8-9 HOUR JAMS TO JOHOR DURING THE LONG WEEKEND

8-9 HOUR JAMS TO JOHOR DURING THE LONG WEEKEND

travellers heading to Johor, Malaysia via the Causeway on Friday evening, from Polling Day till the end of this long weekend — are finding themselves stuck in a massive eight-hour jam.

The Cause of the Gridlock

Unprecedented Voting Turnout

The primary cause of this unprecedented traffic jam can be attributed to the high voter turnout on Polling Day. About 52 per cent of Singapore’s eligible voters had cast their votes from 8 am to 12 pm. This surge in early voting led to a significant influx of vehicles heading towards the Causeway.

Long Weekend Getaways

Additionally, with Polling Day falling on a Friday, many Singaporeans took advantage of the long weekend to plan getaways to neighboring Malaysia. The combination of holidaymakers and voters resulted in a perfect storm of traffic congestion.

Scenes from the Jam

Photos of the situation at the checkpoint showed a dire scene with human bodies packed closely together. The chaos and frustration were palpable as travellers inched their way towards the border. It wasn’t just the roads that were gridlocked; even pedestrian passages were teeming with people.

Alternative Routes and Tips

Consider Postpone Travel

If you’re planning a trip to Johor on a significant day like Polling Day, it might be wise to consider postponing your travel plans. The long queues and delays can be highly inconvenient, and there’s no guarantee that the situation will improve quickly.

Stay Informed

Keep an eye on real-time traffic updates and news reports before embarking on your journey. Being well-informed about the current traffic situation can help you make better decisions and possibly find less congested routes.

Conclusion

The eight-hour traffic jam on the Johor Causeway during Polling Day was an unfortunate ordeal for many travellers. While high voter turnout and holiday getaways played a significant role in the congestion, it serves as a reminder to plan your travels carefully on important days like these. Staying informed and considering alternative routes or postponements can save you from hours of frustration.

MAN CAN’T SLEEP AT NIGHT, WIFE KEEPS “TAKING OVER” THE WHOLE BED

MAN CAN’T SLEEP AT NIGHT, WIFE KEEPS “TAKING OVER” THE WHOLE BED

A netizen shared how he can’t sleep at night because his wife keeps taking over the whole bed, and as a result, sometimes he goes to work without sleeping at all.

Here is the story:

I love this woman more than life itself. She is the most selfless, supportive, and loving person I have ever met. Every single day I am with her I am a better person for it. That being said:

She sleeps like a jerk.

We start all cuddled up like a Disney movie, snug as a bug in a rug. And then, when she falls asleep, we begin the nightly turf war that is our bed.

She will often start with a classic starfish maneuver, spreading her arms and legs to establish a beach head to begin her insurgence.

She will then begin to slowly rotate her body in a counter clockwise fashion, until she is sleeping diagonally across the bed, establishing an ingress with her feet and legs.

Then, with a classic pincer executed as ruthlessly as Hannibal himself, she brings her upper body forward, pinning me in and leaving me exactly 2 finger spaces for my insomniac self to try and sleep on.

I then try to slowly slide out of bed, and sleep on her side, to which her reaction is to do the same thing 5 minutes later.

I have tried everything. We bought a king sized for our tiny bedroom. I establish a green zone with pillows. I have even gently picked her up and slid her to her side, to no avail.

The thing is, I can’t sleep in an empty bed anymore because I love this dummy so much. It has literally kept me up nights that I end up going to work with no sleep, and I can only sleep the next night out of sheer exhaustion.

She also works hard, so I can’t wake her up but I am so tired.

ADOPTED 36 Y.O SON MARRIES SISTER WHO IS 15 YEARS YOUNGER

ADOPTED 36 Y.O SON MARRIES SISTER WHO IS 15 YEARS YOUNGER

In summary, my 21-year-old daughter (now 22) announced last year that she was engaged to a man, 36, who my wife and I had adopted as a son after his parents passed away. They claim they began dating when she turned 18, but we now know it began much earlier than that, though we didn’t find out about any of this until she was 21, so legally there was not much we could do.

