WIFE CONTROLS HUSBAND TIME WORSE THAN A PLATOON SERGEANT

WIFE CONTROLS HUSBAND TIME WORSE THAN A PLATOON SERGEANT

So today we have had the same argument for the 37316517th time and I am really struggling to get my point across.

My wife mentioned that she was going to take a day off in a few weeks to go to the dentist. I said I would take the day off too so that we could spend the morning together and then I would meet my friends in the afternoon.

She casually mentions that she is going to see her aunt after the dentist. I said great, have a good time.

Then she comes in with a guilt trip – It would be nice if you came too, she really enjoys your company, etc … I reminded her that I had said I was busy in the afternoon and we saw her in December so it’s not like I haven’t seen her recently. I would be happy to see her on the weekend but I don’t want to take a day off work for that.

She got annoyed and started trying to push me into going. I felt like I had set a fair boundary regarding my fairly limited free time. Eventually, I gave in because I was trying to work (from home) whilst she was standing in the doorway explaining the 10,000 ways in which I am a bad husband.

If this was a one-off, I’d put it down as a bad experience and move on. But it’s not.

It seems whenever I set aside an afternoon exclusively for me, she takes that as a green light to throw chores in there that didn’t previously exist. Whether it is painting a house, laundry, going to see her family or even just going for a walk.

All things I would happily do if asked … But not after I have explicitly said I am tired / setting aside some time for myself.

The other circumstance is usually her saying that is fine, then proceeding to intentionally taking on a task she cannot do alone so that I have to help and end up feeling guilty so continue to complete with her.

It’s really starting to get to me. She knows I need time to myself to recharge, she knows I gladly do 99% of the things we asks me to do outside of time I have set for myself.

For a bit of context – We don’t have children, I set aside time for myself like this maybe once every six weeks, our day to day domestic duties are fairly evenly split and we both hold up our own end and we regularly see her family with whom I have a good relationship.

How do I effectively communicate this to her? I literally just want some time to myself without that being a green light to guilt me into doing previously unmentioned chores.

GUY NEVER HAD MALE FRIENDS BEFORE, ASKS HOW TO INTERACT WITH GUYS

GUY NEVER HAD MALE FRIENDS BEFORE, ASKS HOW TO INTERACT WITH GUYS

helloo i’ll be enlisting this year and im a little worried about interacting with guys.

i know its a weird issue.. but I’ve never really had a guy friend before (i was an unsociable kid in school and only made a small group of friends all of which are girls) i don’t know why i avoided guys in my school back then but what’s done is already done

my family only has sisters and my cousins are majority girls (2 boys but they’re in primary school) which made it worse for me ( i do love them , it’s just I would like to have a brother/ guy cousin near my age)

in poly i’m also the only guy in class for 3 years straight and i feel that i forgot how to talk to a guy (if that even makes sense?) i even signed up for a Cca just to make some guy friends but i was the only guy in my cca session :/.

The only few guys that i talk to are my sisters boyfriends (sometimes even my friend’s boyfriends) and they keep telling me that ill be just fine and that its a good chance to make some guys friends

thus why i’m a little excited going into ns, tho i’m leaning more towards anxious

since majority of you here are guys how should i interact with all of you? Am i thinking too much into it? Should i be worried? I tried talking to myself in the mirror but i’m really not sure anymore

Netizens’ comments

  • There is nothing to worry about mate, u dont need to always try to engage urself in your bunkmate’s conversation or what, just try to find common interest. And dont talk about others on their back or screw things up for them by saboing them or something. We are all here to serve, just get the two years over with and carry on with life 🙂
  • Ummmmm, it may be a little hard at the beginning I admit, but trust me you would get used to it. Like I faced a similar situation that I mainly had female friends. When you enlist, most people will be kind of hesitant and awkward for the first few days and its perfectly fine, but gradually somehow from just doing activities together you would warm up. Most of the common topics would be like uni or future job, maybe even scholarships if you have ambitious people around. Before enlisting I had this preconceived notion I admit that it would be hard to talk to guys about emotional stuff but what I learnt is that like all stereotypes it does not represent all people. So ya wish u luck, it can really be nerve wracking but just try the few common topics, maybe share a little about yourself and things should get going from there.

