30 Y.O WOMAN BRINGS HOME $2.1K/MONTH, SAD TO SEE YOUNGER PEOPLE EARN MORE THAN HER

I’m 30 yrs old with still such a low pay. Is anyone in a similar boat as me?

I saw another post from a couple of hours ago, where ppl were stating their starting pays, and many of them were stating like $4k. (Most of them were university science graduates).

My pay is $2.6k.. I’m an art teacher. After cpf I only take home $2.1k, and im already 30. It does kind of suck seeing what other people are earning who are younger than me.

Is anyone in the same conundrum as me?

Netizens’ comments

  1. Hey was in the same boat as you. Start freelancing aside from teaching art at an enrichment centre to earn more. If you have an established art portfolio it’s even better to teach art at your own capacity than at a centre as well.
  2. 30 in a few years time, and my pay is only 2.8k. Most of my former classmates earn $3.5k and above as their starting pay.
  3. Somehow, I’m getting the feeling that you’re confusing yourself. Your actions doesn’t seem financially driven, and I’m not saying that’s wrong – everyone has different wants in life. What I’m saying is: if what you do, i.e teaching art, is bringing you happiness, then don’t cloud yourself when you read posts talking about paygrades. Art and Education unfortunately doesn’t make its worth in Singapore, and I suspect this is something you knew going in, but went ahead anyway out of passion.
    If you continue down the enrichment centre route, it’s not going to be any much different monetarily than what you make now. Worst yet, most of them are importing younger and cheaper teachers who are fully qualified for a fraction of the price. If you do go back to NIE, find out what the MOE teachers are making and work out your cost and time-cost of going back to school. The 2-3 years of studying downtime needs to be factored in as cost as well given the loss of income.
    I’ve recently met a painter who moved to NZ to teach horse-riding. After expanding her network and horizons for a few years, she just headed back home earlier this year to start her own art gallery with some friends she met in NZ.
    Life could literally take you anywhere, you just have to decide if you are passion or financially driven.
    I’m envious that you have found a calling so strong that you could see yourself chasing after as a career. Not many of us are lucky that way – most of us just pick what we can stand doing and pray we get better at it.

DAWN YEOH SHUTS DOWN RUMORS THAT SHE IS DATING TERENCE CAO, SAYS SHE’S SINGLE & AVAILABLE

In the realm of social media, where reality and fiction often blur, 37-year-old actress-host Dawn Yeoh made headlines recently for her playful yet convincing pregnancy prank during a Facebook livestream for her e-commerce platform, Sibay Shiok.

55-year-old veteran actor Terence Cao, who is also the co-owner of the company, joined in on the act, wrapping his arms around her and playfully hugging her from behind.

While this prank might have left many viewers amused and intrigued, it also raised numerous questions.

The Prank that Got Everyone Talking

Setting the Stage

The two-hour Facebook livestream was filled with lively banter, product promotions, and, of course, the unexpected twist of Dawn Yeoh appearing pregnant.

As the couple, both well-known figures in the entertainment industry, played along, congratulatory messages and speculations about their relationship status flooded the comment section.

The Reveal

Dawn Yeoh took the opportunity to clarify the situation during a press conference for the upcoming King of Hawkers movie on 30 September.

She urged viewers not to take it seriously and that it was all for show. She said that she had told Cao that she’d be playing the role of a mother in a new movie and the latter thought she was pregnant and suggested using that idea for publicity.

During the press conference, Dawn reiterated that the pregnancy prank was solely for entertainment purposes. She added that Cao and her are “live partners, not life partners.”

A Respectful Nod to Rebecca Lim

Interestingly, Dawn and Terence also revealed that their pregnancy prank was partly inspired by the news of actress Rebecca Lim being four-and-a-half months pregnant.

In a delightful twist, they wanted to use their prank as a way to playfully congratulate her on this joyous occasion.

The Dynamics Between Dawn and Terence

More Than Co-stars

While fans may have wondered about the possibility of a romantic relationship between Dawn Yeoh and Terence Cao, Dawn clarified that they share a bond akin to that of siblings and that their relationship is strictly platonic. She also added that she is currently single and available.

