I had just stepped onto the train when I heard a commotion coming from the other end of the carriage.

When I turned to look, I saw an elderly lady rushing into the carriage. She wore an expression of desperation, and she was pushing her way past other passengers in order to get to the end of the train.

As she passed by me, I heard some passenger mumbling something about “kiasu auntie” – I realized that this auntie was trying to be the first to get to the end of the carriage, so that she could get the seats!

However, her determination didn’t go unnoticed, and an angry young man suddenly appeared in front of her and started pushing her back.

he young man was too strong and the elderly lady was no match for him. He pushed her so hard that she lost her balance and fell onto the floor.

The young man then stepped away and started walking away, with a satisfied smirk on his face. All the other passengers in the train were stunned into silence but many of them were laughing at the auntie as well.

Here are what netizens think:

• She deserved it, all this kiasu aunties should be punished.

• Alot of elderly always like that, knn no seat will die like that. If want seat can just ask mah.

• The man might not be right to push her, But I’m glad someone actually took action and punish this kind of typical SG aunite, also known as a disgrace.

 I was a fresh grad and had started work for a few months when I made an expensive mistake. I had applied for a credit card, not knowing how to manage it.

I had already accumulated $20,000 in debt.

I was feeling so embarrassed and ashamed for getting myself into this situation.

I was too embarrassed to tell my parents about the situation, but I knew I needed help. So I finally confessed to them about my debt. I was expecting them to be angry with me and lecture me about my recklessness. But instead, they were very supportive and understanding. They told me that they would help me pay off my debt.

I was so thankful for my parents. I knew that I had made a mistake and that I had to learn from it. So I decided to make a plan to pay off the debt and never make the same mistake again.

The first thing I did was to cut back on expenses. I stopped going out with my friends and stopped buying unnecessary things. I also cancelled my credit card and started using cash for all my purchases. This helped me to control my spending and prevented me from getting into more debt.

I also started looking for ways to earn extra money. I took on part-time jobs and started selling things online. This helped me to increase my income and I was able to use this money to pay off my debt.

I also used some of the money I had saved to pay off my debt. This was a difficult decision but it was worth it in the end. By doing this, I was able to get my debt paid off more quicker.

Finally, I worked hard to stay out of debt. I made sure to save money each month and only buy things I really needed. I also started building my credit score by making regular payments on time. Over time, I was able to build a healthy credit score and stay out of debt.

It took a lot of hard work and dedication, but I was finally able to pay off my debt with the help of my parents. I’m glad that I learned from my mistake and was able to make a plan to pay off my debt. I’m thankful for my parents for understanding and helping me pay off my debt.

If there’s anyone else out there in a similar situation, I want to tell them that it’s never too late to make a plan to pay off your debt and get back on track. Don’t be embarrassed or ashamed, just take the right steps to get yourself out of debt.

Laugh at me if you want, but I am grateful that I made a mistake and learned from it. I’m no longer in debt and have learned an important lesson about financial management.

My brother was always weak-minded and had problems dating SG women, so it was no surprise to me when he decided to marry a woman from China.

When he first introduced her to us, I was sceptical. I didn’t like her from the start and neither did my parents. She seemed greedy and selfish, and I could tell she was only interested in my brother for his money. I tried to warn my brother about her, but he just wouldn’t listen.

When we ask him where he met her, he refused to tell us and said from a work friend. But from the way she dress and talk confirm uneducated and dress like macham working on the streets of Geylang.

My brother and his wife quickly moved into an HDB flat and began their married life together. But it wasn’t long before my brother started to see that she was using him for his money. She would constantly ask him to buy her things, and she seemed to be living beyond her means.

My brother would always give in to her demands, but I could tell he was beginning to regret his decision to marry her.

My parents and I kept trying to warn my brother about his wife, but he refused to listen. He was too in love with her to see the truth. But then the pandemic hit and the borders closed. We all thought that this would be the last straw for my brother and his wife, but it was actually the opposite.

My brother’s wife suddenly seemed to become even more demanding and selfish. She started to pressure him to sell their HDB and said that they should move to China. My brother refused to do it, but she kept pushing him until he eventually gave in.

And then, as soon as the borders reopened, she ran off with all of his money.

My brother was devastated. He had no idea where she was, and he was out of a job and out of money. He was forced to move back in with my parents and me, and it was heartbreaking to see him so broken and hurt.

My brother is still trying to move on from what happened. He has taken on a new job and is slowly trying to rebuild his life and his finances. But he still can’t believe what happened to him. He never should have trusted his wife from China, and he regrets not listening to me and my parents.

There are still many questions that remain unanswered about what happened to my brother and his wife, but one thing is for sure: I never liked her from the start, and I never will.

Broke my “little brother”, should I just keep it secret and avoid girls until it’s fixed?

Just as the title says, reverse cowgirl went bad and I fractured my D in November. I can still get hard but not 100% maybe 80%, but that extra 20 makes a big difference for my satisfaction.

Anyways having it surgically repaired April 4th. Doctor said 99.5% chance of surgery fixing it and being good as new.

