MAN WOKE UP ONE MORNING WITH HALF HIS FACE SUDDENLY PARALYSED, NOW NEED 1 HR TO EAT SOUP

A man in Malaysia, Faliq Fahmie, started a thread on Twitter (now known as X) detailing his journey and experience with Bell’s Palsy, and how it all started when he woke up one morning with half of his face suddenly paralysed.

Bell’s Palsy

Bell’s palsy is a condition characterized by sudden weakness or paralysis on one side of the face. It occurs due to inflammation of the facial nerve, often following a viral infection. This condition can be both physically and emotionally challenging, as Faliq’s journey reveals.

Faliq’s ordeal began with a slight numbness on the left side of his face one night last month. Initially, he chose to ignore it and slept through the discomfort.

However, when he woke up the next morning, he was met with an alarming realization – he could not move the muscles on the left side of his face. Concerned, he wasted no time and promptly visited a clinic for a thorough examination.

At the clinic, the doctor initially suspected a minor stroke and arranged for an ambulance to transport Faliq to Kuala Lumpur Hospital (HKL).

After undergoing a CT brain scan and further assessments, it was confirmed that it wasn’t a stroke; there was no sign of a blood clot in his brain. Instead, he was diagnosed with Bell’s palsy, a condition that was about to change his life significantly.

Faliq’s posts online

Week 1 (17th Aug – 23rd Aug)

Half face completely paralyzed. Can’t move a muscle, can’t close my left eyes fully. Had to take steroids (12 pills per day). Can’t talk or eat properly. Left ear super sensitive to sounds. A proper hell.

Week 2 (24th Aug – 30th Aug)

MC is over. Back to work. Nothing changes. Had a breakdown at a mamak because it took me an hour to finish a hit maggi soup. Steroids reduced to 5 pills. Did two sessions of facial physio. Life goes on.

Week 3 (1st Sept – 6th Sept)

Had to travel to Japan and New York for work. Was worried but turned out everything was fine. Steroids exhausted. Did self facial physio on a daily basis. Chewing gum everyday.

Cheek muscle started to move. Not much but still an improvement. Left eyes can finally shut. 8k steps per day also helped.

GIRL’S BESTFRIEND CHEATED ON HER BF, DOESN’T KNOW IF SHE SHOULD TELL HIM

GIRL’S BESTFRIEND CHEATED ON HER BF, DOESN’T KNOW IF SHE SHOULD TELL HIM

A girl shared how her best friend cheated and she can’t decide if she should tell her boyfriend or stay out of it. She also doesn’t want to lose her best friend if she does tell her boyfriend about it.

Here is the story:

My best friend told me she cheated on her boyfriend of 8 months….I have no idea what to do.

My (F22) best friend (F22), let’s call her Rosie, told me she cheated on her boyfriend (M25) of 8 months. Let’s call him Kevin.

My friend and I have been best friends since we were born and we’ve been through EVERYTHING together. I was super shocked when she told me what she had done.

She basically told me that she confessed her love for a guy (M22) and let’s call him Ron. Ron is in her school program and they hooked up a couple of times before she was in a relationship with Kevin. From what she told me, they confessed their love for each other, kissed, and slept together.

She told me that she’s only going to tell me about what happened and maybe her older sister to get advice. I asked her if she was going to tell Kevin and she said she was planning on it.

So, I reached out to her the next day and asked how she was feeling. She said that she hung out with Kevin last night and it was so great and so fun and that she loves him so much.

I then asked if she was going to tell Kevin. She said no. She said they’re so happy together, she really likes being with him, and that it only happened once so it’s not a big deal.

I am incredibly angry with her. Kevin is such a great guy and he does not deserve this at all.

I’ve also been cheated on and I would want to know right away if my SO was cheating. My friend doesn’t know how angry I am yet.

She’s one of my only friends and I don’t want to lose her, but I also think what she did is horrible. I can’t decide if I should just stay out of it, tell Kevin, or talk to Rosie about it more and how she needs to tell Kevin what she did.