EX-GANG LEADER ARRESTED IN 1996 MURDER OF RAPPER TUPAC, ALMOST 3 DECADES AFTER HIS DEATH

EX-GANG LEADER ARRESTED IN 1996 MURDER OF RAPPER TUPAC, ALMOST 3 DECADES AFTER HIS DEATH

The world of hip-hop was forever altered on that fateful night in 1996 when the iconic rapper Tupac Shakur was fatally shot in a drive-by shooting in Las Vegas.

For over two decades, the question of who was responsible for this tragic event has lingered, haunting fans and authorities alike.

In a stunning turn of events, recent developments have brought us closer to the truth. Nevada’s grand jury has indicted 60-year-old Duane “Keffe D” Davis, a former gang leader, on one count of murder with a deadly weapon, according to CNN.

The Background

Tupac Shakur, a New York-born hip-hop legend, was just 25 years old when he was gunned down. The motive behind his murder remained shrouded in mystery until now.

It is believed that the deadly shooting was meticulously planned as an act of revenge. Davis, known as “Keffe D,” orchestrated the attack following a brawl between Shakur and his nephew in a Las Vegas casino.

The Arrest

In a significant development, Davis was apprehended near his Las Vegas residence in the early hours of a Friday morning.

The Las Vegas police (LVMPD) wasted no time sharing his mugshot with the world. This arrest is particularly noteworthy because, as Greg Kading, a retired Los Angeles police detective who dedicated years to investigating Shakur’s murder, stated, “All the other direct conspirators or participants are all dead.” Davis is now deemed “the last man standing” in this long-standing case.

Davis’ Role

During the court proceedings, prosecutor Marc DiaGiacomo characterized Davis as the “on-ground, on-site commander” who “ordered the death” of the late icon.

It’s essential to note that Davis had a history as a former leader of the South Side Compton Crips street gang, which undoubtedly played a pivotal role in the events that unfolded in 1996.

The Breakthrough

At a press conference held on the day of Davis’ arrest, police officer Jason Johansson shed light on what led to this breakthrough.

He revealed that a brawl had occurred between Shakur and Orlando Anderson, Davis’s late nephew, in a casino shortly before the rapper was shot.

In a shocking revelation, Johansson displayed hotel security camera footage showing Anderson being assaulted. This confrontation served as the catalyst for the retaliatory shooting of Shakur while he was waiting in his car at a traffic stop.

Johansson emphasized that the case had always been viewed as gang-related, but it wasn’t until 2018 that new information came to light, reinvigorating the investigation.

He also mentioned that Davis had made “own admissions” to media outlets, acknowledging his presence in the car from which the shots that killed Tupac were fired.

A Long-Awaited Justice

At the same press conference, Sheriff Kevin McMahill, visibly emotional, addressed the media and the world. He expressed, “For 27 years, the family of Tupac Shakur has been waiting for justice.”

He went on to refute any claims that the LVMPD did not consider the murder of Tupac Shakur a priority, stating unequivocally, “I’m here to tell you: that was simply not the case.”

Sheriff McMahill concluded by affirming the LVMPD’s unwavering commitment to holding those responsible for Tupac’s violent murder accountable.

It seems that, after years of perplexity and uncertainty, the wheels of justice are finally turning.

S’PORE AH LONGS SET FIRE TO M’SIAN WOMAN’S HOME & THREATEN HER CHILDREN

In the quiet town of Karak, Pahang, a family’s peaceful existence has been shattered by a wave of terror and harassment inflicted upon them by loansharks linked to a syndicate in Singapore.

In a chilling sequence of events, their home was set ablaze not once, but twice, as these ruthless individuals sought to extract payment for alleged unpaid debts.

The Initial Contact

The nightmare began to unfold on September 7th when a loanshark contacted the wife of a 29-year-old man, who we will refer to as Chong.

The loanshark asserted that Chong’s husband, known only as Kwan, who had been working as a chef in Singapore for the past two years, had borrowed money from their syndicate, according to The New Straits Times.

The Loan Application

Kwan explained that he had initiated a loan application for SGD10,000 (RM34,435) back in May after clicking a link from a money lending company on social media.

However, he later canceled the application, as conveyed by his wife. This, however, did not appease the loanshark. Unsatisfied with Kwan’s explanation, they demanded an immediate payment of SGD2,000 (RM6,883) for the canceled application.

Escalation of Threats

The threats soon escalated in severity. The loanshark menacingly claimed that harm would befall the couple’s two young children, aged four and five, if their demands to settle the debts were not met. The family was caught in a harrowing predicament as they attempted to navigate these treacherous waters.