MAN CLEARS $10,000 DEBT AND QUITS HIS JOB FOR HAPPINESS

MAN CLEARS $10,000 DEBT AND QUITS HIS JOB FOR HAPPINESS

I never thought I’d be able to say this. 5 years, $10,000+ in debt. Payday loans. unpaid contracts that became owed.

Throwing away piled up letters in the 100’s.

Not only have I overcome smoking addictions, and bad habits. I’m beyond out of debt, I can finally quit my job.

No full time work for a while, TIME to look for something I would like to do more. TIME to create new friendships, travel (soon, I hope) and do more stuff again.

I can reclaim my life, and become myself again. I can finally live without having to worry every waking minute of the day.

I’m at peace, and I could only do it because I lost someone who I now want to reach out to, but it’s not so simple.

Lifeworks in mysterious ways. The best thing is I was able to support some people I know by helping them through the month so far.

I wrote this letter to share with all Singaporeans out there who are struggling, sometimes life is more than just working every day. Everyone is so realistic that most people are unhappy no matter how much money they earn.

I know we are all wired or programmed to go to school at a certain age, then sooner or later work and finally getting pushed for marriage and grandchildren etc.

This actually inhibits our level of creativity and sometimes our happiness.

Sometimes, it’s important to take a step back and ask yourself what is the meaning of life or really makes you happy. If you’re chasing a dream of buying luxury just to show off you will never be happy no matter how much you earn.

The most excuse I heard is “cause I like it”. Most of the time it’s a lie and the worse thing is their lying to themselves.

SUPERSTAR CELEBRITY KURT TAY GETS FIRED FOR REPEATEDLY PLAYING WITH PHONE AT WORK

Singapore self-proclaimed “superstar celebrity” Kurt Tay Foo Wei, recently made the news after being charged in court for allegedly disseminating obscene content of a woman without her consent. However, it seems his legal troubles are only the tip of the iceberg.

A video emerged online showing Tay purportedly being fired from his job as a security guard because he had been playing with his phone too much.

What happened?

In the video, Tay was seen having a heated conversation with what seems to be his supervisor on the phone at a supermarket.

The supervisor told him that their client apparently saw him playing with his phone and requested that Tay be removed from his post.

He then asked Tay how many phones he has, and Tay replied that he had “4 or 5 ah,” and the supervisor revealed that he had been receiving complaints about Tay playing with his phone while on duty.

An upset Tay then defended his actions, saying that “there’s nothing to do, if you don’t use phone, what are you going to do? You want to stare into the air? Definitely you will fall asleep one! Some more is midnight!”

Existing legal troubles

Self-proclaimed “superstar celebrity” online personality, Kurt Tay Foo Wei, was earlier this week charged with distributing an obscene video of a woman without her consent, to a Telegram chat group.

Following his court appearance, he has since taken to social media to appeal for donations from the public, so that he can hire a lawyer for his court case.

He also shed light on his situation, saying that he needs the money urgently and had been “sabotaged” by some “cb kia, some pubor kia”.

He says that the money raised will be used by him to hire a “professional lawyer” for his court case as well as to “sue someone and not for other purpose.”

He said that “this someone want to destroy my life” as he reiterated his need for money, adding that “it’s not easy to go strike 4D 1st prize”.

Recap on his court case

Tay, a 41-year-old Singaporean, first encountered legal trouble on November 1, when initial charges were filed against him. These charges pertain to the distribution of an intimate photo and video without the woman’s consent, marking the beginning of a legal saga.

The focus of the charges lies in an incident that occurred on October 27, where Tay is accused of sending a video of a woman performing an obscene act to a Telegram chat group. The gravity of the situation is compounded by the fact that this action was taken without the woman’s consent and with the awareness that it could cause her humiliation, alarm, and distress.

Returning to court on November 16, Tay faced the legal consequences of his actions. A gag order is in place to safeguard the identity of the victim, extending its protection to the name of the chat group involved. The court session drew public attention, with individuals sharing updates through separate Telegram chat groups.

During the court appearance, the police prosecutor requested additional time to fulfill the directions given by the Attorney-General’s Chambers.

