So about 3 years ago I (M25) met and was rejected by my dream girl (F23). She was quite literally everything I ever wanted in a partner – and I don’t mean “she was hot”.
I meant she was smart, caring, kind, ambitious, good with kids, etc. And as a bonus rich and attractive as well. I was all of the first, but not rich nor attractive, but rather middle class and average looks.
Anyways she rejected me and as per the grapevine it was because my earning potential was said to be less than her and I wasn’t as wealthy as she was so therefore she wasn’t into me.
Now that hurt, obviously. I was always planning to succeed in life but this made me go the extra. For contest she and I met at undergrad, at a top university, which of course disproportionately had rich kids.
Anyways, with hard work, a lot of luck, and help from my middle-class parents, I managed to scrape enough to make a down payment on a condo.
But instead of living there, I’ll stay with my parents longer and make this my investment property. Anyways, I placed it for rent and by luck guess who ended up renting it from me?
It was the woman who rejected me and her identical twin sister. My twin sister did all the initial work so the girl who rejected me really was in for a surprise when she found out
Ever since I became their landlord, I can see the regret on GirlWhoRejectedMe’s face as both she and her twin have been trying to show interest in me. But I ignore them. I’ve realized that I can do better than someone who thinks they are better cause they are born rich. Cause fundamentally I have ultimately won; I am the landlord of someone who rejected me for being lower class.
Now she is paying me a portion of her earnings as I am literally on a class ladder above her. What could be better?!?!
Which I am really young that time, But not hardcore only go ones in awhile.As not much cash around that time

I went to a KTV at Geylang and of course, there will be tips for the girls and mama san. When I just started out at this kind of joint it was around $20-$30 for tips.
Nowadays it is mostly $50 to $100 for the girl to sit with you.
So not long after the Vietnam girl sat down, she asked if I wanted to go hotel with her. I asked for the price and she said: “short time 500 long time 1,000”.
I jitao stun, $1k?! siao ah, I can buy an air ticket to go Bangkok find a different one every night and come back still got money left over.
The girl says now covid price is different, I say what covid? not enough chicken supply same Malaysia ah then the price go up until like that.
Or the world now has a shorter supply of females.
I thought it was this particular joint or this particular girl, I asked around my other friends who go KTV and told us that this has been the price since circuit breaker and the price has not gone down.
For those who wants to find some fun at some KTV, I rather you fly straight to Vietnam. Cheaper more fun and more choices.

What can you do to someone who willingly keep falling for scams?
As per title, this person lives in the household with me. Despite all the education and logic explanation, he continues to believe the other person at the other side will give him riches as long as he transfers a small sum of money over.
The thing is he doesn’t have the money and he always keep pestering the family to lend to him. It has gotten so bad that it has involved into shouting matches and him still not seeing the light, unless he gets his objective which is the money.
He has fallen for every scam possible, pork scam, love scam, investment scams, and still doesn’t see wrong. The wrong is that he didn’t “complete” the journey, that’s why he lost all those “money” he’s supposed to have.
Has anyone encountered such person and can you share what did you do? Thought of filing report but since no harm or loss, he probably will get away with this and restart the cycle.

Excessive gullibility to the point of significant impact to daily life is a warning sign for Alzheimer’s.
Shit, this reminds me of my grandma back then. Heard from my parents when I was young that she got a ring ‘stolen’. She was walking around the neighborhood, a man came up and said something like “your son at home want to borrow your ring for a bit, he asked me to help pick up from you”. Grandma just took off the ring and handed to the man without question. Police couldn’t do anything; no witness, no CCTV, grandma couldn’t even string together a coherent statement for the police.
