MAN TOOK $200 FROM GF TO BUY “SCHOOL MATERIAL” BUT USE IT TO GO ‘FISH TANKS’

0

My story starts with a seemingly simple request.

My girlfriend, who Iโ€™ll call Mary, I asked her if I could borrow $200 of her money to purchase โ€œschool materialsโ€. I had just started uni and didnโ€™t have enough money to cover my tuition or books.

I thought that this was a reasonable request so I accepted the money without thinking twice.

Little did I know, this decision would ruin my relationship and possibly cost me my future. You see, I had no intention of using the money for school materials. Instead, I decided to use it for something much more destructive – paying for โ€œfish tanksโ€ at Geylang

At the time, I was young and had just started uni. I was living at home with my parents and had a part-time job. But I was still poor and desperate for a way to make ends meet. I thought that taking the money from Mary was a good idea, as she seemed to have an endless supply of it.

Unfortunately, Mary soon realized what I had done with her money. She confronted me and I had no choice but to admit what I had done. Mary was understandably hurt and angry.

She ended our relationship and threatened to report me to the police.

I was scared and embarrassed by what I had done. I had put my future in jeopardy by taking money from my girlfriend and using it for something as illegal as visiting prostitutes. I was ashamed of my behavior and was afraid of the consequences I would face if I were caught.

In the weeks that followed, I was filled with guilt and regret. I felt like I had let myself down and had let Mary down as well. I was also afraid of what might happen if I was caught.

As time went on, I started to realize the true consequences of my actions. Not only had I ruined my relationship with Mary, but I had also risked my future. I had put myself in a very dangerous situation and could have been arrested for soliciting prostitution.

I had taken a huge risk and it had cost me the trust of my girlfriend and possibly my future.

Looking back, I realize how foolish I was for taking the money from Mary. I should have known that it was wrong and that I was putting myself in a dangerous situation.

GIRL SAY WANTS A LV BAG FOR BIRTHDAY, BF SAID HE WILL BURN ONE FOR HER ANCESTORS

0

As a young girl growing up, I was taught to always be thankful for the things I had.

My parents instilled in me the value of hard work, and to never take things for granted. I told my boyfriend I wanted a LV bag as I have never experience any luxury before.

So when my boyfriend recently told me he would be burning a Louis Vuitton bag for my birthday, I was taken aback.

At first, I thought he was kidding. But then he went on to explain that he was serious. He said that he wanted to give me something special and he had thought about it for a long time. He said he wanted to burn a Louis Vuitton bag as a gift for my ancestors. He said that it would be a sign of respect and appreciation for all of their hard work and sacrifice.

I was in shock. I had never heard of anyone doing such a thing before. It seemed like a bizarre idea, and I was not sure how to react. After a few moments of contemplation, I told him that I appreciated the thought, but I would much prefer a real Louis Vuitton bag for my birthday.

I did not know what he meant until I told my friend about it, she said my boyfriend was being sarcastic and obviously he will not buy any LV bag for me.

But it turns out it was his way of surprising me.

So, on my birthday, he surprised me with a beautiful Louis Vuitton bag. I was so excited, and I thanked him for his thoughtfulness. Then, he took me to a nearby park and we had a small ceremony.

I was overwhelmed with emotion. I was also thankful for my boyfriend and the thoughtful gift he had given me.

Since then, I have been so grateful. I have come to realize that it is not always the material things that matter, but it is the thought behind them that really counts.

MAN SELLS HIS POKEMON COLLECTION TO PAY FOR GF’S ‘NEI NEI POK’ SURGERY

0

I’m a proud Pokรฉfan, having collected cards and figurines since I was a kid. Iโ€™d been investing in my collection for years and had managed to save up a rather impressive assortment of rare cards and figurines.

It was a huge part of my life and I was very proud of the collection I had built up over the years.

My life changed when I met my girlfriend a few years ago.

We fell madly in love and soon decided to move in together. She was a beautiful, smart woman and I wanted to give her the world. However, she was always a little insecure about her body and had always wanted to get a breast augmentation.

I decided to surprise her and pay for the surgery. I knew I could never afford it, so I decided to sell my Pokรฉmon collection. I had worked so hard to build it up and it was a difficult decision to make, but I knew it was the only way I could afford to get her the surgery she had always wanted.

I started by selling the cards online. I was amazed at how quickly they sold and how much money I was able to make. I also sold the figurines on eBay and managed to make even more money than I had expected. After a few weeks of hard work, I had managed to make enough money to pay for the surgery.

My girlfriend was elated when I told her the news. She couldnโ€™t believe that I had sold my Pokรฉmon collection to pay for her surgery. She was so grateful and told me that she would never forget what I had done for her.

A few weeks later, after the surgery was done, we celebrated her new look. She looked amazing and I was so proud of her. She thanked me again for everything I had done and told me how much she loved me.

I literally celebrated the fruits of my labour with a good squeeze.

I was so happy that I had been able to make her dream come true. It had been a difficult decision to sell my Pokรฉmon collection, but it was worth it in the end. I may not have my prized collection anymore, but I have the satisfaction of knowing that I gave my girlfriend something she had always wanted.

I may not have my beloved Pokรฉmon collection anymore, but I wouldnโ€™t trade the look on my girlfriendโ€™s face for anything in the world.