Tay’s Response

Tay expressed his intention to apply to the Public Defender’s Office (PDO), a move that adds a layer of legal strategy to his defense. The judge instructed him to make the PDO application within a week and to ensure his bailor’s presence at the next hearing for potential fresh charges.

Potential Consequences

If convicted of distributing intimate material without a woman’s consent, Tay could face significant penalties, including imprisonment for up to five years, fines, caning, or a combination of these punishments. There is also the possibility of additional charges under the Protection from Harassment Act.

The legal saga will continue with Tay scheduled to return to court on December 11. This upcoming hearing holds the potential for new developments and additional charges, adding further complexity to the case.

MAN BROKE DOWN AFTER 10 Y.O SON ASK WHY THEY ONLY HOLIDAY IN M’SIA & NOT JAPAN

MAN BROKE DOWN AFTER 10 Y.O SON ASK WHY THEY ONLY HOLIDAY IN M’SIA & NOT JAPAN

Today my heart broke a little when my 10 year old boy asked me why is it that his friends’ parents always bring them to places like Japan and Australia for holiday while our family only goes to Malaysia.

Disclaimer first before anyone starts criticising us, my son wasn’t complaining. He was just genuinely curious why we haven’t considered places other than Malaysia for our holiday destinations. So I explained to him that Papa and Mama don’t earn a lot and although we want to bring him out to play, we also need to set aside some money as savings so there’s a limit to how much we can spend on holidays.

We don’t have enough in our budget to go to Japan and Australia, but next time we have saved up enough, we’ll bring him there. I thought he would be jealous of his friends but he just nodded and went into his room.

A while later he emerged from his room with his piggy bank and told me that he feels thankful that his dad and I work hard to provide for him. And that to show his appreciation, he wants to bring us out for my favourite sushi with his savings since he can’t afford to bring us to Japan.

Omg when he said that I swear my tears were brimming at my eyes and I just felt so grateful to be his mom.

Compared to some of the stories that I hear my friends share, I’m really very thankful that my son is such an understanding and sweet boy.

Here are what netizens think:

  • He will do big when he grows up

MORE PEOPLE HOSPITALISED FOR COVID & ICU CASES ON THE RISE, COVID INFECTIONS SPIKING

MORE PEOPLE HOSPITALISED FOR COVID & ICU CASES ON THE RISE, COVID INFECTIONS SPIKING

 COVID-19 infections have been on the rise in Singapore over the past two weeks. However, there is no indication that the variants circulating locally are more transmissible or cause more severe disease. While hospitalisations and ICU cases have increased, the numbers are not high like during the pandemic.

2.    The estimated number of COVID-19 cases in the week of 26 November to 2 December 2023 rose to 32,035 cases, compared to 22,094 cases in the previous week. The average daily COVID-19 hospitalisations rose to 225 from 136 the week before, and the average daily Intensive Care Unit (ICU) cases increased to four cases compared to one case in the previous week.

3.    This has added workload to our hospitals, which are already busy. The Ministry of Health (MOH) is closely tracking the trajectory of this wave to ensure that our healthcare capacity is able to cope.

4.    The increase in cases could be due to a number of factors, including waning population immunity and increased travel and community interactions during the year-end travel and festive season. Cases infected by JN.1, a sublineage of BA.2.86, currently account for over 60 percent of COVID-19 cases in Singapore. While BA.2.86 and its sublineages have been classified as a Variant of Interest by the World Health Organization since 21 November 2023, there are currently no indications, globally or locally, that BA.2.86 or JN.1 are more transmissible or cause more severe disease than other circulating variants. 

Exercising personal and social responsibility is key 

5. We urge the public to exercise precaution, personal and social responsibility. The most important precautionary measures are:

a. Practise good personal hygiene, such as frequent hand washing;
b. When unwell, stay at home, and minimise contact with other people, especially seniors and those who are vulnerable;
c. At a crowded place, particularly if not well-ventilated, consider wearing a mask; and
d. When travelling overseas, stay vigilant and adopt relevant travel precautions, such as wearing a mask at the airport, purchasing travel insurance, and avoiding crowded areas with poor ventilation.

Please visit MOH’s Health Advisory for Travellers at www.moh.gov.sg/diseasesupdates/travel-advisory for more information.

