WOMAN FINDS HUGE METAL SCREW INSIDE HER SPAGHETTI FROM JOLLIBEE @ LUCKY PLAZA

0

A customer who patronised the Jollibee outlet at Lucky Plaza, had apparently found a huge metal screw that was bent, inside her Spaghetti on Wednesday (15 March).

She was dining in with her daughter at the time when she found the foreign object, and she said that had her daughter eaten it, things would’ve taken a different and severe turn for the worst.

The woman took to her Instagram on Thursday (16 March) to highlight the discovery, sharing a photo of the bent metal screw inside their food.

She said that she felt horror at finding the screw, and doesn’t even want to imagine the scenario of her accidentally feeding her daughter the metal screw for dinner, which she says gives her anxiety until now.

Here is what she said on her Instagram

Screw that we found inside our JOLLIBEE SPAGHETTI purchased at LUCKY PLAZA BRANCH last Wednesday (March 15).

You cannot imagine the horror any parent would feel knowing that I could have mistakenly fed my daughter a piece of screw for dinner.

This still gives me anxiety up until now. I don’t even want to imagine that scenario. We were just grateful that I found that screw. Thank God.

I’m torn whether or not I should post this because his concerns a Filipino brand that is very closet o my heart. I also don’t want to jeopardise the livelihood of the people who works for that restaurant as this incident is a rare occurrence.

However I feel socially responsible to inform the public to be cautious when dining at that specific fast food chain.

Mix your spaghetti well. Check for spare parts.

However, I want to reach out to the management of Jollibee Singapor so I can formally send my complaint and to the appropriate government agency to investigate this incident.

Food handling and food safety is a serious matter.

USELESS COLLEAGUE THINKS HE’S THE SMARTEST BECAUSE HE MORE SENIOR & EXPERIENCED

0

I had been working with my colleague for a few months now and it had become very clear to me that he was completely useless.

He was a senior, which meant that despite the lack of actual work he was doing, he was still in charge.

Thinks because he is more senior and experienced he is smarter than everyone

He felt like he was entitled to a certain level of respect and appreciation that he just wasn’t getting from the rest of the team.

He had been assigned to a project that was supposed to be completed by a certain date, but he was dragging his feet and making hardly any progress. He was always making excuses and blaming other people for his lack of progress.

Every time someone was brave enough to confront him on his lack of productivity, he would just brush it off and say that he was smarter than everyone else and that they should just trust his judgement.

It was frustrating to watch, and it was even more frustrating to be stuck working with him. I had tried to talk to him about his lack of progress, but he just ignored me or came up with some sort of excuse.

It was clear that he thought he was smarter than everyone else and that he didn’t need to actually do any work.

Eventually, the project fell apart and my colleague was blamed for its failure. Everyone else was shocked, but I wasn’t surprised.

I had seen this coming from the beginning, and I knew that it was only a matter of time before his incompetence caught up with him.

The sad thing is that he still thinks he is smarter than everyone else. Despite the fact that his lack of effort and productivity had cost the company a significant amount of money and time, he still believes that he is the smartest person in the room.

It’s a shame, really, because he could have been a great asset to the company if he had just put in more effort.

Unfortunately, he was too busy thinking he was smarter than everyone else and it cost us all in the end.

MUM & BABY STUCK INSIDE TOILET FOR 3 HRS AFTER LOCK BROKE @ BEDOK HOMETEAM

0

A 30-year-old woman, Mrs Low, and her baby were trapped inside a nursing room at HomeTeamNS Bedok Reservoir for almost 3 hours on Monday after the lock dislodged.

She was with her husband getting takeaway dinner there when she needed to nurse her baby, before going into a nursing room with her baby on the second floor at about 7.30 pm while her husband waited outside.

However, when she was done and tried to leave the nursing room, she realised that the door is stuck.

Her 32-year-old husband then hurriedly went to the clubhouse staff for help and a representative from the management office then arrived and told him that they didn’t have the master key for the door.

Turns out the master key was with an external vendor at the time because they were previously performing minor rectification work on the alignment of the door.

The vendor later arrived with the master about 1 hour after Mrs Low had gone into the nursing room, but it failed to work because the locking mechanism was jammed.

They then tried other ways of opening the door to free the trapped mother and child, including attempting to saw the lock open.

Mr Low said that he had initially thought that they would bring in power tools, but they brought a metal saw instead, and it didn’t work. He added that they also tried to use a metal ruler to cut open the door.

The door also couldn’t be dismantled and taken apart because it had to be done from the inside.

Left with no other options, the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) was called in at about 9.40 pm and they arrived within 5 minutes and opened the door with their tools in 15 minutes.

Low said that luckily he was outside at the time, “if there was no one around, how would anyone know if there’s someone stuck inside?”

