A netizen shared how he was talking to a girl that he liked, then he hacked into her Facebook and found out that she was talking to another guy.
Here is the story:
“I have no intention to brag about myself, but the information I’m giving is gonna be relevant to the story I’m sharing. I’m from Vietnam. I studied and graduated from NTU a few years ago. I’m currently working in Singapore in a pretty hot domain with a respectable salary.
About 1.5 years ago, I got to know a girl in Vietnam through social networks. She is good-looking and smart. She is in her second year at the Vietnam national academy of music. She is from Hanoi (North of Vietnam), while my hometown is in Ho Chi Minh City (South of Vietnam).
We have been messaging each other a lot, almost every day. Most of the time, I’m the one who initiates. I shared almost everything about my daily life with her. She wouldn’t do the same if I don’t ask her to.
Due to the Covid 19 situation, I haven’t been able to fly back to Vietnam to see her. I’ve occasionally bought gifts and food for her and she liked those. She never accepted too valuable gifts, such as iPhone, though.
Earlier this year, I made an attempt to confess to her. She told me that she still got 2 more years to finish her degree, and it could lead to nothing because her family didn’t want her to get married to someone staying too far away.
I responded to her that I’m willing to relocate to her place. She still rejected me. I supposed that my attempt failed. I decided to give up and not disturb her anymore.
Sometime later, she initiates to message me again and I perceived positive changes in her feelings towards me. So I hacked her Facebook to know what was happening. I know that is bad, I apologize.
I discovered that she was having a relationship with a guy for almost 4 years now. He is a Ph.D. student in Japan and is doing a part-time job for his study.
His hometown is a small city in the South of Vietnam. I saw him commenting and giving heart reactions on my crush posts. From her Messenger, they were messaging and video chatting every day. She made birthday cakes for him.
They haven’t met but they had planned to see each other and to get married. I even found her sending to him sexy photos and, I can’t believe it, screenshots of my confession messages too.
I don’t know what to do. My heart crumbles. I know I’m silly, but I still hope for her change of mind. Appreciate help and advice from you guys.”
Editor’s note: Seems like you’re the appetizer bro, block her and move on.
In today’s digital age, social media has become a powerful platform for individuals to voice their concerns and opinions. It can also be a battleground where controversies arise.
One such incident took place on October 20th when a Facebook user named Eric Tan expressed his shock at being charged $8 for a plate of bee hoon at a food court in Singapore General Hospital (SGH), according to a report by Lianhe Zaobao.
$8 for Bee Hoon meal
Eric Tan’s Facebook post made waves when he shared a picture of his bee hoon meal, which consisted of rice with vegetarian roast goose, fried egg, and long beans.
His caption, “First time eat so expensive vegetarian bee hoon,” set the stage for a lively online discussion. Many netizens were quick to express their astonishment at the $8 price tag, labeling it as “daylight robbery.”
Some even called for a boycott of the stall responsible for this seemingly extravagant pricing.
“cannot be”
The stall assistant, Han, spoke to Zaobao and responded to the online outcry by explaining that the diner should have been billed only $7 for the food shown in the photo.
The breakdown of the charges includes $2 for the bee hoon, $1.50 for the fried egg, $1 for long beans, and $2.50 for vegetarian roast goose.
The crux of the matter here is understanding the pricing of vegetarian roast goose, a component that substantially contributed to the overall cost.
Han shed light on the cost of vegetarian roast goose, noting that it’s relatively high, with a bag of it costing $10. This explains the higher price of the dish, which includes this specialized ingredient.
He further added that the prices of their food are clearly indicated and they won’t charge random prices to customers, and he questioned how Tan’s meal had come up to $8.
Han also added that he hopes Tan will be able to show the receipt to prove his claims.
A netizen shared how she was set up on a blind date with her aunt’s colleague’s son, who was advertised as “super smart, funny and a high-flyer at a Big 4 firm”.
