A man shared a story about how he ended up in the hospital after seeing his best friend with his wife on his own bed.
Here is the story:
I just went home from the hospital, as expected there is no one home. My wife’s personal belongings are all gone.
Here is how I ended up in the hospital.
I was out with my friends at Boat Quay and we were having dinner. We wanted to have a few drinks but one of my friends felt unwell and we send him home.
So we decided to meet another time for the drinks and every one of us went home early.
Earlier in the day, I told my wife that I would be eating and drinking with my friends and she quickly agrees and seem happy that I was going out.
Initially, I thought that it was strange how quickly she said yes (cause I said I was drinking) but I did not think much about it.
When I arrived home and open the door, I could hear the sounds of people moving and running around quickly and I thought a robber was in the house. I ran towards my room and see my wife not wearing anything and a “ball of blanket” was beside her.
I asked why is she naked and she said that the weather is too hot. She tried to rush me to the shower for no reason and I went into the bathroom.
I suddenly remembered that I did not lock the wooden door and I came out of the toilet but to see my best friend naked beside my wife.
I immediately shouted at them and I had a seizure shortly afterwards.
Now I am back home from the hospital and the first thing I’m gonna do is open up my laptop and find the cheapest lawyer I can find.
In life, they say that hesitation can sometimes be a roadblock to success. But for one woman at Orchard Central’s Don Don Donki, her moment of indecision turned out to be a lifesaver.
The Dilemma at Don Don Donki
It all started when a TikTok user, who goes by the name Iceicebaby, uploaded a video on a fateful Saturday, October 28th.
In the video, she captured an unusual scene at Orchard Central’s basement, the home of the popular Japanese mart, Don Don Donki.
The Ceiling Leak Drama
In the short video, water was seen leaking from the ceiling, causing chaos and commotion among both the staff and shoppers as some Don Don Donki employees were seen frantically covering their displayed goods with plastic bags, trying to salvage their merchandise.
As the water continued to gush from above, the shoppers navigated the aisles, attempting to traverse the affected area without getting their feet wet.
A Lucky Hesitation
In her video’s caption, she explained, “I was hesitating which food to buy. If I went to self payment counter just 5 mins earlier, I could have been drenched with these thirty (dirty) and smelly water…. (SIC)”
In her own words, Iceicebaby reflected on the timing of her decision: “If I went to the self-payment counter just five minutes earlier, I would have been drenched in dirty and smelly water.”
The implication was clear – her hesitance about her food choice ended up saving her from a less-than-pleasant encounter with the unexpected ceiling leak.

toilet pipe burst
this could be due to the malfunctioning conductor in the pipe which lead to pressure then burst
y nw so many things happen in Singapore
Could be an air conditioner problem faulty pump not working to pump out the water condensation.
In a scenario that sounds like it’s straight out of a crime thriller, a woman was recently caught red-handed, stealing plastic bags from a cookie stall, of all things.
The incident unfolded at Nasty Cookie’s Funan outlet and was captured on CCTV, eventually making its way to TikTok.
The TikTok Revelation
The drama began when Nasty Cookie’s official TikTok account posted a video that left viewers stunned. The footage revealed the audacious theft committed by an unidentified woman right under the noses of the store’s staff.
The TikTok clip kicks off with the woman talking to the staff member manning the counter, appearing interested in making a purchase, she engages in a brief conversation with the staff, all while discreetly scanning the cookies on their display.
Eyeing the Prize
As the staff momentarily leaves the counter, the would-be thief diverts her attention to the cashier area, as she locked eyes with her loot – a bunch of plastic bags.
With no one in sight to deter her, the woman seizes the opportunity. In a bold and swift move, she reaches over and snatches one of the turquoise bags.
When the staff returns to continue their conversation with her, the woman effortlessly continues to feign interest in the store’s cookies. Her act remains flawless, and there are murmurs that she might win an Oscar for her stunning performance.
Netizens’ comments
Ok but your bags are actually rly good quality so I understand 😭
Auntie stole the bag but the cookies stole my heart 😉
Ohh wow. Like that also can 😅
Asking is way better than taking things without permission. That’s stealing..
