COUPLE MET ANOTHER GIRL INSIDE CLUB, BF TELLS GF HE HAD “TIME OF HIS LIFE” WITH THE GIRL

0

[22 F & 28M] my boyfriend said he had the time of his life hanging out with another girl

My boyfriend and I went out clubbing last weekend with some of our friends.

There was this one girl sitting at a table so we asked if we could sit with her and she said yes and we started talking to her.

I had a friend come later so I went and met up with her (in the same club) and we hung out inside for a bit before we left her table.

I don’t remember what I said or how this happened but my boyfriend said that he had the time of his life hanging out with this girl that he had only just met.

I guess that made me feel a bit weird. She was pretty cool but I guess it just feels weird that my boyfriend said that about another girl when he’s not said that about hanging out with me.

Netizens’ comments

  1. Yeah, that is weird. Did the exchange contact info?
    • (OP) Yes, they added each other on messenger.
      • Well then, you have new competition.
  2. Assuming you don’t want to just break up you should tell him how it has made you feel and press him about their contact. Ask him to show you his account where she was added (ask him to do it without delay cause otherwise he might delete things). Ask him also where he was so long without notifying you.
    He might refuse your attempts to confirm situation, call you controlling and what not. That is fine, he can refuse what he wants, but at this point I would just leave him.
  3. The best time of his life? What the hell did these couple of barflies talk about that was so amazing?
    Important question – does your boyfriend leave the house much? Does he have a healthy group of friends he sees often? Or is he a homebody?
    I’ve see this kind of reaction before and I’m willing to bet it was quite one-sided. Guys who aren’t used to getting any attention whatsoever get an hour of conversation with a random woman who may or may not even be that attractive and the novelty of the experience just blows their mind and they think they’re in love.
    One time I went to a friends party and met her new boyfriend. He was not my type at all and I just spent like half an hour getting to know him because he was dating my friend and I’d figure I’d be seeing more of him in the future.
    We had a nice chat. I talked to many other people at the party too and didn’t give him any special attention, I thought.
    Turns out I made such an impression on him that he broke up with my friend and told her that he wanted to be with me – he didn’t even bother to learn that I was in a long-term serious relationship before he did that.
    That’s my one personal story, I’ve seen and heard this happen to a lot of girls who are casually polite to a stranger. This is massive loser behavior to be honest. Not attractive at all.
    I understand why you’re feeling weird and jealous about it, but honestly you should also feel sorry for him that this was apparently “the best time of his life.”
    Frankly I think if you’re confident in yourself, you should encourage him to try to be friends with her. If he sees something good about her that is legitimate, then she’d probably be a cool friend to you, too.
    After getting to know her better he’ll lose his rose-colored glasses/beer goggles and realize she’s probably just a normal person and maybe he can be cool about it. If she was flirting with your boyfriend and that what this whole thing is about, and she wants to steal him, let her have him.
    She’d be doing you a favor getting him out of your hair.

HUSBAND WANTS TO DIVORCE WIFE, CALLS HER “LAZY” FOR NOT COOKING FOR HIM

0

My husband (m25) wants to divorce me (f24) because I’m “lazy”

My husband (m25) and I (f24) have been together for 8 years, married for 3 years. He has been distant for 5 months now. Barely speaking to me or when I speak to him he’s always on his phone ignoring what I’m saying.

Very little communication, he’s been sleeping in the guest room and we haven’t had any intimate activity since then.

Recently we had the talk… He says he hates that I don’t work much, I don’t “pull my weight” around the house and I don’t cook for him. He pays everything except for wifi and the phone bill which I pay for.

I work Monday-Friday 7am-2pm and my husband works 3pm-11pm. I come home to our 7 year old son hungry because all he was fed was cereal at 9am. After making him a quick lunch and settle in I usually clean up the kitchen that is always a mess from the morning.

Once I’m done I either go on a walk with my son or at the park. I then start dinner. After dinner we hang out watch movies/play then it’s time for showers and bedtime. When he’s all settled in I clean up the kitchen, spot clean around the house and throw away the trash.

