MAN COLLEAGUE’S KENA $100K FROM 4D, ‘HAO LIAN’ FINISH NO TREAT MAKAN

0

I was getting ready to leave for the day when I heard some cheering and shouting which caused a little commotion in the office.

Colleague kena first prize

My colleague had just looked at the 4D results and was showing off his wining 4D ticket with a huge smile on his face.

He had bought 20 big and 20 small, which came to a total prize amount of $100,000.

I was filled with envy and wished that it was me who had won the money instead. My colleague was so happy and proud of himself that I couldn’t help but be happy for him.

Everyone in the office was congratulating him and commenting on how lucky he was to get the first prize, something which many of us could not even get even after buying 4D for 10-20 years.

Promised to treat us dinner but act blur afterwards

After showing off his winnings, my colleague was so happy that he said that he would take all of us out for dinner on Friday after work.

He said that this luck does not come easily and he wanted to share part of his wealth with us as he believed that spending some of the sudden windfall from 4D away would give him good karma.

However, when Friday came, my colleague decided to leave without treating us all to dinner as promised. I couldn’t believe it.

He had promised us all a celebratory dinner and yet here he was, leaving without so much as a goodbye.

Did not expect him to be so stingy

As I drove home, I couldn’t help but feel bitter. How could someone be so selfish and stingy? He had just won $100,000 and if he did not mention about treating us to dinner then so be it but he had already said so and asked all of us out.

I couldn’t help but wonder if my colleague had spent all of his winnings already. I was surprised when I saw him at his desk, looking like nothing had happened the night before.

One of my other colleague then decided to disturb him, asking him when was the dinner.

He replied that he was busy and had to push the dinner for another day but every time when the date was nearing, he would always come up with some excuse.

It has been about half a year since he gotten the first prize in 4D, and the promised dinner has still not happened.

GIRL USES HER “GOOD LOOKS” TO GET FREE FOOD, SAYS HER “PRETTY PRIVILEGE” IS REAL

0

TikTok user @_erynamira posted a video of herself using her “good looks” to get free food in Malaysia, saying that “pretty privilege is real”.

She was later slammed by netizens because about a week ago, she said that she wouldn’t date people who are poor because “why would I want to have a hard life?”

She was seen in the video out and about in Malaysia, using a couple of pickup lines on a waiter at an Arab restaurant in Bukit Bintang and getting a free kebab as a result.

She was acting coy at a restaurant when she called the waiter over and used her pickup lines on him, asking him if he likes “satay” because she wants to “satay (stay)” with him forever.

She then asked him if he knows what her shirt if made from, saying that it was made from girlfriend material.

The waiter later returned to their tables with a couple of free kebabs for the girls, captioning her loot: “oh happy eh dapat free”.

Netizens’ comments

  1. Pretty privilege is when you don’t even flirt but you still get freebies. Most of the time it could just be you minding your own business and then the shop owner/cashier says “It’s okay, it’s on me.”
  2. Imagine someone gives food to you, and instead of thinking it’s because the person is generous, you immediately think it’s because you’re pretty. Quiet presumptuous, don’t you think?
  3. pretty privilege? more like ability to withstand own’s cringeness privilege.

Previously said she wouldn’t date poor people

MAN SAYS HE SMART LIKE ‘ZHU GE LIANG’, END UP HE’S ONLY A ‘ZHU GE’

0

I have a friend who thinks that he is the smartest man is this world, he often compares himself to ancient historical figures like Zhu Ge Liang, known for his intelligence.

However, he is only a Zhu Ge

However, the truth is that his so called ‘smartness’ was all self proclaimed.

He was not as smart as he claimed he was, as he always gets into trouble whenever he goes out drinking at bars and KTVs.

The reason being? He always think with his ‘kkj’ instead of his brain, just like a real ‘Zhu Ge’.

‘Zhu Ge’ is a mandarin slang for ‘itchy’ in case you guys don’t know.

Desperate to get a girl

In these pubs and KTVs that he frequents, he is always desperate to want to get to know girls and would always approach them inappropriately.