Following the incident, Low said that his wife has been having nightmares occasionally and developed a phobia of going into enclosed spaces, such as lifts.

A spokesperson for HomeTeamNS said that the lock on the door had gotten dislodged and that it was the first time that something like this happened. They added that the lock had not been faulty before the incident.

An emergency contact has since been placed inside the nursing room by the management, with the nursing room doors also being replaced by a “more user-friendly” option.

They also added that they will “continue to revise and strengthen our internal procedures to prevent the occurrence of similar incidents”.

MAN HAVE CRUSH ON SCHOOL MATE’S MOTHER, SAYS SHE IS AN ANGEL FROM HEAVEN

0

I have a crush on my school mate’s mother. She is like an angel that fell from heaven. I know it is not possible between us, but I cannot seem to stop thinking about her.

She is the prettiest woman I have ever seen, better than my mum

I have been in love before, but nothing like this. When I first saw her, I was mesmerized by her beauty. I was immediately drawn to her. I couldn’t take my eyes off of her.

The more I got to know her, the more I realized what a kind and caring person she was. She was always making sure her son was taken care of and she was always willing to lend a helping hand to anyone in need.

She had a genuine warmth that radiated from her. I couldn’t help but be drawn to her.

I knew it was wrong to have feelings for her. After all, she was my school mate’s mother. He was like a brother to me and I couldn’t bring myself to do anything that would hurt him or his mother.

I tried to push my feelings aside, but it was impossible. I thought about her all the time and I was constantly looking for excuses to go to my school mate’s house and talk to her.

I knew my feelings for her were not going to lead to anything. I was aware that it was not possible for us to be together. But I couldn’t seem to stop myself from having these feelings. I was completely in love with this woman and I couldn’t do anything about it.

I know it is wrong, but I can’t help but feel a certain connection with her. She is like an angel that fell from heaven and I know that I will never be able to have a relationship with her. But I can’t seem to stop thinking about her.

It’s been a few months since I have seen her and my feelings have only grown stronger. I have accepted that I will never get to be with her, but I can’t help but still dream of a future where we can be together.

I know it is wrong, but I can’t seem to stop myself from having these feelings. I have accepted that I will never get to be with her, but I will always have a special place in my heart for her.

0

A 22-year-old man was allegedly stabbed in the early hours of Friday along Aliwal Street in Kampong Gelam, and 2 suspects have since been arrested.

The Singapore Police Force (CPF) in a statement that they were alerted to the incident on Friday (17 March) at about 2.57am.

When officers arrived at the scene, the victim was found with lacerations on his right chest and was sent to Tan Tock Seng Hospital conscious.

The two male suspects who allegedly stabbed the victim, aged 22 and 23, were identified by police officers through follow up investigations and the use of police and CCTV cameras.

They were subsequently arrested and will be charged in court today (18 March) for voluntarily causing grievous hurt by dangerous weapon under Section 326 of the Penal Code. If found guilty, they face either life imprisonment of imprison for up to 15 years with caning and/or a fine.

The Singapore Police Force added that “the Police take a zero tolerance approach towards such acts of violence and will not hesitate to take action against those who blatantly disregard the law.”

Violent crimes in Singapore

Singapore is widely known for its safety and low crime rate. However, like any other country, Singapore does have incidents of violent crime, including stabbing cases.

According to the Singapore Police Force’s Annual Crime Brief, the number of reported cases of stabbing and related offenses in 2020 decreased by 21.4% compared to the previous year. However, that does not mean that the issue of stabbing is not a concern for the government and the public.

In response to these incidents, the Singapore government has implemented stringent laws and regulations to ensure public safety.

For instance, the Penal Code of Singapore states that anyone who commits murder or voluntary causing grievous hurt by dangerous weapons, including knives and sharp objects, shall be punished with life imprisonment or death.

Additionally, carrying any weapon or sharp object in a public place without a valid reason is considered an offense in Singapore, and those found guilty may face imprisonment and fines.

Moreover, community engagement and awareness play an essential role in reducing the number of stabbing incidents in Singapore. The Singapore Police Force collaborates with grassroots organizations and volunteers to conduct outreach programs and campaigns that promote safe and harmonious neighborhoods. The community is encouraged to report any suspicious or violent behavior to the police and to intervene if they witness any acts of violence.

MAN WHO WORK FOR 20 YEARS SAY EVERY INDUSTRY ALSO ‘DIRTY’, NOTHING CLEAN

0

I had been working in the corporate world for almost two decades when I realized something. I had been working in industries ranging from finance to tech, and in each and every one of them I had encountered the same thing.

Every industry had its own level of dirtiness, and nothing was clean.

It was eye-opening to see how different industries could be so different and yet have the same level of dirtiness. I had been working in finance for a long time, and I had seen it firsthand. From shady deals to kickbacks, it was all there.

The same could be said for the tech industry. From data manipulation to embezzlement, it was all there.