6.   We also urge the public to seek medical treatment at a hospital’s Emergency
Department only for serious or life-threatening emergencies. This will preserve our
hospital capacity for patients who truly need acute hospital care and allow those with
severe illness to receive timely treatment. 

Vaccination remains effective in protecting against severe illness 

7. Everyone is advised to keep up to date with their COVID-19 vaccinations. This includes an additional dose around one year after their last vaccine dose for those aged 60 years and above, medically vulnerable persons, and residents of aged care facilities. Beyond this group, all individuals aged six months and above are also encouraged to receive the additional dose, particularly for healthcare workers and household members/ caregivers of medically vulnerable individuals.

8. The updated COVID-19 monovalent Pfizer-BioNTech/Comirnaty and Moderna/Spikevax vaccines have been available at our Joint Testing and Vaccination Centres, participating Public Health Preparedness Clinics and selected polyclinics since November 2023, and continue to be free. Please refer to
https://gowhere.gov.sg/vaccine for the nearest vaccination site and the types of
vaccines offered at each site.

THAI WOMAN HIGH ON DRUGS BEATS HER MOTHER TO DEATH

In the quiet central province of Ang Thong, a horrifying incident unfolded on December 6 that shook the community to its core. Kanita Thongdee, a 49-year-old woman, made a distressing discovery when she found her 72-year-old mother, Pinthong Thongdee, lifeless in their home.

The Victim and Perpetrator

Kanita Thongdee, a regular member of the community, lived with her older sister, Sunantha Pinthong, and their mother, Pinthong Thongdee. The relationships in this household were strained, primarily due to Sunantha’s battle with drug addiction.

The Crime Scene

The gruesome scene inside the house revealed a battered Pinthong Thongdee lying on her bed, with visible injuries and a blood-stained broom nearby. This raised immediate suspicions, leading Kanita to question Sunantha’s involvement.

Kanita’s Suspicions

Kanita’s concerns deepened when she realized Sunantha was absent during the discovery. The daily conflicts between Sunantha and her mother, fueled by drug addiction, added weight to Kanita’s suspicions.

The Search for Sunantha

Promptly, Kanita urged the Si Bua Thong Police Station to investigate Sunantha’s possible involvement. Sunantha was found about a kilometer from the house, with conflicting information and a shocking discovery of methamphetamine tablets.

Drug Connection

Sunantha’s apparent drug addiction came to the forefront as officers found Yaba tablets in her possession. Denying involvement in her mother’s murder, Sunantha’s conflicting statements raised more questions about the tragic incident.

Legal Consequences

The severity of the crime was reflected in the initial murder charges against Sunantha, carrying the potential for the death penalty under Section 289 of the Criminal Law.

Investigative Process

The subsequent interrogation aimed at unraveling the events leading to the tragedy and understanding Sunantha’s connection to the drugs found in her possession.

Community Impact

The incident reverberated through the local community, sparking discussions on the broader issues of drug addiction and its impact on families. Addressing the underlying problems became imperative.

The Broader Issue

The case highlights the role of drug addiction in family conflicts and underscores the need for societal solutions. Understanding the societal implications is crucial for preventing such tragedies in the future.

Conclusion

As the community grapples with the aftermath of this tragic incident, there’s a collective call for addressing drug addiction and its impact on families. The untimely death of Pinthong Thongdee serves as a stark reminder of the broader issues that require attention and action.

69 Y.O MAN KILLED AFTER HIS PMA COLLIDED WITH MOTORCYCLE @ JURONG WEST

In the quiet neighborhood of Block 457 Jurong West Street 41, a tragic incident unfolded on the night of December 7. A 69-year-old male rider on a Personal Mobility Aid (PMA) collided with a motorcycle before later dying of his injuries, according to Shin Min Daily News.

The Incident Details

The unfortunate incident occurred at approximately 8:35 pm, near Block 457 Jurong West Street 41, leaving an elderly man unconscious and in need of immediate medical attention.

Eyewitnesses reported a chaotic scene, with parts of the PMA scattered along the road, indicating a significant impact. Paramedics swiftly arrived, attempting cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) on the elderly man.

The elderly PMA rider, later identified as the 69-year-old, faced severe injuries, ultimately leading to his passing. In contrast, a 27-year-old male motorcyclist, though conscious, suffered leg and neck injuries.

