m as comfortable as I can possibly be.
I also promised myself I won’t take up or learn anything new this year till I celebrate my first year in my current industry.
I’d like to hear some experiences especially if it took you a while to finally find your path or whatever.

38 year old here. Don’t have a clue what I want to do with my life. Right now I just work a job earning a paycheck, that don’t count.
I’m late forties and still don’t know what I want to be when I grow up.
I absolutely knew what I wanted to do, but life got in the way and I didn’t get that career. I will say, most people don’t love their work. Find something you can do that will let you support your hobbies.
my boyfriend introduced me as his friend to a few woman at a convention. How do I address this without seeming insecure or fighting?
My(31f) boyfriend(29m) of 7 months and I went on our first trip this weekend to a convention. It’s been great and we’ve had a great time.
However twice today he introduced me to women friends as his friend. I let it go the first time because he was introducing a few people at once but the second time it started kind of confusing me and hurting my feelings.
Especially because last night we had already met this girl and he had been a little loopy and his first question to her was “are you here with anyone?”
With some pretty direct body language. I brushed that off to because I honestly am very secure and trusting with this relationship and he’s normally super considerate and respectful and didn’t want to make a big deal out of him being a little out of it.
Tonight we ran back into her and not only did he again introduce me as his friend, I I also got some super rude vibes from the girl.
She pretended we hadn’t met before and contradicted me a bunch over some pretty petty things like a chess mistake being a “blunder” not an “oopsy” and other really unnecessary things.
I excused myself eventually, giving my boyfriend a big loud forehead kiss on my way because well, I can be a little petty I guess.
But now I’m trying to figure out how to bring up to him how disrespectful and uncomfortable this came off to me.
A netizen shared how he took the last train and saw a drunk girl vomiting at the MRT station and wondered if he should help her.
Here is the story:”
I usually take the late train on friday nights. Just so happened that tonight I caught the last train at Dover MRT.
As I walk toward the end of the train I notice this girl enter at the same station as well. Something looked off about her. She seemed like she was in a daze.
As she got in, she just stood next to the door and leaned her head against the wall. Something was wrong, this girl was clearly drunk, wasted would probably the correct term.
As the train set off I noticed she had a little trouble maintaining her balance but did not sit although most seats around her were unoccupied.
As we approach Clementi MRT, her discomfort seemed even more obvious. The doors opened and she seemed to be even more uncomfortable.
Suddenly, she bolts out into the station, leans against the wall and merlion….
As I watched I wondered if I could help her. Should I even help her ? What could I have done? Did she even need any help? She clearly seemed to be having a tough time keeping her wits about herself. Could she even get home in that state? Could I call someone? Was she safe? Could I give her something to help? I did not have any water or tissue on me.
Even if I were to ask her if she was ok would she just ask me to mind my own business? What if she puked on me instead? Would she feel threaten and unsafe if a burly guy were to ask she was ok in that state?
Not sure what I could do but feeling a need to help to do something, I sat there contemplating and watching the scene unfold.
Before I could do anything, my decision was made for me as the train doors closed and the last train for the day left the station.
To the girl who got off the last train at Clementi from Dover. I genuinely hope that you are ok and you managed to get home safe and sound.
I’m really not sure what I could have done to help even with hindsight, but I genuinely hope you are ok.
What would you have done? Would you help? How would you help? Is this a legal nightmare waiting to happen? How would you feel in that condition if a burly male stranger approached you to offer help in that state? Would really appreciate some advise as I am feeling abit guilty.
Still feel I could do something to help but just not sure what…”
Editor’s note: No point asking one thousand and one questions online after you have already decided not to help her.
In a surprising development at a Canadian Pizza outlet situated at Kim Keat Road, a couple of food delivery riders are facing allegations of stealing pizzas, prompting the establishment to create a “Hall of Shame” notice board.
The notice board prominently features CCTV screenshots capturing the faces of the accused riders along with an accompanying note strongly condemning their actions.
Allegedly Stole Food
The scathing message on the notice board reads, “Got hands and legs, don’t know how to earn and buy food, need to resort to stealing? Shame on you! Dear riders, please help to share among your groups and provide their ebike numbers of all these errant delivery riders, thank you.”
Pinned beneath the note are screenshots extracted from the establishment’s surveillance footage, clearly depicting the accused riders purportedly in the act of stealing pizzas.
Additionally, their bicycle registration numbers are included in the display. This public shaming tactic is aimed not only at exposing the alleged thieves but also at seeking assistance from the broader delivery rider community.
The Hall of Shame
The outlet’s decision to create a “Hall of Shame” notice board underscores their commitment to deterring such behavior and maintaining the integrity of their services. By publicly identifying the accused riders, the establishment aims to send a clear message about the consequences of unethical actions within the food delivery industry.
Canadian Pizza has not released an official statement regarding the incident at the time of this report. However, the notice board’s content has sparked discussions within the local community about the challenges faced by businesses reliant on food delivery services and the measures they take to address incidents of theft.
The call for cooperation from other delivery riders to share information and provide ebike numbers indicates a collective effort to hold individuals accountable and prevent similar occurrences. This incident raises questions about the responsibilities and conduct of food delivery riders and how the industry can collectively address such challenges.
A woman shared how her husband wiped out his savings to buy a luxury car and told her that it was to reward himself, she then questions the need to make such a buy when they are trying for a baby.
