The Singapore Women’s National Football Team’s Defeat to DPRK at the 19th Asian Games

The Singapore women’s national football team recently faced a formidable challenge at the 19th Asian Games when they went head to head with the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK), also known as North Korea. This highly anticipated match, which unfolded on September 24, 2023, at the Wenzhou Sports Center Stadium in Hangzhou, left football enthusiasts and supporters of the Lionesses stunned. The final scoreline of this encounter was a resounding 7-0 victory in favor of DPRK, marking a significant event in the tournament.

A Dominant Display by DPRK

First Half

The game commenced with an early breakthrough by DPRK, as Hong Songok netted a goal just about 10 minutes into the match. The Lionesses’ defense was put to the test again when Ri Kumhyang swiftly followed up with another goal, doubling DPRK’s lead.

Second Half

The second half of the game saw DPRK continuing to assert their dominance. Myong Yujong scored a goal for DPRK within the first five minutes of the half. Shortly after, Ju Hyosim added to the tally with the fourth goal for the North Korean team. Ri Hak further extended their lead with a goal in the 58th minute. In the 61st minute, Kim Kyongyong sealed the fate of the match by heading in DPRK’s sixth goal. The victory was ultimately cemented when Sung Hyangsim scored in stoppage time, leaving Singapore with a challenging 0-7 defeat.

Key Players Missing

While the Lionesses had assembled a squad of 22 players for the Asian Games, some key players were notably absent from the lineup. Danelle Tan, a teenage prodigy, was absent from the squad as she was in Germany, focusing on her club career with Borussia Dortmund. Putri Nur Syaliza, the first local female footballer to be offered an overseas athletic scholarship, was also not part of the squad as she was overseas for her exams at Oakland University in the U.S.

Furthermore, key attacker Nur Izzati Rosni, renowned for scoring Singapore’s winning goal against Laos at the 31st SEA Games, chose to rule herself out of selection. According to reports from The Straits Times, Izzati made this decision to prioritize her mental well-being. Besides Izzati, former captain Ernie Sontaril was dropped from the squad, and forward Lila Tan withdrew to pursue her studies overseas, along with other commitments.

Facing DPRK Twice

Singapore was initially slated to play against both DPRK and Cambodia in Group C of the Asian Games. However, following Cambodia’s withdrawal from the Games, Singapore faced the daunting task of playing against DPRK twice. The overall winner would be determined either by points or by a superior goal difference. The Lionesses were set to face DPRK once more on September 27, 2023, in what promised to be another challenging encounter.

GIRL COMPLAINS THAT ALOT OF MARRIED MEN ARE LOOKING FOR FREE S ON TINDER

Tinder losers

Tinder is full of married men looking for free seggs. Most of them not even good looking or have a nice body. Disgusting.

Like, hello u think I spend so much money and effort to look like this; and u can just come to my place anytime u want to xxxx & go home to your wife and kids?

You must be dreaming right.

Paid escorts charge around $1k for an hour. And that’s not even the high end. Some of the high end ones charge 3-5k for 1 hour.

You expect to come and S me a few times a week at my house FOC? Who’s paying for the mortgage/ rent & utilities? Electricity and water all no need $?

Bloody delusional. You may be hard up for pvssy but we are not hard up for dxxx. And certainly not average dxxx that’s attached to a married man with nothing to offer.

Men, please wake up and look at yourself in the mirror. If u don’t look like a Korean oppa or even a D list celebrity; then don’t expect freebies.

Here are what netizens think:

  • Sorry to inform you. Your ELO ranking is low. ELO is a hidden metric that computes your numerical ranking based on the right swipes vs left swipes you get, and Tinder’s algorithm pairs you with those of similar ELO rank. If your deck of Tinder swipe cards or matches look increasingly sour, that’s your ELO at work.
  • I think you are using Tinder for all the wrong reasons. If you want to someone to help with your utility bill, get a job.
  • You’re right. You should charge $ too. To cover your mortgage, utilities, and personal maintenance. Why you on tinder when you know it’s full of these people?
  • if u so marketable and highly sought after, why on tinder?
  • Okay then get off tinder then. That’s not the only way to meet someone.