This is a very difficult topic for me to comment on because my mother went through the exact experience you are describing. She fell for a honeypot scam and divorced my father in hopes of marrying the scammer and leaving the country. My parents were already in their late fifties when this happened and there was very little love between them. Still, she gave away all of their joint savings and subsequently divorced my father, leaving him penniless. After this scam, it seemed like a screw went loose in her brain. She had always been an educated and intelligent woman, so none of us could understand what was happening to her. She would actively seek out more scammers and, like the person you describe, borrowed money from everyone she knew to transfer ‘small’ sums of money to the various scammers. 1k, 2k, 3k here and there, adds up to plenty. There was very little we (my brother and I) could do as her children. She was still working at the time and we had no access to her bank accounts. She even tried to convince us that one of her scammer boyfriends was legit through having us listen in to a voice call. Well, this American boyfriend of hers had a noticeably strong Nigerian accent. Nothing against Nigerian people, but it was just ridiculous. My brother ended up yelling at the scammer who quickly hung up, leading my mother to burst into tears. In the end, at a loss, we notified her cousin and he stepped in to manage the situation. This resulted in her living with him and his family for years, wildly overstaying her welcome. My brother and I took the opportunity to go NC because it had become impossible to reason with her. After many years, we slowly resumed contact with her and by and large, she appeared fine. However, earlier this year, she fell for yet another scam. She claimed she’d been scammed by HDB (yes, seriously) but records showed she’d transferred the money to an individual’s bank account. The money was borrowed from my brother. She paid it off over a couple of months, but the damage has been done. I honestly have no idea what to do. I suppose I am as helpless as you, OP. For now, I limit my interactions with her as it seems like she will never learn. I proposed therapy, etc, but it has all fallen on deaf ears. I know this response isn’t any help, but I hope it lends you some comfort that your case is not unique. It’s extremely difficult to watch someone you know and care for fall for such ridiculous things. The best solution would be to seek therapy as the cause is likely psychological, but I recognise that this is difficult in Singapore.
So, I’ve been struggling with my girlfriend’ parents and with Vietnamese culture in general. I’ll try to explain the situation as best as I can so bear with me.
My girlfriend left Vietnam around 5 years ago to work/study abroad as she didn’t like her life there (work culture, being pressured into marrying a Vietnamese man, etc). Of course, her parents didn’t like this decision and weren’t supportive so they were not in the best terms with her.
Now, jump to the present. We’re together living in Singapore and as I always wanted to travel to and it has been a while we both didn’t have some proper holidays so we decided to go to Vietnam for one month together.
As we would stay one week with her parents, we would meet most of her family. She explained to me that it was expected we brought gifts to everyone. We spent around $1300 in cosmetics, wine, sweets, etc. I told her I was really uncomfortable with this culture of having to gift a bottle of wine to even the most remote cousin she had because it’s tradition (when no one even bothered to ask news of her for the last 5 years) .
I can afford such expenses but they seem outrageous to me (I paid a big part of it as my girlfriend’s income is lower than mine) as I myself don’t buy gifts for my family unless it’s direct family and generally it would be a book or something like that for a birthday. But I understand it’s a different mindset and went for it.
When we arrived there, most of our gifts were either confiscated by her parents because they thought they were not good enough, or simply looted by neighbours or family who just went through the suitcases to take as many things as possible.
It’s understandable I was mad with the situation but my Vietnamese is too bad for me to speak up properly and my girlfriend was just sad overall so we just let it slide.
Also, I was surprised by how much money and showing off matter to them. Most of my girlfriend family were proudly displaying full-on Gucci, Yves-Saint-Laurent, Channel etc outfits which were clearly fake as they are (most all of them) farmers who couldn’t afford the real thing.
Her uncle even rented a “fancy” car to come to pick up us and visit the town. Again, we privately laugh at it with my girlfriend and just roll with it and accept their comments on how poor we look because we only wear Adidas sports clothes (the weather is killing me, I have no intent to wear a suit)
Now, we’re about to leave the familial house and start our real holidays but we had a very surreal discussion with my girlfriend’s father: he stated I was too poor (joke on him) to be his son-in-law and because I have no intention to come to live in Vietnam to take care of them, her daughter should just date a Vietnamese.
He then proceeded to give me SGD$50 in đồng so I can give her daughter some “proper” holidays. I laughed at it as I thought it was a joke but when I realized he was being for serious I just told him this was the last time he would see me with a smile on my face (with broken Vietnamese but he got the message).
We called a taxi, booked a hotel and just left. My girlfriend is clearly sad about this whole situation and I really don’t know how to confront it and her family. Is this a “normal” scenario.
