Hey K(baobao).. it’s been a year since I matched you on the app one fateful night and met you up within days of chatting for ice cream.

It was not the usual me to do so but I did it. We clicked instantaneously (at least it seemed so) and the few 2-3 months were full of happy daily texts and occasional dates.

Things went downhill subsequently because you had too many partners (took me too long to realise) to manage and whatever I was asking for as a date always seem to be too much of an expectation.

It’s been a year and I’m still very much left heartbroken, but yet I still think of you and miss you every single day.

I wanted you back despite being hurt many times and how you made me feel so worthless at times.

I wonder if you will ever get to read this but I just want to tell you that the silly ygf still wants you badly, and as long as you’re willing to change and be honest, I’ll always be there for you.

Here are what netizens think:

• Well, I do believe ppl will change somehow, but the risk you’re taking is udk when? and whether will it be? So instead of taking the risk, why not just remain single..there’re a lot of guys out there and you’ll never know who will come along and bring u more surprises never settle for less because life is too short, if the other partner can’t offer you some extra happiness than being single but just heart breaking and sadness, then why are u still cling into it? It’s hard to let go, because u haven’t met the right one. Be smart on your next rs

• it’s time to stop crying over men. there’s lines of men waiting for you once you’re done with the toxic child who treats you horrible and gives you the absolute bare minimum. step into your femme fatale era and begin attracting men who worship the ground that you walk on.

• Situationship – Let’s just chill, have sex, and be confused on the fact that we’re not together but have official emotions for each other

• Just because someone keeps u around doesn’t mean they value you. You could be for fun, time wastage, healing or recovery. Know ur place in people’s life

It all started as a simple romantic gesture. I wanted to surprise my girlfriend with something special for her birthday. After some thought, I decided on buying her a bra. I was sure she would love it.

Unfortunately, I was wrong.

Does not like it because it is too ‘ah ma’ style

When I presented her with the bra, she was visibly unimpressed. Her face fell as soon as she saw the design. I had chosen an old-fashioned style which what people would call it as ‘ah ma’ bra, but clearly, it wasn’t her taste.

She thanked me politely but I could tell she wasn’t happy.

I was crushed. I had put so much effort into choosing the right gift, and now it had all gone to waste. I was embarrassed and angry at myself for not being able to pick something she actually liked. I wanted to make her happy, but it seemed like I had failed.

To make matters worse, my girlfriend was too polite to tell me what was wrong. She politely insisted that she liked the bra, but I could tell she was just being kind.

I was starting to feel increasingly frustrated and embarrassed.

Decided to go back to the shop and change it, but no more stock for her size

The next day, I decided to take the bra back and get her something of another design. I was sure that I would be able to find something she would love.

But when I went to the store, I found that the same style of bra was out of stock for her size.

I was devastated. I had failed yet again. I had wasted my time and money, and I felt like a fool. I had thought that this was the perfect gift for my girlfriend and now it had all gone wrong.

I returned home empty-handed and ashamed.

I decided to take a break from my work and make a trip to Johor Bahru, partly because the costs of cigarettes in Singapore is getting too expensive to the point where I considered getting them in Johor Bahru instead.

Before I get accused of trying to bring in contraband, let me first clarify that I would usually buy a pack and smoke finish there before coming back to Singapore.

Jam at the customs

So I took a bus to Johor Bahru, and the journey took around three hours due to the jam at the customs. It was a long ride, but I was excited to finally be able to get away from the city and take a break.

I eventually found my way to a convenience store, where I was able to purchase a pack of cigarettes for a fraction of the price that I would pay in Singapore.

I was so pleased with my purchase, and couldn’t help but feel a bit smug as I walked away with my cigarettes in hand.

After my purchase, I decided to take a walk around the city and explore and also went to get some food and a massage session.

After my walk, I decided to sit down and have a smoke. As I smoked, I couldn’t help but feel relaxed and happy. I was so glad that I had decided to take the trip to Johor Bahru for the cheaper cigarettes and to take a break from my hectic life.

I finished my cigarette and decided to take a walk back to the bus station. As I walked, I couldn’t help but ponder about how much money I had saved.

I was so pleased with my purchase, and I knew that I would be coming back to Johor Bahru to purchase cigarettes again in the near future.

I eventually arrived at the bus station, and the journey back to Singapore was smooth and easy. As I looked out the window and watched the scenery pass by, I couldn’t help but be grateful that I had taken the time to make the trip to Johor Bahru.

Now, whenever I’m feeling like I need a break and a cigarette, I would go to Johor Bahru just to smoke.

The prices are much cheaper and not only are the cigarettes cheaper, everything else is also cheaper

I remember the day I met my first Korean boyfriend like it was yesterday.

I was in a coffee shop in Seoul when he approached me. He was tall, with dark hair and big, bright eyes. I couldn’t believe my luck when I found out he was a fellow student, studying in Korea.

We hit it off immediately, spending hours talking about our lives and our shared love of Korean dramas. I was completely smitten with him, and he seemed to feel the same way. We started dating, and for a while, everything was perfect.

But as time went on, I started to notice that things weren’t as perfect as they seemed.

My boyfriend would get angry with me over the smallest things, and would often lose his temper and shout at me. I tried to brush it off as cultural differences, but as time went on, his behaviour only got worse.

One day, he hit me. I was shocked and devastated, but I didn’t know what to do.

I didn’t want to believe that the man I loved could be capable of such violence, but I knew deep down that I needed to get out of the relationship.

I googled and found out that domestic violence in Korea is extremely common.

I left him that day, and I never looked back. I realized that the romanticized versions of relationships I had seen in Korean dramas were just that – romanticized. They were not real, and I was better off without them.

I moved on with my life, and eventually found a kind and loving partner who treated me with the respect and kindness I deserved.

I learned from my mistakes, and I made sure to never let myself be fooled by the false promises of Korean dramas again.

Hidden dragons

I just moved into my bto in a humble and modest neighbourhood. The neighbours are quite close because some of us in the estate came from the same rental flats and upgraded to our bto tgt.

We have this neighbour, he is extremely quiet, keeps to himself and greets us politely whenever he sees us around.

We try to get close to him, to make friends, however he will always maintain his distance, very respectfully. After a while, we suspect he is rich rich.

Watches, he has many. He has been spotted with a patek, ap and many different rolexes. The watches are mostly in gold. We suspect his watch collection can buy all units on an entire floor. Sometimes, there will be a bentley, lambo or mclaren in the mscp and we are damn sure the owners are there visiting him. $1000 Jimmy choos or Louboutins, he has a few pairs as well. His outfit can be worth more than 2 years of our annual income.

Some of us talked to his wife and she mentioned that they got this bto when they were still students and chose this area coz it’s very cheap, and that her husband is very reserved, doesn’t like to talk to the neighbours. Also found out that his parents stay in a landed in one of the wealthiest areas in sg (not saying to protect his privacy)

Are rich people really that closed off? Or maybe he thinks he is too good to make friends with us?

Other than that, he is quiet, clean and respectful whenever he sees us la. One of the better neighbours actually. Just surprised a rich person will actually choose to stay in our area.
