MAN GOES AROUND TELLING HE OWNS A MASSAGE SHOP IN BANGKOK, BUT HIS POOR AF

0

my friends believed him but I kept my distance. Not long after, he want my friend to borrow him money which he agreed and he ended up going missing.

Sitting at the bar, I was sipping my beer and talking with my friend when we were approached by a seemingly friendly man. He said he had just moved here from Bangkok, and was eager to make some new friends.

We welcomed him to join us and within minutes, he was already bragging about the massage shop he owned in Bangkok. He said he was a multi-millionaire, everyone got excited but I really don’t care la.

The man had a certain charisma that made him both likable and intriguing. He was always smiling, and he had a way of making everyone around him feel important. I kept my distance, however. Something about him just didn’t seem right.

After a few drinks, he asked my friend if he could borrow some money. My friend, already taken in by the man’s charm and wealth, agreed and handed him a large sum of cash.

The next day, the man disappeared. We searched everywhere for him, but it was like he had vanished into thin air. We were all worried, and wondered what had happened to him.

Weeks later, we found out that the man had been lying about owning a massage shop in Bangkok. He had been using people for money, and had run off with my friend’s cash. We were all shocked and disappointed.

It’s been a few years since that fateful night, and I still think about the man. I can only hope that he found a better life, and that he has learned his lesson. It was a hard lesson for us all, but one that I won’t forget.

MAN SUPPORTS FRIEND BUY INSURANCE, INJURED CANT CLAIM, FRIEND GOES MIA

0

As a young man, I always thought of myself as a loyal friend who would go the extra mile to support his loved ones.

I was recently reminded of this when my best friend of over 10 years, John (not real name), announced that he had just started working as an insurance agent.

John had been struggling to find a job after uni and had finally landed his dream job. He asked me if I could support him by buying an insurance policy from him. Even though I wasn’t looking to buy an insurance policy, I wanted to be supportive of my friend’s career and so I agreed. I bought a policy from him and was ready to reap its benefits.

Little did I know that it would all be for nothing. About six months down the road, I got injured in an accident. I had to hospitalize myself and was in need of some much-deserved financial aid. I expected my insurance policy to provide me with the coverage I needed, but it didn’t.

When I approached my friend for help, I was shocked to learn that my claim was rejected due to some paperwork issues. I was frustrated and disappointed, but I was even more surprised to find out that John had gone missing. I had no idea why he had suddenly disappeared.

I tried to call and text him multiple times but to no avail. His phone was off and he wasn’t replying to my emails. I was so frustrated with the situation that I was about to give up on him and move on with my life.

But then I realized how loyal I had been to him in the past. I had always supported him and he had never let me down before. So I decided to give him one more chance and tried to reach out to him one last time.

Finally, after weeks of trying to get in touch with him, I finally got a reply. He told me that he was sorry for not being in contact and that he was dealing with some personal issues. He also said that he would try to help me out with the paperwork and make sure that my insurance claim was approved.

But talk is cheap, I had to call the company to reassign my policy to another agent to do my claims. The insurance company told me that John has been kicked out of the agency after several similar complains.

Knn, support what support all these are nonsense.

MAN QUITS HIS JOB BECAUSE WIFE GO WORK FOR THE SAME COMPANY AS HIM

0

I remember the day that I quit my job like it was yesterday. It was a day of mixed emotions and I knew that the decision I had made was the right one.

I go home I see her I don’t want to see her in the company as well

It all started when my wife decided to take a job at the same company I worked for. I knew that it could be difficult, but I was willing to try. Unfortunately, as soon as she started working there, it was nothing but quarrels. We had both been working in the same office for a few weeks when she saw me having a meeting with a female colleague and started accusing me of cheating.

It was very annoying. I was just doing my job and I could not take it anymore. I had been working at that company for a few years and had made some great friends, but I knew that the situation was no longer sustainable and that it was time for me to move on.