Am I being a d bag for not understanding their culture? Should I just cross them out of our future together?
ComfortDelGro, one of Singapore’s prominent transportation service providers, has announced significant revisions to its taxi fare structure in a bid to assist taxi drivers in mitigating the impact of escalating operating expenses attributed to soaring fuel prices, high inflation, and the anticipated Goods & Service Tax (GST) hike. The adjustments, comprising fare increases and the introduction of new surcharge hours, are scheduled to take effect at 6:00 am on 13 December 2023.
$0.50 increases in flag down fares
ComfortDelGro’s current fleet of taxis, excluding limousine taxis, will experience a S$0.50 increase in flag-down fares and a one-cent increase for distances and waiting time fares. This adjustment encompasses popular taxi models such as the Hyundai i40, Hyundai Ioniq, Hyundai Kona, BYD E6, Toyota Prius, and Toyota Sienta taxis.
Limousine taxis will maintain their revised flag-down fares, implemented on 30 November 2023. However, distances and waiting time fares for Limousine taxis will be adjusted to S$0.36 from S$0.35. For detailed fare structures, please refer to Annex 1 (see below).
With this fare adjustment, the estimated fare for a 10km off-peak normal taxi trip is projected to increase by 6.8%, amounting to S$0.94, raising the total from S$13.80 to S$14.74.
Peak hour surcharge extended
As part of the comprehensive fare adjustment strategy aimed at addressing increased taxi demand, ComfortDelGro will extend the evening peak hour surcharge for all taxis by one hour, covering the period from 5:00 pm to 11:59 pm, effective every day of the week, including public holidays. Additionally, a new peak hour surcharge will be introduced from 10:00 am to 1:59 pm on Saturdays, Sundays, and public holidays. For further details, please refer to Annex 2.
Cabbies earning impacted
Mr Tommy Tan, CEO of ComfortDelGro’s Taxi Business, emphasized the necessity of this move, stating, “For the past few years, our cabbies’ earnings had been impacted first by the pandemic, and then by higher operating expenses due to an increase in fuel prices and high inflation. This carefully considered move to update our fare structure is necessary. It ensures that our cabbies receive fair earnings with the rising cost of operations.”
Tan highlighted the importance of reviewing peak hours to meet commuter needs during increased demand, expressing appreciation for commuters’ understanding and support during this change.
Rental waivers
In support of its cabbies, ComfortDelGro has been providing rental waivers since the onset of the pandemic in April 2020 and continues to offer a 10% rental waiver today. The Company collaborated with the National Taxi Association (NTA) to propose these fare changes, receiving the association’s support in acknowledgment of the challenges faced by taxi drivers.
Ms Yeo Wan Ling, Adviser to NTA, stressed the significance of the fare adjustment, noting, “The rise in the fare adjustment is important for our taxi drivers who are also struggling with a higher cost of living and operating cost due to higher fuel prices.”
Ms Yeo also highlighted the impending GST increase in 2024 as an additional factor contributing to the challenges faced by taxi drivers, impacting their rental, food, and parking expenses, among others. She emphasized that the fare increase will translate into higher take-home pay for taxi drivers, allowing them to better support their families.
Welcome move
In response to the fare adjustments, Cabby Raymond Ong shared, “In recent years, the rising cost of living and operational expenses have eaten into cabbies’ earnings. The impending GST increase in 2024 also adds to my concerns and worries. This welcome adjustment not only provides timely relief from the impact of the GST hike but also serves as a much-needed measure to support cabbies in improving our earnings and make ends meet.”

In a shocking incident that sent shockwaves through Changchun city, China; a 23-year-old man, surnamed Zhou, has confessed to intentionally killing a woman, surnamed Lou, by hurling bricks off a high-rise apartment on the 32nd floor, according to South China Morning Post.
The tragic event unfolded on June 22 at Wanda Plaza, a popular snack street, leaving the 28-year-old victim dead and the community grappling with the senseless act.
The Tragic Day at Wanda Plaza
On June 22, the victim, Lou, innocently visited a popular snack street at Wanda Plaza in Changchun city. Little did she know that this routine outing would turn into a nightmare.
