I had heard stories of people who had gone to Bangkok to pray to the Buddha for good luck, and I wanted to try it for myself.

I had recently come into a large sum of money from investments in the stock market, and I wanted to ensure that I could keep it.

Last week, I decided to take a trip to Bangkok to pray to the Buddha for good fortune.

I arrived in the city early in the morning and made my way to the temple. I was excited to be there and was filled with a sense of anticipation. I knelt in front of the Buddha and said a silent prayer asking him to bless me with good luck.

I placed my hands together and bowed my head in reverence. After a few moments, I felt a sense of peace and calm wash over me. I knew that whatever I asked of the Buddha, he would hear my request.

The next day I decided to take a walk around the city.

As I did, I noticed that the streets were bustling with people. I felt a sense of community and belonging as I walked around and took in the sights and sounds. I felt that this was the perfect place to receive the blessing from the Buddha.

At the end of the day, I returned to my hotel room and relaxed. I was feeling very lucky and grateful for all that I had. I had faith that the Buddha would answer my prayers.

The following morning, I woke up feeling refreshed and energized. I decided to take a look at my investments and see how they had done. To my surprise, my stocks had gone up significantly in just one day. I was ecstatic!

I knew then that my prayers had been answered. I was so thankful to the Buddha for blessing me with luck and financial success. I am now looking forward to the future and all the opportunities that will come my way.

My trip to Bangkok to pray to the Buddha was a great experience.

I am happy that I had the courage to ask for his blessing, and I am thankful for the good fortune that he granted me. I will never forget my time in Bangkok and the kindness of its people. I will continue to invest in the stock market and use the Buddha’s blessing to my advantage.

Are guys in sg just more willing to simp?

i do streaming full time and get most of the money from sub and more sponsors nowadays but mostly guys who think they might have a chance with me.

A lot are desperate, still try when you are already unavailable

ive opened up about dating someone for a while now and there will still be guys that are delusional enough to simp LOL..

Like yeah i want to have a community where i can just chill but guess i need money somewhere i guess.

i can like just dm someone that i rarely respond to with a random excuse like “test my subscription alerts” and years later they would forget about it and continue subbing until their bank runs dry.

Most of them feel the need to show their ‘big bird’ energy, even when they no money

Most of them arent even financially stable enough to afford to sub because they are still probably studying and they would still do it to “prove” that they are capable or something.

They can just say no, like ive even told some of them im not interested when we literally have nothing in common and they will still be willing to do anything.

Yeah i feel guilty sometimes, i came from a much more well off family + feel bad for my bf especially when he isnt from singapore.

Couple of months ago, I told a girl on tinder that I drive a bmw when she asked (gold digger sensor activated)

Nonetheless I still met up with her n. I parked my car and walked towards the spot. When she arrived and while we chatted, she asked where’s my car.

I jokingly told her oh bmw means “bus, mrt, walk lol” ( yeah I know, it’s an old dry ass joke I picked up somewhere). Thought I’d be funny to break the ice but bruh she got mad saying I “cheated her feelings” etc and just got up and left. I was left there like…

Anyways left the place and went back to my m340i and just I as was exiting out of the carpark, lo and behold there she was standing by the roadside waiting for grab or whatever.

Wound my windows down, drove slowly towards her, gave her the middle finger and revved the B58 in her face before speeding off.

You always see such stuff on youtube but never imagine it would actually happen to you and actually meet people this shallow and materialistic. But rubbing it into their face at the end makes the whole experience worthwhile lol.

Here are what netizens think:

• In another episode of “S*it That Never Happened, But You Wish It Did”……

• Not far fetched to say I could believe this. In America they tried this same stunt with a hidden cam on blonde gold diggers. It was hilarious tbh.

• I take a Mercedes usually when I was asked what I drove then when she asked me where is my Mercedes I said it was the brand of the bus I took daily to school. Now I legit drive a Mercedes but no one ask anymore

• not all heroes wear capes, some drive bmw

I used to have a friend called Edward (not his real name). He was a really interesting person. He was very knowledgeable in some esoteric fields such as astrology, numerology, and fengshui.

He used to claim that he was a fengshui master, and that he could help people to improve their lives by applying the principles of fengshui.

Knowledgeable about the topic, but life is a mess as well

At first, I was impressed by his knowledge. He did seem to know a lot about fengshui and the various principles that were associated with it. He was always talking about the various ways to improve one’s life by aligning the environment with the principles of fengshui.

He even claimed that he had helped many people to improve their lives by applying the principles of fengshui.

However, as time passed, I began to realize that he wasn’t actually applying the principles of fengshui in his own life. He was always complaining about his lack of money, his lack of success, and his inability to find true love. He was always looking for a quick fix or a shortcut to success, but he never seemed to find it.

Even though he claimed to be a fengshui master, he couldn’t even get his own life to work properly. He was always in a state of chaos and disorganization.

He couldn’t seem to focus on one thing and make it work. He was always jumping from one project to the next without properly completing any of them.

