GUY SAYS THAT NS MADE HIM ANTI-SOCIAL, BLAMES HIS OWN PARENTS

I’m about a year into NS and I don’t have anyone I can confide to, so I’m doing it here.

Before NS, I was generally very chill and a happy-go-lucky kinda guy. Now, I’m easily irritable and annoyed at every single thing.

I bottle up all the bad emotions and experiences I faced into myself and it’s gotten to a point where I start to vent these very set of emotions onto my parents.

Whenever they are talking to me, I feel uninterested and upset at them for no good reason, and I talk to them in a very annoyed and sarcastic way.

I know deep down that I shouldn’t be talking to them like this but I just can’t control myself anymore.

I have a bunkmate who is a complete jerk. He acts and talks smart every single time but whenever he makes a mistake, he doesn’t admit it.

He has a problem with almost everything I’m doing and I honestly feel I’m going to punch him the next time he acts up again.

Long story short, I’m more anti-social now and I became more wary of others. I feel frustrated every single minute and I don’t like me as a person anymore.

Thanks for reading.

Netizens’ comments

To anyone who is gonna tell OP to man up. Manning up means nothing. Just because OP might be leaning on the edge of being a social pariah doesn’t suggest anything about his masculinity nor his capability to function in a professional setting.

Sure his current behaviour might lead to some concerning issues in the future, but you also need to understand that people react to different environments in their own ways. It is not logical to insinuate that OP’s struggle in NS would lead to a struggle in real life.

If you are successful in Singapore, would you be successful in the western side of the world? No one can say for certain.

In a world where cancel culture is the norm and people’s heightened sensitivities to toxicity is starting to dictate workplace etiquette, do you really think he can learn anything from the realities NS would supposedly instil in him? I’d honestly say, let the kid figure things out on his own.

People who find struggle adapting to the toxicities of such an environment would normally have a significantly better time out there where toxic masculinity tends to be noticed and punished rather than sucked up.

To OP, just try your best to survive. Nothing that happens in NS matters. My best advice would be to limit your social interaction to avoid unnecessary repercussions. I was in a similar position and I found that the less I gave a shit, the less I suffered.

GUY REJECTS CLUB GIRL AFTER SHE TRIES TO SEDUCE HIM

GUY REJECTS CLUB GIRL AFTER SHE TRIES TO SEDUCE HIM

This happened a few years ago.

Single dude at the time, hanging out in a nightclub. The place was pretty crowded when suddenly a group of girls surrounded us. We all acted cool and started dancing with each other, having a good time.

One of the girls approached me and we start having a little chat. At the end of the night, she gave me her number.

We texted for two days, things were going well and we agreed to meet for a drink on a weekday. We go out, have a couple of drinks, get to know each other and stuff and the date was going smoothly. She was a kindergarten teacher (or something like that) and she recently became single too!

It was getting late and we decided to leave so I escort her back to her car. We talk a little more and she asks me to jump in the car – which I did. We make out and eventually we get a little touchy-feely… As the heat was turning up she leans back a bit, gives me a seductive look and asks “Can you talk dirty to me?”.

…Now prepare yourselves for the f up. I think to myself “I must be a considerate and responsible person and I shall not be a bad influence to that girl”. So without freaking hesitation, I reply “No, you must leave, cause you got work early in the morning!” At the time I didn’t even comprehend what I’ve just said or even consider what she was suggesting.

Naturally texting between us died down and eventually we lost contact; and I kept wondering what went wrong. Until one day, a couple of years later my brain started functioning properly and realized my major blunder.

Should I have done it?

MAN PHONE’S GET ROUTED WRONGLY, ANOTHER PERSON PICKS UP THE PHONE

MAN PHONE’S GET ROUTED WRONGLY, ANOTHER PERSON PICKS UP THE PHONE

For a few months now, I’ve gotten quite regular feedback from delivery staff, colleagues, etc etc that when they call me, a lady has been picking up my phone.

The feedback became really regular 2-3 weeks ago, when I was moving in to a new home and had a lot of furniture delivery coming in. Every single delivery staff told me the same thing; that a lady had been picking up the call when they called my number, and she sounded confused about the delivery and was fervently trying to reject or cancel the delivery.