MAN SAYS HE MISSED POLY TIMES WHEN HE & HIS EX-GF ‘HAVE FUN’ AT HDB STAIRCASE

0

I was recently reminiscing about poly days with my ex-girlfriend. We had so much fun back in the day and we had so many memories together.

One of our fondest memories was when we used to hang out at the HDB staircase.

We would sit there for hours, talking and laughing, and we would also play a game which we called โ€œheavy patting.โ€ Basically, we would take turns touching each other, It was a silly game, but we enjoyed it a lot.

It was always so much fun to hang out at the HDB staircase. We would always bring snacks and drinks to share and we would also bring our own music to play. We would just sit there and chill, talking and laughing, and it was one of the best ways to spend our time together.

Unfortunately, we are not together anymore and the days of heavy patting at the HDB staircase are gone. I miss those days so much and I often find myself longing for them. It was such a great time in my life and I have so many fond memories of it.

I think that one of the reasons why I miss it so much is because of the freedom and joy that I felt when I was there. We were free to do whatever we wanted and we could just let ourselves be who we were. It was a time when we could just be ourselves and enjoy each otherโ€™s company without any judgement or expectations.

The other reason why I miss it so much is because it was a time when I felt truly happy and content. There was nothing else in the world that mattered; all I had to focus on was being with her and having fun. I felt so much joy in those moments and I wish I could go back to that time again.

I guess I will just have to be content with the memories and try to move on with my life. But I will never forget the days when I and my ex-girlfriend would have fun heavy patting at the HDB staircase. Those were some of the best days of my life and I will always cherish them.

I made contact with one of the agents of Lionsโ€™ Travel (AS1 – name is unknown) to get a flight back to Manila on November 24 to December 21, 2022 through Carousell. I paid them in ๐—™๐—จ๐—Ÿ๐—Ÿ for ๐—ฆ๐—š๐——$๐Ÿญ๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿฏ๐Ÿฌ for ๐Ÿฏ ๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐˜‚๐—ป๐—ฑ ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ฐ๐—ธ๐—ฒ๐˜๐˜€ with the assumption that our transaction has been settled.

We managed to fly back to Manila on November 24. However, on our way back to Singapore on December 21 at the Manila Airport Terminal, we were stopped upon checking in at Scoot Airlines. Apparently, there were issues with our transaction and I was asked to pay them ๐—ฃ๐—›๐—ฃ ๐Ÿฑ๐Ÿฎ,๐Ÿฏ๐Ÿณ๐Ÿณ.๐Ÿฒ๐Ÿฐ (๐—ฆ๐—š๐——$๐Ÿญ๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿฒ๐Ÿฎ.๐Ÿฑ๐Ÿฑ) for the ๐—™๐—จ๐—Ÿ๐—Ÿ ๐—ณ๐—น๐—ถ๐—ด๐—ต๐˜ ๐—ถ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐˜†.

I contacted the agent, AS1, as soon as I got back. They told me that they can only reimburse ๐—ฆ๐—š๐——$๐Ÿฑ๐Ÿญ๐Ÿฑ (Not even half of what I paid in the Airport!). The agent even told me they would gladly meet me in court to settle the issue. When I agreed to get reimbursed for SGD$515, THEY STOPPED RESPONDING.

We subsequently learned that someone else has reported Lionsโ€™ Travel, and we are currently looking for other victims. I have filed my complaint with Carousell, DBS Bank, and Singapore Police Force but we still need more victims/witnesses to file for an official action against the person/ agency.

I am posting this for awareness! And hoping this could reach other victims as well so please share!!

SG MAN GOES KUALA LUMPUR TO SURPRISE GF, ENDS UP SHE GOT HUSBAND & KIDS

0

I had been planning my surprise trip to Kuala Lumpur for weeks.

It was going to be a special trip that would mark the beginning of a new chapter in my relationship with my girlfriend. I had been with her for a year and had decided to take the plunge and travel to her home country to meet her family and show her how much I loved her.

Unfortunately, things didn’t quite turn out the way I had envisioned them.

When I arrived in Kuala Lumpur, I was expecting to be welcomed by my girlfriend and her family. But, instead, I found out that she had been married and had two children. I was completely shocked and felt my heart sink at the news.

I had been in a long-distance relationship with my girlfriend for a year and had assumed that she was single.

We had grown close and had talked about marriage and I thought I was the only person she was interested in. I had no idea that she was already married with two children.

It was a difficult moment for me but I was determined to remain positive and make the best of the situation. I decided to remain in Kuala Lumpur and enjoy my time there as a solo holiday. I wanted to understand why she had kept this secret from me and why she hadn’t told me the truth.

At first, I was met with a lot of resistance from her family. They were not happy that I had come all the way to Malaysia to surprise my girlfriend and were worried that I would cause trouble in their family.

It was a difficult time for me as I was coming to terms with the fact that my girlfriend was already married. But, I was determined to make the best of the situation. I wanted to understand why she had kept this from me and why she had chosen to marry someone else.

After a few days in Kuala Lumpur, I finally had the chance to sit down with my girlfriend and talk about what had happened. She told me that she had been married and had two children. She said that she had kept this from me because she didn’t want to hurt me and wasn’t sure how I would react.

I was heartbroken by the news but I was also grateful that she had been honest with me and had given me the chance to understand her situation. We talked for a long time and I finally understood why she had made the decision to marry someone else.