It was at this point that I began to realize that he wasn’t really a fengshui master. He was just a person who had read a few books on the subject and was trying to apply the principles to his own life.

He was trying to take a shortcut to success, but it wasn’t working. He was trying to improve his life, but he was going about it the wrong way.

Decided to minimise interactions with him for fear I screw my life up as well

After a while, I stopped hanging out with him as much. I didn’t want to be associated with someone who was just trying to take shortcuts to success and wasn’t actually applying the principles of fengshui in his own life.

I wanted to be associated with people who were actually taking the time to apply the principles and get the most out of their lives.

In the end, Edward was a great person and he had a lot of knowledge about fengshui. He just wasn’t applying it in his own life. He was looking for a quick fix or a shortcut to success, but he was missing the mark.

If he had taken the time to properly study and apply the principles of fengshui, he could have had much more success in his life.

I was in a tight spot. I was in desperate need of some money and had no other option but to resort to the unthinkable.

As hard as I tried, I couldn’t seem to find a way out of my financial struggles and was quickly running out of time.

Took girlfriend’s diamond ring to the pawnshop

That’s when I had the thought to take my girlfriend’s diamond ring to pawn away so that I could gamble at the casino.

It was a silly idea, and I knew it. I was aware of the consequences of my actions, and I was risking a lot. I was risking my relationship, my reputation, and my well-being, but I was desperate and felt like I had no other choice.

So, I made the decision to take the ring and pawn it off.

When I got to the pawn shop, the boss offered me a fraction of what the ring was really worth. I knew I should have walked away, but I was running out of time and needed money fast.

I took the offer and was given just enough to change about two thousand at the casino.

I put down my chips and started playing. I was winning at first, but then I started losing.

I kept betting more and more and soon I was out of money. I was in a panic and didn’t know what to do.

I still thought that if I made back a sum I could go back to the pawnshop to get the diamond ring back for my girlfriend and pretended that nothing happened.

Went home and told gf what happened

I went home feeling defeated and ashamed. My girlfriend was devastated when I told her what had happened, and I knew I had made a huge mistake.

I had risked so much for nothing, and I was left feeling embarrassed and heartbroken.

My relationship with my girlfriend was never the same after that. We eventually broke up and I was left with nothing but regret. I had taken something that was precious to her, and I knew I would never get it back.

I had gambled away my future, and I had no one to blame but myself.

I was so excited when I got offered a job with a pay raise of $500 per month. I had been working my current job for a while and I was really happy when I got offered a job with a pay raise.

I thought it was going to be the perfect opportunity to get ahead in life and make some money.

New company closed down in a month

So, I quit my job and started working at the new company. Everything was going great at first. I was making more money and I was really happy with the new job.

However, after a month of working there, things started to go downhill. The company was having financial issues and they weren’t able to pay their employees on time.

They kept promising that they would be able to pay us soon, but it never happened.

Eventually, the company had to close down, and I was left jobless and with no money. I had quit my old job for a pay raise of $500 per month, and now I was left with nothing. I was devastated and I had no idea what to do.

Had to restart from the bottom again

I had to start from scratch and look for another job. It was a long and hard process and I had to start from the bottom again. I was unable to make the same salary as I had before and I had to settle for a lower-paying job.

This experience taught me a valuable lesson. I should never quit a job without doing my research and making sure that the new job is reliable and secure.

I had been so desperate for a pay raise that I had made a mistake and it had cost me dearly.

I will never make the same mistake again, and I will always make sure that the company I’m working for is reliable and secure before I make any decisions.

The balance

I have been together with my SO for almost 2 years now. We’ve been trying to balance our time and effort between our partner and friends.

BUT I found out that my SO had lied to me about going out with a friend of opp gender 1on1. Despite communicating that I am uncomfortable with that, SO decided to lie about it and did it anyways. (LOL)

I don’t want to come off as too controlling but lying and crossing boundaries are on a separate level. This is definitely working against our “balance”. How do I communicate this?

What happens when one party is not respecting the boundaries of the other?

Here are what netizens think:

• respecting the boundaries ah, you doing the same what.

• Your last question is odd. What happens when one party is not respecting the boundaries of the other? You mean you don’t know? You were lied to. He chose to put his own interests above yours. I get you’re confused because you’re emotionally invested. Think logically. This is something you can’t compromise (for a valid reason, you want to protect your relationship). His actions are his answer to you. Move on.

• It’s entirely your choice. You just needed affirmation from others to do or not to do. Most of us would advise you to leave the man-child. But would you? It’s happened to me before. So I’m just sharing from experience. Trust is hard to come by. It’s up to you if you want to give him time to change or decide that it’s not worth your time to hope and invest in a man who betrayed your trust. Goodluck OP

• You alr made your point that you’re uncomfortable with his/her actions, he/she still disrespected you and went ahead with it and even lied despite you being unhappy. Dump this girl/guy, if you tolerate he/she will just start to climb all over your head since he/she knows that you’ll give him/her another chance no matter what.

