BF DON’T WANT TO “PLAY” WITH GF, CAUSE PLAYS VIDEO GAMES MORE THAN SHIOK

0

(24F) feel like I’m a crazy girlfriend.

My BF (26M) and I are busy with work during the weekdays, and we meet only during the weekends. But, we do spend some time at night together, like watching series on Netflix, but not every day.

Here’s the problem. Whenever we decide to watch a drama or movie, he will take his time to bathe, play his phone games, and sometimes even nap. Because of that, we can watch a maximum of 1 episode or a movie and we will head to sleep cause he says tired, and the next day he needs to work.

But, when it comes to playing computer games with his friend (girl), he can rush to eat, bathe, and play until midnight even though there is work the following day.

He is also, to a certain inflexible… For example, once I texted him to do a certain activity with me, but his friend (girl) texted him 5 minutes earlier to play the game. It’s not like he replied to her then I asked. He saw both our messages at the same time and told me he’d play with his friend since she asked first. I just wish he would prioritize me at that point.

To be honest, I feel jealous and I feel that I weigh lesser than him. I want to voice it to him about this but I feel that he will view me as a crazy girlfriend because once their friend said she is one of the “boys” and she got a boyfriend too-when his friend’s GF voiced out that she is jealous.

Not sure if my feelings are valid or if I’m the crazy girlfriend?

Is there any advice on how not to feel this way or how I should open this topic to my BF without him feeling like I’m the crazy girlfriend?

Here are what netizens think:

  • High chance of many more underlying reasons why he would rather prefer to do something else with his friends be it guy or gal.
  • Example: they are friends and there is no expectations from the other party, but there is certain expectations that he feels that you may have? The quality of playing games with friends could relive stress.. but activities with you could be more stressful than relaxing?.. coz of, again, your expectations?
  • Find more guy friend. Chat with them. Go out and eat with them. Tell him you are too busy for him. And is time to shift out. Not together with him. Make yourself unavailable
  • Bf is either crazy for the game or crazy for the friend. Either way, he doesn’t seem that crazy for you.
  • A man who’s more interested in playing online games rather than playing with you, needs to dumped so he has more free time to indulge in his hobbies.

CHINA GOVT OFFICIAL: TAIWAN IS PART OF CHINA BECAUSE GOT 105 CHINESE EATERIES THERE

0

A PRC government official who is a spokesperson for China, Hua Chunying, made an earth-shattering claim that Taiwan was a part of China because there were more than 100 Chinese eateries in Taipei.

She posted a tweet on 7 August, listing the different restaurants in Taiwan, and saying that “palates don’t cheat”, drawing ridicule from online netizens.

She tried to solidify her claim by saying there are 38 Shandong dumpling restaurants and 67 Shanxi noodle restaurants in Taipei.

She said on Twitter: “Baidu Maps show that there are 38 Shandong dumpling restaurants and 67 Shanxi noodle restaurants in Taipei. Palates don’t cheat. Taiwan has always been a part of China. The long lost child will eventually return home.”

Netizens, unsurprisingly, poked fun at her reasoning, with one netizen retorting that since Taiwan has Ramen restaurants as well, that makes Taiwan a part of Japan.

Another netizen claimed that there were 8,500 KFC restaurants in China, so that means China “undoubtedly belongs to KFC”.

One more netizen added: “3,500 Mcdonalds in China. 8,000 KFCs in China. 1,200 burger kings in China. 2,500 pizza huts in China. 5,400 Starbucks in China. Your country belongs to us and soon we will come to collect.”

Another comment said that based on Hua’s logic, the whole world belongs to Italy because every town on earth had at least a pizza eater in it.

Another netizen then brought Malaysia into the drama, saying that since there are 50 Malaysian restaurants in London, it belongs to Malaysia.

WORKERS’ PARTY – S’PORE SURVIVED THE PANDEMIC, NOW WE MUST BE UNITED

0

The Workers’ Party (WP) shared their National Day message on Facebook, via Secretary-General and leader of the opposition Pritam Singh.