Insights from Eyewitness

Mr. Xie, an eyewitness, shared his account of the incident. According to him, the collision resulted in the PMA’s seat and wheels detaching, indicating a forceful impact. Speculating that the PMA rider was crossing the road when the collision occurred, Xie said that the impact was so grate that the PMA’s seat and wheels came off.

Amidst the chaos, passers-by played a crucial role in managing the situation. They directed traffic, aiding emergency responders and ensuring the safety of others.

The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) confirmed the accident and said that it happened on 7 December at about 8.35pm.

The deceased was initially conveyed to the hospital unconscious, where he later died from his injuries; whereas the motorcyclist was sent to Ng Teng Fong General Hospital conscious.

Police investigations into the accident are currently ongoing.

RWS FINED $2.25 MILLION, ” FAILED TO CHECK FOR CASH DEPOSITS OVER $5,000

RWS FINED $2.25 MILLION, ” FAILED TO CHECK FOR CASH DEPOSITS OVER $5,000

In the fast-paced world of entertainment and hospitality, Resorts World Sentosa (RWS) has recently found itself in hot water. The Gambling Regulatory Authority (GRA) has slapped RWS with a staggering S$2.25 million fine for a serious lapse in conducting customer due diligence checks. Let’s delve into the details of this unprecedented penalty and the events leading up to it.

The Regulatory Requirements

Understanding Customer Due Diligence

The Casino Control Act and the Casino Control (Prevention of Money Laundering and Terrorism Financing) Regulations mandate that casino operators perform due diligence checks for cash deposits exceeding S$5,000. This crucial step ensures the transparency and legality of financial transactions within the casino industry.

The Oversight: RWS’s Failure

Failure to Establish Identity

In a press release dated December 8, the GRA revealed that RWS failed to conduct essential due diligence checks on third-party depositors. The casino giant neglected to record necessary identifying information and overlooked the verification process using reliable and independent sources, as explicitly required by regulations.

The Magnitude of the Fine

Reported by CNA, the S$2.25 million penalty levied on RWS marks a historic moment, being the largest fine ever imposed by the GRA on a casino operator. This raises questions about the gravity of RWS’s oversight and the potential consequences for such lapses in the highly regulated casino industry.

Uncovering Non-Compliance

Review of Patron Activities

In 2020, the GRA instructed RWS and Marina Bay Sands (MBS) to review certain patrons’ activities. This review brought to light several non-compliant transactions conducted by RWS, prompting further investigation by the regulatory authority.

Systemic Failures and Control Issues

The investigations revealed that RWS had a framework and controls in place to adhere to guidelines. However, systemic failures in specific controls led to the failure to detect non-compliances during transactions spanning from December 2016 to December 2019.

Remedial Actions and Consequences

Prompt Actions by RWS

Acknowledging the lapses, RWS took swift action to improve its processes. The casino engaged an independent party to review its standard operating procedures and, notably, undertook a comprehensive review of its corporate culture to strengthen internal controls and corporate governance.

Employee Licence Cancellation

In addition to the substantial fine, GRA took a severe stance by canceling the special employee licence of an individual involved in the breaches. GRA issues these licenses to individuals who play crucial roles in casino-related functions or decision-making regarding casino operations.

Ongoing Investigations and Regulatory Vigilance

Assessing Culpability

GRA is not stopping at the hefty penalty and licence cancellation. Further investigations are underway to assess the culpability of other special employees involved in the oversight. This move underscores GRA’s commitment to maintaining a tight grip on operators’ compliance with regulatory requirements.

GRA’s Warning and Assurance

In a stern statement, GRA emphasized its serious view of such lapses and assured that it would not hesitate to take disciplinary action against errant casino operators. The regulatory body pledged to continue its vigilant supervision to ensure strict compliance with regulatory standards.

Conclusion

Resorts World Sentosa’s record-breaking fine serves as a stark reminder of the casino industry’s need for stringent adherence to regulations. The GRA’s actions send a clear message that non-compliance will be met with severe consequences. RWS’s commitment to rectifying its shortcomings is evident, but only time will tell if these measures prove effective in rebuilding trust in this entertainment powerhouse.