I had been thinking about quitting my job for a while, but I was scared of the unknown. I was also scared of disappointing my family and friends who had supported me throughout my career. But I knew that if I wanted to save my marriage, I had to take the leap of faith.

So, I went in and handed in my resignation letter. It was a difficult decision, but I was relieved when it was done. I knew that I was doing the right thing and that I was taking control of my life.

The next few weeks were difficult. I had to adjust to not having a job and having to depend on my wife for financial support. But I also knew that I had made the right decision and that I was doing the best thing for my marriage.

It has now been a few months since I quit my job, and I can honestly say that it was one of the best decisions I ever made.

Sometimes it is not good to work together with your wife or husband in the same company.

AH BENG INTERIOR DESIGNERS, RENOVATE HALFWAY DISAPPEAR, CIG BUTT LEFT BEHIND

Nowadays in Singapore there are alot of ex-gangster interior designers that open up a company and offers renovation for HDB owners, but they always end up screwing up the job. I was a victim, my house was renovated halfway and the man went MIA with my deposit

All that is left behind are some materials and a cigarette butt.

I recently decided to renovate my HDB apartment. With a tight budget, I looked for a company to do the job. I came across a company called ‘Jing Ge Renovation’ and their propsal looked promising. It said that they would do the job within my budget and even quoted a reasonable price for the materials.

Little did I know that the owner of the company was a chao ah beng. I found out about it when I met him for the first time. He had a rough and intimidating look, and I could tell he had a shady past. But he was quite friendly and assured me he would do a good job. I had no choice but to believe him and hired him.

He and his team of workers came to my place and started the renovation. Everything went smoothly at first, but then things started to go wrong. The workers started cutting corners, using cheap materials, and taking shortcuts. I noticed that the quality of the work was subpar, but I was already deep into the project.

When I asked the beng about it, he assured me that it was all part of the process and that the quality of the work would improve. But it never did. I started to suspect that the owner was trying to scam me.

Soon enough, the workers stopped showing up and the owner went missing. I was left with the half-renovated apartment and a lot of materials that were not even used. To make matters worse, I found out that the owner had taken my deposit.

I was devastated.

At that point, I knew that this was not just a case of shoddy workmanship. It was a scam. I reported the case to the police and they say civil matter. It turns out that this was not the first time the owner had done this. He had scammed many other HDB owners before me and had been getting away with it.

But I still had no hope of getting my deposit back. I was left with a half-renovated apartment and a lot of materials that were not even used. To make matters worse, I found a cigarette butt on the floor. It was a reminder of the shady past of the chao ah beng owner of the company.

I was able to finish the renovation with the help of my family and friends, but I still feel cheated by the ah beng. I had no idea that ex-gangsters could be interior designers and that they could use their skills to scam innocent people. I learned my lesson and will be more careful in the future.

No matter how good something looks on the surface, it is always important to do your research and make sure you are dealing with someone who is trustworthy. It is not worth the risk of being scammed.

PASIR RIS MIXED VEGE STALL: $10.20 FOR 3 VEGE 1 FISH, GO ROB BETTER

Kimly Mixed Rice stall @ Kimly coffeeshop

— Pasir Ris Drive 6, Blk 444

Dropped by stall operated by Kimly Group today, 21st FEB 2023 (TUE), to buy a packet of Cai Fan for dinner.

Added the following to plain rice:

• 1 slice of fish

• bok choy (小白菜)

• long beans

• tofu strips

Was charged $10.20!

I understand inflation is high & the 1% GST hike has kicked in. But $10.20 for 1 fish + 3 veggies????

That’s like Ion Orchard or Taka’s foodcourt prices!

Ohh, I forgot to mention: I found 1 tiny prawn (refer to pic)

After my initial disbelief, I returned to the stall to ask for a receipt. Guy I approached opened up packet & stared at food for some time before asking a colleague if I was charged correctly. This colleague then started shouting at the top of his lungs the breakdown at the very crowded coffeeshop. I promptly told him that I just wanted a receipt.