Here is her story:
“Really need to rant about my horror blind date, which was my aunt’s colleague’s son, advertised to me as “super smart”, “funny” and a “high-flyer at a Big 4 accounting firm”.
He turned out to be an insufferable elitist with a serious b–bs fetish.
Part 1: The Pure-Blood Rafflesian in the Valley of Gods
We met at Subway, and as there was a queue we started chatting. Apparently, he was also from RJC, and then –
Him: Were you IP?
Me: No, I was from a neighborhood sec sch.
Him: Aha! So you are a half-blood!
Me: What?
Him: You were not from RGS, so you are only a half-blood Rafflesian. I am pure-blood, I was from RI.
Me: (Nani tf?! Are we in Harry Potter??? But before I could respond – )
Him: Impressive cleavage by the way, really appreciate the effort. *creepy smile*
Me: Uh…thanks…
Him: You know, we guys call it the Valley of Gods, because from top-down or bottom-up, girls’ cleavages look like a valley, and because b–bs are made of men’s hopes and dreams, we name it Valley of Gods.
6 years of Raffles education, you say?
Part 2: 5,318,008 lettuce letters
At this point already texting 3 close friends to do the fake emergency call strategy, and then –
Waitress: Do you want any vegetables? Tomatoes? Lettuce?
Him: No I don’t want “leh-tuse”, I want “letters”.
*turns to me and grins*
Me: *expands my texting to non-close friends*
Him: (after we got our food) Have to say, you really have a magnificent pair.
Me: Ummm…okay?
Him: Do you have a favorite number?
Me: No, do you?
Him: Yes! 5,318,008 – because upside down on a calculator it spells B–BIES.
*deranged laughter*
If any of you has had a worse date experience please share so I can feel better and not have to seek counseling.”
Editor’s note:Who were you on a date with? A primary school kid? The guy has the maturity of a 10-year-old…
I’m 39f. My recently ex- husband is 38m. We were married for ten years before divorcing last year. I accused him of cheating on me, I didn’t believe when he told me he was working longer shifts at work since we still always seemed tight on cash, I thought he was cheating on me with a woman, Jen, 30f, since I saw she was on his recent calls quite a few times, both phone calls/video calls, and I saw her name pop up multiple times sending him texts throughout the week, but my husband doesn’t keep texts from anyone so I didn’t know what they were.
I confronted him about it and although I didn’t outright accuse him of cheating I was definitely angry about feeling like he was hiding something from me, and made that clear.
As it turned out, he was working extra hours and putting the money into a separate account to surprise me with a groundbreaking for an extension on our house on the ten year anniversary of us buying it. The conversations with the Jen were him coordinating with her watching the kids while both of us were working while the daycare was closed (when he picked up extra weekend shifts) and the phone calls/video calls were him checking on the kids. He was able to verify all of this with bank account records, emails to and from the builder, and screenshots of the messages between her and him from her end of the conversation. I apologized to him for not believing him, but at this point he said he couldn’t believe that I would ever think he was cheating on me. He said he felt incredibly hurt and said that he would never think something like that about me, and that he never would’ve assumed the worst about me. He asked for space so we first went to living in separate bedrooms, then after a bit he moved into the basement, the entire time he was acting strange and distant and like a stranger to me, only acting normal around the kids.
After a few weeks of that he officially asked for a divorce. I asked if we could do couples therapy first, and he said that there was no point since I didn’t trust him, but eventually he agreed, we went to one session and he admitted that him realizing I had no faith in him after he was working so hard for our family really hurt his self confidence and he didn’t think it was something he could repair while he was still with me, and he again asked for a divorce.
He bought me out of my half of the house, which I put towards a small house close by and our kids split their time between us.
I heard that he began dating Jen from my friend, who lives down the street from him. At first my ex insisted that she was still just helping with the kids, but after four months he admitted they were dating, once the extension was done she moved in and yesterday he asked her to marry him.