# The investigation

That’s crazy for me to hear, and when they called me in front of me, I do receive the call on my phone. I started to take this more seriously and one night, I asked my wife to call my number.

She dialed my number on her phone… and we waited…

Almost immediately, my mobile phone rang… we let it ring…

After a while, as we were about to hang up… “hello?”

A lady was on the other line. We panicked, and my wife hung up quickly.

I should have suspected something was wrong much earlier; I haven’t been getting spam calls AT ALL ever since I switched to Singtel from MyRepublic. So this poor lady has been getting 2x the amount of spam calls probably.

# Singtel has dropped the ball on this case

I’ve logged the case with Singtel on the 23rd of November… I’ve followed up a few times and it’s been dumb replies from them. Getting pretty frustrated as I’ve missed quite a lot of important calls.

# Any advice?

So… a few key details

  1. I use an iPhone 15 Pro, and an Apple watch.
  2. I have Singtel NumberShare for my Apple watch.
  3. I only have my iPhone and Apple watch on my iCloud account.
  4. On my iPhone “Phone” app, it lists down all the calls I’ve “gotten” but they are mostly listed as “Answered on other device”.
  5. I can’t really switch service provider, because there’s quite a bit to go on my 2 year plan.
  6. I’ve already restarted my phone numerous times, and cancelled call forwarding, call waiting etc etc.

Anyone has any advice? What’s the best way to get Singtel to really pay attention to this case?

DESPERATE FRIEND GETS LOVE SCAM $30K, TILL NOW STILL SENDING HER GIFTS

DESPERATE FRIEND GETS LOVE SCAM $30K, TILL NOW STILL SENDING HER GIFTS

Without going into too much details, he has been talking to this “girl” for the past 1.5 years and has NOT met her before. He’s already given “her” 30k and still doesn’t believe it’s a scam because of things like talking everyday, her buying gifts for him, and a mutual friend (I’m pretty sure e mutual friend is involved in this whole thing). The whole story sounds absurd to me but he buys into it.

Is there anything I can do? Call the police? Inform the family? (Not that the family can do anything?)

P.s. my friend is in his late 20s.

7 months in when he was telling me about this suspicious story I’ve alr warned him and he didn’t believe it — now that 1 year later and 30k is gone and he is still in this “relationship” with her (who would threaten to “kill herself” if he breaks up with her) I truly feel bad if he continue losing his money (which I know he will). But at this point not sure what I can do

Here are what netizens think:

  • The problem is that the “girl” is not the only one lying to him. He is lying to himself. And he will never believe he is a liar.
  • So as a friend there is really nothing I can do and watch him get scammed further? Sigh he even told me “I know how crazy this sounds and if I were you I’d think I’m getting scammed too but I know it’s not” lol
  • He is addicted to the feeling of being in love. He will never face reality because it means destroying that feeling. The cost is too great for him. The desire to be loved is so powerful that some fall for love scams repeatedly.
  • cant save the stupid. They will find out eventually and that’s how they learn their lesson. Some never do and end up bleeding their bank accounts dry to $0 then end up taking loans.
  • I dont know how these stupid scams work but has your friend even had video calls with this “girl”? If not, how the hell is he so convinced he’s even talking to a real person? Maybe ask him this and that. Keep asking him questions till the point where he cant answer back and that’s when doubt will creep into himself

M’SIAN WOMAN IMPORTS SKIN CREAM THAT CONTAINS POISON, 4 MONTH YEAR OLD HOSPITALISED

M’SIAN WOMAN IMPORTS SKIN CREAM THAT CONTAINS POISON, 4 MONTH YEAR OLD HOSPITALISED

In recent months, a shocking incident has emerged from Singapore, shedding light on the potential dangers of unregulated skincare products. The controversy revolves around a Malaysian woman, Chin Sook Yee, who sold a skin cream named Star Cream, claiming it to be a homemade, all-natural solution for various skin types. However, the cream, promoted as steroid-free, contained potent steroids, leading to severe health consequences for unsuspecting consumers.

The Star Cream Controversy

Star Cream, marketed as a safe and natural skincare solution, came under scrutiny when a four-month-old baby was hospitalized for steroid toxicity. Despite being advertised as suitable for infants, the cream had detrimental effects on the baby, resulting in a diagnosis of Cushing’s syndrome – a serious condition caused by prolonged steroid use.