I’ve patronised this stall for awhile now & this is what I’ve discovered: I could be charged $5 on Day 1 & $9 the next day for ordering the same food.

It all depends on which guy is taking my order!

I also like to add that prices at coffeeshops/foodcourts/hawker centre in PASIR RIS is arguably the most expensive (if not the MOST expensive) among heartland neighbourhoods in SG. I can attest to that as I travel around our island on a constant basis due to the nature of my job.

Shame on Kimly & some of their staff.

Here are what netizens think:

  • Did not check the pricing when u are ordering? I guess the long beans fried with mince meat cos this will be charge under meat dishes ! Fish $4-$6 per slice is common lah especially if steam fish they have to get fresh ones daily if fried ones they get frozen fish will be cheaper
  • May want to check the price before ordering the fish. I usually do that to avoid heart attack…
  • Food at Punggol and pasir ris are expensive
  • sometime must check properly, I order 3 veg , end up owner told me 2 of the veg inside got minced meat so charge 2 meat 1 veg,

MAN DRAWS $3K PLUS A MTH, GIVES WIFE $300 & EXPECTS HER TO PAY FOR EVERY THING

0

Hi guys, does anyone know if divorce is possible if only one of the party wants it?

Context:

My parents have been married for more than 20 years, but their relationship is not ideal.

Here are some of the conditions in my family:

  • father works a full time job, drawing 3-4k every month but only pays my mother $300
  • he does not pay any utility bill, mother pays for his phone bill
  • used to gamble, not sure about now (always broke for some reason, despite the salary and not contributing much), even after inheriting $10k recently from my grandfather
  • always asking my mother for money (sometimes indirectly such as asking her to eat at different places, while expecting her to pay 100% of the time)
  • throws temper when he don’t get his way (if mother objects to dining out etc)
  • recently broke his phone and expects my mother to buy him a new one

For additional information, they have not shared the same room for about 10 years now.

Sick of how my mother puts up with his entitlement and suffers for him

I am tired of seeing my mother having to suffer with him, with his entitlement and lack of responsibility. While I agree that my mother spoilt him, his character was always this rotten even according to my relatives.

My mom is worried about divorcing because she is scared that my grandparents will be hurt, and that I will have an incomplete family, even though I don’t mind.

Can someone share an insight on the procedure? I’m pretty sure he will object to it, therefore I need to know if it is possible if it is one sided, and what will the aftermath be.

STRANGER WOMAN LIES ON MAN’S SHOULDER ON MRT, NETIZEN ASK THEM TO BTO

0

What to do if a woman rests her head on your shoulder while sleeping on the MRT?

Just wanted to know what was I to do because I wanted to minimise as much physical contact with her as possible (uk to avoid allegations of harassment or what not).

So I just got up and out of my seat leaving her to suddenly wake up after her head had nothing to rest onto anymore. Felt kind of bad to disturb a sleeping person like that but also feels wrong if a female rests her head on your shoulder like that…

Here are what netizens think

  • It happened to me last time. So what I did was, telling another female whom is awake and saw the whole situation and requesting her to exchange the seats with me. That way I avoided the potential of being called harassment even though its not my fault. In addition, the lady can sleep peacefully without much disturbance. Thankfully the lady whom I contacted with, willingly helped a bro out. Heng uh.
  • Start planning the wedding and think of where you want to BTO.

    But fr, everyone is fighting their own battles and while it’s understandable you’d want to avoid any unnecessary issues about harressment and all that, you can just stay still or gently tap her on the shoulder to let her know. Pretty sure she’ll be more embarrassed than you.