I’m happy for him but there’s still a part of me that feels shocked and somewhat resentful this all happened. I feel as though it was a happy surprise if he had told me about his plans for the extension none of this would have happened.
ETA someone asked if I knew she was watching my kids- no, I didn’t. I assumed they were at home with my husband while I was working.
My husband’s crossdressing is the bane of my existence
It makes me sick. All of this started right after we got married. And I do mean RIGHT after. On our honeymoon, he wanted to wear the lingerie I had brought for myself. Then, he shaved his beard and his entire body. He started wearing my clothes. He would only use razors, shaving cream, body lotion, etc that smelled super girly. I was not into this at all, but I wanted to be a good wife so I tried to indulge him. I bought him lots of lingerie and pretended I liked it. I did this to avoid a fight. Now he had started watching adult videos. Pretty soon he no longer wanted to sleep with me. It was always the strap-on or some other weird kinky stuff. We were always kinky before but it never involved crossdressing.
He started tucking and even going out in public in bimbo mode. Our intimacy was extremely emotionally exhausting for me but I did it anyway because I didn’t want a fight. I even brought in an old fling of mine to spend a weekend with us. My husband was dressed up the whole time. I feel sick even remembering this experience, but at the time I just did it on autopilot so my husband would be satisfied. Soon after this, he convinced me to buy him a $600 chastity device. This was sort of fun for me at first. But then he decided he wanted to get it resized. He got one that was about 3 sizes too small. It would take him 40+ mins to get it on because he really had to jam himself in there. It was painful to look at. I was afraid this would cause permanent damage and I begged him to stop. He wouldn’t listen. He wanted to shrink his manhood. This made me incredibly angry, but I bottled it up.
His crossdressing just kept escalating from there. We had an agreement that he would not do anything permanent, and that he had only one hall pass per year. The hall pass thing I had agreed to before we got married, because I already knew he also liked guys and I accepted it. There is one thing a man has that I don’t, so I agreed to let him get that elsewhere once per year. For almost the whole first year of marriage, he was a walking kink. I then found emails between him and a hormone replacement clinic. He was asking them about doing a consultation to go on estrogen. That was the straw that broke the camels back. We had a really long discussion about it, and I told him that if he does this I am gone. The next day he went backpacking to find himself. I was creating an exit plan while he was gone, fully expecting him to come home and tell me that this fetish is more important to him than I am. But actually, he came back a changed man. He wanted to be normal again!
That was almost a year ago, and things have been amazing since then. We’ve even adopted the traditional lifestyle, he works and I stay home. I take care of all the cooking and cleaning. We even do domestic discipline. Things have been so wonderful. It’s been almost a year since he stopped with all that. I’ve never been this happy. I found out we’re having a baby! We were over the moon! And then…
He tells me he wants to start cross dressing again. He said he’ll only do it for “Locktober”. I told him then you must mean next year, not this year because I will be newly postpartum by then and I can’t deal with that in such a vulnerable state, nevermind that I also won’t be feeling up for any intimacy either. He considers this, then says he’ll do it in June this year (I’ll be 6 months then). I try to put it out of my mind, since at this time it was only February. But I’m already thinking of places I can go for that whole month of June so that I don’t have to participate in this crap again. This fetish is absolutely repulsive to me and I don’t think that I can slap on a brave face and suffer through it. Maybe I can for a month, I did it for a year! But I’m thinking it would probably just be easier if I am away somewhere while he’s at home doing that.
We’ve been here before. Either I put on an Oscar worthy performance, and enthusiastically participate in whatever depraved kinky crap he wants to do, or he withholds all love and affection from me until I do. I feel like he’s slipping away and I’m losing him again to this disgusting, life ruining fetish. When he stopped cross dressing last year, I told him that I will not go back to home doing this full time. I can’t. His entire life revolved around this kink. He assured me that he was over it, and no longer found it appealing. That it was a phase. I believed him. And now we’re here. What can I do. Grin and bear it I guess? I feel trapped. I felt trapped before, but now I’m pregnant so I’m REALLY trapped.
