MAN PRESSURED TO FIND A GF FOR CNY TO AVOID RELATIVES’ QUESTIONING

0

Chinese New Year is around the corner, and like many other Chinese families, mine is no different in wanting to see me with a girlfriend.

Every year, I’m asked when will I bring my gf home. It is like I’m expected to bring someone home to celebrate with the family.

I’m the only single one in my family, so they’re always questioning me on why I’m still single, and then they proceed to set me up with their friends’ daughters or nieces.

I’m already feeling the pressure mounting as it gets closer and closer to the day and I’m still single.

I understand why my relatives are so eager to see me with a partner. Most of them are married and have children of their own, so it’s only natural that they want me to find someone and settle down too.

But the problem is, I’m not ready to settle down yet. I’m still young and have my whole life ahead of me, and I don’t want to rush into something just for the sake of appeasing my relatives.

So what do I do? Do I find someone just for the sake of having someone to bring home for Chinese New Year?

Or do I stay true to myself and just face the nagging and jibes from my relatives? It’s a tough decision to make, especially since I don’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings.

In the end, I decided to stay true to myself and not to find someone just for the sake of it. I know that if I do find someone and bring them home, my relatives will be happy and probably stop nagging me, but it’s not worth it.

I don’t want my relationship to be based on a lie, and I don’t want to put someone through that either.

So I’m going to Chinese New Year this year as a single man, and I’ll just have to face the nagging and jibes from my relatives.

It’s not an ideal situation, but it’s the only way I can stay true to myself and my beliefs. I know that in the end, they’ll come to understand my decision and hopefully stop pressuring me to find a partner.

I’m sure that I’m not the only one in this situation, and I know that there are many people out there who are feeling the same kind of pressure from their families.

My advice to them is to stay true to themselves and not to compromise on their values just to appease their relatives. It might be hard at first, but in the end it’ll be worth it.

About 100 vehicles were stuck inside a multistorey carpark at Chinatown, after the carpark’s gantry barriers malfunctioned, according to Shin Min Daily News.

The incident happened on 7 January at about 8.30pm, and the trapped vehicles were stranded for about 3 hours before they could leave the building.

The incident happened at a multi-storey carpark at Block 33 Upper Cross Street, beside the People’s Park Food Centre.

One of the drivers spoke to Shin Min Daily News and said that he was one of the drivers stuck inside the carpark.

He said that he was exiting the carpark when he found himself stuck in the long queue of vehicles, and the queue was not moving at all.

He got out of his car and went to the lower floor and saw that the gantry barriers had stopped working, with about 100 vehicles being stranded.

Impatience soon spread and some drivers sounded their horns in displeasure, and the line only started moving at about 11.30pm after that barriers started working again.

GIRL DUMPS HER KID’S FATHER AFTER GIVING BIRTH BECAUSE HE’S ‘USELESS’

0

I was 21 when I met him. He was charming, funny, and looked good on paper. He had a good job, drove a nice car, and was well-spoken.

I thought I had found the one; someone I could build a life with. I had big dreams and aspirations for the future, and I was sure he was the one who could help me achieve them.

Little did I know, he wasn’t the one for me.

I got pregnant when I was 22. We decided to keep the baby, and I moved in with him. He said he wanted to take care of us, which was music to my ears.

I was so excited to finally have someone who could help me take care of my child and provide us with a good life.

But he was unreliable and couldn’t be counted on. He would say he was working long hours and stay out late, but always had not enough money.

I was left taking care of our child on my own.

His lack of responsibility and unwillingness to help me with the child was too much for me to handle.

He also had a drinking problem and would come home late at night, always dead drunk.

I was scared of him and worried about how he would act around our child. I felt like he was a danger to us both and I knew I had to make a change.

So one day, I decided to leave him. I packed up our things and moved out with our baby. I knew it was the right thing to do, even though it was hard for me to leave him behind.