Health Risks and Cushing’s Syndrome

Cushing’s syndrome manifests in distinctive physical symptoms, including a rounded face (“moon face”) and a hump on the back of the neck (“buffalo back”). The affected baby experienced persistent vomiting, abnormal eye alignment, and other indicators of increased brain pressure. Although discharged, the child now requires long-term monitoring for potential side effects.

HSA’s Investigation

The Health Sciences Authority (HSA) played a crucial role in uncovering the truth about Star Cream. Despite claims of being steroid-free, the cream contained synthetic medicinal ingredients, including clobetasol propionate – a potent steroid. HSA collaborated with e-commerce platforms and social media to remove listings, issuing warnings against the sale and use of Star Cream.

Legal Consequences

In November 2023, Chin Sook Yee faced 11 charges for selling poisons without a license, specifically for marketing Star Cream on Shopee. The legal repercussions highlight the seriousness of selling unregulated products, with potential penalties including imprisonment and fines.

Consumer Awareness

This incident underscores the importance of diligent research when choosing skincare products. Consumers should be aware of warning signs and heed advisories from regulatory bodies like HSA, who caution against purchasing creams lacking proper regulation.

Social Media Impact

The impact of social media platforms like Carousell, Shopee, and Facebook cannot be overlooked. Collaborating with HSA, these platforms played a pivotal role in swiftly removing Star Cream listings, preventing further harm.

Regulating Homemade Skincare Products

The incident raises questions about the challenges of regulating homemade products. There’s a pressing need for stricter regulations and monitoring to ensure the safety of consumers in the skincare industry.

The Danger of Unverified Recommendations

Trusting unverified recommendations, as seen in the case of the baby’s parents relying on the confinement nanny’s advice, poses serious risks. It emphasizes the necessity of consulting healthcare professionals before using any skincare product.

Crisis Management and Public Relations

Examining the responses from Star Cream’s seller and HSA provides insights into crisis management. Effective communication during such crises is vital for rebuilding trust in the skincare market.

Preventing Future Incidents

Consumers should exercise caution, researching products thoroughly before purchase. The incident also calls for enhanced regulations and surveillance to prevent similar occurrences in the future.

Chin Sook Yee’s Legal Proceedings

Chin Sook Yee’s legal proceedings highlight the consequences of selling harmful products. The outcome of her case could set a precedent for future instances of unregulated skincare product sales.

Impact on the Industry

Reflecting on this incident’s broader impact on the skincare industry, changes in consumer behavior and initiatives for safer products are expected. The industry must adapt to rebuild trust.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the Star Cream incident serves as a stark reminder of the potential hazards lurking in unregulated skincare products. Consumers must stay vigilant, and regulatory bodies need to strengthen their efforts to ensure the safety of skincare products in the market.

The entire episode was captured on video by an onlooker and shared on the Facebook group 2017不吐不快. Let’s delve into the details of this unusual and concerning event.

Incident Details

The video footage suggests that the incident occurred as the train was en route to Yio Chu Kang MRT station along the North-South line. The person in question made a conspicuous attempt to open the train door using the left panel. When this proved unsuccessful, a more forceful effort was made to pry open the right panel, resulting in the door opening slightly.

Passengers, off-camera, can be heard yelling at the commuter to cease their actions. However, it was only when a fellow passenger intervened, advising the person to “wait for the next stop,” that the attempts to force open the door came to a halt.

Intervention and Aftermath

A photo attached at the end of the video reveals the aftermath, with the commuter lying on the station ground. Two station staff and three officers from the Public Transport Security Command (TransCom) can be seen addressing the situation at Ang Mo Kio MRT station.

Possible Motives

While the motive behind such an act remains unclear, there could be various reasons prompting such behavior. Speculation might include issues related to mental health or other personal challenges faced by the individual.

Commuter Safety Measures

This incident emphasizes the importance of following safety measures on public transportation. Passengers are reminded to adhere to guidelines and report any suspicious behavior to authorities promptly.

