Smuggling gold into India is far more common than one can imagine. As gold is a hardly demanded material in India it is normally more expensive and many would often try to bring gold from foreign countries to “save cost”.

According to the Time of India, the man was arrested after trying to smuggle the gold at New Delhi.

Over 604 grams of gold were found on the man which is worth almost S$40,000, the gold was hidden under his wig and stuffed into his rectum.

The Delhi Customs Office said:

“A gold smuggling case booked on a passenger from Abu Dhabi at IGI Airport T3; approx 630.45g of gold worth Rs 30.55 lakhs was concealed inside his wig & rectum. Accused arrested; further probe underway”.

A video of the gold getting removed from the man’s head was taken by the officials and posted online.

Just days ago, another man was caught at India, Jaipur Airport for smuggling almost 1 kg of gold which was hidden inside his bum.

My family can see/sense ghosts, I didn’t believe them until it happened to me.

Growing up my family was able to sense things that were not there of course I didn’t believe them since I was the kind of person who would say “seeing is believing”.

Be careful what you wish for, because that’s exactly what happened to me. My siblings can see and sense things, while my mom only sense them. I never had any of that, so I would just call them crazy or insane.

Well we moved into this nice home, and already my sister hated it, I tried to get her to tell me but she told me I would just laugh at her face and call her names.

A few months later she warned me, told me the spirit hated me, would follow me to school, would watch over me sleeping, would get angry over little things, and hated how I was happy all the time.

I didn’t listen to my sister because I thought my sister was just trying to get me scared. But one day I was getting ready for school, I went to get something until I felt a shove, the hands were small like 8 years old, but nobody was there, it went through me causing me to almost fall down.

And when she went through me I felt jealousy, sadness, and anger all at once, like I wanted to kill someone. Crazy how it was only for a few seconds and I felt like a horrible person, I felt so disgusted and violated.

I don’t really like violence that much I cringe at seeing or hearing broken bones, if someone were skateboarding I would look away because I was scared if they were to fall and hurt themselves I would see blood.

but whatever came through me wanted me to kill my family. I cried for so long it gave me a panic attack, I called my sister who was upstairs at the time and I told her, she was of course was also scared.

I love them with all my heart I could never see myself hurting them, they’re all I got. I ended up getting a cross for protection, we went to church to get it blessed by a priest because my family believed it’ll prevent me from ever being possessed.

I’m now 20 years old and that happened to me five years ago, I can now see their faces and sense what they feel.

My hubby made a big mistake in investment, due to WFH his friend introduced him to forex copy trade and he started investing 3000 USD.

After few months he wanted to try on his own so he invested 1000 USD, everything was lost and he invested 500 USD few times and all lost and he asked me to give 10K USD so that he can make profit, so I gave him and it was also lost.

After which he borrowed 36k SGD from the bank and invested, this time I was unaware that he’d borrowed money from the bank, somehow I found out by myself so I warned him to stop this but he believed he will make profit but due to market fluctuations his borrowed money was about to finish in forex so to save the loss he needs to top up.

We had our daughters saving saved for more than 10 years in her child account and that was linked to his account, he promised he won’t touch this account but he had no choice as he needs to save his money in forex he took 82K SGD from our savings and topped up his forex without my knowledge.

Within one month all the money in his forex is lost. And now we have zero in savings.

I am lost as I don’t know where to start now, please advise me how do I proceed further in my life. How to make my hubby stop this forex trading and concentrate on making money by doing some part time job apart from his job.

I have two daughters who are still in primary school. My parents are also dependent on us. Please help me by providing some advice.

Here are what netizens think:

• Tell him that numbers don’t lie, if he can even make one cent he won’t have lost over 100k today. Clearly this is not for him. Your husband seems to have a gambling problem more than a poor investment streak. Think he wants to get rich quick. Seek counselling.