Relentless Demands

In a desperate attempt to secure their safety, Kwan complied with the loanshark’s demands and deposited SGD200 (RM688) as ordered. However, this did not bring an end to their torment. The loansharks continued to demand more money, causing the financial burden on the family to mount.

False Claims and Arson

The situation took a horrifying turn when, despite no evidence of such a transaction, the loanshark falsely claimed to have transferred SGD300 (RM1,031) into Kwan’s account.

This deception was accompanied by an act of arson as the loanshark set fire to the family’s home compound on two separate occasions, September 11th and 15th.

They demanded an exorbitant SGD3,000 (RM10,332) as ‘fees’ for the individual responsible for these dangerous acts.

The Perpetual State of Fear

The relentless campaign of terror waged by the loansharks has left the family in a state of perpetual fear. Chong, the wife, had to make the heart-wrenching decision to quit her job as a clerk and keep her children away from school due to concerns for their safety.

The loansharks, in their ruthless pursuit, did not stop at targeting Chong and her immediate family. They also harassed her mother-in-law and sister-in-law, utilizing various phone numbers.

Seeking Help and Legal Recourse

Desperation led Chong to seek assistance from Datuk Seri Michael Chong, the head of the MCA Public Services and Complaints bureau at Wisma MCA. “We are living in terror, and I dare not send my children to school for fear of their safety after the loansharks said they will take away my children,” she revealed.

Forced to Return

Kwan, who was working tirelessly in Singapore, was forced to quit his job and return to Malaysia to be with his family in this time of distress. The loansharks had not only disrupted their daily lives but also torn apart their sense of security and stability.

FIRE @ 2ND-FLOOR HOUGANG HDB UNIT & 50 PEOPLE EVACUATED, 1 PERSON KENA SMOKE INHALATION

In the heart of Singapore’s Hougang neighborhood, a typical Friday afternoon took a dramatic turn when a fire broke out in a residential building.

The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) swiftly responded to the emergency, ensuring the safety of residents and containing the blaze.

A Sudden Crisis Unfolds

The incident occurred at approximately 1:15 pm at Block 376B Hougang Street 32. This peaceful residential area was suddenly thrust into chaos as flames and thick, billowing smoke engulfed a second-storey Housing Board flat. Passers-by were left in shock as they witnessed the unfolding drama.

The SCDF wasted no time and firefighters arrived at the scene armed with water jets and hose reels, ready to combat the raging inferno.

Ensuring the Safety of Residents

The safety of residents is always a top priority in such situations. In this case, the police and SCDF worked seamlessly to evacuate approximately 50 people from the affected block to ensure they stayed out of harm’s way.

Assessing Smoke Inhalation

Amid the chaos, one person was assessed by SCDF personnel for smoke inhalation. While the situation was undoubtedly stressful, the individual chose not to be taken to the hospital.

As the fire was extinguished and the immediate danger averted, attention turned to the cause of this unexpected incident.

An investigation is now underway to determine the source and circumstances surrounding the fire. The outcome of this inquiry will shed light on what led to this unfortunate event.

Other recent fires

A 55-year-old British man, Jonathan Neal, was charged in court earlier today (7 September) for allegedly falsely triggering the fire alarms at Duo Residences, along Fraser Street.

This incident occurred following a dispute with the security officers, all while Neal was under the influence of alcohol.

What happened

At approximately 1 a.m. on July 13, 2023, authorities received a distress call concerning a drunken man causing a commotion at the hotel and residential mixed development located along Fraser Street.

Upon arriving at the scene, preliminary investigations by SPF revealed that Jonathan Neal had engaged in a heated dispute with the security officers stationed at the apartment complex.

This altercation took an alarming turn when Neal allegedly damaged the fire alarm activation panels, inadvertently triggering the fire alarm system.

The repercussions of Neal’s actions were immediate and far-reaching. The false fire alarm resulted in the evacuation of at least 50 hotel guests from Duo Residences.

Panic and confusion gripped the premises as guests and residents hurriedly left the building, unaware that the fire alarm had been falsely triggered.

Jonathan Neal has since sought legal representation and is scheduled to appear in court on October 4.

