I stay alone, I want to rent out a room, my gf don’t allow, how
One of my friend is currently renting on her own, but her rental is ending next month. Her new house will only be ready Sep/October this year, so she is looking to rent somewhere for just a few months until then (her family is not in SG so she doesn’t have anywhere else to stay).
Since I stay alone with extra room to spare, she asked if she can rent at my place.
I had a chat with my gf about this, and she wasn’t happy because it’ll just be me and my friend at the house (my gf doesn’t stay with me due to family reasons).
So I asked her if I were to rent out the room to a guy is she ok? And she also said no, because she wants to come over as and when, and having a random guy around will be uncomfortable for her.
I understand her view, but to me it’s such a waste to not rent out the room since it is extra income. Need some advice on how to navigate this situation?
Netizens’ comments

aiya this kind of small problem cannot settle then no future sia

The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) swiftly responded to the incident, having been alerted to it around 6.25 pm. The accident occurred in a particularly busy stretch of the expressway, with several eyewitnesses documenting the aftermath. The scene featured at least four individuals directing traffic, an SCDF ambulance, and the trailer occupying the rightmost lane. It was a chaotic and unsettling sight, to say the least.
Medical Response
One crucial aspect of this incident is the condition of the injured motorcyclist. The 26-year-old rider was taken to Khoo Teck Puat Hospital, but it was reported that he remained conscious. The nature of the injuries sustained remains undisclosed, but it is a testament to the importance of prompt medical attention in such cases.

Two lanes on the expressway are cordoned off with traffic cones, and both police and EMAS Recovery vehicles are present near the trailer.
Road Safety Awareness
This incident serves as a stark reminder of the importance of adhering to traffic rules and practicing responsible driving. Careless driving can have severe consequences, affecting not only the driver but also innocent road users. Increased vigilance and adherence to safety regulations are imperative to prevent such incidents in the future.

The incident involving the flight attendant berating a parent for allowing her child to stand on his seat has generated online debate.
Details of the incident
The incident occurred on October 31 while the plane was taxiing on the runway, as shown in a TikTok video. The destination of the flight was not disclosed.
In the video, a cabin crew member, presumably from Scoot Airlines, is seen scolding the mother in Mandarin, saying, “Don’t you know it’s very dangerous? I’ll have to write a report if anything happens to him. And it’s going to be very long.”
The flight attendant also emphasizes that the passenger should take responsibility for her child’s actions and expresses fear about the situation.
The video has garnered over 50,000 views and has sparked a discussion about whether the flight attendant’s reaction was justified or unprofessional.
One commenter criticized the flight attendant’s approach, stating, “You never scold a parent in public, especially not in front of their child.”
On the other hand, some viewers supported the flight attendant’s response, highlighting the importance of prioritizing safety.
They argued, “Safety first. Don’t wait for something to happen before regretting it.”
The incident underscores the delicate balance that flight attendants often face in ensuring the safety of passengers while maintaining professionalism and sensitivity in their interactions with parents and children during a flight.
The debate reflects differing opinions on how such situations should be handled.
I (24M) have been with my girlfriend (20F) for about 2 months + and things have been great so far. I’m very happy whenever I’m with her. However, there’s something that’s been bothering me since a month ago.
Basically, she got to know this guy (let’s call him Adam) from a mutual friend of hers a month ago, and they started talking and texting (not sure how regularly though), and then arranged a meet up to have lunch not long after.
She then informed me a day before their lunch that she was going to meet Adam for lunch at city area and asked if I was okay about. To reassure me, she showed me his instagram profile and holysmoke, he’s honestly a 10/10 in terms of looks LOL.
So I started to get jealous over him and I relayed how I felt to my girlfriend, and she continued to reassure me that they’re just friends and she loves only loves me.
She then asked if she should cancel the lunch session with Adam, to which I said no because I don’t want to be “that controlling boyfriend” and I respect her right to meet anyone she wants.