They said that WP MPs have advanced proposals in Parliament to help Singaporeans cope with the high cost of living and other concerns.

They also added that we have survived the pandemic as a nation, and we must now stay united to navigate the path ahead, with a sense of purpose, to overcome today’s challenges.

Workers’ Party’s national day message

National Day Message 2022 from The Secretary-General of The Workers’ Party

Our journey as a nation started 57 years ago, but the first stirrings of our shared identity emerged when we cast our first votes in the 1955 Legislative Assembly elections. David Marshall, Singapore’s first Chief Minister, went to London to try and achieve self-determination for Singapore. However, the British famously had reservations about our ability to survive then. Independence was thus a daunting prospect, with the odds stacked against us after separation from Malaysia in 1965.

A shortage of domestic industry, a heavy reliance on foreign businesses, and a lack of housing were all challenges that had to be overcome. Yet our pioneers overcame these through their sheer determination to make life better for their children. By the 1990s, we were one of the Four Asian Tigers, thanks to their hard work and drive.

Today, while we reap the rewards of their labour, we continue our search for solutions for our next step of development. In echoes of our early years, our over-reliance on foreign labour inputs, shortage of globally competitive local businesses, astronomical housing prices and high inflation present challenges to younger Singaporeans achieving their dreams. Working Singaporeans also have to contend with stiff global competition and all the pressures of modern life which place a strain on their financial resources and mental health.

Workers’ Party MPs have advanced proposals in Parliament to help Singaporeans cope with the high cost of living and other issues of concern. These proposals include using macroeconomic tools to mitigate inflation, making housing, medical treatment and transport more affordable, improving preventive health, breaking the poverty cycle, co-creating a stronger response to the climate emergency, empowering women to achieve their full potential and making our justice system more accessible. In our constituencies, our MPs and volunteers continue to reach out to residents to understand their concerns and help address their needs.

As a country, we have survived the dark clouds of a global pandemic, and a ray of sunlight is now shining through. We must navigate the path ahead with a sense of purpose and unity as fellow Singaporeans, even as we share many diverse aspirations and dreams. With a collective effort, we will be able to overcome today’s challenges to build Singapore into the nation we want it to be.

I wish all Singaporeans a very happy 57th National Day!

GIRL NOT HAPPY BF CHANGED HIS IG PASSWORD, CANNOT TRACK HIS ACTIVITIES ANYMORE

0

Admin pls assist me to post this! Seeking genuine advice.

My bf and I have been tgt for 2 years. He is currently a regular in the army and he frequently goes overseas for 1-2 mths for operations.

Last year end, I discovered his insta account password and logged in into it.

Everyday, I would enter to see the accounts he has searched, his DMs on his account and also view his friends’ profile.

Sometimes, I see that he searched for accounts of girls (influencers) on his insta, usually those girls who are wearing very revealing.

I do feel a bit uncomfortable about this, but understand that guys like to see these stuff.

Also, he is treating me well, always updating me on his whereabouts and making time to text me although he is overseas.

Recently, he changed his password and I have been logged out of his account and cannot enter it again.

I am now feeling insecure, because I cannot track his activities on insta while he is currently overseas on another operation.

I have crazy thoughts that what if he hooks up with other girls while he is overseas, text other girls online etc.

I feel irritated with myself for being insecure just because I cannot trace his social media activity now. Seeking for help thanks ????

Netizens’ comments

  • This is sick.
    Nothing wrong with your bf.
    It’s you. Get a life. There must be some mystery in the relationship. Don’t ever try to know every minor details of him, coz someday that’ll only make you bored of him. Don’t end it before the ends.
  • You wouldn’t have any healthy relationship with anyone when you have trust issue
  • See a therapist and seek professional help

WOMAN UPSET WITH POOR SERVICE @ SWENSENS, APOLOGISES AFTER FINDING OUT STAFF WAS AUTISTIC

0

Facebook user Sindhu RK Johnson, shared how she was with her son at Swensen’s for lunch where she experienced poor service from the server.

However, she later found out that the diner employs staff members who are youths with high functioning autism from the APSN, and apologised.