The effects this had on my family were devastating. My oldest son has cut the family off. He can not come to terms with the man he grew up with as a brother being in a relationship with his sister. There was a physical altercation, and although they both said they were going to put their differences aside, that was really the last time we saw him.

My daughter had her baby, and the child is beautiful and doing wonderfully. My daughter and her fiancé have since gotten married in a very small ceremony. My wife is focusing mainly on the baby and helping out with the baby as much as possible. She says she sees the small ways in which he is controlling my daughter but she tries not to say anything. Holidays and birthdays are still awkward but luckily in the day to day, we don’t see him very often since we come over during the workday.

Ultimately, my daughter seems very happy being a mother so that’s the best outcome I could hope for.

Here are what netizens think:

  • Predators are masterful manipulators; this man groomed your daughter and has now trapped her legally. Just make sure she knows that while you don’t support her relationship with this man, you support her and will be there for her whenever she needs. Don’t engage that much with her husband; it might lead to isolation from you.
  • Find evidence and he did naughty things when his younger.
  • This is grooming

MAN SURVIVES ON JUST $10/DAY WORKING IN S’PORE, NOT EASY BUT CAN BE DONE

MAN SURVIVES ON JUST $10/DAY WORKING IN S’PORE, NOT EASY BUT CAN BE DONE

In the ever-fluctuating world of currencies, the weakening of the Malaysian ringgit against the Singapore dollar has undoubtedly impacted individuals on both sides of the border. While Singaporeans may find their wallets a bit heavier when crossing into Malaysia, the same cannot be said for Malaysians working here.

Jonathan Lim, a 27-year-old Malaysian working in Singapore, decided to put this financial conundrum to the test. Can a working adult survive on just $10 a day in Singapore?

His TikTok video, posted on August 29 under the username Jonlzx, sheds light on this frugal experiment, and the results are intriguing.

A Frugal Breakfast

Jonathan’s day began with a simple yet satisfying breakfast – a peanut butter toast that he wolfed down during his morning commute to the office.

What makes this breakfast even more budget-friendly is that he prepared it at home, meaning it didn’t dent his daily budget.

Cheap Cai Png For Lunch

As the morning turned into noon, Jonathan had yet to spend a single cent until his lunch time. At an economy rice stall, he ordered a meal consisting of rice, broccoli, and sliced chicken, all for a mere $3.60.

This is quite the bargain, especially when compared to other people splashing out almost $15 to $20 on Cai Png stalls at other more expensive places.

After lunch, it was back to work, and Jonathan made no additional purchases, with his spending for the day so far still remaining at $3.60.

Late in the day, as hunger pangs started to kick in, Jonathan decided to treat himself to a cranberry cream cheese bun from the neighborhood bakery. This indulgence set him back just $1.50, a reasonable expense considering his hunger.

Whole chicken for dinner

Before dinner, Jonathan wanted to burn some calories, so he headed to the nearby stadium for a jog. Unlike some gym enthusiasts, he prefers the outdoors, finding it more enjoyable than a monotonous treadmill session.

What’s even better is that the stadium entrance was free, making it an affordable fitness option for anyone in the area.

After his workout, Jonathan went straight to the supermarket to shop for dinner. For a mere $5, he scored two giant-sized drumsticks, a satisfying and cost-effective meal option.

He also mentioned that for the same price, you can also buy a whole chicken, but he found it too big for him to finish by himself. To round off his expenses for the day, he spent an additional $3 on transportation.

In total, Jonathan’s day in Singapore cost him $13.10, comfortably within his self-imposed budget of $10. This experiment demonstrates that with careful planning and some savvy choices, it is indeed possible for a working adult to survive on a tight budget in an expensive country like Singapore.

SG STALL REPLIES RUDELY TO BAD REVIEWS ONLINE: “I THINK YOU NEVER BRUSH TEETH”

SG STALL REPLIES RUDELY TO BAD REVIEWS ONLINE: “I THINK YOU NEVER BRUSH TEETH”

In today’s competitive business landscape, customer reviews play a crucial role. They serve as a reflection of a company’s products or services, influencing the decisions of potential customers.