Zhou, the 23-year-old suspect, allegedly deliberately threw eight bricks from the 32nd floor of his rental flat, with one tragically hitting Lou’s head.
The swift and unexpected act left Lou fatally injured, and she was pronounced dead whilst en route to the hospital.
The Disturbing Confession
In a chilling turn of events, Zhou immediately surrendered to the police after committing the heinous act. His confession sent shockwaves through law enforcement, shedding light on a motive that defies comprehension.
Zhou confessed to the police, revealing a disturbing motive. He claimed that he wanted to kill someone indiscriminately to ensure his arrest and subsequent execution.
Initially contemplating taking his own life, he shifted to throwing objects off the high-rise building as an alternative route to the death penalty because he wanted to get executed.
Investigations revealed that before Lou’s tragic death, Zhou had engaged in similar acts of violence. On June 17, he threw various objects, including five-litre bottled water containers, unused drink cans, and bricks from the building, causing 2 people to be injured
The Victim’s Perspective
Lou’s sister spoke out, expressing the family’s anguish over Zhou’s lack of remorse for his actions. Neither Zhou nor his family had offered an apology, compounding the pain for the grieving family.
In a bid for justice, Lou’s family intends to sue the owner of the residential building, the property management company, and those responsible for the street below. They argue that timely intervention from these entities could have prevented the tragedy.
Legal Proceedings and Mental State
The police conducted a psychological evaluation on Zhou where he was found be be mentally stable at the time, and prosecutors are trying to push for Zhou to be sentenced to death, but at the time of writing, the court has yet to come to a judgment yet.
In a heartbreaking incident that unfolded on Monday (4 Dec) at Block 115 Jalan Bukit Merah, a man discovered his elderly brother, Mr. Jiang, lifeless in his HDB flat, according to Shin Min Daily News.
The Discovery
The ordeal began when Mr. Jiang’s brother, unable to reach him by phone earlier in the day at about 6pm, decided to check on his well-being. Little did he know that this visit would lead to a distressing discovery.
Upon entering Mr. Jiang’s home, the brother found him lying motionless on the floor and he called the authorities for help.
Police Investigation
Despite the initial shock, the police arrived and, based on their preliminary findings, ruled out foul play in Mr. Jiang’s untimely demise.
Jiang was found lying outside his bedroom in a pool of what appeared to be blood that had turned brown, but his body had yet to decompose.
Witnesses in the vicinity reported seeing six police cars and a hearse at Block 115. Their observations contribute to the puzzle, prompting speculation about the events leading up to Mr. Jiang’s discovery.
Police investigations into Mr Jiang’s death are currently underway.
Neighbour thought he was sleeping
A neighbour shared that he had passed by the deceased’s home and saw that the front door was open but the inside of the unit was dark.
He later passed by the unit again at about 2pm and saw the deceased with a towel, lying motionless in the living room, but assumed that he was merely sleeping and didn’t think much of it.
Shin Min reporters who arrived at the scene, noted a pool of blood in the unit but didn’t smell any decomposition stenches.
Cheerful
Mr. Jiang’s younger brother shared insights into the deceased’s life, describing him as cheerful and detailing his recent surgery on the liver.
I’ve been dating “A” for 7 1/2 months, and we’ve been exclusive since the beginning. Everything was going well, and it’s the healthiest relationship that I’ve ever been in. We never fought and always treated each other with respect. Sex was great too.
I was more than a year out of a very long relationship when we got together, and I’ve moved on. My ex and I are on friendly terms, but there are no feelings there, at least on my side. But A ended his most serious relationship only 2 months before we met. It sounded like it was toxic and they broke up and got together many times before parting ways. I had a feeling that he wasn’t over her, but it didn’t seem to be a problem for our relationship. I fell in love with him and felt safe and cared for with him.
We met up on Sunday to celebrate Valentine’s Day since I had to work on Monday, and when I walked in I could tell something was off. He said he was really depressed, which I suspected he had been for a while. But he also said that his ex contacted him over the weekend and that it really hit him that he’s not over her. And it made him realize that there is something missing in our relationship. At the same time, he said he cares about me a lot, and does have feelings for me – but they are not the same as his feelings toward her.