Here is what she said

PS : Please read till the end

My heart broke a little yesterday..

It was half day for my son n the nearest Child friendly restaurant/cafe was Swensen’s as such we went to Clementi Mall Swensen’s for lunch.

So when a table was ready, a waitress called us both in.. not ushered in but hand gestured like u know how u call a cat n pointed us to the table at the corner.

So we went, the table was wet.. like how the water condensation from the drinks were smeared across the table.. not dirty. So i gestured to a waitress to wipe it as my son is starting to play on the table with his cars.. to which the waitress went like “Dirty ?”.. n literally bend down to the surface of the table to look n than looked at me in a judgmental way n went to get a soaking wet towel to make it even worst..

At this point.. i just took my own tissue n wet wipe to clean the table. Following that i try gesturing a few time to the servers just standing ard and they weren’t busy. Couldn’t get any1 n i didn’t leave my seat because son was seated on their normal chair.. not highchair (wasn’t offered).. but that’s ok.

So i had a free drink coupon on Swensen’s app which i wanted to redeem. So i told myself nvm, I’ll wait for the food to be served. The guy came with food, i told him abt the drink coupon.. he completely blanked me off, put the food down n walked away(Zero interaction).. than i thought, maybe he is getting a server since i saw him walking out from the kitchen with my food earlier.. No, he straight went back in to the kitchen

N there were no cutleries for me.

Ok that is it.. I burst !

I went to the counter n got the manager n told him to follow me to the table since my 3yrs old was there n said i need to speak to him. I didn’t raise my voice or make a scene but i was very upset.

To be honest, i assumed i got this treatment because it was only me n my son. So technically what I would spend would be lesser than 2 paying adults.

I started voicing my grievances n the manager Oh so patiently heard me out. N than when i stopped what he said next broke my heart

90% of the staffs there were mid to high functioning autistic teenagers from APSN School

I profusely apologised to the manager n coveyed my suggestion to atleast make it known to patrons like what KFC does. Not a badge on them but some sign before they enter the restaurant.

N like what i suspected, Google reviews on Swensen’s were brutal

I’m writing this to just make known how wonderful it is for Swensen’s to be inclusive and give an opportunity but also be patient with the servers. N do support them and not boycott due to poor services if u ever had any. It isn’t intentional.

I also would like to give a shout out to the manager managing everything.. it really isn’t easy.

N please don’t jump the gun too quickly like myself.

Lately I’ve seen quite a few post with photos n videos floating ard on social media abt misbehaving kids.. how parents can’t control them.. we will never know their story.

If u see any kids acting out of the norm n being unruly or ‘naughty’ or uncontrollable.. don’t be too quick to judge the parents that they are bad parents or it’s poor upbringing.. there are more than meets the eye..

NETIZEN ON GETGO & BLUESG DRIVERS – IF YOU CAN’T AFFORD A CAR, DON’T DRIVE

0

Dear Getgo/BlueSG P-plate drivers – if you can’t afford a car, don’t drive.

Many of my friends and myself have had numerous close shaves with your reckless driving with sudden abrupt lane changes without signalling, drifting from lane and poor driving in general.

Take some responsibility for your actions please – dont use those cars for “learning and practicing”.

One of the most facepalm moments I had was this girl who tried to park for 10 minutes in the lot (not parallel), then after she left the car looking all contented of her parking, failed to realise she parked too close to the car on the left until it can’t open….

I’ve learnt to keep a very safe driving distance from these rental P-plate drivers, their road antics are scary af.

Netizens’ comments

  • To be fair, “sudden abrupt lane changes without signalling, drifting from lane and poor driving in general” are not limited to newbie, car-sharing or occasional drivers.
  • More amused that this has anything to do with people who use rental cars. So if buy own car with P-plate, can reckless drive? 
  • Gee, I wonder how many reported traffic accidents involve P-plate drivers.
    Ever tried looking at the accident photos and see a P-plate?
  • When people try to correlate 2 different thingS

DELIVERY DRIVER ALLEGEDLY LEFT MAN’S CHILLED ITEMS IN “OUTSIDE HEAT”

Facebook user Tomas Adam Laslo shared how his frozen and chilled items were allegedly left out in the open by his delivery driver, under temperatures of 33 degrees (he measured the temperature).