Fast forward to this Saturday (2 days ago), she suddenly told me that she’s going to study with Adam to prepare for her upcoming exam (exam is tomorrow). The study session lasted for the whole day, from like morning to night.
Again, I got bothered by it and told her about it. She then asked if she should cut her study session short, and of course, i said no because i dont want to be an unreasonable bf. Anyway, I was supposed to meet my girlfriend today to study together, but she told me yesterday that she don’t think it’s a good idea to head out to study today since her exam is tomorrow.
So, I asked her if I am a distracting study partner, and if she had managed to complete her agenda on Sunday, to which she answered yes for both of the questions. She then further explained that she don’t usually go out a day before her exam.
I was still very bothered by it so I told her how I felt about all of this yesterday night. She told me this is how she is.
She treats guys the same way she treats her female friends. The thing is, she was accused previously by her ex-friends and ex-bf that she hung out too frequently with guys alone. However, since her conscience is clear (she only see her male friends as just friends), she is okay with hanging out with them alone. She then proceeded to reassure me that they are really just friends and she loves me so much.
So my question here is, is it normal for me to feel uncomfortable and jealous about this? Or am I just too insecure to deal with this maturely? I dont really know how to approach this issue since this is my first relationship… your help and opinion are greatly appreciated! 🙂
Senior Citizens in Singapore seems to have an ‘entitled’ mindset
Incident happened at Jurong East MRT station during peak hours that left a netizen astonished and perplexed. A woman, approximately 60 years of age, decided to cut the queue and board the MRT train without any regard for the passengers who were already waiting their turn.
What set this incident apart, however, was her audacious attempt to reserve a seat designated for people with special needs, using nothing more than her bag.
What happened according to the netizen
As the doors of the MRT train opened, the passengers inside disembarked in an orderly fashion.
However, the elderly lady showed no consideration and squeezed her way onto the train before anyone had a chance to alight. This act alone was enough to raise eyebrows and elicit disapproving glances from those present.
When confronted by the netizen who questioned the propriety of her actions, the lady’s response was far from apologetic.
In a mumbled tone to her colleague, she stated that the seat belonged to the “older” people, making the netizen think that this was how she was essentially implying that her age granted her the privilege to disregard the rules and common courtesy.
The post by the netizen
Was at JE MRT about off-work hour 6.15pm, queueing to board the MRT when this auntie abt 60yo cut right to the front and middle of the doors. I was couple of people behind, so couldn’t call her out without shouting, so I kept quiet. When doors opened, the auntie didn’t let ppl out first and squeezed her way in, sat at the second seat, while using her bag to “chope” the priority seat for her uncle colleague.
When I boarded, I told her she very xiasuey, don’t even know how to queue up. She didn’t respond to me and told her friend “This is old people seat”.
See la, these are the entitled folks we’ve created with all these “priority seats”, “priority queue” etc. Made these old folks think they are special, more important than others.
In case ppl say I kaypo, it’s not kaypo because she cut our/my queue. As for ppl saying “old ppl, let them la”, no, old doesn’t mean u can be rude and forget manners.
In a post that was seen on Facebook, a disgruntled netizen wrote a complain about their experience at the Ya Kun outlet at Suntec.
Summary
A summary of the complaint is as follows:
Netizen went to the outlet to get stuff for the colleagues
Netizen asked the staff roughly how long the food will be ready
This was because netizen was in a rush and just wanted an estimation of how long it’ll take
Netizen mentioned that it took longer than usual and did not see anyone preparing the ordered items after placing the order
Netizen raised concerns about his order to the staff
According to netizen, staff replied ‘You cannot wait? then dont buy la i return back to you. Want to complain me right go complain then.’
Netizen claimed that the staff there were playing with their phones at work
Here is the post by the netizen
[Experience at Ya Kun]
I was buying stuff for my colleagues at Ya Kun outlet at suntec. Normally i will ask how long the preparation because i am in a rush for something else so i know the timing an know the estimation.