    End of the day, if you can choose, always choose to be kind.
  • Happened to me before, some student fell asleep onto my shoulder. I made sure to put my hands as far in front of me as possible so nobody can claim I am touching her. Then let her sleep until my stop.
  • I’m a woman but I think it’s kinda F’d up we’re living in a time now where if guys (or any person for that matter) just want to tap someone’s shoulder to get them to move, they face the risk of being reported. Meanwhile she gets to sleep on your shoulder and that’s “okay”

KIND GRAB DRIVER ACCEPTS RINGGIT AS PAYMENT FOR WOMAN WHO FORGOT TO BRING SGD

A video was recently uploaded on social media showing a lady making payment on the Grab that she was taking.

Paid uncle in ringgit as she did not have Singapore dollars

According to the video, the Grab fee was SGD 24 and the woman who recorded the video showed that she passed RM 100 (SGD 30.06) as payment to the uncle because she had forgotten to bring Singapore Dollars with her.

The uncle accepted the payment for the Grab fare in Ringgit out of goodwill and was seen trying to figure out how much change to give her.

However, the woman only asked the uncle for SGD 2 change back for her Grab fare and apologised to the uncle for causing him the inconvenience.

The uncle also explained to her that Grab cars do not have credit card terminals inside the car and said that only taxis have credit card terminals in them.

He also told her the location of the ATMs at her drop off point and urged her to go and withdraw some cash so that she could use it and not cause any inconvenience to herself

Here are what netizens think

  • What is accidentally ONLY brought?
  • Uncle sayang little girl
  • Haaaaaa???? 100Rm just get $S2??? After minus Grab fare of $24?

TIKO UNCLE ALLEGEDLY SPOTTED TAKING VIDEOS OF GIRL @ CLEMENTI MRT

A video was recently uploaded onto social media by a netizen who claimed that a uncle was secretly recording videos of girls at Clementi MRT on 9 March 2023 at around 9am.

The uncle was seen holding his phone near his face pretending to be on a call while walking a few rounds but was allegedly taking videos of girls at the station.

He then started his pretense by talking on the phone, probably realising that he was spotted by someone.

CLUB GETS RAIDED BY M’SIAN POLICE AFTER THAI GIRL SHOWS OFF RM500,000 FLOWER,

Previously photos of a Thai girl showing off photos of her receiving flower garlands in a Johor Thai disco went viral.

Bad publicity

The post got viral on all forms of social media and of course, it attracted the attention of local authorities. Photos and videos of the raid has been shared on social media and a number of netizens said “Show off some more la, now all go lock up eat cell food”

Stacks of Thailand passports on the stage

There are two kinds of publicity- good and bad. Obviously, the club drew the short end of the stick after the Thai DJ posted photos of her getting RM300k + RM200K = RM500,000 worth of flower garlands on stage.

A number of Thai girls detained

A whole lorry of them were detained by officers and they were escorted up a large police truck

1 min of fame before getting raided

A video of the incident was shared on the Siam Bu’s Facebook profile

Look at how proud and happy she is after receiving a disgusting amount of tips, It’s as if she is receiving an Oscar or Emmy award.

Oh Yeah, of course, an Emmy or Oscar for her excellent skills in casting as “Siam Bu GF, Love You Nong time, GF Effect”.

Why are men so willing to spend so much money for Thai girls in Thai discos?

Thai discos have long been known as a destination for men to meet and spend time with Thai girls. For many, the idea of spending large amounts of money to buy drinks, gifts, and other services from a Thai girl is a dream come true. Men are often willing to spend a lot of money for these experiences because of the perceived benefit.

First, many men are drawn to the experience of socializing and partying with a beautiful Thai girl. There is a certain allure that comes with spending time with someone who is exotic and different, and this can be a major draw. In addition, the chance to show off their wealth and status in the company of a Thai girl is a major draw for many men. The idea of being able to buy drinks and gifts for someone they care about is often a huge bonus.

Second, many men feel as though they are able to escape their normal lives for a few hours and let loose. The atmosphere of a Thai disco is often quite different from what many men are used to back home, and this can be a major draw for those looking for a change of pace.