For instance, usually when the first time someone talks to a stranger, they would at the most offer a handshake and introduce themself.

However in the instance of my friend, he would directly put his arms around the female and introduce himself which obviously many of them finds it desperate.

After that, he will keep trying to force the girl to drink even though he was not really welcomed there and he would then try to kiss the girl.

Got into trouble because of this

Due to his ‘zhu ge’ actions, he has often got into trouble with many people.

Security will usually ask him to get out of the establishment and the girl’s boyfriend/friend/husband will usually come and scold him and always want to beat him up.

Despite all these, he still insists that he is very smart because he manage to eat the girl’s ‘tofu’ and still manage to get away.

His definition of eating ‘tofu’ is managing to hug them or at times still a kiss.

I don’t know how he can continue thinking this way and I just hope that one day when he gets into trouble, I won’t be beside him because I do not want to get into any sort of trouble especially if it is self brought upon.

SCDF OFFICERS IN TURKEY RESCUED BOY FROM COLLAPSED BUILDING, 2ND TEAM SENT IN

0

The Singapore Civil Defence Force deployed a 20-man team to assist in the rescue efforts in Turkey following an earthquake that killed almost 5,000 people.

The SCDF said in a statement that they managed to rescue a boy from a collapsed three-storey building, with help from the local and Spanish rescue teams.

SCDF’s statement

[Update 3: Boy Rescued from a Collapsed Building in Dulkadiroğlu]

The advance team of 20 SCDF officers from the Operation Lionheart (OLH) contingent landed in Adana yesterday and headed to Dulkadiroğlu, Kahramanmaraş, Türkiye to begin search and rescue operations.

In the course of the search and rescue operations amidst the cold weather (about 2℃), a boy was found in a collapsed 3-storey building.

SCDF worked together with the local rescue team and a rescue team from Spain to rescue the boy. The Spanish rescue team used their search canine to pinpoint the location of the boy and SCDF used a fibre-optic scope to confirm the visuals of the boy.

All three rescue teams used their cutting and breaking equipment to create an access through the rubble to reach the boy. The boy was rescued from a bedroom in the collapsed building at about 11:45 p.m. yesterday (9 Feb, 4:45 a.m., Singapore time) in a 3-hour rescue operation.

Second team sent it

[Update 2: SCDF Prepares to Deploy Second Team to Türkiye]

An additional 48 SCDF personnel have started preparations for deployment to Türkiye to augment the 20-member advance team. These personnel are expected to leave Singapore within the next 48 hours.

Led by Contingent Commander COL Chew Keng Tok, the entire 68-member contingent will comprise officers from the elite Disaster Assistance and Rescue Team (DART), operations officers, medical doctors, paramedics, search specialists with four canines, hazardous materials assessment officers and support officers.

With the 68 personnel complement, this will give the Operation Lionheart (OLH) contingent greater scope, scale and capacity to carry out more sustained and prolonged Urban Search and Rescue (USAR) operations within affected areas.

This is the 20th OLH overseas deployment since 1990.

FEMALE COLLEAGUE GOT COMPLAINED TO HR FOR WEARING TOO REVEALING TO WORK

0

I recently got into a bit of trouble at work when one of my female colleagues made a complaint about my clothing.

I had worn an outfit that was a bit too revealing for the office, and she was not happy about it. I understand why she felt the need to complain, but I also feel like she was being overly sensitive. After all, I am a man and I have a great figure that I like to show off.

I understand that there are certain boundaries that should be respected in a professional environment, and I am not trying to disrespect anyone.

However, I do think that there should be some room for personal expression, especially when it comes to clothing. I come to work with a professional attitude and full intention to do my job well. My clothing should not be a distraction from that.

At the same time, I do think that I have the right to express myself with the way I dress. I feel like women are allowed to wear more revealing clothing in the office and not be judged or criticized, so why can’t I? I understand that there is a certain standard of dress expected in the workplace, but that should not mean that I cannot express my individuality.