Impact on Commuters

Such incidents not only pose a direct threat but also create a sense of unease among fellow commuters. It underscores the collective responsibility passengers have in ensuring the safety of themselves and others during their journeys.

Legal Consequences

Attempting to force open an MRT train door is a serious offense with potential legal repercussions. Interfering with public transport not only endangers the perpetrator but also jeopardizes the safety of everyone on board.

Social Media Reaction

Unsurprisingly, the video garnered attention on social media platforms, sparking discussions and reactions. Comments from users expressed concern, shock, and curiosity about the motives behind such a daring act.

Public Transport Security

The involvement of officers from the Public Transport Security Command (TransCom) highlights the commitment to maintaining security on public transportation. Commuters can be reassured that measures are in place to address and prevent such incidents.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the incident of attempting to force open an MRT train door serves as a stark reminder of the unexpected events that can unfold during daily commutes. It reinforces the need for vigilance, adherence to safety measures, and the collective responsibility of passengers. By staying alert and promptly reporting any suspicious activities, commuters contribute to ensuring a safe and secure public transportation environment.

COVID CASES IN SINGAPORE DOUBLE TO 22,094 IN NOVEMBER

COVID CASES IN SINGAPORE DOUBLE TO 22,094 IN NOVEMBER

In a recent statement on December 2, the Ministry of Health (MOH) in Singapore sounded an alarm as the number of Covid-19 cases doubled, reaching 22,094 from 10,726 in just one week, spanning from November 19 to 25, 2023. Despite this surge, MOH assures the public that average daily hospitalizations and ICU cases have remained stable.

Understanding the Subvariants Landscape

The majority of local cases, around 70%, are attributed to the EG.5 and its sub-lineage HK.3 predominant subvariants, as of November 23. MOH explains that this spike can be linked to the year-end traveling season and the decreasing population immunity. It’s crucial to note that this surge is not indicative of increased transmissibility or severity of the subvariants compared to other circulating variants.

Factors Contributing to the Surge

Year-end travel season, coupled with waning population immunity, has been identified as major contributors to the sudden increase. While respiratory illnesses are on the rise globally, MOH reassures that overall cases in Singapore have remained stable.

Clarifications from MOH

MOH takes a moment to clarify that there’s no evidence suggesting the new subvariants are more transmissible or cause more severe diseases compared to other circulating variants. This clarification is essential to curb misinformation and unnecessary panic.

Vaccination Recommendations

As a precautionary measure, MOH advises the public to keep up with Covid-19 vaccinations. Additionally, an extra dose, recommended around one year after the last vaccine, is encouraged for individuals aged 60 and above, medically vulnerable persons, residents of aged care facilities, and individuals aged six months and above, particularly healthcare workers and caregivers.

Global Perspective: Respiratory Illnesses on the Rise

In light of the surge, MOH draws attention to the increase in respiratory illnesses among children and adolescents in China. The World Health Organisation (WHO) notes that these circulating respiratory pathogens, including influenza, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), Mycoplasma pneumoniae, and adenovirus, are not unusual.

Stay Updated with Vaccinations

To navigate these challenging times, MOH emphasizes the importance of staying updated with vaccinations. The public is encouraged to be vigilant, particularly those falling under the recommended groups for additional doses.

Conclusion

In conclusion, while the surge in Covid-19 cases is concerning, MOH’s proactive measures and clarifications provide a sense of direction. Vigilance, adherence to vaccination guidelines, and staying informed are key to collectively overcoming this challenging period.

GIRL DATES GOOD LOOKING GUY THAT DON’T WANT TO SETTLE DOWN, SEEKS ADVICE

GIRL DATES GOOD LOOKING GUY THAT DON’T WANT TO SETTLE DOWN, SEEKS ADVICE

I(30f) have been dating a guy(35m) whom I get to know through a dating app 2 years ago. He is the kind of ideal guy that every girl wants – humourous, good looking and works as an SWE earning $8k/mth.

He is also very caring and I must say he is really great on bed.

However, even after 2 years, our relationship has never been official. He has never introduced me to his friends and parents. What I find even more puzzling is that our dates are always on weekday nights, as he reserves his weekends are for his studies (self study coding) and parents. Am I not part of his family? I have always asked him for an explanation but he will brush me off by saying I should be mature and understand his priorities.