I’m really embarrassed about the injury though, I used it once during a hook up and it seemed to make things worse, and girls are coming onto me in my social circle and I basically have to make up excuses not to hangout with them.

Anyone have any advice on if I should tell women that there is a mutual attraction with what’s going on or is “I’m going through a tough time” sufficient?

I feel like telling a girl I broke my p—s and won’t be able to have intercourse for 6-8 weeks is pretty unattractive?

Netizens’ comments

1. how can fracture something that has no bone?
   In a p—s, you have two chambers that fill with blood (corpora cavernosa). So if these pressurized chambers are forcefully bent (like when a woman’s full weight lands on an erection) it can rupture the out lining of one of the two cylinders and is called a penile fracture despite no bones!
2. I mean it depends on the type of girl and her sense of “humor”. I could see, “I’m going to be honest here, I went a little too aggressive and had an accident where my D went a little too far a direction it shouldn’t have.”
3. Lmao if I was a girl I would think this is hilarious and ask well what about your fingers and mouth do they work?
4. Now I’m concerned. I love that position but don’t want my man with a fractured D.
5. Reverse cowgirl is risky business when mixed with enthusiasm.
6. Health comes first. Don’t ruin the anatomy forever because you can’t handle embarrassing questions. If you want to be good for the next 50 years, give the poor little fella its rest.

How to cancel gym membership?

was a total newbie and just wanted to get more fit and wanted to try going to the gym so I was actually just looking around at the different gyms.

Went down for a consultation session w TF after work, thought it’ll just be a casual talking session but somehow the consultant managed to hard sell me this package.

It was just dumb looking back.. She recommended a 1-year student plan when I’m a total newbie, who wasn’t sure of the commitments, and told me it was the cheapest package ($110+/month).

I mentioned that I wanted to go back to consider but she said that the package was for the first time customers only and, since I’ve made a consultation session with her, I won’t be considered a new customer and won’t be eligible for the package if I came back to sign next time.

I was forced to make a decision at that moment and agreed to the package. The consultant also told me that there was no way for me to cancel the package before 6 months (which doesn’t even make sense at all) but I guess I wasn’t in the right state of mind and didn’t question this part…

She also used an ipad during contract signing and skipped through these terms. It was till later that I found out that TF has a 1-month package at only $90+/month (She could have recommended this to me instead but she did not mention it at all)

Yes, I was being so careless but at the same time, I felt like I was misled into signing the contract, the consultant was not being transparent and simply wanted me to sign the package.

I stopped going and stopped payment for a few months now but a friend with a similar case said that they’ll submit customers personal information to Credit Bureau SG if payment is not made. What should I do?

Sitting on MRT floor

I’m sorry I feel really upset and can’t stop feeling upset. I’m (29F) heading home on my last official work day before my maternal leave starts and there are seats but I’m slow because of back/hip/pelvic/knee pains.

So obviously, I lose out in speed and frustrated, i just slump at the spot meant for pmds in the MRT….

I did keep a lookout every stop for pmds and I know the train was crowded to the point I would have had difficulty just getting up so i decided to just stay put and sit there…

So in comes this young girl looks like poly-uni age and she taps me rudely on my leg and said “please get up you are blocking the way!!!”

I replied, “ I’m pregnant and theres no seats available and my back really hurt.” At this point I felt really embarassed and vulnerable. Maybe it was my hormones or something but i couldnt stop crying after that… which just added to further embarassment.

I feel bad asking for a seat cos everyone is saying that people all have hidden medical problems too and i’m also quite shy.

I did feel like quite an a-hole because i was taking up quite a bit of space.. im quite tall so sitting cross legged did take up another persons standing space.

I don’t know, what Should I have done?

Netizens’ comments

1. Next time just ask for a seat. No need to be shy
2. Let me get this straight. It’s the day before your maternity leave starts so you must look quite pregnant at this point. And nobody offered you a seat? I’d be super embarrassed if I was one of those sitting.
3. Unless you’re literally in the door’s way, don’t need to care. If really need space, and not urgent, exit current train, wait for next one.
4. Yes pls just voice out to anyone sitting on the far right/left seats if you have your own medical problems that you are pregnant I’m sure they will give up the seat to you. In fact most of the time those sitting on the those unique colored seats are just occupying the seats for the sake of it, but I’m sure most will give up if you ask
5. Tbh this kind of thing need to be thick skinned. You’re pregnant and unwell, it is well within your right to ask for seats as it is the prerogative of those sitting to refuse.
   Don’t blame yourself for what you did and did not do, imo you did nothing wrong. Please do not dwell over this incident too much.
   Next time it helps to be brazen. Usually idgaf and am willing to ask people for their seats, and I’m rather soft spoken. Explain your situation; most ppl confirm give you one.

My boyfriend always comes in like 1-2 minutes and we haven‘t found a solution.

I love him very much.

I love sleeping and getting naughty with him. However, he only lasts 1 minute, sometimes on a good day 2 minutes. And we rarely do it for a second time and if we do he also comes in like 3 minutes.