I don’t know about you, but when I’m having an intimate time with my boyfriend, I like to make sure I’m feeling my best.

This means taking the time to eat something that will make me feel energized and ready for some fun. My favourite go-to meal for this is mala hot pot.

Mala hot pot is my favourite, it is made with a combination of chili peppers, Sichuan peppercorns, and spices like garlic and ginger. It is my perfect meal to give me a boost of energy.

Last night, my boyfriend and I were planning to have a romantic evening and I decided to make mala hot pot for us. I cooked it in a traditional pot on low heat, stirring often and adding the ingredients in the right order. I was careful to make sure the spices weren’t too hot and that the vegetables were cooked just right.

When it was done cooking, I poured the fragrant broth into two shallow bowls and served it with some freshly cooked white rice. We both enjoyed the meal and I noticed my boyfriend’s eyes widen with delight when he tasted the spiciness of the broth.

After the meal, I knew it was time for some intimate time with my boyfriend. I had never tried going down on him before and I was a bit nervous. But I knew the mala hot pot had given me a boost of energy and confidence, so I decided to go for it.

As I went down on him, I could feel the spiciness of the mala hot pot on my tongue. Suddenly, my boyfriend scream and he said his ‘banana’ is on fire!

I quickly pulled away, surprised and shocked by what had just happened.

My boyfriend ran to the toilet and wash it, telling me that it was the spicy mala hot pot that had caused the reaction. He said that he had never felt anything like it before.

I was a bit guilty to know that I had done something so wrong and that it had been the spicy mala hot pot that had caused the reaction.

We were both stupid and we did not have any more mala for months.

It started a few months ago when I left my job, I was on Tinder trying to find someone to hook up with and also kill some time. I saw this very attractive older woman and decided to swipe right because you know, it’s every 20-something year olds dream to hook up with a ‘mother’.

A few days go by and I get a notification that I have a new match. Wahoo! I open up the app and lo and behold it’s the ‘mother’ I was hoping for.

Started to chat and flirt and one thing led to another

We start chatting and flirting, it’s going really well. Out of nowhere she messages me and says “I’m not sure how this app works, do we just meet to have relations or do we go on a date first?”

I was drinking coffee at the time and promptly shot it out both nostrils. My chance had come. I replied back that people generally just meet up to go to have relations together but I’m easy either way.

She replies “well good because I hate formalities” I nearly let go in my pants in excitement. She sends me her address and tells me she’s free on Friday and to bring wine.

The rest of that whole week was a complete blur of anxiety. I could not screw this up.

Did it like rabbits

So Friday comes, I show up with wine, she looks moking hot. Better in person. We talk about music and travelling and all that, not many personal details (which would come back to haunt me) just sort of arts & culture talk.

A few glasses of wine later and were full blown going at it like rabbits on the middle of her living room. I left a little while later feeling like I’m the king of the entire universe and go to sleep.

The next day she texts me saying how she had a great time, and it made her feel young again and blah blah blah. She says she’s off every Friday and Saturday and that next week we should do the same.

This has been going on for roughly 3 months, we meet up once or twice a week, do it like animals, and then go on our merry way until one of us wants it again. Sweet deal right? Wrong.

Discovered that her son was my ex colleague

I messaged her yesterday saying that I had no plans and asked if she wanted to meet up, she said her son was taking her out to lunch, and that I could come over at 3pm.

She had mentioned she had a son before but didn’t go any further and I didn’t really care to ask.

So 3pm comes and I’m almost at her house when she messages me that she’s running late; no problem. I park on the roadside and sort of just wait in my car because her car wasn’t back in her front porch yet.

I’m sitting there listening to the radio when an oddly familiar SUV pulls into the drive. I sorta looked at it funny and then I immediately realized where I knew it from.

My ex colleague(M23) jumps out of the front seat, goes around to her side of the vehicle, gives her a kiss on the cheek and a hug and then jumps back in the car. My jaw was on the ground.

He reversed out of the driveway and stupid me is sitting like a deer in the headlights in plain sight. He turns around and is literally 10 metres in front of my car and staring directly at me.

My face goes bright red and I feel like I’m going to vomit. Me and this guy work together every single day last time and I consider him a friend of mine, I even trained him when he started at my company.

What was worse is I’ve been telling him (in detail) about this older lady and he’s been giving me immense kudos about it saying that it’s “his dream”.

Pretended I was not here for his mum

He pulls up beside me and looks very confused, asks me what I’m doing and how funny it was we ran into each other.

I panic completely and stumble over my words and pretend like I’m on the wrong street and trying to find my cousins house.

He looked skeptical but sort of shrugged it off. The whole time his mother is standing there watching us through the curtains. He directs me where to go and I pull off and then circle back once he’s gone.

Needless to say I went inside and told her what was up, and we both sort of sat there in silence before I left. No boom boom today.

I am now panicking, there’s no way he’s not going to know right?

And he’s gonna realize all these wild escapades with this she devil night mistress I’ve been telling him about is actually his mum?