• I guess when we lost money, we feel the pinch and desperately want to win back our capital at least.Unfortunately most of the time we will only end up losing more.You really need to tell your husband to let it go before he lose more than money. It could be marriage, you and the children or even his life. (Maybe I think too far ahead.) I assume he has a high paying job to be able to have this much savings? If so, money can still earn back. Let this be an expensive lesson and stay far away from forex.I sure hope he won’t resort to borrowing from illegal moneylenders?
• Cut losses as forex is highly leveraged. Take control of the family finances e.g. redirect hubby salary to your account/joint account, budgeting, even giving allowance to the hubby. Basically to limit his spending. Discuss with him on the way moving forward.

My wife and I (28m and 26f) have been married for over two years now. We both have promising careers but neither of us are making a ton of money yet; we’ve been largely living paycheck to paycheck since we got together.

We’ve been sleeping on a way too old mattress and box spring since we got married that she inherited from some family member, and we’ve both been complaining about it. My side in particular has had a bad spring which was constantly digging into my side or lower back. We’ve both been researching mattresses and have agreed that we need to buy something new and better as soon as we are able.

So, anyway, a couple of weeks ago I went back home to attend my cousin’s wedding. My wife wasn’t able to go because she couldn’t get off work. When I got home my wife told me to go look in the bedroom. When I went I saw a new mattress on top of a new adjustable frame. It was wrapped in a red ribbon. My wife followed me in and said “Ta da!” When I asked her what was going on she told me that she had been slowly socking away money from her paychecks to buy a new bed, and that she had gone ahead and bought a nice, new, hybrid mattress with an adjustable frame so that we could watch TV in bed together. She seemed really excited about it.

I, however, wasn’t happy. I told her that a mattress was a major purpose and that we should have decided it together to make sure that it was something that we both liked. She said that she was really disappointed in my response and that she’d wanted to surprise me by saving up her own money and buying something nice that we needed, and that she’d thought I’d be happy. She said that surely the new bed was better than the old and that I should just be grateful to be sleeping on something better since I didn’t have to put any money in.

But I think it was a major purchase and she should have talked to me first, even if she did use her own money.

Here are what netizens think:

• You’ve been complaining about the old mattress and now you’re complaining about the new one. What else do you want to control?

• Doesn’t seem like it was about money at all. It was about wanting input on where you’re gonna sleep for the next few years.

• I think I would be delighted at such a surprise after 2 YEARS of being poked by bad springs and a broken down mattress.

My GF took a long weekend trip with a group of friends this last weekend. They left Wednesday and came back yesterday. Before she left I had agreed to pick her up at the airport when they came back. It’s about a 40-minute drive from our place and I didn’t have anything planned yesterday so it wasn’t a big deal. I texted her yesterday morning to confirm their arrival time so that I could plan when I should leave and she told me they were supposed to land at 3pm.

I didn’t hear from her the rest of the day, so I left our place at 2:30pm and arrived at the airport at 3:15 and texted her to let her know I was there. When I didn’t hear back from her by 4pm, I kind of started to worry. So I checked their flight status online and found out their flight had been delayed by 2 hours during a layover and wasn’t expected to land for another 90 minutes. So, I went home. I had no way to contact her so I couldn’t tell her.

About 2 hours later I finally got a call from her and she was asking me where I was. I told her I was at home. She got pissed at me and asked why I wasn’t there. I told her I was there at the time she told me, but she neglected to inform me of the flight delay and I wasn’t just going to wait at the airport for 4 hours. I told her to take an Grab.

I could tell she was pissed and she told me she was tired and exhausted (AKA Hungover) and forgot to text me about the flight delay. She said she doesn’t want to sit in a strangers car for an hour and just wants to get back home. I told her I had already driven to the airport once today and I wasn’t going back. And even if I did, it would take me an hour to get there but she hung up on me.

About an hour or so later she got home, threw her bags on the floor, walked to our room, closed the door and locked it. I tried to go talk to her but she wouldn’t open the door. I ended up sleeping on the couch.

This morning I finally got her to talk to me and she told me her phone died and that was why she couldn’t tell me about the delay and that she was tired and cranky and frustrated when they landed, but that I should have still picked her up because I told her I would. She told me that the Grab was crazy expensive because they charged her peak rates and after spending a lot on her vacation, she’s pretty much broke. She told me I should have just found something to do nearby until she landed instead of going home, especially since I had nothing going on.