WOMAN DOESN’T WANT TO INVITE STEPDAUGHTER TO HER SISTER’S BDAY

My husband, Chris, and I have been married for almost 10 years. He has three daughters with his ex-wife: Madison (F23), Adaleine (F17), and Lana (F10).   

Lana and Adaleine live with us, while Madison lives with her mother and she got into two extremely good schools.

I didn’t really care; we never really got along well. She resents her dad for moving on so fast while her mom was single for another 2 years.

I just want to add that me and my husband didn’t know each other until after they had divorced. We met at a support group.

They divorced because she had an affair with another man, and when she found out she was pregnant with Lana, she didn’t know who the father was and couldn’t lie about it, but Lana did end up being my husband’s.

which is fair because we got married after only dating for 3 months, but it doesn’t justify the constant awful behavior.

When I was pregnant, she refused to help me with simple tasks like going grocery shopping or cooking. and when my son was born, she would refuse to watch him.

I don’t expect much from her. I just want her to help with her brother. It’s not like she doesn’t want to watch him because anytime my husband asks her, she’s more than willing. 

We are having a birthday party for Lana and I’m planning everything. Her mother is coming to surprise her since she usually only sees her every once in a while.

While we were on the phone, she mentions Madison coming with her and I tell her she isn’t allowed to come.

She got extremely angry and started saying that Lana isn’t my child and I’m robbing her of having a relationship with her mother. I understand Lana isn’t my child, but I’m paying for everything, excluding the flight.

Madison and her see each other for 2 months every year, and according to Adaleine, she’s very rude the entire time.

I may be overstepping my boundaries, but I do feel like it is justified.

Also, adding that the person who hurt my husband was not his ex-wife, it was his ex-from before, around the time, and he and his ex-wife came to terms

WOMAN FINDS IT AWFUL TO SLEEP WITH HER BF BUT LIES TO HIM ABOUT IT

A netizen shared about how she hates having intercourse with her boyfriend but that she has to pretend to like it.

Here is the story:

I love my boyfriend but our intercourse is awful and I pretend it’s great.

I love him in every way, except when we sleep together. It gets painful sometimes, and I hate doing it from the back (he loves it).

I tried to tell him once but he smiled at me genuinely and said

“I know you’re lying, you’re just upset with me at the moment “.

I was upset with him about something unrelated to it and this was when I chose to to tell him, about the awful experience.

I haven’t mentioned it since.

Netizens comments

To be fair, if a woman was told she is horrible at intercourse and dry as the desert, she would be insecure about it too.

The reality is, men do say this to women whether true or not. Usually because their private parts are small and they aren’t good

The partner is everything though. I like sleeping with my partner, I thought I’d be a little less addicted to it the older I get, but nope.

I have almost a bottomless pit of patience though. Nearly a year I went without it. with my ex, but conversations around it came out negatively.

Had a similar convo with my wife the other night and it was a beautiful and constructive conversation.

GF FOUND OUT THAT BF SLEEPING WITH BOTH MEN AND WOMEN

I was there for him through everything. I helped him financially. I helped him emotionally. I gave him advice and encouragement when he didn’t have it. I was there for him when he didn’t have anyone else in his life (that should have been a red flag).

My birthday is in a week and I wanted to spend it with him. I also was planning to buy him a huge teddy bear, his favorite candy and going out to dinner with him for our anniversary. But instead, I found out from his friend that numerous times after I left, he’d invite other girls AND SOMETIMES GUYS over and sleep with them. This explains why he asked me to help him move his bed from his wall that’s next to his roommates wall (she still ended up finding out and showing me evidence). He doesn’t care, has blamed me and said it’s my fault for volunteering do everything I did for him, and has blocked my number.

I accept my part in this. I gave him way too much soon and have to take full responsibility for it. But I still feel very hurt. And I still feel like a loser.

Here are what netizens think:

  • It really isn’t your fault you got cheated on and taken advantage of. It sucks that you sound like such a sweet and giving person and it ended up wasted on some self-centered jerk. Him blaming you is a weak deflection.
  • You aren’t a loser. You cared for someone who wasn’t what you thought he was. You learn from these experiences. Best wishes.
  • You’re not a loser- a loser is a person who cheats on their partner. You gave what you wanted to give and what felt right for you to give in a relationship. Unfortunately he used you and has hurt you in doing so. The best thing you can do is block him and look after you. He took a lot from you and now it’s time to give it back to yourself. You deserved better. He is not better.
