A man who tried to find girls during his trip to Thailand, Pattaya tried using dating apps but all he got were “ladies”.

He could not accept the fact that they are men as his desperation is surpass his logic.

Here is the story:

I was in Pattaya with my friends last weekend and one of them has always had trouble finding a girlfriend.

Previously, he was addicted to pubs and discos with hostesses and always used the easy way out by attracting the wrong girl with money.

So during the trip, we played the jet ski while he relaxes on the beach.

When we came back to shore, he said that he was able to contact multiple girls on Facebook dating and Tinder claiming that they are interested in him and that one of them will be joining us for the drinking session tonight.

He showed us the photo and we immediately knew that they were not girls but men. One of them looks over 180cm tall.

We tried to be a good friend and tell him that the girls he is talking to are not actually girls but he refused to believe us and thinks that they are interested in him.

I told him: “Firstly, there are like a gorilla, secondly, you think you, Andy Lau, ah. Many girls come to you ah”

He refused to listen to us and insist that they are women as he had “heard their voice messages”. It kind of sounds like a man pretending to sing opera while talking.

So we when for a drink and one of the ladyboys did turn up. She looks like she just shaved as there were small studs coming out from her top lip.

It was so obvious and my friend was happy and showing off to us that he found a girl.

The happiness was short-lived until she started to talk, she sounded more man than man more than me.

He tried to be polite and said he was drunk and went back to the hotel secretly.

Well, since the person he jio is already here we drank together.

When we got back to the hotel, he was hugging his pillows and his eyes were in tears.

For context, he is in his 30s.

my job is horrific. I work in an extremely toxic environment with extremely toxic people. I work 12-16 hour shifts as essential personnel, see no sunlight, and chained to my desk. We get extremely passive aggressive emails from our leadership encouraging us to quit if we disagree with their choices (promoting people to leadership positions with no experience or time on, offering people special positions without opening to everyone, etc). Everyone but my immediate team (of 5 of us, 3 of which who have been here 5+ years) got $1k raises; we received nothing.

In my 5 years here, I have only seen 1 pay raise of 2% when I became a trainer after 4years. We just got a 15% pay cut since they deemed we are out of covid. I already made no money and can barely afford bread or a simple meal.

I have been here with this bs for 5 years. I am drained physically, mentally, and emotionally. I have been trying to get out for years now, but covid threw a wrench in that.

I was offered a position for life-changing money on a phenomenal team (they all have been so lovely to work with) with a world-renowned company. I cannot begin to express how eager I am to leave this workplace for them. I’d give 1 hour’s notice for quitting if I could today.

My offer is contingent on my background stuff crossing over to them correctly. My PM said it would realistically take 5-7 business days if he had to guess. Today is day 7. I have heard nothing yet.

I am desperate to get the ball rolling and on my way out of hell. I have had a breakdown every day of week. It’s destroying me, it’s destroying my relationship.

How do I remain patient? How do I eagerly follow up asking for a timeline so I know how much longer I have to suffer for? There’s no light at the end right now and I need something to hold on to.

Here are what netizens think

• Definitely follow up to see the status of your application. I’d also put applications to other jobs just to keep your mind busy. I was in a situation exactly like yours only I couldn’t wait any longer. I left with no job prospects, and honestly couldn’t be happier with my decision.

• Stay strong, keep the passive aggressive emails to a minimum, and try not to cuss anyone out! Also if you can, fwd those micro managing damning emails that make you want to flip your desk and burn the place to the ground to your personal email. I like to read these every now and again to re-affirm my choices. Or some could even be useful in a lawsuit one day!

• Hang in there, and applying for other jobs isn’t a bad idea. When it comes to jobs, your backups should have backups. Recruiters have people drop out mid-process all the time. They’re used to it. So keep looking pretty much until you start your new job.

A netizen shared a story about how he spent more than $2,000 on several spelled items from a black magic practitioner, as well as to cast a spell on him to help him strike 4D.

Here is what he said

“To start off with, I have always been a firm believer in the supernatural, witchcraft, black magic and whatnot.

I remember years ago I prayed to my late grandmother and did the thing where you write numbers 0-9 on pieces of paper, fold them and shake them inside a can until 4 number drop out.

I went and bought those 4 numbers and won $60, and that was when my belief and addiction began.

I spent upwards of $2,000 on several spells from a local black magic practitioner who claimed that she had a 80% track record.

I bought an abacus ring which she had spelled to “draw in the riches”, and she also casted a spell on me to boost my windfall luck.

I then spent every week religiously going to Singapore Pools to buy 4D, each time betting about $10, hoping that I would finally win money.

But more than half a year have passed and I still haven’t struck anything.

The total money that I have spent, including my bets, amounted to more than $2.5k already. But the witch told me that these kind of things take time.

So I’m keeping the faith, and hopefully my faith will pay off soon.”

Editor’s note: Should’ve come and find me mah, what spell you want? I sell you my limited edition magic rubber band for $1k. EXPECTO PATRONUM.