An Indonesian teenager, now aged 19, recently pled guilty to a series of charges on 23 October, including assault and being a member of an unlawful assembly, according to The Straits Times.
The youth, whose identity remains concealed due to a legal gag order, was supposed to plead guilty in December 2022 for offenses, including committing mischief.
However, back in March, he fled and became involved in a violent knife attack at Rest Bugis Hotel.
A History of Offenses
The teenager’s legal troubles began back in November 2019 when he was convicted of several offenses, including dishonest misappropriation of property.
As a consequence, he was ordered to undergo reformative training, aimed at rehabilitating young offenders.
After completing the program, he was released but required to wear an electronic tagging (e-tagging) device to monitor his whereabouts.
However, in July 2021, instead of abiding by the law, he armed himself with a metal rod and, in engaged in a confrontation with a group of teenagers over a dispute involving vaporizer pods, at Toa Payoh at about 2pm in the afternoon.
Escalating Incidents
On the same night as the confrontation, the Indonesian teenager took a drastic step. He cut off the strap of his e-tagging device, effectively evading authorities’ surveillance.
This act led to his arrest on July 26, 2021. He was expected to plead guilty in court on December 14, 2022, but he jumped bail, resulting in a warrant for his arrest.
The situation escalated on the night of March 27, 2023, when an incident occurred at the Rest Bugis Hotel.
Norliana Hazuliana, a friend of the teenager, was involved in a dispute with a 20-year-old man, who insulted her and criticized her relationship due to her boyfriend’s incarceration.
This incident prompted Norliana to invite the Indonesian youth and another individual, Mohammad Ghufran Sinarfadhli, to the hotel room.
The Violent Confrontation
Despite not having a motorcycle license, the Indonesian teenager, armed with two serrated knives, rode a motorcycle to the hotel in the Kallang area, with Ghufran riding pillion.
Upon their arrival at Rest Bugis Hotel, they were taken to the room by Norliana, where they confronted a 19-year-old woman.
The Indonesian youth slashed the woman twice with a knife before Norliana intervened. The violence didn’t stop there, as they proceeded to attack the 20-year-old man before fleeing the scene.
The consequences of this violent encounter were severe, with the female victim sustaining two large wounds, and the male victim left with multiple slash wounds, including injuries to his head and arms.
He was later taken to the hospital and diagnosed with injuries that may result in permanent disabilities.
The Aftermath
Following the attack, the Indonesian teenager was spotted by police officers running away from the scene, eventually dropping a karambit knife. He was arrested after a half-hour chase, with Ghufran’s arrest following the next day.
The recent court hearing has called for a report to assess the Indonesian teenager’s suitability for another round of reformative training, with his case adjourned to November.
Well, the most delicious is often found at the cheapest places such as hawkers and coffee shops. But not all think so.
A man recently shared a story online about how he ended up with a girl that is breaking his bank. He describes the girl as a spoiled brat that judges everything at face value.
Here is the Story:
People tio ToTo tio 4D, I tio one girl that is draining my savings. She has no thoughts for the future. Everything is about her “perfect” Instagram profile.
I met my current girlfriend back in Poly and she was a thrifty person until she got a high paying job. Although her job is not considered that high it is not bad for someone her age. For context we are both 24.
She started playing Instagram and wants to build a profile to look like an influencer, but deep down I know that she is very vain and does not have many talents. In terms of looks, by far I give her 6.5 points. 6.5 points from a long shot or viewing her from far away.
The worse part she is so addicted to the attention of about 2,0000 followers she is constantly posting photos of herself at expensive places. She is sort of using me to pay for her extravagant meals so that she can appear to be “atas” on Instagram.
There was once I told her I was craving for some good old Hokkien Mee and guess what she said?