Positive reviews can boost sales and reputation, while negative reviews can deter prospective clients. It’s no wonder that businesses often prioritize maintaining a positive online image.

A Unique Case of Customer Feedback

Facebook user Nur Hidayu recently shared an intriguing experience involving a food stall on the GrabFood app. Like many of us, Nur Hidayu reads reviews before placing orders.

However, what she encountered in the reviews section of this particular food stall was far from ordinary. Her post quickly gained attention, amassing over 1,300 shares.

Stall fires back at everyone who leaves a bad review

The food stall in question had a knack for delivering sassy responses to customers who complained about the quality of their food.

For instance, when one customer claimed in their review that the prawns and fish weren’t fresh, the hawker then retorted in the replies, “Not fresh? Mean I must catch from the sea then fresh arh? If not fresh, the fish is grey color. Of course, prawn got smell… if no smell, plastic lor… Go study about fish first, then you buy from me, okay.”

Another customer complained of their beef being totally inedible because it was too tough and hard, the hawker fired back and challenged the customer “you come here and cook 20kg rendang, you try work 19 hours 1st before asking”.

And it appears the stall also has a “reject list” – a customer complained about not receiving gravy with his food order and advised the stall to check the orders first to make sure it’s correct, the unhappy hawker then retorted that “takpa (whatever) lah we just add your name to the reject list”.

Among their other replies to customers include “oklor if you buy I cancel” in response to a customer complaint about their poor quality of food, as well as “I think you never brush teeth” in response to a customer complaining that their food is bland and not appetising.

The Fine Line Between Wit and Rudeness

While these responses may seem humorous to some, they raise questions about the fine line between wit and rudeness in customer service. Responding with sass can grab attention, but it can also alienate customers and harm the brand’s reputation. The sassy tone used by the food stall ignited debates on social media, with some praising their bold approach and others criticizing them for being disrespectful.

HUSBAND ANGRY AT WIFE BECAUSE SHE SLEPT WITH SOMEONE ELSE 16 YEARS AGO

HUSBAND ANGRY AT WIFE BECAUSE SHE SLEPT WITH SOMEONE ELSE 16 YEARS AGO

A netizen shared how her husband found out that she slept with someone else 16 years ago and now he resents their marriage.

Here is the story:

My husband read through my texts with my best friend and found out that in college, WHILE WE WERE BROKEN UP, I slept with a guy I was friends with then.

He’d broken up with me several times in a row, once so he could date another girl (which he never acted on) and several times after because he “didn’t know if he loved me.” Now, on about third or fourth breakup (it’s hazy because it was 16 damn years ago) I went to a party, drank a fair amount of margaritas, and slept with a boy at the party.

Yes, I knew the boy had feelings for me before and after the party…so maybe going and even engaging it was wrong. But I was 18 and heartbroken and fed up.

I never told my husband about my night with the boy. Afterwards we worked things out, got engaged, married, had children and things were okay-ish. I say okay-ish because he wasn’t a great husband TBH but I think I was a devoted wife and mama.

So, husband reads the texts and has now decided that what he thought made our relationship special was a lie, the whole marriage is built on the foundation of a lie, and he says that he will resent me if he doesn’t get to sleep with other people since “I got that experience and he didn’t.”

To me this feels irrational…it was 16 years ago and we were broken up based on his wishes. He still says he’s broken hearted that we didn’t have the relationship that he thought we did.

He keeps bringing up sleeping with others so last night I just told him to go for it.

Is he valid in his resentment and feeling like our whole relationship was a lie? I don’t feel like that one night in college had any effect on our subsequent relationship or marriage whatsoever.

GUY WASN’T INVITED TO SISTER’S B’DAY DINNER, FAMILY DON’T CARE

A netizen shared how he wasn’t invited to his sister’s birthday because of work and when he asked if family if they could reschedule the timing, they didn’t reply him and went on with it.

Here is the story:

I’m 27 and just cried because I wasn’t invited to my sister birthday dinner.