Apparently, I have to meal prep my husband’s food because he doesn’t eat unless I make him food. I need to deep clean the whole house every day.

I don’t know what he does during the day but every time I see him when he’s not working he’s playing video games. It’s not fair that he gets to do everything he wants but I get yelled at for no reason.

I get so stressed and overwhelmed. When I tell him how much work it is I always get told “it’s your job”. We’ve always had issues. My main issue is that he’s not romantic or lovey with me anymore. I haven’t had one gift from him since the 2nd year. No anniversary, birthday or Valentine’s Day gift.

He wants me to change but I can’t. I’m trying my best and this is all I can push myself to do. It just hurts because I still love him so much and I feel like he hates me.

GUY’S ENCIK FROM HIS BMT, TAUGHT HIM HOW TO SIAM CHILD SUPPORT PAYMENTS

0

Lessons from my encik. What did he teach you?

My encik in BMT taught me how to siam child support payments. My encik in unit told me when the small head think, the big head cannot think one.

But most importantly my unit encik taught me that just because you are in a higher office, doesn’t mean you can screw your friends from your previous office. You may need them one day.

And sure enough, he was posted back to the unit he came from after his tour in my unit

Netizens’ comments

  1. So how to siam? Share can?
    • (OP) Take ur earnings in cash and keep your head down. Any work you do just say you doing for fun and as a passion and not drawing salary especially in arts scene
  2. You don’t have to be super upz, just don’t be a burden
  3. I had a really good encik. He was the strictest guy I’ve ever met and had high standards for the people below him. He would push us to achieve great things like IPPT gold and stuff and demanded perfect work. But outside of camp he was always nice and always treated me food and stuff like that during team dinners and like hosting CNY at his house. He was really chill and honestly he’s one of the few guys I truly respect even after I ORD’ed
  4. My encik taught me this one sentence which is actually pretty damn good. In life, when you do something, do it once and it do it good. Best encik ever tbh really nice guy, very lucky to have him
  5. If you cannot, you must can.
  6. under-promise, over-deliver
  7. My unit encik taught me that promotions at work don’t automatically translate to a better life. He didn’t want promotions from CSM yet because he felt he had achieved a certain work-life balance that he could support with his income. A promotion means taking on extra work and seeing his family less often.

GUY SLEPT WITH GIRL HE MET ON TINDER, FOUND OUT SHE POOPED ON HIS BED & LEFT

0

I had been hooking up with this girl for about a month, and last night she came over. Everything was as usual, we hooked up, but when we got up I noticed a brown stain on my white top sheet.

I don’t know if she saw it or not but at first I thought it was dried blood so I took it off and threw it in the closet fast so she wouldn’t be embarrassed. She left shortly after and I looked at the sheets, it’s definitely poo.

Am I wrong to ghost?? Or should I say something? I don’t think it was like a residual poop from not cleaning herself properly, I would have noticed before…

Edit: it might not be poop, it doesn’t smell. Maybe it is just discharge, excuse my ignorance

Netizens’ comments

  1. I had this happen once. The gal I was seeing pooped in bed just the tiniest bit, but it really smelled. We both knew what had happened, but it was a new relationship so our communication wasn’t very well established.
    I pretended not to notice and washed the sheets after she left. Continued to sleep with her, never brought it up. I’m sure she was super embarrassed, but it would have done no good to add to it by telling her I noticed.
    And if I’d ghosted her or broken up over it, I would have missed out on the months of enjoyable dating I had with her after that.
    It’s your call, OP. But shart happens!
  2. if it didn’t smell then she probably just started her period and it was brown blood/spotting from first day bleeding
  3. Probably not poop. Brown discharge can happen for a number of reasons (imminent period or period is ending, birth control pills, etc.)
    Sometimes it looks a bit like poop but has a very different smell/texture. It’s just old blood that has turned brown from oxidation and is being expelled from the body. It’s normal and involuntary.
  4. Are you sure not old blood? If it was poop I feel like it would have smelled a lot more potent… once I was done with my period for over 24 hours (that’s my rule lol) and I hooked up with an ex..
    he went to the bathroom and omg I saw it on his bed.. I took soap and water and rubbed it like crazy I was so embarrassed hahahah but it totally looked like dark poo at first.
    It was definitely old blood I put it up to my face like wtf was that me? There was nothing on him or my legs or anywhere else. Assuming it was just like a drop?? Who knows. But unless it smelled, it wasn’t poop