When I was called into the office to discuss my clothing choices, I felt like my female colleague was trying to police my body and dictate what I can and cannot wear. I was frustrated that she had the power to make a complaint and that I had to answer to her. I felt like I was being treated unfairly and that my gender was playing a role in her decision.

I think it is important to recognize that men and women should be able to dress how they want in the workplace. I understand why certain clothing items might be deemed inappropriate, but I do not think that this should be a one-size-fits-all policy. We should all be able to express ourselves in our own individual ways, and that means being able to wear clothes that make us feel comfortable and confident.

UNREASONABLE BOSS DELAY SALARY, TELLS EMPLOYEES TO BE GRATEFUL THEY STILL EMPLOYED

0

I’ve been working at my current job for two years now, and I’m having increasing difficulty with my boss. Last week he sent out an email to all of us informing us that, due to financial difficulty, our salaries were going to be delayed until further notice.

The message was quite shocking, and, to make matters worse, he followed it up by telling us that we should be grateful that we still have jobs during these trying times.

Needless to say, the entire office was in an uproar.

I’ve had difficult bosses in the past, but this one is really taking the cake. He is not only delaying our salaries, but he also expects us to be thankful for it. I don’t think that’s very reasonable.

It’s not like any of us have a choice in the matter. We all need our salaries to make ends meet, and so when they are delayed, it puts us in a very difficult situation. I understand that the company has financial difficulties, but that doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t be treated fairly.

The boss’s attitude is also very disrespectful. He should be more understanding and empathetic towards us. Instead, he is treating us as if we are replaceable, and that’s not right. We are human beings, not robots.

I’ve spoken to some of my colleagues about this, and they all feel the same way. We are all very frustrated and angry at the boss’s unfair treatment. We all understand that financially, the company is struggling, but that doesn’t mean that we should be treated like this.

I’ve been considering speaking to the boss about this issue, but I’m not sure if it would do any good. He seems very set in his ways and isn’t open to any kind of constructive criticism.

I’m not sure what to do in this situation. I don’t want to leave the job, as I’ve been there for two years now and it’s a great place to work. But I also don’t think it’s right for the boss to expect us to be thankful that we still have jobs when he’s not treating us fairly.

It’s a difficult situation and I’m not sure what to do. I just hope that my boss will come to his senses soon and start treating us better. We all deserve to be treated with respect and fairness, regardless of the financial situation of the company.

GF CB HAIR IS SO LONG UNTIL BF COMB FOR HER AS AN INSULT

0

I have a confession to make: I am the type of guy who loves a “White tiger”.

I love the feeling of having my girlfriend’s bare skin against my skin when we make love. But lately, my girlfriend’s bush has been getting out of control. Her pubic hair down there is so long that it’s starting to get in the way of our intimacy.

As a result, I’ve taken it upon myself to do something about it. I started combing her pubic hair midway coitus for her as an insult.

Yes, you read that right. I’m combing my girlfriend’s pubic hair during intercourse as a way of teasing her and showing her that I’m not happy with her pubic hair. It’s not a pleasant experience for either of us, but it’s an effective way of getting her to pay attention to the issue.

The first time I did this, my girlfriend was surprised. She had no idea what I was doing and asked me what I was doing. I simply explained that I was combing her pubic hair during intercourse because it was getting in the way.

She told me that it was an insult and but I told her she should take better care of her pubic hair.

My girlfriend was shocked, but eventually, she understood. She started taking better care of her pubic hair and now it’s not getting in the way of our intimacy.

I know this might sound like a cruel thing to do, but I felt like it was necessary. My girlfriend’s pubic hair was getting in the way of us enjoying our time together, and I wanted to make sure that she knew that I wasn’t happy with it.

Plus, the combing of her pubic hair actually ended up being quite enjoyable for both of us. It gave us an opportunity to be more playful and intimate, and we both ended up really enjoying it.

At the end of the day, I’m glad that I took the time to comb my girlfriend’s pubic hair. It’s a reminder that I care about her and want her to feel comfortable and safe during our intimate moments. Plus, it’s a reminder that I’m not afraid to take the initiative and do something to make our relationship better.

