I was eating mala with my sister on this rainy evening and just as we we were about to go home I dropped my phone and walked for about 15 minutes before even noticing.

Looked around for it in vain

I panicked, my sister panicked, A LOT. We tried retracing our steps, asking the shopkeepers nearby and calling my phone but nothing seemed to help me get closer to finding my phone.

I thought I genuinely needed to file a police report until we got a call from my number and when we answered, no one was speaking on the other end – all we could hear was the sound of the crowd and the rain.

After a minute or so of saying hello they finally responded and told me where they found it and where they were and luckily it was nearby where my sister and I were.

Couple who found it stayed behind in hopes that the owner of the phone will contact them

We met up with them and they were the most pleasant people! They said they were about to actually head home until they found my phone on the floor so they decided to stay around the area and grab a meal in hopes that I’ll come to find them and thank God I did.

We thanked them numerous times and left… but before going home we decided to buy them chocolate waffles from a nearby bakery and luckily the waffles were done before they left the food court.

First time in a long time I personally lost something in public and I couldn’t be any more grateful that I came across such wonderful people at the end of it all 🙂

Here are what netizens think

• can’t tell if the mala was so good, or so bad, OP didn’t notice he’d dropped his phone. both possible
• very surprised you don’t have some pin or password set on your screen lock.
• This is such a uniquely Singaporean wholesome experience. Wish we had more posts like this!
• Please be more careful next time. So glad that you were saved by kind souls tonight

After working at the same job for five years, I had grown comfortable with my daily routine and was perfectly content with my situation.

Until recently, I had never put much thought into my career and how far it could take me. I had been content to simply remain in my current role, but I had recently realised that I was not reaching my full potential.

I started to question myself and didn’t think that I was doing anything wrong, until I realised that fresh grads were getting a higher position than me and have a better path for progression.

Got persuaded to take a degree so that I can be promoted

I had heard from my colleagues that the only way to get promoted was to have a degree, and after a lot of contemplation, I decided to take the plunge and enroll in a university course.

It was a difficult decision to make as I was no longer young and had to balance my studies with a full-time job.

At first, I found it challenging to juggle my studies and work, but I was determined to make it work. I would often stay up late at night to finish my assignments and would come into work exhausted the next day. After a few months, I began to get used to the new routine and was able to manage my time more effectively.

I was also pleasantly surprised by how much I was enjoying my studies. I was learning so much more than I had anticipated and the course was giving me an entirely new perspective on the world.

I was even beginning to make new friends with fellow students who shared my enthusiasm for learning.

Completed my degree and got the promotion I wanted

After about a year, I was able to complete my degree and was feeling more confident about my prospects. I was sure that I had a better chance at getting promoted now that I had a degree, and sure enough, my hard work paid off.

I was ecstatic when I was offered the promotion, and I could not believe that all the hard work had paid off. I felt a huge sense of accomplishment and was proud of myself for persisting even when I felt like throwing in the towel.

Having a degree has opened up a new world of opportunities for me. I feel more confident in my abilities and am sure that I am now in a better position to take on new challenges.

I now understand why having a degree is so important and why it is such an advantage in the workplace.

I am so glad that I made the decision to go back to university, and I encourage anyone else in a similar position to take the plunge.

It is never too late to upgrade your skills and open up new possibilities for yourself.

Whenever I look back on that incident, I can still feel a heavy wave of embarrassment wash over me. It was one of the most uncomfortable moments of my life.

My ex boyfriend was more adventurous and willing to try different things while we were getting intimate and I always believed in the traditional putting it in and moving it in and out.

Told me to wear a stewardess uniform while getting intimate with me

He asked me to wear a flight attendant uniform while we were having relations. I was appalled and insulted by his request. I mean, who does that? I can only imagine how it must have felt for the women who actually worked in such positions and had to deal with creepy passengers!

I also thought to myself on how in the world could he have gotten his hands on the female stewardess uniform.

He used to fly for a certain airline but he was a male and couldn’t have a female uniform with him!

At first, I thought he was joking, but as I saw the serious expression on his face, I knew he was dead serious. He told me that he missed his flying career and wanted to “relive it in some way”.