Either way, I’d rather not lose my best friend over this, but it’s completely going against my morals and boundaries that Kevin is blind to all of this.

AH BENG MAYIDUO HITS $99K SALES TARGET & BUNGEE JUMPS, “WAH NNB A BIT HIGH LAH EH”

AH BENG MAYIDUO HITS $99K SALES TARGET & BUNGEE JUMPS, “WAH NNB A BIT HIGH LAH EH”

Bungee jumping is undoubtedly a thrill that appeals to adrenaline junkies, but it’s not everyone’s idea of a good time.

For local Ah Beng comedian Mayiduo, he found himself on the precipice, poised to leap into the abyss. Why? Because he made a promise during a Shopee livestream that if he achieved a certain sales target, he would take the plunge.

The Comedian Behind the Dare

Mayiduo, whose real name is Kelvin Tan, is not just your typical comedian. He also wears the hat of a Shopee spokesperson.

You might recognize him from Shopee’s advertising campaign for their 9.9 Super Shopping Day, where he shared the screen with influencer XiaXue.

But he didn’t stop at mere endorsements; Mayiduo hosted a live stream for the e-commerce giant, where he showcased and promoted various products.

Setting the Target

During this more than two-hour-long livestream, Mayiduo set an ambitious sales target of S$99,000. However, he sweetened the deal by making a bold promise: if he reached this target, he would go bungee jumping.

This unexpected twist generated a buzz among the viewers, and they responded enthusiastically by making purchases.

He eventually managed to exceed the sales target of $99,000, accumulating an impressive S$102,000 worth of sales. As the numbers rolled in, he knew he had to honor his commitment to bungee jump. The date was set for Saturday, September 9th, at SkyPark by AJ Hackett in Sentosa.

Confronting Fear

With the jump looming ahead, Mayiduo couldn’t hide his nerves. He admitted that the thought of bungee jumping was “a little scary.”

Standing on the edge of the platform with the entirety of his 108kg frame, he nervously chuckled, perhaps trying to mask his anxiety.

He even attempted to reassure others who were about to jump alongside him, possibly seeking solace in their shared trepidation.

As he peered into the void below, the comedian might have regretted agreeing to this daring feat. Nevertheless, he decided to document the experience by live-streaming the jump.

Before taking the plunge, he uttered, “I love my mum. I love my kid. I a bit regret.” Despite his misgivings, he bravely counted down from five and shouted the Shopee 9.9 slogan.

During his descent, Mayiduo couldn’t contain his emotions. He screamed, cursed, and swore, all while hurtling towards the ground.

In an unexpected twist, he also serenaded the audience with Shopee’s Super Shopping Day song. Though he successfully survived the ordeal, he vowed, in Mandarin, never to attempt such a feat again.

GUY THINKS HE WOULD BETRAY EVERYONE HE KNOWS FOR A BETTER LIFE

GUY THINKS HE WOULD BETRAY EVERYONE HE KNOWS FOR A BETTER LIFE

A netizen shared how he think that he would betray everyone he knows if he was offered a better life and he’s scared.

Here is the story:

I consider myself a mentally strong individual, with a good sense of justice and a very strong morality.

And yet everyday it eats at me because I wonder if this is just an unconscious act of rebellion against those better off with me and that I would throw everyone I know under the bus if in return I was offered a ticket to the elite class.

It’s not that I know for certain I would, but just that I legitimately do not know because I have never know anything more than my situation.

I have never been an elite. I just see all the tyrants of the world constantly popping into power and wonder if they too had been good people with a good vision at some point or another.

I live in constant misery wondering if everything and everyone I think I care about is just a result of my situation.

Am I breakable?

Netizens comments

They say everyone has a price.

Sounds like you’d sell your soul. Which is kinda what it is. No one gets “elite” status without stepping on a few orchids.

Everyone has morals and ethics until they’re being offered a briefcase full of money.