When I finally got a word in, I told her that I find it hard to believe she couldn’t find a place to charge her phone during a 2-hour flight delay or have one of her friends text me and that it’s simple courtesy to keep people updated on timelines like that when they are doing you a favor. I told her I think she was just too hungover or still drunk and didn’t even think about it.

She called me an Ahole and told me to F off. She again isn’t speaking to me.

My mom is a social media addict and has to post everything. My wife had one request about her wedding. Other than the bridal party no one was to see the wedding dress. My mom kept trying to get my wife to post it for her friends on Facebook because she said everyone wanted her to do it. She was mad that she didn’t even get to post pictures of my wife trying on a different wedding dress and at least allow her to post the rejects. My wife said no and my mom was pissed.

Later when the mom’s and bridesmaids picked out their dresses my mom insisted on wearing white so my wife said F this and put the whole wedding party in white. Including the mothers and grandmothers.

The day of the wedding my mom took a candid shot of my wife getting her veil ready and posted it about 30 minutes before the wedding started. Tagging everyone in it. Including the father of the bride (my FIL) my wife wanted to surprise him just as much as me getting the first look of her dress while he walked her down the aisle. She even had the two photographers posted so they could get shots of the first look. Obviously this was important to my wife.

Her dad saw himself tagged in the photo so instead he saw his daughter on Facebook. My wife didn’t find out until after the ceremony because last minute preparation.

After the ceremony I kicked my mom out of the wedding and she wasn’t invited to the reception. My younger sister and my dad also left, along with a few family members.

My brother and I covered for the mother of the groom dance by leading an impromptu chicken dance to lighten the mood. The dj was super awesome and filled in the spaces with fun songs so at least the reception wasn’t a total bummer.

I really don’t even want my mom in my life now because what she did was petty and selfish. She pulled well maybe my FIL shouldn’t have had his phone on him and my wife shouldn’t have been such a stuck up diva about her dress. I have no interest in continuing a relationship with my mom at this point. My dad thinks I should put this behind me because it’s “typical women drama” but I told him it wasn’t and mom’s just a petty and what she does is not normal at all.

It’s no secret that HDB prices in Singapore are on the rise. I’m a middle-aged man who has lived in the heartland for my entire life and I’m feeling the pinch of these ever-increasing prices. Just a few years ago, I was able to purchase a decent 3-room flat in the heartlands for a reasonable price. But now, even the most basic, barely habitable flats in the heartlands cost an arm and a leg.

I’m not the only one feeling this pinch. In fact, more and more Singaporeans are being priced out of the HDB market altogether. This is especially true for those of us who have not had the opportunity to save enough money to be able to afford a HDB flat. We have to resort to renting or, at worst, living on the streets.

My situation is even worse than most. You see, I’m a self-employed freelancer and my income is not consistent. As a result, I’m unable to qualify for a HDB loan. That means I have to pay for my flat in cash which, in this market, is almost impossible. And even if I did manage to scrape together enough cash, the prices are so high that I’d be forced to sacrifice a lot of other necessities.

I’ve tried looking for other forms of housing but, unfortunately, the private property market isn’t much better. Prices are just as high, if not higher, and the landlords are often more picky than those in the HDB market. So after months of searching, I’m still left with no viable options.

So what do I do? Do I just give up and live on the streets?

No, I’m not willing to do that. Instead, I’ve come up with an alternative solution: sleeping under the bridge.

I know it sounds crazy but it’s not as bad as it sounds. Under the bridge, I’m free from the oppressive rental prices of the HDB market and I’m also able to save a lot of money by avoiding the costs of utilities. Plus, I’m able to keep my belongings safe from theft or damage.

I’m not the only one doing this either. In fact, there are quite a few people living under the bridge in Singapore. We all come from different backgrounds but we all share the same story: we simply can’t afford the rising HDB prices.

It’s not an ideal solution but it’s the only option I have right now. Until the HDB prices come down, I’ll continue to sleep under the bridge. It’s not a glamorous life but it’s better than living on the streets.