MAN FOUND A WHOLE RAT INSIDE HIS BREAD PACKET ORDERED FROM DELIVERY PLATFORM

0

A man in India, Nitin Arora, had ordered a loaf of bread from Blinkit, which is apparently a delivery platform in India, and found a rat trapped inside the bread packaging.

Arora shared his horrifying experience with the delivery on his Twitter page on 3 February, calling it “unpleasant” and “alarming”.

He said that he ordered a loaf of bread from the delivery service on 1 February for a loaf of bread (the company reportedly promises to deliver essential goods within minutes).

His delivery soon arrived but he found a rat squashed inside at the side of the packet.

He said that he would rather have his deliveries take longer to arrive than for it to arrive with extra unwanted “luggage” inside.

Arora then contacted the company’s helpdesk and showed them a photo of the unsavoury delivery that he received, saying “look what you guys delivered today, a live rat inside the bread packet.”

Seemingly following a customer service script, the customer service attendant replied “yes, I can see your concern is genuine.”

“I deeply apologise to you for this issue. We have noted this and will escalate it from our end. Your feedback for this specific incident has been noted and we will surely take corrective measures to improve the same.”

Head of customer support responds

The head of Blinkit’s customer support, Dhanajay Shashidharan, responded to the tweet and said (SIC):

“Hi, I head Customer Support here at Blinkit. I want to assure you, we’ve taken swift action already and de-listed the partner store, even as we are investigating the matter with the store owner.”

“We have high standards for hygiene at all our stores, and with this incident, we have increased the frequency of audits at the store networks.”

The viral tweet (SIC)

Most unpleasant experience with @letsblinkit , where alive rat was delivered inside the bread packet ordered on 1.2.23. This is alarming for all of us. If 10 minutes delivery has such baggage,

@blinkitcares I would rather wait for a few hours than take such items

MAN REFUSED TO PAY $40 FOR GRAB AFTER CLUBBING, CYCLES HOME FROM CLARKE QUAY TO SENGKANG

0

TikTok user Tan Jun Hao (@oahnuj) shared how he didn’t want to pay the exorbitant price of $40 for a Grab ride home after clubbing at Clark Quay.

He then used a shared bicycle and cycled all the way from Clarke Quay to his home in Sengkang, which is about 17km away.

He captioned his video “cycling home after clubbing because I refuse to pay $40 for a grab”, as he documented his arduous journey home on the bicycle.

He was seen at the beginning of the video getting on a green rental bicycle and cycling a few rounds for the camera, before taking off and getting on the roads.

The journey was long and he cycled past dark roads, highways and some construction sites, before taking a break along the way to rehydrate himself with a bottle of water.

He finally made it home after about one and a half hours later, and he clocked about 16.68km in total distance cycled, according to the bicycle rental app.

He also managed to burn 400 calories along the way, and his journey home only cost him $3 as compared to the $40 he would’ve paid had he taken a Grab ride.

6% OF GOOGLE S’PORE’S WORKFORCE LAID OFF, ABOUT 189 EMPLOYEES RETRENCHED

0

The Google Singapore’s office reportedly saw 189 employees being retrenched, or about 6% of their workforce, according to Mothership.

About 20 of the retrenched staff members were purportedly software engineers.

This comes in the wake of Google’s parent company, Alphabet Inc, previously announcing that they would be cutting more than 12,000 jobs across the globe, according to Reuters.

The company previously revealed back in August last year that they had about 3,000 employees in their Singapore office.

Following the retrenchment, the morale of the remaining staff members at the Singapore office has been negatively impacted.