He said that he wanted to dream that he was the flight manager and having a “hot flight attendant” to accompany him.

I was completely taken aback. How could he ask me to do something so degrading? I felt like I was being treated as an object or a toy, rather than a person. It was so disrespectful to me, and I felt so embarrassed that I just wanted to curl up into a ball and disappear.

I tried to reason with him, asking if he could just watch a movie or something, but he refused. He said that this was his “only way” of getting the feeling of being a crew back. I was at a loss for words and felt so helpless.

Ultimately, I gave in and put on the uniform. I felt so uncomfortable and exposed, and I was so ashamed of myself. It was a horrible experience and I wanted it to be over as soon as possible.

Ended the relationship thereafter

After that night, I ended the relationship. I realized that he didn’t respect me and that he was only interested in fulfilling his own selfish desires. It was a hard lesson to learn, but it taught me an important lesson about relationships and understanding boundaries.

I now know that I should never have to compromise my own dignity or self-respect for anyone else. We all have the right to be respected and to feel comfortable in our own skin.

No one should ever be made to feel like an object or a toy.

My mind was filled with thoughts of my ex-girlfriend. It had been months since our break-up, but the pain and longing were still there.

That’s when I saw a girl who looked like her when I went to a pub one day. She was dressed in a skimpy outfit, her long hair flowing down her back. I couldn’t believe my eyes.

It was like she was an exact replica of my ex-girlfriend.

Started to have butterflies in my stomach

I felt a familiar tug in my heart, and before I knew it, I was pulling up beside her. We talked for a while, and I felt like I was in a trance. I couldn’t believe it was just like the same girl I’d loved and lost.

The next thing I knew, we were in my car. I drove us to a nearby hotel, and we spent the night together. I had never felt so alive and fulfilled.

The next morning, I woke up with a newfound hope in my heart. I thought maybe I could make this work and that maybe I’d found my true love.

But what I didn’t know was that the girl I’d fallen for was actually a ‘chicken’.

She demanded payment when I woke up.

I had been duped, and I felt betrayed and angry. I had allowed myself to be taken advantage of, and I felt foolish.

Vowed to move on and thankfully I did

That experience completely changed my outlook on life. I had allowed myself to be taken advantage of, and I vowed never to let that happen again. I had been blind and stupid, and I learned my lesson the hard way.

My heartache was worse than ever before, but I knew I had to move on. I had to find a way to be happy and to trust again, even if it was with someone completely different from the girl who had looked like my ex-girlfriend.

I eventually did find someone I could trust, but I was never able to forget that night. It changed me forever, and it taught me a valuable lesson. I learned to be more cautious and to never let my guard down.

I thank God that I didn’t make a bigger mistake, and I know now that love isn’t always what it seems.

I will never forget the day I saw my girlfriend without any clothes on. I was 21 at that time and it was the first time I saw a girl completely without any clothes on in reality.

We had been together for a few months, but this was the first time I had seen her without clothes.

She was beautiful and I could not take my eyes off of her. I was in awe of her perfect body and curves.

My traditional mum was not okay with it

My traditional mum was not happy when she found out. I had thought that she might be okay with it, but she was not.

For context, my mum is older than me by about 42 years and I was sort of an accident.

She immediately told me that I needed to marry my girlfriend or else she would not approve of the relationship. She said that it was against our values and traditions and she since I had seen her without any clothes on, I had to take the ‘responsibility’ as a man.

She was also afraid that if this gets out, tongues will wag.

I was torn between my love for my girlfriend and my respect for my mum’s wishes. I did not want to disappoint her, but I also did not want to put an end to my relationship.

I tried to explain my thoughts to my mum, but she was not convinced and insisted that I marry my girlfriend if I wanted her approval.

Decided to please my mum

After much deliberation, I decided to marry my girlfriend. Though I was not sure if it was the right decision, I knew that it was the only way to make my mum happy and preserve our relationship.

I was not sure if my girlfriend was ready for marriage, but when I asked her, she said yes without hesitation.

We got married soon afterwards and my mum was happy.

She was satisfied that I had done the right thing and that I had chosen to follow our traditional values.

Though I was a little nervous, I was also happy that I had taken the decision that I had.

That is the story of how I ended up marrying my wife.