WOMAN’S 6 Y.O SON ASKED IF SHE WAS A PROSTITUTE AFTER WATCHING TV

0

A woman’s 6-year-old son asked whether she was a prostitute after learning about the word on TV.

Here is the story

Long story short, my husband, my 6yo son and I were watching TV yesterday evening and suddenly during the dialogue exchange, the word ‘prostitute’ came up, with subtitles. And our son turned to us and asked what is a prostitute. I looked at my husband, expecting him to handle the situation.

Hubby:- it’s a setup to make a man and a woman happy.

Son:- what do you mean…

Hubby:- (looking over to me, visibly uncomfortable). Well, it means when a woman does a favour to a man to make the man happy for money.

Son:- Do mommy does prostitute? (Neither of us were expecting that and I burst out laughing upon hearing this and having no help from me my husband tried to handle the situation desperately)

Hubby:- No no… Not married woman.

Son:- So mommy did prostitute before marrying you?

Hubby:- Noooo…mommy never did prostitution.

Son:- (Now seemed offended and looked me and asked out loud) why didn’t you prostitute?

Before I could say anything my hubby said “mommy won’t do prostitution” and our son still wasn’t convinced and said “yes she prostitute. Mommy got money in purse”.

Seeing this was going out of spiral I asked him if he’d like some icecream and he nodded and I got off the couch and went to the kitchen and the topic was dropped.

However seems like it has become a joke between my husband and I. I whispered in his ear this morning when we were in the bed “so you married a prostitute huh?” And he laughed and was like “don’t start that again”.

WOMAN REFUSED TO GIVE MUM MONEY BECAUSE OF HER SMOKING ADDICTION

0

A netizen shared how she is “shocked” to find out that a man in his 30s who is working is still getting an allowance of about $1k from his parents, and she related it to her own situation.

Here is the story

Do you give your parents allowance, or help out with household expenses if you don’t? Or do you leech off your parents and live free or receive an allowance from them? (assuming your parents are not rich)

Recently, I am shocked to hear someone who is 30+ and working is still receiving allowance of $1000 or more from their parents. In another case, my friend told me that her elder sister, who is also 30+ and married with 3 kids does not give her parents any allowance but still goes home to get free toilet paper, condiments, food and stuff. She would sometimes also make her parents pay for her food and gas when she brings them out for meals and exploits her parents to help her with stuff like buying food and delivering to her house. There are also people who are in their 30s and are unemployed just leeching off at home.

I have a sibling like that too. My mother works a tough job and does not earn a lot. Ever since my first job right after secondary school, I gave my mom allowance unless I am tight on cash or is switching between jobs.

My elder sister (9 years older) who earns almost double of me and is still single with no commitments did not give a single cent because she claims that she does not want to “fund” my mother’s smoking addiction (ok fine). I also contributed for household groceries most of the time but my sister would just eat free or claim groceries expenses from my mom. Usually, after work, I would call to check with mom if she needs me to tabao dinner for her, knowing I would do this, sister would ask me to tabao her share conveniently (most of the time I ignored her request because she doesn’t pay me back and I was earning less than 1.5k at that time).

During a period, I had part time night classes on certain days and would come home late so I couldn’t get dinner for mom. Knowing this, my sister would go out on these days and avoid mom calls and messages to buy food for her. She also frequently forgot her wallet or wait for us to pay when we go out to eat together as a family.

I don’t know why some people are so calculative over small things (like a $2.50 dinner, or a drink) and cannot part with their money.

I think it is not wrong and it is fine if you have commitments or conditions and did not give your parents allowance (some parents prefer to be independent) or help out with household expenses, but receiving money and exploiting them does not sound right to me. They don’t seem to feel embarrassed, guilty or remorse for exploiting their parents or other family members.

Do you have friends or family members like this too?