I asked if he wants to get back with her and he said he doesn’t know. I asked if he wanted to see me again or to end our relationship that night, and he said he wanted to see me again. I thought we could both use time apart and suggested we meet up this weekend to talk about it.
But I don’t know what to do, and my thoughts are all over the place. I can’t sleep and I can’t eat. I’ve given him nothing but love and treated him well. It hurts so much that he can’t realize what a great thing we have together because he’s still in love with someone who never treated him well (per his own words). At the same time, I know that he didn’t give himself time to get over her when we started dating, and that this is why we’re in this situation now.
I know I probably need to walk away from him for my sanity and let him figure out his life. I feel like if I do walk away, or if he wants to end it, I need to close the door on this relationship permanently and move on, so I don’t end up obsessing over him like he’s doing with his ex.
But I still find myself wanting to try to see if he can somehow work on getting over her while still being with me, if I give him space to feel his feelings for her without judgment or anger, and time to heal. Is that just doomed to fail?
Travel plans often come with the excitement of exploring new destinations, but the journey to get there can be riddled with unexpected challenges. Recently, a young Singaporean content creator, @naploes, took to social media to share her visa application fiasco, shedding light on the intricacies and potential pitfalls in the process.
In a candid 3-and-a-half-minute video, @naploes revealed the shocking discrepancy between the expected and actual cost of her Australian visa. What was supposed to be a routine application turned into a financial setback as she unwittingly paid AUD 192 for a visa that typically costs only $20.
The Alleged Visa Fiasco
The content creator began by recounting her experience, admitting fault for not diligently navigating the visa application process. While eagerly preparing for her upcoming trip to Australia, @naploes found herself on the wrong end of unexpected fees during the checkout stage.
As she filled in her details, the actual cost of the visa unfolded, leaving her in a state of panic. A crucial revelation came when assisting a friend with her application, realizing the omission of vital documents in her own submission. The looming possibility of rejection added a layer of stress to an already anxious situation.
Advice to Followers
In a heartfelt plea to her followers, @naploes stressed the importance of thoroughness when applying for visas. The content creator highlighted the significance of carefully reviewing all information, especially regarding document attachments, to avoid similar costly mistakes.
The Costly Mistake
Unfortunately, the mistake came with its consequences. The inability to cancel or obtain a refund compounded the financial blow. Seeking a refund from the bank posed the risk of jeopardizing future visa applications.
Comparison with Friends’ Experiences
Curious about the drastic difference in fees, @naploes consulted friends who recently traveled to Australia. To her surprise, their visa costs were a fraction of what she had paid. The revelation led to the identification of the root cause of her predicament.
Identification of the Mistake
The realization struck that she had applied for the wrong visa type, one valid for a year but lacking the necessary verification due to missing documents. The error not only jeopardized her travel plans but also impacted a friend who followed suit.
Reflection on the Expensive Mistake
Acknowledging the gravity of her oversight, @naploes admitted to the expensive mistake. Regret lingered as she recounted making her friend pay an exorbitant amount for a visa that should have cost significantly less.
Taking Visa Process for Granted
In a reflective moment, the content creator confessed to taking the visa process for granted in the past, relying on family members to handle the complexities. The experience served as a wake-up call to the stress involved in independent visa applications.
Words of Wisdom
Concluding her cautionary tale, @naploes left her followers with valuable advice. She emphasized the importance of applying for visas early and carefully reading through all details before blindly committing to fees that could far exceed expectations.
In the world of travel, where the thrill of exploration often overshadows the administrative hurdles, @naploes’ story serves as a reminder to approach visa applications with diligence. Learning from her costly mistake, her words echo as a beacon for travelers to navigate the intricate visa landscape more thoughtfully.
Conclusion
Visa applications, though often seen as mere formalities, can conceal unexpected challenges. @naploes’ narrative sheds light on the importance of attention to detail and careful consideration during the application process. Her roller coaster of a visa application journey serves as a cautionary tale for anyone venturing into the realm of international travel.