“We must eat at places where the dish is at least $50, so people will know. I am a high flying influencer”
The most lan pa thing is, that her salary is high for her age but not high enough to eat every meal at a $50/dish restaurant. At most I let her eat 8 meals a month at this kind of restaurant and shes broke.
But the thing is, she has been making me pay and says “If you love me then do it for me”.
I got together with her when we were not well off and even eating cup noodles was a happen moment for us.
She is beginning to lose everything that matters and the relationship is going downhill. She don’t feel it but I do.
I told her several times that we can eat normal things once in a while but she insist that every date needs to be at some atas place.
I’m not cheapo neither am I poor, just that in terms of thinking about the future this is something that affects the relationship.
But she rather spends her money on makeup and clothes rather than on savings, investment and insurance.
Some might say she is investing in her Instagram profile, but trust me she won’t go far unless she can afford plastic surgery. Since she has no savings, plastic surgery is out of the question.
Sometimes I really want to answer her “jiak sai” when she ask me where to go.
I’m thinking what is the best way for me to break the news to her. “It’s over”.
ERP 2.0 On-Board Unit Installation Starting in November with Fleet Vehicles
All other vehicles will be progressively scheduled for installation from 1Q2024
The Land Transport Authority (LTA) will begin installation of the new on-board unit (OBU) under the ERP 2.0 system in phases from next month, starting with fleet vehicles.
2. The new Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS)-based system will replace the existing ERP system. The current system has been in operation for 25 years (since 1998) and is reaching the end of its operational lifespan. With that, the current in-vehicle unit (IU) will be replaced with the new OBU, which comprises three components – a processing unit, an antenna, and a touchscreen display. For motorcycles, these three components are integrated into a single-piece OBU. The OBU will be provided free of charge to all eligible Singapore-registered vehicles[1] during the installation period. See Annex A for more information on the OBU.
Installation to Commence in Phases
3. From 1 November 2023, fleet vehicles[2], for motorcycles and all other vehicles, will have the OBU installed progressively. Vehicle owners will receive a notification[3] from LTA when it is their turn, with instructions on how they can schedule an installation appointment.
4. All other vehicles will progressively have their OBU installed. From the first quarter of 2024, new vehicles will be fitted with the OBU. Remaining existing vehicles will be scheduled for installation in batches, based on the age of the vehicles. The OBU exercise is expected to be completed by end-2025.
5. Installation is free if it is completed within the two-month period stated in the notification. More details about the installation for individual vehicles will be announced early next year.
What Motorists Can Expect
6. The touchscreen display will provide motorists with ERP-related information (e.g., ERP charges and card balance), as well as road and traffic updates, such as the locations of Silver Zones, School Zones, speed cameras and bus lanes.
7. In the future when all vehicles have transitioned to ERP 2.0, the touchscreen display can support additional features such as real time traffic alerts (e.g., road or lane closures, accidents, or heavy traffic), payment of roadside parking and tolls at the checkpoints (Singapore-registered cars only).
8. Motorists are strongly encouraged to install all three OBU components to access the full range of features, such as paying for roadside parking. However, LTA has also considered public feedback to cater to motorists who wish to opt out of installing the touchscreen display. These motorists will be able to access key OBU information via compatible mobile applications[4] on their smartphones instead. In addition, LTA has released a software development kit (SDK) to allow software developers to develop handphone applications that integrate and display ERP 2.0 data, such as key charging and traffic information[5]. In releasing the SDK, we have put in place strict security safeguards such as ensuring that applications can only receive aforementioned key ERP information from the OBU in a one-way manner, but they will not be able to read other data or make any changes to the data.
No change to Current Charging Framework
9. The OBU is designed to work with existing systems, including ERP and parking gantries, and there will be no change to how motorists are currently charged for ERP during the transition period. While ERP 2.0 has the capability to support distance-based charging through its GNSS, LTA has no immediate plans to introduce distance-based charging. For more information on ERP 2.0, please visit https://go.gov.sg/erp2onemotoring.