MAN WHO ALLEGEDLY MURDERED WIFE AT KATONG HOTEL, WAS ON HOLIDAY FROM SRI LANKA

A 30-year-old man from Sri Lanka, Eshan Tharaka Koottage, who allegedly killed his wife at the Holiday Inn Express hotel at Katong, was charged in court earlier today (11 September) with her murder, according to The Straits Times.

He is charged with killing his wife, 32-year-old Diyawinnage Sewwandi Maduka Kumari, on Saturday (9 September) sometime between 10.45am and 4.42pm.

According to MustShareNews, Eshan and the deceased were purportedly tourists from Sri Lanka having their holiday here in Singapore.

The two had just arrived in Singapore when they got into an argument, during which Eshan then allegedly killed his wife with a knife.

He then changed out of his clothes and left the hotel room, heading to a nearby police station to turn himself in to the police.

Lianhe Zaobao reported that the alleged murder took place on the 9th floor of the hotel.

He had turned himself in at the Marine Parade Neighbourhood Police Centre and told police officers that he had killed his wife, and officers then went to his hotel room and found the deceased with a slash wound, lying motionless; she was subsequently pronounced dead at the scene by paramedics.

Eshan appeared in court earlier today via video link and conversed via a Sinhalese interpreter, and he was also unrepresented.

The prosecution requested for permission to bring him back to the crime scene to recover exhibits and also asked for him to be remanded for a week.

In court, Eshan also requested to engage a lawyer via the Sri Lankan High Commission, who have been informed of the case. However, Eshan is not allowed to communicate with anyone at the moment because investigations into the murder are currently ongoing.

He is expected to return to court on 18 September and if convicted of murder, he faces the mandatory death penalty.

Recap

A 30-year-old man was apprehended by the police on Saturday for the alleged murder of his 32-year-old wife at a hotel along Katong, according to The Straits Times.

The harrowing saga began on a seemingly ordinary Saturday evening around 5.05 pm when the man walked into the Marine Parade Neighbourhood Police Centre. He confessed to the officers that he had taken the life of his wife at a hotel located in East Coast Road.

While the police did not initially disclose the name of the hotel, The Straits Times reported that the grim incident occurred at the Holiday Inn Express Singapore Katong.

Upon receiving the alarming confession, officers swiftly made their way to the hotel room mentioned by the suspect, where they found the lifeless body of the woman, bearing a slash wound, lying motionless.

She was subsequently pronounced dead at the scene.

The man, who had voluntarily turned himself in, was promptly arrested at the Marine Parade Neighbourhood Police Centre. A knife believed to be the murder weapon was discovered in the hotel room and seized as well.

The police have announced that the suspect will be charged with murder, and he is set to appear in court on Monday. In Singapore, individuals convicted of murder can face severe penalties, including the death penalty or life imprisonment coupled with caning.

39 Y.O MAN ARRESTED FOR ATTACKING MAN WITH KNIFE @ JALAN BESAR, SHIRT BLOODIED

The Singapore Police Force arrested a 39-year-old man for allegedly attacking a 40-year-old man with a knife along Jalan Besar on 9 September.

The Dispute Unfolds

The police were alerted to a fight in progress on that day. Upon arriving at the scene, they discovered two men engaged in a heated dispute.

Preliminary investigations by the police revealed that this altercation was not a random act of violence. Instead, it was the result of an ongoing disagreement between the two individuals, which had finally escalated to a dangerous level.

With the aid of images from police cameras and ground enquiries, officers from the Central Police Division, supported by their counterparts from the Police Operations Command Centre and Bedok Police Division, swiftly identified the assailant and arrested him within 8 hours of the incident.

Evidence Seized

During the arrest, the police confiscated two knives believed to be involved in the attack. Additionally, they secured the victim’s shirt, which was seen heavily stained with blood.

The assailant will face legal repercussions for his actions. He is scheduled to be charged in court on September 11, where he will face charges of voluntarily causing hurt with a dangerous weapon.

If convicted, he could be sentenced to a prison term of up to seven years, a hefty fine, caning or any combination of the punishments.