The thing that really hit me was how these industries were all so interconnected. I had seen deals that involved multiple companies in different industries, and it was clear that they were all trying to take advantage of each other. It was a closed system, and it seemed like there was no way to break out of it.

I had also come to understand that this was all part of the game. Every industry had its own set of rules, and it was up to the players to play by them. That meant that if you wanted to get ahead, you had to be willing to play dirty. It was a harsh reality, but it was the way that things worked.

It was at this point that I realized that no industry was clean.

Every industry had its own level of dirtiness, and it was up to the players to decide which level they were willing to accept. Sure, some players were able to stay on the high road and make a good living, but for the most part, the dirtiness was something that had to be accepted.

The thing that really struck me was how this dirtiness had become so ingrained in the system. It seemed like it was just part of the way that things worked, and no one was able to do anything about it. It was a depressing realization, but it was also something that I had to accept if I wanted to stay in the corporate world.

It had been a long journey of learning and understanding, but I had come to understand that no industry was clean. Every industry had its own level of dirtiness, and it was up to the players to decide which level they were willing to accept. It was a harsh reality, but it was the way that things worked.

MAN SAY WHY BUY A $800K HDB WHEN YOU CAN BUILD A CASTLE IN THAILAND

0

As a man, I often find myself asking the question: why buy a $800K HDB flat when I can build a castle in Thailand instead?

This is a valid question given the current market conditions and the myriad of options available to those of us looking to buy a property.

When it comes to making a decision on where to purchase a property, every person has different needs and preferences.

For some, the idea of living in luxury is the ultimate goal, while for others it is simply about finding the best value for their money. With the rising cost of HDB flats, there has never been a better time to consider the alternative of finding a better option in Thailand or Malaysia.

19 Million Thai Baht mansion (SGD$746,000)

This is a real listing in northern Thailand, cooling weather some more.

3 buildings Consisting of
1. Big house, 5 bedrooms, 6 bathrooms
2. Guest house with 1 bedroom (open type) 3 bathrooms with swimming pool Parking garage + room
3. Maid’s house + kitchen + bathroom + garage

3 buildings!!!! If you buy a 4 room in Toa Payoh its even more expensive than this!!!

When it comes to the cost of buying a cost in Thailand, there are several factors to consider. Firstly, the cost of land in Thailand is relatively low compared to other countries, which makes it an attractive option for those looking to purchase a property. Secondly, the construction costs in Thailand are also relatively low, making it a cost-effective option when it comes to building a property. Finally, depending on the location and size of the house, the cost of building a house in Thailand can range from a few hundred thousand to several million dollars.

The cost of building a house in Thailand is significantly lower than purchasing an HDB flat in Singapore, which makes it an attractive option for those looking to invest in a property. In addition to the cost savings, building a house in Thailand also offers a number of other benefits. For example, the location of the property is likely to be much more private and secluded than that of an HDB flat. This means that the owner of the property will be able to enjoy complete privacy, which is something that is not always possible in Singapore.

Furthermore, building a house in Thailand can also offer potential buyers the opportunity to customise the design of the property to their own preferences. This means that the owner can create a unique property that is tailored to their own needs and tastes. Additionally, the owner of the property will also be able to choose the materials used in the construction of the house, which can be beneficial in terms of both cost and aesthetics.

GIRL WHO IS 105KG & 1.6M TALL CLAIMS SHE HAS ANOREXIA

0

I am in a state of shock. My friend, who is 1.6m tall and 105kg, just told me she has anorexia. I don’t know if she was joking or not, but she sounded really serious.

I don’t know if she is trolling me but she sounds like she was not joking. She made it sound like she wants me to accept her as my gf as she will “eventually” slim down

I know anorexia is a serious mental health issue, but this seems too unbelievable. I mean, her weight and height make it hard to believe she could have anorexia. Even if she is telling the truth, it doesn’t make sense.

Anorexia is an eating disorder characterized by extreme restriction of food intake and excessive weight loss.

But here’s the thing, my friend isn’t underweight or malnourished.

In fact, she’s 105kg, which is considered overweight.

She also has a healthy body mass index (BMI) of 25.5. So it’s hard for me to accept that she has anorexia.

At the same time, I can’t ignore the fact that she sounded like she was being serious. She said she was struggling with her weight and that she was trying to slim down. She also said she was doing all she could to cope with her problem, including seeing a therapist and taking medication.

It’s really hard for me to wrap my head around this. I don’t know if she’s trolling me or if she’s really struggling with anorexia. But either way, I can’t bring myself to accept her.

I know people say beauty is on the inside but both men and women have urges. Why should I be with her if I will eventually cheat on her or go some places to relive myself.

The question now is, How do i subtely reject her without her feeling bad.

I don’t like these kinds of situation. Someone help pleaseee.