What is the new OBU
Annex A: The OBU and Configuration in Vehicles
The single-piece OBU for motorcycles includes a processing unit and a small touchscreen for riders to toggle through different functions. It will be mounted on motorcycles’ handlebars.
OBU to be mounted on handlebars, similar to IU today
The three-piece OBU, which will be installed in all other vehicles, comprises an antenna, processing unit and touchscreen display. This design takes into consideration operational differences between motorcycles and other vehicles. For example, heat dissipation is a key factor as the ambient temperature in an enclosed vehicle is significantly higher and would not suit a one-piece design. The functions of the three components are as follows:
a. Antenna: Communicates with ERP and car park gantries and GNSS. b. Processing unit: Processes all payment-related transactions. c. Touchscreen display: Notifies motorists about ERP and payment info, and provides other info such as locations of nearby Silver Zones, bus lanes etc. It also allows drivers to control the volume of OBU alerts.
The antenna will be mounted on the windscreen in a way that does not obstruct the view of drivers or distract them, without compromising on its communication with the gantries and GNSS.
The processing unit will be mounted on the side of the front passenger footwell to manage all payment-related transactions. The feasibility of this position in different vehicles will be assessed at the workshop and alternate locations will be suggested if necessary.

Just some context, I just got this job a few months ago and yesterday, my boss caught me coming out of a psychiatrist clinic…
It was in this place where there were many clinics so I’m not sure where she came from. We left at the same time and I took the bus while she drove a car.
Anyways… I was so shocked I just gave a “hi” and then ran off.
On hindsight I should have just ignored her and maybe denied everything but… well, whats done is done.
Problem is I didn’t declare that I had mental illness and to be fair, they didn’t ask. Idk how am I going to face her on Monday morning… so far she hasn’t asked me about it yet…
Netizens’ comments
Maybe your boss also goes to the same psychiatrist clinic.
She won’t ask you about it unless she’s also prepared to answer why she was also there herself. Just behave normally lah, there’s absolutely nothing to feel anxious about. The more you stigmatise seeking mental health treatment, the more it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.
In a bizarre turn of events, a man found himself behind bars after attempting to deceive authorities following a minor car accident.
29-year-old Chai Wen Hin, was sentenced on 23 October to two days in jail after pleading guilty to giving false information to a public servant, according to Channel NewsAsia.
The Scene of the Deception
The incident took place on May 11, 2021, along Park Crescent at around 1 pm. Chai, who was standing near his parked car, had an unexpected encounter with a 72-year-old man named Mr. Ho Jin Sam.
Mr. Ho purportedly reversed his vehicle into Chai’s parked car, causing a minor collision, and purportedly refused to give his contact information to the latter.
After the accident, Chai went to see a doctor, and here’s where the deception began. He claimed to the doctor that he was inside his stationary car during the collision, emphasizing that he had his seatbelt on and suffered neck pain as a result of the impact.
This false narrative would be the foundation for his later claims and actions.
False Statements to the Authorities
Chai’s deceit continued as he proceeded to the police station to file a report about the traffic accident, stating that he was merely waiting for a friend when Mr. Ho’s vehicle reversed into his car and hit his front bumper.
He claimed to have approached Mr. Ho, who professed ignorance about the collision, and was rejected when he asked for his contact details, only allowing him to photograph his license plate instead.
In his report to the General Insurance Association, Chai declared his intention to make an insurance claim against Mr. Ho, alleging a neck injury as a result of the accident. To support his claim, he asserted that his neck felt uncomfortable on the right side due to the impact.
The Unraveling of Deception
The truth finally began to emerge when the investigation took an unexpected turn. Closed-circuit television footage revealed that Chai was in fact outside his vehicle at the time of the accident, directly contradicting his earlier statements.
With this evidence in hand, the traffic police investigation officer confronted Chai, forcing him to retract his false report.