Google also responded to media enquiries, saying that they are not able to share the number of employees that have been affected by the retrenchment in Singapore.

Google CEO’s statement on 20 January

Googlers,

I have some difficult news to share. We’ve decided to reduce our workforce by approximately 12,000 roles. We’ve already sent a separate email to employees in the US who are affected. In other countries, this process will take longer due to local laws and practices.

This will mean saying goodbye to some incredibly talented people we worked hard to hire and have loved working with. I’m deeply sorry for that. The fact that these changes will impact the lives of Googlers weighs heavily on me, and I take full responsibility for the decisions that led us here.

Over the past two years we’ve seen periods of dramatic growth. To match and fuel that growth, we hired for a different economic reality than the one we face today.

I am confident about the huge opportunity in front of us thanks to the strength of our mission, the value of our products and services, and our early investments in AI. To fully capture it, we’ll need to make tough choices. So, we’ve undertaken a rigorous review across product areas and functions to ensure that our people and roles are aligned with our highest priorities as a company. The roles we’re eliminating reflect the outcome of that review. They cut across Alphabet, product areas, functions, levels and regions.

To the Googlers who are leaving us: Thank you for working so hard to help people and businesses everywhere. Your contributions have been invaluable and we are grateful for them.

While this transition won’t be easy, we’re going to support employees as they look for their next opportunity.

In the US:

  • We’ll pay employees during the full notification period (minimum 60 days).
  • We’ll also offer a severance package starting at 16 weeks salary plus two weeks for every additional year at Google, and accelerate at least 16 weeks of GSU vesting.
  • We’ll pay 2022 bonuses and remaining vacation time.
  • We’ll be offering 6 months of healthcare, job placement services, and immigration support for those affected.
  • Outside the US, we’ll support employees in line with local practices.

As an almost 25-year-old company, we’re bound to go through difficult economic cycles. These are important moments to sharpen our focus, reengineer our cost base, and direct our talent and capital to our highest priorities.

Being constrained in some areas allows us to bet big on others. Pivoting the company to be AI-first years ago led to groundbreaking advances across our businesses and the whole industry.

Thanks to those early investments, Google’s products are better than ever. And we’re getting ready to share some entirely new experiences for users, developers and businesses, too. We have a substantial opportunity in front of us with AI across our products and are prepared to approach it boldly and responsibly.

All this work is a continuation of the “healthy disregard for the impossible” that’s been core to our culture from the beginning. When I look around Google today, I see that same spirit and energy driving our efforts. That’s why I remain optimistic about our ability to deliver on our mission, even on our toughest days. Today is certainly one of them.

I’m sure you have many questions about how we’ll move forward. We’ll be organizing a town hall on Monday. Check your calendar for details. Until then, please take good care of yourselves as you absorb this difficult news. As part of that, if you are just starting your work day, please feel free to work from home today.

28 Y.O MAN’S DEATH IN S’PORE “LIKELY RELATED” TO COVID VACCINE, MOH GIVING FAMILY $225K

0

A 28-year-old Bangladeshi man died in Singapore 21 days after receiving his Covid vaccination back in July 2021.

His death has since been ruled by the state coroner to be likely related to the vaccination, and the Singapore Ministry of health will be providing the deceased’s family with financial assistance of $225,000 under the Vaccine Injury Financial Assistance Programme.

MOH’s press release on state coroner’s findings

STATE CORONER’S FINDING ON DEATH RELATED TO COVID-19 VACCINATION

17TH FEB 2023

The State Coroner has ruled on 15 February 2023 that the death of a 28-year-old Bangladeshi male, who passed away 21 days after COVID-19 vaccination, was a medical misadventure. The cause of death was certified as myocarditis. The State Coroner also found that on the balance of probabilities, it was likely to be related to COVID-19 vaccination.