I don‘t know why we don‘t do it more but my assumption is that after that he‘s too ashamed and so it‘s harder to get into that mood again.

I know he‘s ashamed of it and he has jokingly said that he is.

We have tried genital rings but they don‘t make a difference lol. I don‘t know what else to do. I‘d love to have fun a little bit longer in bed with him…

• Viagra can help. I know he may be embarrassed especially if he’s young. But it can help delay finishing.
  My ex uses to only last 1-5 minutes with no second round and told me that was normal and that it should be enough for me. When we divorced several years later with a dead bedroom among other issues, he started taking viagra for his new gf and brags that now he lasts 30-60 minutes. Great for her but he never even considered it when we were married.
• Premature husband here. We’ve cycled through a lot of stuff. Try numbing creams, and the exercises you see written up online. In some cases (mine) I think being quick is just hard wired and there isn’t much you can do.
  One alternative that has helped is a penis sleeve. But some guys are embarrassed about it.
• Go a second time? Sometimes the first time is quick. Focus on you next and try again. And then do a third time after that.
• This is a health issue. He should call his/a doctor asap and have the conversation over the phone. They will prescribe him the appropriate medication so he wont waste the next 10 years of his life with low confidence.
• If he feels like he’s getting close, he needs to stop & reset, then get back to it and repeat until a set amount of time has elapsed or you feel close to climax and can finish together.

I promised my mother that she would move in with me in the future

TLDR: My mother believes that she will be living with me and my wife in the future, but my wife is not too keen on the idea.

Hi everyone,

Some background, I [29M] am a first-generation immigrant and have been here since primary school, served NS. My 51 year old mother (healthy, on Work Permit) is a divorcee, with my younger brother living with my dad in Indonesia. We (or herself sometimes) would return around twice a year to visit her family and my brother. We have a comfortable apartment there. My wife and I are currently staying with her parents, waiting for our BTO, and my mum is living in a rented place nearby.

My mom and I have lived in rental rooms in SG for more than 20 years, under the scrutiny of our landlords. I have told her in the past that when I have a house, there will always be a space for her. I understand what it feels like to never feel like we had a home here. She also believes it’s a given that she will be living with me and my wife.

I want my mother to feel at home here, so my stance has always been that there’s no way my mother would not move in with us. I can tell that my wife, though not actively objecting, is not very keen on it. While she gets along fine with my mother (though not super close), she believes that it still is essential for us to have space and privacy.

I know that many Singaporeans couples move out by themselves, with their parents staying in their own HDBs, but that is not the case for my mother. If she doesn’t move in with us, she will either go back to our home country, and we’ll visit each other from time to time, or with my income, my wife suggests that we can also rent, or eventually purchase a comfortable place nearby for her in the future.

I love both of them a lot and would love to hear your opinions about this situation. Thank you in advance for your input.

Any singles frustrated we cannot get an apartment until 35?

I know the government prioritize married couples because of birth rate etc because if I am the government I will do the same. But restricting singles from getting 2-3 room flats till 35, feels like they don’t give two hoots about us.

And yes the option of buying a condo is there, I have no money for that. Other singles who have toxic parents are renting or putting up with them.

Realistically, can anyone with an economics background explain what will happen if they lower the age of getting an apartment? So I can understand their thought process better.

Netizens’ comments

• Unfortunately, I don’t think we can do much about it. Unless a policy change.
  The revision in starting salaries prompted the increase in CPF contribution ($6000>$8000) thingy. But the income ceiling for singles to entitle for a BTO and grants is still $7000.
  If a fresh uni grad earns $5k already at age 25, then he must not earn more than $6-7k including bonuses each month when he hits 35. (That’s a ten year gap)
  If he’s good and can get a promotion or higher salary job, he couldn’t qualify for BTO cos by then his salary would more likely exceed $7k. But money still not enough for resale/condo at the pace of rising property prices. (Esp now even a 3-room can price up to $400ishk)
  Frustrating for the single and neither poor nor rich enough.
• Priority is definitely heavily for families, especially with the plummeting birth rate.
  I don’t have an economics background, but if they lower the age of getting an apartment, even more people will flood into the BTO application process, which is already insanely crowded at this point because HDB has been dropping the ball on supply for the better part of a decade (presumably to ensure that housing prices keep going up, since that’s important to a lot of Singaporeans who already own a home). They want to drop the application count so that people who really need the place can get it and ideally have children.
• If the age requirement is lowered, demand for HDB Resale flats will surge and you’ll see even higher prices than today. HDB 3-room resale flat at $500,000 will likely be the norm, and only singles earning $6k to $7k per month will be able to afford these flats.

Herein lies the difficulty. Many singles wish that:

1. Maintain or lower resale prices so that it remains within their reach.
2. Able to buy resale flat at an earlier age.

2 and 3 cannot exist in the same universe.

Note: I’m aware that increasing supply will help to exert downward influence on prices. However, at the current rate of BTOs built and land allocated for public housing, it is unlikely to be able to meet the demand generated from the lower age requirement.