This incident serves as a stark reminder for the public regarding the seriousness of carrying offensive or scheduled weapons in public places. It is essential to note that such actions are illegal and can lead to severe consequences under the law.

Similar cases

About 2 weeks ago, a 23-year-old man was arrested for possession of offensive weapons, including a karambit knife and a knuckle duster.

Police officers were performing checks on him along Victoria Street at the time when the man tried to flee, before being detained by the officers who then found the weapons in his possession.

He was also found to be in possession of suspected illegal drugs, and was subsequently charged in court.

GIRL FORGETS TO KEEP ‘TOYS’ AWAY, PARENTS IN LAW CAME AND SAW IT

GIRL FORGETS TO KEEP ‘TOYS’ AWAY, PARENTS IN LAW CAME AND SAW IT

A girl shared a story of how she had a collection of ‘toys’ in her room and since she was living with her husband alone in the flat, they did not bother to keep the ‘toys’ away and out of sight.

What happened was one day her parents in law came over to live with them as it was nearer to the hospital which the grandfather in law was hospitalised in and the toy was just hanging above their heads when they came in to tell them that the grandfather in law has died.

Here is the story

“I live with my husband and few months back his parents came over to live with us because it was closer to the hospital.

At this point, my husband’s grandpa was in the hospital because of his stage 4 cancer and was going to go anytime soon.

Of course, I let them know that if they needed anything in the morning to just knock on our bedroom door.

The next morning, I hear a knock that wakes me up and I’m thinking that his mom just doesn’t know where the coffee is. I answer and she just walks right in. It’s important to note that my fiancé’s family is incredibly religious.

Because right above me on the headboard are a few of my toys including a massive 8 inch ‘cucumber’ that just didn’t make it back into the drawer after being washed a few days prior. And of course I can’t just put it away without drawing more attention to it.

Anyways, his mom goes and sits on his side of the bed and hasn’t noticed the ‘cucumber’ right above me yet. And then she breaks the news. My husband’s grandpa died.

She’s sobbing and hugging us. And then I see her look just above me. And she stares at this ‘cucumber’ for a good 30 seconds, makes awkward eye contact with me, and then immediately leaves.

She definitely prayed a little harder for us that night.”

A series of enforcement operations was conducted at nightspots located in the Joo Chiat, Marina Bay and Bugis areas from 7 to 10 September 2023. The enforcement operation involved officers from the Central Narcotics Bureau (CNB) and Singapore Police Force (SPF) as part of sustained efforts to clamp down on illegal activities, including drug offences and crime.

A total of three male Singaporeans and one female foreign national were arrested for suspected drug-related offences, the youngest being a 19-year-old Singaporean teenager. In total, about 3g of ‘Ice’, 98g of ketamine, 46g of ‘Ecstasy’ tablets and 60g of powdery substance believed to be controlled drugs were seized.

Superintendent Lim Sze Yuk, Commanding Officer of Enforcement ‘A’ / ‘E’ Division, said:

The series of anti-drug operations at nightspots is part of CNB’s ongoing efforts aimed at keeping illicit drugs off Singapore’s streets and nightspots. CNB’s enforcement actions are necessary so that members of the public can enjoy Singapore’s nightlife safely without fear of being harmed by fellow partygoers or motorists under the influence of drugs. Our advice is clear – stay away from drugs. CNB will not hesitate to take firm action against drug offenders.”

Singapore adopts a strict policy of zero tolerance towards controlled drugs. The importation and exportation, possession, sale and consumption of controlled drugs or products containing controlled drugs, is an offence under the Misuse of Drugs Act (MDA) 1973.

Under the MDA, it is also an offence for a person to arrange for gatherings for drug abuse, and it is also an offence for the premise owner, tenant or occupier to permit the premises to be used for drug abuse or drug trafficking.

Members of the public who would like to report on suspicious drug-related activities may submit it to us at https://www.eservices.cnb.gov.sg/feedback, or call the CNB hotline at 1800-325-6666.