  1. Under the Vaccine Injury Financial Assistance Programme provided by the Ministry of Health (MOH), a one-time financial assistance of $225,000 will be extended to his family. MOH is working with the Ministry of Manpower to extend assistance to his family and facilitate their application.
  2. He received his first dose of Moderna/Spikevax COVID-19 vaccine on 18 June 2021, and passed away on 9 July 2021 after collapsing at his workplace earlier that day.
  3. To date, more than 17 million doses of COVID-19 vaccine have been administered in Singapore through the National Vaccination Programme, and this is the first death related to COVID-19 vaccination locally.
  4. According to the latest vaccine safety update by the Health Sciences Authority (HSA), the incidence of myocarditis remains rare with reporting rates of 0.1 per 100,000 doses (or 0.0001%) for the bivalent vaccines; and 1.1 per 100,000 doses (or 0.0011%) for the primary vaccination series of the monovalent vaccines.
  5. As a precautionary measure, since September 2021, vaccinated persons are advised to avoid strenuous physical activity or exercise for two weeks after vaccination to mitigate the potential risk of myocarditis. Persons with chest discomfort, abnormal heartbeats or any other symptoms that arise after vaccination, should seek medical attention promptly. This will enable early diagnosis and appropriate medical management of any rare severe adverse events that may occur after vaccination.
  6. MOH, the Expert Committee on COVID-19 Vaccination and HSA will continue to monitor vaccine-related serious adverse events closely.

0

A Singapore driver was seen in a video circulating online, filling up plastic containers with petrol at a petrol station in Johor Bahru, and he then kept them in the boot of his car.

The netizen who took the video and posted it, said in mandarin (translated): “This behaviour, is it considered stealing or smuggling? I just want to ask, if I want to report it, I’m just doing my duty as a good citizen. Aiya, I forgot to ask him if he wants to be famous.”

The netizen posted a video of the incident, showing the driver stowing away plastic containers of petrol into his car boot.

The man was seen at the beginning of the video, appearing to have finished pumping petrol into a huge jerry can, before going to the back of his car holding a filled container in each hand.

he then wrapped plastic bags around the filled containers of petrol, before stuffing them into his car.

Need to be declared

According to the Singapore Customs website, “there is no duty-free concession and GST relief on motor fuel including motor spirits, diesel products and compressed natural gas (CNG) in containers.

Travellers who bring them into Singapore will have to declare the goods at the customs checkpoint.

Netizens’ comments

  1. Haiyah !!! Why so kaypoh ?!?! Last time I go camping/fishing at very remote beach. Use small generator for lights, charge HP, and for other eqpt. So need to tapao petrol. Normal maaa….
  2. Very normal, some car owners even can’t afford to pay for the parking and just park anywhere they want

MAN WAS TOLD HIS $6.8K CREDIT CARD BILL COVERED BY GIRO, “NO ACTION NEEDED”, THEN GETS LAWYER LETTER

0

I signed up for a Citibank Credit Card last year. I spent $6800 on 4 November last year. Around that time, I called their hotline to enquire how to make payment. I was advised by them that no action was needed as I was on GIRO and there was more than enough funds too.

On 7 January 2023, a lady from the credit department called to ask me the settle the payment and I told her to call me back as I’m very busy serving a customer. I’m a florist and was very busy during those festive seasons.

On 19 January, the same lady called again and I requested to speak to a manager as I wanted to settle this amicably and for all the wrong informations given that caused the unnecessary delay but was told that they do not have any manager nor refused to put me through to a senior person. No one bother to call me back since then.

I kept receiving private number calls. By early February, I was harassed by more than 249 private calls that I have to block them. Up to 20-30 calls a day. Citibank are now saying that those calls may not be from them.

Even if these calls are not from them, my spending was on 4 November and payment should be due in December 2022.

Merely around a month on 26 January 2023, I was threatened with a lawyer letter from them demanding immediate payment by the next day and an extra of $671.95 for late and interest charges and this exclude legal cost. I felt very threatened and insulted!

This is worst than loan shark and dept collectors.

A manager wilfully called me on 14 February 23, Valentine’s Day, knowing well it’s a busiest day on earth for a florist, wanting to update me on this.

CITIBANK, you gave me the wrong information and now you threatened me!

This is highly unprofessional and unacceptable. This is how a big bank works?