WOMAN TRIES TO SHAME SINGLE FATHER STRUGGLING WITH CHILD

0

My son’s (6 months) been cranky all morning because he’s teething. I had to go grocery shopping and since it was just me taking care of him he came with me. Normally he’s calm when I have him in his baby carrier because right now he just wants to be held by me but I forgot that at my mom’s yesterday so went in with his stroller to the market.

The plan was to be in and out in under 5 mins because he really wasn’t having it today. This lady kept popping up at every aisle I was in.

Well it’s a small market too so not like she was intentionally following us. He wouldn’t stop crying then she’d say “he’s hungry why didn’t you bring his bottle” and I would tell her no he’s not hungry he just ate 15 mins ago. Then it was “uh oh sure hope your daddy remembered to change your diaper this morning” (diaper wasn’t dirty).

At some point I picked him up for a little bit, he calmed down when I rocked him then lost it again when we got to the check out line because I needed to put him back in his stroller so I could put everything on the counter and pay. It was already a stressful day for me, I’m overwhelmed trying to hurry up putting everything in a bag while my son’s crying.

This lady is at the checkout line next to mine and she says “maybe next time he should stay at home with mommy don’t you think?” Normally I’m not a confrontational person but this one really got to me. “Well his mom passed away so why don’t you just mind your damm business already and go”

She looked at me a little shocked and then there were other people there too so she was red. The lady didn’t say anything to me at all but then at the parking lot she apologized about his mom but she didn’t think I needed to be rude and throw that at her face because she didn’t know what happened.

I really didn’t wanna get into it anymore I just told her to get the hell out of my way and leave me alone. Got in my car and left. Im home now calmer and wondering if she had a point. Because like I said normally I’m not like that with people but since it was already a hard day and stuff it infuriated me so bad. Was it an overreaction though?

I get sometimes people think they’re helping when in reality know nothing when it comes to calming a baby and usually brush that off

WOMAN SCOLDS 90 Y.O NEIGHBOUR FOR NOT HAVING STRENGTH TO DRY HER CLOTHES

0

A netizen shared how her neighbour is a horrible person who lashes out at the elderly, children and etc.

Here is the story

My neighbor is a complete *expletive withheld*.

She scolded some 90+ yo elderly lady because she didn’t have the strength to squeeze her clothes completely dry. She shouted at a boy because his dog barked at her. She told a middle age aunty (who did not provoke her) that she is very ugly.

She even pushed ntuc trolley back and disposed them at the void deck near midnight. The list goes on.

Despite her being such a horrible person, her husband still loves her very much. Sticking to her the whole day. Watching her all disgusting acts.

I don’t understand why would anyone be attracted to such a person because she is rude, mean and to a certain extent lack moral values.

I would think that she must’ve been very beautiful when she was younger but I wonder how long can you love someone just because they are pretty?

I guess when you love someone you can’t see their flaws…

Netizens’ comments

  • Maybe he cheated on her? She found out and chose to lash out at her surroundings instead of lashing out at him? You are only seeing the surface, what makes you think he have no part to play in her behavior? Maybe he do or maybe he don’t. You don’t know their history or relationship la.
  • Maybe she donated a kidney to him or something. Or she brings home the dough. Or maybe she’s born with it. Or maybe it’s Maybelline.Or maybe it’s none of your business.

GIRL THINK SHE HOT STUFF CHIO BU WANT TO WEAR FAKE RING TO DETER MEN

0

What is the general opinion of wearing fake wedding rings to deter men?

I’m 24F, single. No desire to date at the moment. I work in a male-dominated industry and receive plenty of unwanted attention from my colleagues and outside the workplace. It’s tiring for me to keep having to reject multiple advances and explaining to men I’m not available even if I’m single.

My friends say I’m pretty so I try to dress down and conservatively but that is not helping. A friend suggested I wear a fake wedding ring instead but I’m wondering if there any social consequences of that?