Stealing is stealing. Be in the position of a shop owner. Now all shop owners checking their cctv 🫶🏻
It’s just plastic bag come on now, it’s okie. Isn’t it free promotion and advertising for y’all too? It doesn’t have a price tag on it
Starting a new job is an exciting yet nerve-wracking experience, especially when you’ve been through a rigorous interview process, and everything seems to be going smoothly.
Imagine, for a Malaysian woman, the anticipation of her first day at her new job as a marketing executive at a jewelry shop in Kuala Lumpur.
Her story, however, took a surprising turn as her new job abruptly ended on day one. This incident quickly went viral when she took to TikTok to share her shocking experience.
The Promising Beginning
It all began with a promising start. The woman, known on TikTok as Narieana_, successfully cleared her interviews and was ecstatic to begin her role as a marketing executive.
The terms of employment were clear, including the agreed-upon salary. It seemed like a golden opportunity for her, and she eagerly embarked on her first day of work.
The Unexpected Probation Period
However, things took an unexpected turn on her first day. Narieana_ was suddenly informed that she was on a one-week probationary period, a detail that had not been mentioned during the initial job offer and acceptance.
The situation became even more bewildering as she had already negotiated the terms of employment with her employer.
The Abrupt Termination
On the very same day, she was terminated from her position. The reason cited for her dismissal was that her performance did not meet the company’s expectations.
Understandably, Narieana was shocked and frustrated by this abrupt termination, especially after she had invested time and money to secure childcare for her child, in order for her to join the workforce.
A Cry for Fair Employment
In her now-deleted TikTok video, Narieana_ expressed her frustration with the situation. She called out her former company, emphasizing the importance of treating employees with respect and fairness.
“If you didn’t plan on hiring me, you shouldn’t have offered me the job and should have rejected me during my interview,” she exclaimed. Her plea resonated with many who saw her video.
Legal Aspects in Malaysia
The incident raises questions about employment laws and practices in Malaysia. According to Malaysia’s Employment Act 1955, employers are not allowed to hire and fire employees “at-will.”
Terminating an employee’s services should be justified. “Just cause and excuse” for dismissing an employee can include reasons such as negligence or poor work performance.
An auntie in Singapore was seen in a video that emerged online, resting her feet on the grab pole inside an SBS bus, before engaging in a heated argument with the bus driver over it.
What happened?
In the video, the woman was seen putting her feet up on the grab poles of the bus. She didn’t stop there; she even took off her shoes and rested her feet on it.
She then pulled down the visor on her hat to cover her face, and napped away without a care in the world.
The Bus Captain’s Intervention
But, as you might expect, such behavior is not without consequences. The bus captain then approached her to ask her to put her feet down.
Their heated exchange was captured by Tiktok user @bbshidah, who posted a video of the incident online.
She shared that the incident happened on bus service 99 towards Jurong Town Hall.
The bus driver was seen in the video pointing out a sticker on the bus that stated no resting of feet on the seats.
The woman then put her legs down, before later putting it back up.
The argument got heated and the driver had to call the police in the end, and all the other passengers had to alight from the bus and continue their commute on another bus as a result.
SBS Transit’s Stance
SBS Transit, the public transport operator in Singapore, expressed its view on the incident. They said, “SBS Transit encourages passengers to be gracious and considerate as this contributes towards making journeys pleasant on public transport. For this reason, we have posters promoting gracious and considerate behavior on board to encourage and remind them. We also conduct school talks and visits to our bus interchanges and MRT stations throughout the year to reiterate these messages.”
Bus Captains’ Training
SBS Transit also highlighted that their Bus Captains are trained in handling incidents on board. They follow Standard Operating Procedures, and when they are aware of or alerted to a situation, they will advise the passenger to stop the act immediately.
If the passenger refuses to cooperate, they will contact the Operations Control Centre to report the incident and seek guidance on the course of action to take. This process, unfortunately, can cause delays to the journeys of other passengers.
Just wondering for all the SG couples out there who had either side of parents disapproving of the relationship because of race/nationality/background issues and are still together, stronger than ever, raising a family despite the disapproval, how did you manage it? Counseling? Communication? What do you do when either you or your partner starts having doubts/is stressed out from this? How do I make this work out?