I’ve been on my own for a few months now, and I’m doing better than ever. I have a job and a place to live, and I’ve been able to provide for my child without any help from him.

I’m so proud of myself for being able to do this, and I’m thankful that I was able to make this decision.

I’m much happier now that I’m no longer relying on him. He was unreliable and couldn’t be counted on, and I’m glad I realized this before it was too late.

I’m relieved that I was able to take care of our child on my own and provide us with a better life.

It was hard to leave him, but it was the right thing to do. I’m glad I made the decision to leave him and am now living a better life without him.

GIRL HAS ENGAGEMENT RING ON FINGER, STILL TRIES TO ‘TACKLE’ GUY SHE JUST MET

0

I’ve been engaged for a few months now, but that didn’t stop me from hitting on a guy at the pub one night.

I had gone out with some friends, and we ended up at a bar that had a live band. We were all dancing and having a great time, when I noticed this guy across the room.

He was tall, with a strong jaw and broad shoulders. He had a certain air about him that made him stand out from the rest.

Before I knew it, I was making my way over to him. I don’t know what came over me, but I just had to talk to him.

I was wearing my engagement ring, so I guess it was a bit strange, but I didn’t think much of it at the time. I introduced myself, and he told me his name.

We talked for a while, and he seemed really interested in me. He even asked me to dance, and I accepted.

We laughed and joked around while we danced together, and before I knew it, I was flirting with him. I was getting lost in the moment, and I forgot all about my engagement.

I had completely forgotten that I was taken and that I was wearing a ring symbolizing my commitment to another man.

Suddenly, I remembered and felt embarrassed. I had worked up the courage to talk to this guy, and now here I was, trying to flirt with him while wearing a ring I had just promised to another man.

I quickly apologized and told him that I was taken. He seemed understanding and said it was no problem.

He even asked if I wanted to stay and dance until the end of the night, but I told him that I had to go.

I felt guilty and ashamed of myself on the way home. I had betrayed my fiancé, and I knew it.

It was a moment of weakness and I was ashamed that I let myself get carried away like that. I had gone out with the intent to have fun, not to hit on someone else.

GUY DUMPS ANG MO GF BECAUSE HE SAYS SHE IS A GOLD DIGGER

0

It happened to me recently and it hurt more than I could have expected. I had been seeing this ang mo girl for close to a year.

We met in Thailand and the connection was instant. We had the same sense of humor, the same taste in music, and the same outlook on life.

We both wanted to make a difference in the world, and we wanted to do it together.

We had plans to travel the world, to have our own business, to have a big family and all the other things that young couples in love dream about. We were inseparable.

We were always laughing and enjoying each other’s company.

But then one day, something changed. I started to notice that all of her conversations revolved around money.

She would talk about how she wanted to buy this and buy that. She would always ask me how much money I had, and she would constantly try to get me to buy her expensive things.

At first I thought she was just being playful and trying to joke around with me, but it quickly became clear that she was only interested in my money.

She didn’t care about me as a person, only about my wealth.

I was devastated. I had opened up my heart to her and let her into my life, only to find out that she was only after my money.

I knew I had to end it, but it was so hard. I had grown to love her and I didn’t want to let her go.

But I knew I had to do it. I knew I had to set boundaries and make sure that she understood that our relationship was not about money.

I told her that I could not be with someone who was only after my money and that I wanted someone who cared about me as a person.

It was a hard conversation to have, but I knew it was the right thing to do. I had to stay true to my values and make sure that I was setting the right example for myself.

The breakup was painful, but I knew I had made the right decision.

When I look back at the situation, I can’t help but be thankful that I ended the relationship when I did. It was a difficult decision, but it was the right one.

Nobody deserves to be with someone who is only after their money, and I am glad that I was able to recognize it before it was too late.

GIRL & MUM WENT DRINKING, MUM MAKES WAY FOR GIRL TO HOOK UP WITH GUY

0

It was a typical Weekend night in town. My mum and I had decided to go out and enjoy the nightlife.