Here is the story:
“I’m so angry that my husband bought a luxury car and wiped out his savings in the process, and it’s going to be a lot out of our pocket every month.
We still have our joint savings that he didn’t touch, but I just felt like he was too impulsive.
I asked him if he ever considered that he wouldn’t be able to pay off the rest, and he asked why I was such a pessimist.
He explained that it’s something to reward himself, to push himself to work harder, and it’s probably the one and only chance in a long while before he buys something for himself since we are trying for a baby.
To be fair to him, he is always very generous to his family and friends, and has the mindset that money can always be earned back.
But I can’t stomach the fact that he willingly made such a huge purchase just like that, and the thing is he only drives probably less than 5 times a month as he doesn’t drive to work.
I just feel like the money can be put to much better use like investments and other stuff???”
Editor’s note: This is going to be one of those “oh I wish I hadn’t done that” moments a few years down the road.
The Singapore government has opted to defer the review of political office holders’ salaries, originally scheduled for 2023, citing the presence of “other pressing issues,” according to Channel NewsAsia.
Minister-in-charge of the Public Service, Chan Chun Sing, revealed this decision in parliament on Tuesday, highlighting the uncertainties in the global geopolitical landscape and economic concerns as the primary factors influencing this postponement.
Rationale for Deferral
Minister Chan Chun Sing addressed parliamentary questions from members, including Progress Singapore Party’s Non-Constituency Member of Parliament (NCMP) Hazel Poa and MP Alex Yam (PAP-Marsiling-Yew Tee).
In response, he explained that the decision to defer the salary review stemmed from the heightened uncertainty in the global geopolitical situation, notably conflicts in the Middle East and Ukraine, along with ongoing geopolitical contestation.
Economic challenges, marked by significant uncertainties and downside risks globally, also factored into the government’s choice to prioritize immediate concerns over the salary review.
Minister Chan emphasized that despite the deferral, the government remains committed to reviewing the political salaries framework and benchmark. He assured that this would occur “in due course” to ensure that these salaries remain relevant and reflective of current conditions.
Historical Context
The last review of political salaries took place in 2018, with recommendations announced by the committee overseeing the process.
According to Minister Chan, the committee proposed reviewing political salaries approximately every five years or when necessary.
The government, following the 2018 review, decided not to make any changes to the political salary structure, deeming it valid amid economic uncertainties in the preceding years.
Previous Review Committee
The last political salaries review committee was appointed in 2017. Minister Chan did not disclose specific details about the current review committee or its members, but reiterated the government’s commitment to adhering to the suggested review timeline.
Currently, the benchmark for an entry-level minister’s salary is based on the median income of the top 1,000 Singapore citizen earners.

A Singaporean wife recently took to Facebook to voice her frustration due to her husband’s fast and furious manhood “that cannot hold the water in”. Sometimes he even finishes before he even starts
Here is the story:
My spouse has a lot of trouble controlling and holding himself….to the point that it’s hurting our sex life. He usually can’t stay more than 5 minutes, and he’ll come before even putting it in…like it’s a dampener.
haiz. I understand that he was a virgin for more than 30 years prior to marriage, that first-timer anxiety/excitement is normal, but shouldn’t this improve with time and practice? He’s still fumbling around, and before we know it, he’ll be here.
The session came to an end before it had really begun. He’s wonderful in every way, always puts me first, lovely romantic, but there’s this pressure now every time we go into the bedroom at night. I try not to excite him too much, to take things slowly…but
I’m not sure, but taking him to the doctor implies that he has a medical condition… I understand how this may damage a man’s self-esteem and dignity.
A netizen shared how she lost all her guy friends because their wives see as her a threat as she is “hot”.
Here is the story:
“All my guy friends’ wives see me as a threat. I know because they expressed their displeasure and these guys told me about it.
These wives do not like it when my friends hang out with me but are ok if they hang out with other girls in our clique.
I asked myself honestly if I did anything to make them uncomfortable but the answer is no. I even tried to befriend the wives but they still see me as a threat.
I have zero interest in all my guy friends so there’s no way my actions would have suggested otherwise.
Frankly speaking, I think I am just average looking though most people say I am hot.
Really upset because I have lost these friends due to their wives’ insecurity.”
I met a girl I liked a lot and we started a casual relationship, no strings attached. She doesn’t want to be with me she just wanted to get laid. But thanks for the genital herpes.
I guess you could call it friends with benefits. I was really into her and we started a casual relationship. No condoms involved. After a month of this she breaks down and tells me she has genital herpes but i shouldn’t have it because she didn’t sleep with me during an outbreak.
I wash my manhood in the shower the next day and I feel four painful bumps on it. Yeah, she gave me that crap. And never told me about it until the other day.
My mind is all over the place. I will never be able to have a normal life again. Because I had feelings for someone and we made love. I treated her so well. Even after all this she doesn’t want to be with me, she says she has too much trauma from past relationships.
She says she can cure me even though there is no cure. She says she will take care of me and cure me of the disease with some crap remedy.
My mind is balancing back and forth. maybe I am bitter she doesn’t want me for a partner. I am in pain. I loved my manhood. I had a really nice one. Now I’m ruined.
I have an appointment for an actual test but I know I have it, she admits she knows I have it. I mean it’s right there. What did I do to deserve this. I just got my life together and now this.