A netizen shared a story about how he went to Johor with his friends for a short getaway and bought some contraband cigarettes there for about RM5.

However, the cigarettes tasted a little bit weird and when he opened up the cigarette, he found dead ants inside.

Here is what he said

“I went to JB with my friends late one night a few weeks ago to have supper and also to stay over at a relative’s house there before going shopping the next day.

A little background, all of us were smokers, and one of the reasons we went to JB was to smoke cheaper cigarettes.

The cigarettes in JB are relatively much cheaper than Singapore, and they are around the RM13 to RM17 price range. You divide by the exchange rate and it’s so much cheaper.

So after eating supper, we drove around to look see look see and we saw a man peddling cigarettes near an ulu alley beside the road.

We had no idea where we were because we were anyhow driving and the road signs were not very visible because the street lights were not that bright.

So my friend stopped his car and rolled down his window, and asked the man how much was he selling each carton for.

The man told us one carton for RM50, and we were so happy because that amounts to about RM5 per pack, which is like $1.50 in SGD.

So we bought a carton and drove off, before lighting up the cigarettes inside the car.

Oh ya the cigarettes were apparently “Marlboro”, or so that’s what was printed on the cigarette box ah, so Marlboro cannot go wrong right?

My first impression when smoking the cigarette was that it tasted very weird, and the smoke was very very rough on my lungs.

Like you know when you are burning joss paper and you one shot throw too many papers into the bin to burn, and the ensuing smoke kinda chokes you?

It felt like that, and the taste was very bitter and disgusting. And there was also some sparkling sounds from the cigarette when we smoked it, and we got worried that there was something inside that would explode or what.

So I threw away the lit cigarette and took out a new cigarette from the pack, and opened it up, and to my horror, I found a bunch of what appears to be dead ants inside, with the legs and all.

The ants appeared to be ground up with some of the ants’ bodies missing the head, missing the legs, missing the backside all.

I immediately threw the whole pack away and told my friend to stop the car because I had to vomit, it was so disgusting.

In the end we all threw the whole carton away and lamented the waste of RM50, that’s what you get for being super cheapskates.

Never buying contraband cigarettes from JB anymore, lesson learned.”

Editor’s note: You paid RM50 to smoke dead ants hahahaha

I am a recent grad and have been working for a big company for about a year in an office job. Feeling really mentally stressed and burnt out. I have been wanting to change some job which I am overqualified for, like a diploma level job or a blue collar job like plumber or carpenter.

I feel that companies in sg have overly high demands on employees in degree white collar jobs. We usually have to multitask and take on a wide jobscope. On top of that, we still have CCAs like organising meetings and events, writing minutes, being in some commitee etc which everyone have to do on top of their already packed jobscope. Because of all these demands, I often have to work overtime or do extra work at home to clear my load. I have known from my many friends that this is very common across many different companies and industries.

I envy those in non-degree jobs such in admin or support roles or blue collar ones who only need to focus on one jobscope and their work is quite routine. They can usually leave on time, don’t have to bring work home and don’t need to do much CCAs. If I join these jobs, I surely will need to take a big paycut but hey, life isn’t just all about work right? Many of these people work these jobs their whole life and are able to support a family, buy a house etc.

Here are what netizens think:

• Changi Aviation industry have a lot of mid to blue collar job. Comfortable environment too. Pay range from 2k to 4k plus. Technology or white collar 3k to 5k range.

• It’s ultimately down to whether u’re ok with it… And u REALLY gotta be ok with it cos it could be a path of no return…U take that path, u find the pay too low, u’re gonna face challenges if u wanna transition back to a grad position cos employers will wonder why the heck u took a paycut to do a brain-dead job in the first place. It would be time wasted.Not all employers will be willing to let u “try”. And after doing “relaxed” jobs for awhile, u’ll find it even harder to adjust back to a demanding, high-pressure environment.Not to mention that u would have lost years of experience, and you would be starting in the same level as fresh grads younger than u and more hungry than u.

• Be a tutor, stress free work.

I am a dentistry student and I’ve always been a little more particular about dental hygiene. I have been dating a really sweet girl K for about 3 months.

She has a great personality and a cute face, but there is just one thing that really bothers me…

K is quite an affectionate person and likes to kiss often. However, she has no qualms about leaning in for a smooch right after devouring a huge mala hotpot or inhaling a load of garlic bread.

It’s especially bad when she exhales right into my mouth mid-kiss. I can smell the curry on her breath and taste the remnants of her dinner on her tongue… yuck.

I’ve tried to politely wiggle my way out of a kiss in such situations, but sometimes she doesn’t get the hint.

This has been such a turn off for me that I think I’m slightly emotionally traumatised now and find myself less attracted to K, which is a shame.