Here is what he said

Dear Everyone!

TLDR: Please be careful with Redmart delivery food safety-wise. They leave out frozen/ chilled products in outside heat carelessly.

My delivery slot was 17:00-19:00 so I arrived home around 16:45. At that point my items were waiting in front of the elevator (technically outside, 33C°) without insulated bag or icepacks on the ground floor of my building.

No 15 minutes warning text, no call if they can leave it there, nothing.

We decided to wait as items were on trolley, we didn’t want to take it, as it was clearly not “delivered”.

So we decided to wait for the return of the driver, in about 10 minutes, (when I started to take video bellow) he returned claiming he just went for 5 minutes to the toilet (we’ve been waiting 10+ minutes there already, and toilet is like good 5-10 minutes away).

How long my half melted food items where out in the dangerous heat?

I understand driver has to go to toilet, but can’t like leave my frozen/ chilled stuff in the cold van?

Are redmart grossly overscheduling drivers, where they have to take risk with our food and health?

Are they going to pay for the treatment if my pregnant wife gets sick from dangerously handled food?

GIRL MOVES IN WITH BF & REVEALS HER TRUE COLORS & DIRTY HABITS, BF CANNOT TAHAN

0

I’ve been dating my gf for a year. Before we got together, she gave me the impression she was a person who loves to exercise, eat well, and take great care of herself. She doesn’t drink or smoke.

Doesn’t eat junk or processed food too. She moved into my place 4 months ago and I find she doesn’t seem to be what she says she is.

She fills the kitchen with chips and chocolates. She orders Korean alcoholic drinks in cartons and has more than a can every night.

The freezer is full of frozen fried food, sweet drinks, snacks and ice cream. She tells me when it’s that time of the month she will have craving for these kinds of food. I can accept it but that time of the month can’t possibly be every day? She’s snacking and drinking every day while watching k drama. Then she will have a craving to have Korean instant noodles as supper at the same time.

She used to be dressier in the beginning and would deck out in colours that suited her, but now she wears full-on black every day and it really doesn’t sit well in my eyes.

It’s like she’s ready to go to a funeral anytime. I’m a visual person and I also make effort to look good for her. I still go for regular haircuts and I still cycle and lift weights. I brush my teeth before I kiss her but she doesn’t. She doesn’t bother about her appearance anymore and I’ve not seen her exercise for months. I find myself getting increasingly frustrated at home while I’m with her.

I still love her but I find that she’s very different from when we started to date.

Is this what it’s like living together? I haven’t even talked about chores. There are some chores that she refuses to do and she said it’s my place after all, so I’ll have to be the one to do it. I think I’m covering 80% chores while she’s only keen in doing 20%.

She has the habit of leaving washed underwear in the toilet and I would have to be the one to take it out to hang because she would forget and ask me to do it instead. There are many other instances that she would forget to do something and I would be the one finishing the chore. I cannot imagine doing this long-term.

When I try to talk about it she would get upset and binge snack and drink. I’m not even arguing with her. It’s just talking in a calm tone.

Is that time of the month that bad that it becomes close to almost every day? Or she’s not what I think she is? How can I improve the situation?

Here are what netizens think:

  • It’s your place anyway…as she said, then kick her out of your place. I would reconsider whether this is the kind of person to fall in love and be with. Seem the compatibility is very low now. If one has to change from what she said, it should be for better not worse. I’m not you, but I can’t tolerate with this kind of behavior and I don’t think she would be a good mother for my kids at the end.
  • You two are a big mismatch! It’s sad to see she doesn’t love herself much, and not taking care of her fitness. Likely this is true herself, which you can’t change much. Just leave her. Breaking up this toxic relationship is beneficial for both you and her. She’ll find someone who’s as messy as her.
  • LOL after dating for only a year and she’s completely let herself go already. DUMP HER