After i ordered my stuff, i didnt see them prepare so i ask is my items ready why is it taking so longer than usual and there is no queue.
This dude say this to me; You cannot wait? then dont buy la i return back to you. Want to complain me right go complain then.
Side note: Some stuff (staff) even can play phone at work, wondered why hiring managers hired them.
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.
In a surprising turn of events, a case of theft and confrontation has unfolded, involving the alleged theft of an Apple Watch and a subsequent physical altercation. The incident has resulted in the arrest of an individual on charges of Theft in Dwelling.
Stole friend’s Apple Watch
The incident began when the victim, whose identity remains undisclosed, reported the theft of their Apple Watch from their room. The victim’s response to the alleged theft included offering a reward of $500 in an attempt to recover their stolen property. According to the victim, their friend, who was initially accused of the theft, ultimately admitted to taking the Apple Watch when confronted with the financial incentive.
However, things took an unexpected turn when the alleged thief believed that the victim would be absent, leading them to return the stolen item. The accused individual placed the Apple Watch outside the victim’s door and requested the money transfer before leaving.
Beaten up
Seizing the opportunity, the victim confronted the accused shortly after the item’s return. This confrontation escalated, resulting in a physical altercation in which the victim claimed to have beaten the guy up.
Subsequently, the victim contacted the police, leading to the arrest of the accused individual on the grounds of Theft in Dwelling.
The victim expressed a strong determination to pursue legal action against the accused. In addition to criminal charges, they revealed their intention to file a separate civil suit. This course of action is aimed at seeking compensation for damages incurred during the incident and potentially affecting the accused’s future with a criminal record.
Here is what the netizen said
So long story short for those of all asking – This dumba- friend of mine stole my Apple watch from my room. He initially denied, but eventually caved in when I baited him with $500 cash in exchange for my watch.
Dumba- thought I was flying off to SICK today, so he came down to return the watch by placing it outside my door and instructed me to transfer the money to him instead.
I waited by the door, dashed out, cornered him, and beat the sh-t outta him. I eventually called the police and he got arrested for the criminal offence of Theft in Dwelling.
Never have I imagined that someone would want to test the satan in me. I’m so prepared to ruin his future with a criminal record, and will also be filing a separate civil suit against him.
I can be one of the nicest guy you’ll ever meet or I can be someone you wished you never met.
hi everyone, would like to seek opinions if is it normal for my boyfriend to reject my S advances?
As every time when im at his place or he is at my place and my parent’s arent home and i try to ask him to do it with me, he rejects me and says he wants to wait till we’re married before doing it.
I’m his 1st girlfriend and his 27, and we’ve been together for 2 years already so I don’t know why is he so shy, is my boyfriend secretly gay? As i can’t think of any guy who would reject their girlfriend when their girlfriend is the one initiating it, and i did say whether he wants to use a rubber anot it is up to him, but he acts like a wuss and keeps rejecting me.
How do i get him to man up and do it?
Here are what netizens think:
He is keeping his virginity for his one true love whom he is going to marry. Nothing wrong with it . Premarital S used to be the wrong thing to do until ppl normalised it and start thinking not having it, is abnormal.
Does he have a religion that he adheres to closely? Or his family has very strong moral values? He’s a keeper. Respecting you and your body and yet you do not even appreciate it. Just because a guy doesn’t want to have S with you you think he’s gay?? That’s a very toxic mentality. There’s nothing abnormal with not wanting to have S before marriage and people who have this value shouldn’t be shamed into thinking there’s something wrong with them.
Hmmmm, did you manage to check or visually see before that it is functioning tool.
Don’t blame yourself for wondering what’s wrong with him. He could be a monk. See if you can break him. Be the dominant one!
Your bf is a real keeper. He’s mature, and he doesn’t want the risk of having a baby outside marriage.