I know K is a sensitive girl who sometimes has low self-esteem and I don’t want to embarrass her or hurt her feelings. Please help me think of a way to let K know as politely and gently as possible that I don’t want to kiss unless we have both brushed our teeth and flossed, preferably with some mouthwash..

So my husband Caleb (31) is a prankster. He jokes about everything and pulls pranks of all types all the time. I hate them all and I made it clear to him that I will not tolerate any prank or joke no matter what his justification is. He’s always like “chill, it’s just a joke” or “that’s hella funny you should be laughing instead of yelling” and stuff like that.

Yesterday, We were going out to grab some stuff. He said he “was in the mood” to joke around today (then) and when I attempted to get in the car he began driving back and forth while laughing. I told him I’d go back inside if he did it again and he stopped.

We arrived to the location and he kept locking the door and then unlocking it preventing me to get out. I told him to stop it and he said “okay I’m sorry”. We got into the store and he kept returning the items I put inside the cart til I caught him in act and told him to stop. He stopped

After we got done we stood behind a long line to pay. I stand and he stands beside me laughing and mumbling stuff. I then suddenly feel something on my head. I reach out and find that he stuck a candy that he was eating on it which freaked me out I started screaming at him while everyone else watched.

He looked red in the face as I berated him for what he’s done and kept trying to get me to quiet down, repeatedly saying people were watching us. there was an officer nearby and he noticed the commotion and asked if there was something wrong. Caleb looked stunned but I told him he wanted to make a scene he just got one. Then I left him with the stuff and walked out.

Upon his return he started arguing with me saying I shouldn’t have screamed like a lunatic and drafting public’s attention and making a scene over a prank. He said this was not acceptable to him and it shouldn’t be to me as well since we have a reputation and what I did at the store made us both look bad. I shut the door and remained in the room til he went outside.

he still thinks I overreacted and embarrassed both of us by screaming.

Three weeks after our divorce was finalized, my ex-husband got remarried

My ex-husband and I were married for 10 years. We have three kids together.

Seven months ago he told me he wanted a divorce and left. Just like that. He let me have whatever I wanted in the divorce, I don’t think he wanted any holdups and six months later it was official.

That entire time he had been living by himself, claiming he wasn’t seeing anyone and there wasn’t another woman who was a reason for the divorce.

Now it’s exactly three weeks after our divorce was finalized he post pictures of him and his new wife and announces they’re off on their honeymoon.

He had told me two weeks ago he wouldn’t be available to take the kids for this time but didn’t tell me why. I feel blindsided and like a moron.

My wife puts zero effort into my birthday, Christmas or our anniversary but expects me to go all out for hers.

I’m turning 39 on Sunday. My love language is gift giving and I love giving people I love gifts of all sizes. I truly get joy from doing it.

But the flip side is that I kinda build up my birthday, Christmas and our anniversary in my mind. It’s not just a lust for stuff, as experiences are amazing to me.

It just means a lot when someone puts in even a fraction of the thought but I do when it comes to the gift. But since the beginning of our relationship and the nearly 6 years we’ve been married, my wife is put in next to zero effort when it comes to giving me any kind of gift.

Almost every time I’m told that “it just kind of snuck up on me and I had to find something last minute“. While I can understand that random gift-giving is not her love language, those three dates don’t move. They are the same every year and I don’t understand how they can just “sneak up on you“.

But when it comes to giving her gifts on those days she makes it very clear the expectation is that lots of thought and sometimes money goes into it. And I love giving her gifts. Big, small, expensive or free. When something pops into my mind of something I can get her, it brings me so much joy to get it and see her face.

It just hurts that I feel she doesn’t care how it makes me feel to be an after thought. Because she is not that way with her brothers her parents or her cousins. With them, she goes all out. Plans parties, really maps out and plans extremely thoughtful gifts. It just doesn’t seem that she thinks I warrant the same.

I’m sure people will think that I’m whining or beating greedy. And I can understand how it might look like that. But I don’t care if she got me something from the dollar store or even found on the side of the road.

It’s much more about the fact that little to no thought goes into things and it seems like getting me anything is more of a chore than a joyful experience. And it really, really hurts.

My husband’s ExWife sent me a video of them getting intimate the day before our wedding?

She and him were married for 4 years. He ended it saying she was impossible to live with but she made claims about him being violent to her which never been proven.

She sent me a video of themdoing it literally the day before my wedding. she did it using social media. It was….unexpected and for some reason made me feel unwell and uneasy.

It certainly affected me mentally because everyone noticed how I looked and behaved at the time. My husband found out after the wedding and he swore he had no idea his ex was still keeping this stuff because he made sure everything they shared was deleted/wipped.

He was as shaken as me but told me to just let it go and not let it take anymore of our time together but I just can’t get it off my mind, especially when I’m intimate with him.

It feels off, really off and I hate that this is how it feels when it’s supposed to be our best time together.

I feel like his ex’s anger and resentment ruined the best time of my life for me and my husband. I don’t even get why she would do such thing and what she would gain.

I could never understand.