[Context: I live with my parents and depend on them for pretty much everything, at least for a few more years]
I know the comments section will be quick to say “its your life, your happiness” but I really care about my parents and I want them to be able to approve of the relationship, but I’m really at a loss about how to change their minds if they’re already so predjudiced/have super fixated ideals on things like race/background which are intangible things that can’t be changed. I feel so helpless.
a lot of people are saying that my r/s with my parents is toxic and i should move out asap. 1. My relationship with my parents has never been toxic until now. They way they reacted to this relationship is toxic, but apart from that they have been supportive of what I do. Also 2. Rent in SG is expensive. So in a practical sense I do want to live with my parents for as long as possible to save money, but I do indeed feel like a hypocrite and a snake if I just use them for free food and lodging while I go out behind their backs to meet my S/O.
Netizen’s comments
Let me try and simplfy this in a way that’s easy to understand.
You like cats. Your parents like dogs. You desperately want your parents to approve you getting a cat. How do you change their minds?
You can try very hard, and yes, some people do succeed, but that’s probably because the parents don’t really have that strong of a preference. But if your parents ONLY like dogs, and you die die want to get a cat, then there’s really no way around it.
A cat is a cat and a dog is a dog. You can’t try and change the cat into a dog, and you can’t expect someone that loves dog to change and like cats.
So either get a dog to please your parents, or get a cat to please yourself. Not saying one is right or wrong. Really is up to the individual.
“I’ve been crushing on this guy for over a year, but he doesn’t seem to reciprocate at all and only treated me as a friend. Luckily we remained as close friends and I still get to see him frequently.
However, my urges were so strong that I couldn’t resist imagining myself being in a relationship with him.
Just last month, I came across a forum where someone allegedly put a “love spell” onto a guy by letting the vapour of steamed rice sit onto her private parts and then letting it drip back onto the rice.
After the guy ate the rice, the girl mentioned that he showed gradual interest in her and that she’s now in a relationship with him ever since.
That is why I decided to try this spell onto my guy, but I don’t know how to cook rice. I had to try something else so I eventually used hot water instead and I collected the vapour that was dipped onto my private part.
I brought the residue to school and once he was away, I poured a little of it into his bottle and gave it a good shake to make sure the spell will work properly.
That was just last week and I swear to God he started replying my messages more frequently and even flirted with me a little bit.
Time will tell whether the “love spell” truly worked but at this point I am just overjoyed. I know this isn’t ethically correct of me to do this but I just feel that sometimes in life, if you really want something, you have to put in your all and make it happen.
In a significant development in Singapore’s political landscape, four opposition parties have come together to form a coalition, setting the stage for the upcoming general election scheduled for November 2025, according to The Straits Times.
This groundbreaking alliance involves the National Solidarity Party (NSP), Red Dot United (RDU), Singapore People’s Party (SPP), and Singapore United Party (SUP).
A Coalition for Change
The formation of this political coalition is a significant move by the opposition parties, and it’s aimed at increasing their effectiveness and influence in the upcoming general election.
This alliance marks a departure from traditional election strategies and could potentially reshape the dynamics of Singapore’s political landscape.
Key Points of Agreement
The four opposition parties have reached several key agreements within the coalition, outlining their shared objectives and strategies. These agreements include:
1. Avoiding Three-Cornered Contests
One of the primary objectives of the coalition is to prevent three-cornered contests. This means that the parties will strive to avoid splitting the opposition vote in electoral constituencies, thus increasing their chances of success.
2. Manifesto Development
The coalition will collaboratively develop a comprehensive manifesto that outlines their policies and goals. This manifesto will serve as a blueprint for their collective vision and objectives.
3. Candidate Sharing
The parties will explore the possibility of sharing candidates during elections. This strategic approach aims to optimize the allocation of resources and maximize their chances of winning seats in the parliament.
Maintaining Individual Identities
Despite their collaboration, the parties intend to maintain their individual identities and branding. This approach is informed by the recognition that different constituencies may have varying needs and preferences. The coalition seeks to be flexible and responsive to the unique requirements of each constituency.