I am enjoying the time spent with him and want to settle down quickly as I’m already entering my early thirties. Should I move on and not waste my youth on him?

Here are what netizens think:

  • You sound really naive. Either you don’t have much dating experience or you choose to close your eyes to all the red flags that you are just someone he sleeps with with no commitment.
  • 2 yrs of “dating” but never been out on wkends b4 is already a big red flag.Men who are serious with you, will definitely rush you to meet their parents.Those couldn’t be bothered type, are definitely not into marriage at all.Move on~~
  • Seriously for the past 2 years? Omg! When i read the meet up only on weekdays night. He is most probably he has a family, a married man. For me, if a relationship over 3 months, and i still don’t know his friends and family, i will not continue and stay.Please find out soon, ask him to bring you to see his parents. So, whether to stay or leave is your choice.
  • He is telling her wife and children the same thing. I have to work late on the weekdays to complete my project so that I can spend time with you during the weekends.

GIRL ENJOYS IT WHEN HER BF SLAPS HER IN THE FACE WHILE “DOING IT”

GIRL ENJOYS IT WHEN HER BF SLAPS HER IN THE FACE WHILE “DOING IT”

I let my boyfriend slap me in the face when we get intimate, even though it’s triggering.

I had to tell someone. I had to write this one down or something. It feels messed up for me to enjoy it because it’s literally so so degrading and just reminds me of all the times in life that my parents physically hit me as a child.

It’s so messed up why do I like it??? I love calling him daddy and letting him slap me in the face.

The first time he did it I almost cried because it was so triggering but something came over me later on down the road in our relationship and now I just want him to do it all the time.

This is so weird imma just leave this one here. Feel free to roast.

I also feel like I need to put this out there, but my boyfriend is not in any way shape or form mistreating me. I have given him permission to do this and he also likes being slapped as well lol.

I worked through a lot of my daddy issues but feel okay with calling my bf daddy because I don’t really make that connection I just think it’s hot af and he likes it so why not?

If anything the physical trauma I experienced all came from mom. She would shame me for the clothes I wore and would always tell me to “cover myself” because there are grown men around.

She called me names many many times and I’m sure there are plenty of women who can relate to this kind of treatment from their mother. She would get physical with me ALL THE TIME.

Netizens’ comments

  • I was kind of that same way, but I was getting too mentally confused by it so during intimacy I’d tell him where to slap me and that gave me the control of it and the pleasure of it but without it being my face. Something about it not being the specific place that triggers (the face) made it feel better.
  • It’s a trauma response like someone in the comments said. As a child, I was repeatedly whipped whenever I stepped out of line. Slapped, whipped, etc. It’s traumatic and I feel so weird because I really like when my boyfriend slaps and grabs me. I don’t like pain or anything but feeling like he’s in control is kinda nice sometimes.
  • A lot of people develop kinks as a result of trauma. It’s a way for our brain to process what happened to us and help us experience similar things while having control, since it’s consensual. 

COUPLE WRESTLING IN BED, GIRL STARTS CRYING THEN BF LAUGHS AT HER

COUPLE WRESTLING IN BED, GIRL STARTS CRYING THEN BF LAUGHS AT HER

A woman shared how she was play fighting and wrestling with her boyfriend on the bed when she suddenly started crying and her boyfriend then laughed at her.

here is the story

My boyfriend laughed at me while I was crying.

My BF (35m) and I (25f) have been together for 3 years. We often rough house with each other. Like fake wrestling and stuff. Sometimes there’s light choking but never anything like real choking.

Last night we were wrestling on the bed and he choked me but out of nowhere I started to cry. I have no idea why.

I wasn’t scared or anything it just happened out of nowhere and he didn’t do it any differently than usual.

While I was having a genuine reaction he was laughing at me the whole time. I told him how mad I was he was laughing at me.

His words were I’m not going to entertain that kind of insane behavior. I feel like a normal person would ask what happened or if I was OK. They wouldn’t laugh at me and invalidate my feelings.

I often feel like my feelings are invalidated. It’s something I’d like to fix but I’m not sure that’s possible. This is mostly just a rant because I don’t have anyone I can talk to.