I work nights, I told them all a week ago I couldn’t go to anything after 4pm on Saturday but that I was off Sunday or could do breakfast Saturday.

Instead of answering me I was ghosted until I found out tonight from my mom that she (25F) booked the dinner at a restaurant at 5pm tonight.

I called to ask if she’d be willing to push it to tomorrow and she told me no.

I’m single and have no real friends, family means everything to me and I always ALWAYS put them first when making plans.

I didn’t even choose the restaurant for my birthday, hell they didn’t even remember mine until I called them the night before asking if they’d eat with me.

Netizens comments

I’m really sorry this happened to you. I struggle with handling not being invited or included in things.

Remember, you have the right and the capability to build your own family with whoever you want. There are plenty of people in the world looking for other people to connect with.

It may be hard to get out of your comfort zone and meet new people, but it is any harder than dealing with a family you don’t feel included in?

MAN FOUND OUT CHILDREN HE RAISED ARE NOT HIS, STOPS LOVING THEM

MAN FOUND OUT CHILDREN HE RAISED ARE NOT HIS, STOPS LOVING THEM

A netizen shared how he found out that the children that he has been raising are not his, but the product of his wife’s affairs.

Here is the story:

They’re not my kids, and not my problem.

About a month ago, I found out both of my children where the results of my soon-to-be-ex-wife’s affairs. I’ve had a feeling for a while now that both of them were not mine.

6 years ago when my son was born, I was the happiest I had been in my entire life. I had married my best friend, we had a child together, and everything seemed amazing.

That was until he started getting older. After a few years, I started to have doubts that he was actually mine. He did not look like my child.

The more he started to grow, the more I realized just how different he looked compared to what I would expect a child of mine to look like. I am not petty or paranoid enough to let that alone drive me. It was my wife that really set my alarms off.

Whenever she went out, she never went where she said she did. She would have huge holes in her schedule she could never explain to me, she would refuse to allow me to interact with anyone from her workplace, and a close friend of hers accused her of flirting with her s/o at the time.

It did not help that soon after our son was born, her lies started to catch up with her. Still, though, I loved her like the fool I was. She told me up and down how much she loved me whenever one of her lies caught up with her.

She had convinced me that despite the fact she was a lying and manipulative woman, she wasn’t a lying manipulative b—-.

Last year, she got pregnant again, and I still held out a small bit of hope that it was mine. But when her daughter was born, it was obvious she was mixed race. I refused to sign the birth certificate, and the paternity test I demanded afterward proved my suspicions right all along. Neither of them are mine.

The day I got those test results were the day I filed for divorce from that s— and walked away from the family I had created. I knew that it would destroy her son’s life to see me walkout.

Despite my concerns, I was the best dad I could be to him. I loved him with all my heart and put in 110% into being the father he deserved.

Now though, when I see him I am filled with disgust. Disgust for my wife, disgust with myself for not trusting my instincts, and disgust that the last 6 years of my life have been for nothing. I have been told by multiple people now that I am a monster for leaving “my son” like this.

My ex has tried on multiple occasions since I moved out to use him to guilt me into getting back with her. She will have him call me at random hours of the night crying and begging for “his daddy” to come back.

The day I moved out, she paraded him into the room as I packed my things to show me “how much damage I am doing.” In every conversation that he is brought up, both online and off, I am berated and shamed. That despite the fact I am not the boys’ biological father, I am his dad.

What I have sadly now realized is that, to most, my own feelings mean nothing. My parents are my only supporters through all this, with my own siblings calling me a despicable person for abandoning a child like that.

My feelings of betrayal and sadness mean nothing because a child is involved. I know it is not his fault. I know that the man he called his father for his entire life just walked away, But why am I expected to “man up?”

Why should I have to pretend everything is fine and I do not feel contempt for this entire situation. Why should I put my own life and feelings aside? I never was the boys’ father, I loved him like one and honestly still do; but I would come to hate and contempt him if I had to play that role.

Hate myself for not standing up and taking my own life back into my own hands. He is not my child, and even though it is not his fault, he is not my problem anymore.