MOTORCYCLE END UP IN BUSH AFTER CRASH @ JURONG, ANOTHER CAR TURNED TURTLE @ CTE

On a Thursday, two separate road accidents occurred at Jurong West and along the Central Expressway (CTE), leaving 3 people hospitalised and prompting the police and the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) to launch investigations.

The First Accident: Motorcycle and Car Collision

The first incident took place at 7.40 pm at the junction of Jurong West Street 63 towards Jurong West Street 64. It involved a motorcycle and a car, and it unfolded in a matter of seconds.

A 51-year-old male motorcyclist was involved in the collision. Fortunately, he remained conscious and was promptly taken to the National University Hospital for medical attention.

A video shared on the SG Road Vigilante (SGRV) Facebook page captured the moment of impact. As the motorcycle crossed the junction, it clipped the front of a silver sedan that was waiting to make a discretionary right turn. The collision sent the rider and his bike careening across the junction before they landed in some bushes.

The 45-year-old male car driver is cooperating with the police investigations at the time of writing.

The Second Accident: Collision on the Central Expressway

The second accident occurred at about 8 pm, involving two cars traveling on the Central Expressway (CTE) towards the Seletar Expressway (SLE). This incident took place at the slip road heading towards the Braddell Road exit.

In this case, a dark sedan collided with a multi-purpose vehicle (MPV), causing the MPV to turn turtle. The momentum of the collision caused the MPV to slide along the road and flip over again. A 66-year-old male driver and a 44-year-old female passenger from the MPV were taken conscious to Tan Tock Seng Hospital.

A video posted on the SGRV Facebook page documented the collision sequence. It showed the dark sedan crossing a road chevron before colliding with the MPV, which was taking the slip road exit towards Braddell Road. The sedan then moved back across the Braddell flyover exit before crashing into a hedge in the middle of the road.

The video concluded with a man in a T-shirt alighting from the sedan and hurrying to the flipped-over MPV to check on the occupants inside.

As with the first accident, the police have launched investigations into the circumstances surrounding this collision.

GF’S FAMILY FORCE GUY TO DRINK ALCOHOL AS A SIGN OF “RESPECT”

GF’S FAMILY FORCE GUY TO DRINK ALCOHOL AS A SIGN OF “RESPECT”

So long story short, I have a personal rule to never drink alcohol. I have a myriad of reasons from general health to honouring loved ones, but that’s not the point. The point is that I do not drink ever.

My girlfriend and I went to her family party and apparently, they have a tradition of everyone taking a shot to honour one of their dead relatives. Everyone does it at the same time and talks about what they’re thankful for and everything, but I told the person handing me the shot I wouldn’t drink, and he looked at me funny.

Her cousin pointed me out before they drank it and said I need a shot and I said no I’m ok I don’t drink and he said it’s just one shot and I said no I can’t but please continue I’ll just drink something else and they refused to start.

I ended up leaving after being egged on too much and my girlfriend apologized for me and we left. She did her best to defend me but her family is just stubborn. Everyone was talking about me apparently saying that I was selfish and that I was ruining the night.

It was just one shot but I’ don’t know, I couldn’t bring myself to do it.

Here are what netizens think:

  • That’s very inconsiderate of them. You could be a recovering alcoholic or whatever. It’s never a good idea to push someone to drink alcohol. Never! And that’s coming from someone who likes to drink… Respect people’s boundaries!
  • I mean, alcohol is such a weird thing to pressure people about. Or maybe it’s just me? In general though, the alcohol isn’t as important as the fact that they pressured him into doing something he doesn’t want to, with no regard to his boundaries. ‘No’ is a complete sentence. If they can’t respect that, pick a better tradition.
  • Sometimes people feel threatened by the actions of others. For example: if a person likes to drink a little too much, they might feel subconsciously guilty about it. And other people not drinking holds up a mirror to their faces. But if everyone was drinking too, they wouldn’t feel so guilty about it. It is obviously not true for everyone, but sometimes it’s the case.