We had been at the bar for a few hours, enjoying a few drinks and catching up on life.

My mum and I had been exceptionally close since I was a child because my father had left us and so I was raised up all by her efforts.

That night, something happened that I could never have expected. I saw a guy across the room who caught my eye.

I couldn’t believe it – he was even more attractive than I had imagined when I first saw him. I couldn’t take my eyes off him.

My mum noticed my gaze and said, “Go on, go talk to him.” I was taken aback – I hadn’t expected her to be so supportive!

I looked at her in surprise and she said, “Go on, I’ll stay here and keep an eye out for you.”

I took a deep breath and walked over to where he was standing. We got talking and I felt like we had a real connection.

He was so easy to talk to and we had so much in common. We kept chatting for hours and it was clear that we liked each other.

Eventually, my mum came over and said it was time to go home. She gave us a knowing smile and said, “I think you two should exchange numbers.”

She was practically pushing us together, making way for us to hook up!

I was so embarrassed and I could feel my face turning red. But my mum just smiled and said, “It’s ok, I know you like him. I don’t mind.”

So, I gathered my courage and asked him for his number. He gladly gave it to me and we drank together with my mum for a bit.

After a few drinks, my mum winked to me and announced loudly that she had some friends to meet and asked us to continue our night.

It was clear that she knew that the guy and I were all ready to ‘mate.’

After my mum left, we engaged in a little bit of flirting and it eventually led to some kissing and touching.

We eventually went back home together to do ‘adult’ business.

It was one of the wildest nights of my life and till date I still cannot believe that my Mum had paved the way for me to hook up with the guy.

SBS TRANSIT APOLOGISES AFTER BUS DRIVER REFUSED TO LET AUTISTIC BOY BOARD WITHOUT MASK

0

A netizen recently shared about how an SBS Transit bus driver allegedly refused to let her autistic son board the bus without a mask on.

The vice-president of SBS Transit’s customer experience and communications, Grace Wu, has since come out and apologised to the netizen for the unsavoury experience.

She said that the bus captain wanted to be sure because mask-wearing on public transport was mandatory, and he was seeking clarification from the SBS Operations Control Centre before resuming the journey.

However the OP and her family had already alighted from the bus before the OCC could respond accordingly.

Recap

Hi, I would like to bring awareness to public about masks wearing for special needs individuals. I’m very disappointed with SBS driver of bus 76.

I am a mother of 12 years old son (autism and non-verbal). We boarded bus 76 opposite AMK Big Mac centre at around 7.40pm.

Despite showing the special needs card and explaining to the bus driver that my son is special needs, the bus driver refused to start the bus unless my son put on a mask.

I told him out of 10 buses I took all the 10 buses allowed us to board the bus. He say he is merly following SOP and will call HQ to check.

I’ve told him that government allowed special needs to be exception in wearing mask. I told him to go ahead and make it a quick 1 as I do not want to waste other passengers time and I apologize to all the passengers as this is wasting everybody time.

I also told him that I will lodge a feedback on this issue and he challenged me to go ahead. As I was waiting, a middle aged guy walked up to me and offered a mask.

I explained that I also have masks in my bag but my son will have meltdown if I forced put on him. This guy seems pissed and walked away.

I’m quite pressured with glares from the passengers as the bus driver refused to start the bus. In the end, the call was taking too long to be answered and I have no choice but to ask my husband and son to alight the bus and wait for another bus.

This is the first time such unfortunate incident happened as we have met really awesome drivers previously. We tried calling the SBS transit call centre for help but there’s nobody answering the call.

We are not trying to make things difficult for people but just disappointed that public awareness of special needs are so bad.

It is not easy to be caregiver of special needs. We just hope to be treated fairly with due respect too.

It is fortunate that my son did not have a meltdown due to this and my husband is with me. I cannot imagine the case if my son is to have a meltdown due to this.