MAN UNSURE HOW TO TELL GF ABOUT HER BODY ODOUR, SMELLS LIKE SOMETHING DIED

0

I have been in a relationship with my girlfriend for a few months now and I love her very much.

However, lately I’ve started to notice something very unpleasant coming from her. It’s a strong, pungent odour that smells like something has died. I’m not sure what it is, but it’s become increasingly difficult to ignore and it’s really starting to cause problems in our relationship.

At first, I thought it might be something coming from outside the house, like a nearby dumpster or from the neighbor’s cat, but it persisted even after those sources were eliminated. I started to get worried and asked around for advice, but no one seemed to have a solution. I knew I had to confront my girlfriend about it, but I was scared of hurting her feelings.

Finally, I decided to take the plunge and talk to her about it. I was very nervous and I didn’t know how to approach the subject. I tried to be as gentle as possible and not make her feel like I was attacking her. I told her that I had noticed a strange odour coming from her and asked if she was aware of it.

My girlfriend was embarrassed and apologetic.

She confessed that she had been having problems with body odour lately and it had been getting worse. She said she had tried switching soaps and showering more often, but nothing seemed to make a difference. She was embarrassed to tell me, but she was glad I had brought it up because it was something she had been struggling with for some time and didn’t know how to address the issue.

I was relieved to know that the odour wasn’t anything more serious and I was glad she felt comfortable enough to open up to me. I assured her that I still loved her and that I wanted to help her find a solution to the problem. We then discussed different solutions such as switching to a natural soap or using an antiperspirant, but she wasn’t sure if these would help.

We eventually decided to go to the doctor and find out what was causing the problem. The doctor diagnosed her with a condition known as hyperhidrosis, which is a condition where a person sweats excessively. The doctor prescribed her some antiperspirant, which helped to reduce the sweating and the smell.

It’s been a few months now and my girlfriend’s body odour has improved significantly. It’s still not perfect, but it’s much better than it was before. I’m glad I was able to help her find a solution to her problem and I’m grateful that she was open and honest with me about it.

INTERVIEWEE SAYS: I AM AN ELITE LOCAL UNI GRAD, NOT CHEAP PRIVATE SCHOOLS

0

I had been looking forward to the interview all day. I was confident that I had the right candidate for the job and was eager to get the ball rolling, but little did I know that my enthusiasm would soon be replaced by shock and confusion.

The interviewee was an impressive candidate on paper. He was a graduate of one of the top local universities and had a strong track record in his field. I had high hopes for the conversation, but it quickly took a turn that I had not expected.

The moment the interviewee stepped into the room, I could tell he was confident. His posture was straight, and he spoke with authority. I introduced myself and asked him to tell me about himself. His response was anything but what I was expecting.

He proudly declared that he was an elite local university graduate and that he should not be compared to graduates from cheap private schools. He said that the quality of education he received from the university was far superior to anything the private schools could offer.

I was taken aback. I interviewed several candidates from private schools and found them to be just as capable and qualified as the candidates from the local university. I was sure he was wrong and I wanted to challenge his statement, but I decided to remain polite and professional.

I asked him questions about his academic background and experience, and he answered them with confidence and authority. He was clearly a knowledgeable and capable person, but I still couldn’t shake the feeling that his attitude was arrogant and condescending.

Throughout the rest of the conversation, I couldn’t help but feel that the interviewee was looking down on me and the rest of the candidates. His attitude was smug and dismissive, and I had to remind myself that this was a job interview, not a debate.

After the interview was finished, I thanked him for his time and he left. I was still taken aback by his attitude, but I was also thankful that I had kept my composure and given him the benefit of the doubt.

In my experience, a confident attitude is a great trait for any job candidate, but arrogance is a red flag. It can be difficult to discern between the two, but interviewees should remember that their attitude and behavior can make or break their chances of getting the job.

He called back a few days later and we told him his attitude does not fit the job role, he can try his attitude at somewhere else.