Guiding Principles: Respect and Teamwork
Respect is a core guiding principle of this coalition. The parties have set aside their differences and have chosen to come together for the common goal of creating a more robust opposition presence in Singapore’s political landscape. Teamwork is regarded as crucial for achieving their objectives.
No Formal Registration
The coalition, while committed to working together, does not plan to formally register as a single political party. Instead, they have established a non-formal memorandum of understanding to guide their collaboration. This approach allows them to work together effectively without losing their individual party identities.
Coalition’s Vision and Objectives
The four-party coalition has expressed its intent to contest in between eight and ten constituencies in the upcoming general election. This ambitious plan demonstrates their commitment to providing voters with a credible alternative to the ruling party.
The decision to announce the coalition now is influenced by the understanding that the next general election is approaching rapidly. The parties recognize the need to be well-prepared and organized to face the electoral contest effectively.
Open to Dialogue
The coalition’s leadership has expressed openness to engaging in dialogue and discussions with other opposition parties, including the Workers’ Party, Progress Singapore Party (PSP), and Singapore Democratic Party. This approach signifies a willingness to work collectively for the betterment of Singapore’s political landscape.
Manifesto Focus
The coalition’s manifesto, set to be released after the election is called, is expected to address critical issues that impact Singaporeans’ daily lives.
This includes addressing concerns related to inflation, the cost of living, and wages. The parties aim to present practical solutions to these issues and engage in in-depth discussions to better serve the interests of the Singaporean people.
In a shocking turn of events on Saturday, October 28th, a section of the ceiling at the Megah Rise Mall gave way during a heavy downpour, leaving three individuals injured. This incident has stirred concern, and an investigation is underway to determine the cause.
What happened?
On a seemingly routine Saturday afternoon, disaster struck when the ceiling of the car porch in front of the Megah Rise Mall entrance collapsed, causing havoc during strong winds and a heavy downpour around 3 p.m.
In the video, a group of security officers were seen trying to evacuate the shoppers inside the mall, as the ceiling behind them slowly collapsed.
However, the shoppers were too slow in getting out, with one man still seen whipping out his phone inside the collapsing building and fiddling with it.
A man behind him was pushing a baby pram and even stopped to turn around and watched as the ceiling collapsed on him, unable to make it out in time.
There also appeared to be another elderly person who didn’t make it out in time, as the other shoppers fled in horror.
Megah Rise Mall said that there were three “minor injuries” from the incident, as investigations are ongoing.

I work as an apprentice (work and school in the same time, don’t know what it is called) in this company for 3 years as IT engineer. More than 1 year ago all my colleagues (including my CIO) were fired and since I am the only one keeping the business up and running, basically doing the job of 3 people at once.
I never complained, but the boss always praised me and told me I will be the CIO of this company at the end of the contract. I don’t really believe this bull, and good for me, because he delayed my proposal (which they should make, I didn’t ask) every 3 months for different reasons (time, schedule, etc).
Please note that I didn’t receive a dime as a bonus for all the work I did, and every other colleague got their bonuses as expected, even tho I was the most qualified for a bonus.
I never said anything, except that I gave them a delay which of course they didn’t respect. In 3 days from my delay date, I got 3 offers which I signed with one of them. The current company doesn’t know this, and they woke up remembering my contract ends in 3 months and they haven’t offered me nothing yet.
They invited me recently to a meeting to tell them if I’m still interested, to which I replied “yes” haha. They then told me the position of CIO is no longer available since they are not satisfied with the past CIOs and they wanted to remove this position (go figure why).
Today they will come with an offer and I will see what they will offer, but of course, I will not accept it, because I already have my contract signed with another company.
I am eager to see their reaction when they will be faced with the fact that they need to find multiple people to do my job, and actually be competent.
They tried to recruit for 6 months someone under me and they couldn’t so imagine how hard it will be to find someone to replace me.
They probably never thought that I will not accept their offer, since I am new to the “business”, but I already have a contract signed with bonuses that I will never receive at the current company.
Sucks to be a dog and not appreciate hard-working people, but I guess they want to find this the hard way.
BTW they will need to pay at least 50K more for someone to do the job I did, because I was basically the CIO of the company and I am literally the only one who holds the infrastructure up and running.