Here are what netizens think:

  • Better to wear. No issue. Then deflect conversations when they ask about your “husband”. It’s a good skill to learn.
  • I think the wedding band will attract more men. It’s kinda like reversed psychology. Some men like a challenge. Forbidden fruits taste better to them. Just talk less, ignore and behave like an introvert. You’ll eventually get the hang of it in terms of fending them off.
  • There’s a page showing the various messages when the ring is placed at which finger. Better to read before embarking on your next step…
  • Illusional. Age will deter men. Just don’t apply make up will look like a s
  • Can la no problem, You can wear until 50s years old or 60s 70s also can

MAN’S FIANCEE GAVE HIM 2 DAYS BEFORE WEDDING & KICKED HIM OUT

0

My wife left me two days before our wedding and kicked me out.

So my wife and I have been together for 9 years,and engaged just one of those years and our wedding is was to be held two days from now on Saturday.

but I woke up this morning to her irate and yelling,I asked her what’s wrong and she just told me to get out. I told her I’m not leaving until I know what’s wrong.

She told me she’s pregnant and that it’s not mine.

She told me to pack up and leave as the house is hers (Everything is in her name.)

So as I’m sitting here with a suitcase full of clothes and nowhere to go, crying and wondering who knocked up my now ex-fiance, I have nowhere to go and I’m broken.

Here are what netizens think:

  • Dude, this whole situation is messed up, and I am sorry to hear you are in it, but in the long run, you’ve dodged a pretty major bullet.
    Take a deep breath, find a hotel or short-term rental that you can get into tonight, and go have as relaxing a night as possible.
    The next few days are going to be chaos. If you don’t have anything else at the house that’s yours, or that you want, then write the whole thing off and move on as best you can.
    It happens, but at least you aren’t going to be shackled to a cheating wife, and financially responsible for a child who is not yours.
  • Go to the wedding guests “you were going to have” tell them what’s happening I’m sure a few of those will help you for a little while

NS MAN SHARES STORY OF HAUNTED CANTEEN DURING HIS NSF DAYS

0

A guy shared with us a story of an eerie encounter which he encountered while doing the dreaded guard duty on a weekend night during the time when he was still serving the nation as an NSF in the SAF.

He did not specify which camp was it in his story but he says that this story is quite popular and generations of Singapore men who have been before him might have had the same encounter before.

Here is the story

“Okay so I served my NSF days back in the early 2010s and this was something which I had encountered while I was doing guard duty at this particular camp.

I am a regular at doing guard duties because my CSM likes to give out extras freely for the stupidest reasons and I was always targeted due to my habit of talking back to all these dumb enciks who will not have a future outside of the Army.

I always like to be a prowler when I do guard duty, as I do not like to stay near the guard house where everyone can watch what I do.

For those that do not know what a prowler is, it is basically the guy who walks around the camp on a certain route to keep watch on the surroundings in case of any unwanted intruders or happenings around the camp.

One day, I was prowling the usual route that I always prowl and I came across this canteen which was said to be haunted.

The thing about this canteen that come a certain time of the evening, the cookhouse personnel on duty will always on a recording of a Buddhist chanting sutra before leaving the place.

We have always wondered why but was only told that this place was not exactly ‘clean’ and if the recording of the sutra is not switched on every evening, you will hear something else when you walk into the canteen.

We are not able to avoid the canteen as well as it is one of the checkpoints that we as prowlers are supposed to cover.

Out of curiosity of what could be heard in place of the recording of the sutra, my buddy and I decided to go and switch it off while we were on duty that particular night.

What we heard after that was the eeriest thing I have ever heard in our lives.

The moment we switched the recording off, we could hear a the voice of a lady silently weeping and it sent chills down our spines.

As we hurriedly tried to leave as we were afraid, the sound of the weeping got louder and louder until it turned into a hysterical laughter of evil.

We shook in fear and started praying and apologising and switched the sutra recording back on in a hurry and surprisingly, after the recording continued playing, the laughter and all the weeping sound went away.

After that incident, I tried my very best to be on my best behaviour in camp as I did not want to do guard duty ever again and even when I was on assigned duty, I tried to stay away from being the prowler.”
