AUNTIE PUT LEG ON BUS WINDOW, SCOLDED BY UNCLE THEN CALLS HIM “POOR” FOR TAKING BUS

A video emerged online showing a middle-aged woman resting her feet on the window of a bus as though she was lounging in her own living room.

She was then called out for her lack of civic-mindedness by another passenger, an uncle who was sitting opposite her.

Unhappy at being called out, she then got into a Hokkien argument with the uncle.

The uncle was heard in the video telling the auntie that the bus wasn’t her home, and asking her how old was she to be behaving like this.

The auntie then told him to “go and find his wife”, to which the uncle then responded by saying she had no manners.

The auntie then told the uncle that it was none of his business, and the uncle then said that he has to speak up because what she was doing is not right.

He also called the auntie out for raising her voice despite being in the wrong, and the auntie then retorted by accusing the uncle of being “poor” for taking the bus.

Like water off a duck’s back, the insult didn’t affect the uncle, who said that there was nothing wrong with being poor, but behaving the way she’s behaving is wrong.

10 Y.O BOY TRAPPED IN 35M OF CONCRETE PILE DEAD, RESCUERS TRYING TO RETRIEVE BODY

0

A 10-year-old boy in Vietnam, who has been trapped in a concrete pile measuring 35 metres deep since 31 December, has since been declared dead, according to Reuters.

Rescuers had spent almost 100 hours trying to free 10-year-old Lý Hạo Nam, but to no avail.

The boy was pronounced dead yesterday afternoon (4 January) by the local authorities, according to Vietnam News.

The authorities declared the boy dead after assessing the time and location of the accident, which was deemed to have likely caused the boy multiple injuries.

They also factored in the harsh conditions of the concrete pit in their decision-making.

The rescuers are now trying to search for the boy’s body instead of finding him alive anymore.

Recap

The boy was with three other children from his neighbourhood in the afternoon of 31 December, when they went to a construction site of a bridge to collect some metal pieces, according to VnExpress.

He then fell down a concrete pillar that measured about 25cm across, and was trapped inside.

The boy was heard by witnesses screaming for 10 minutes after he fell in, but then he eerily stopped screaming after that.

The authorities deployed equipment and rescuers to save the boy, giving him oxygen and water to keep him alive, but it all proved to be in vain.

They will now be trying to retrieve his body to prepare for the funeral, with the authorities bringing the boy’s father to the scene before they declared his son dead.

The Kwan Im Thong Hood Cho Temple along Waterloo Street will be cancelling their Chinese New Year’s eve event of incense offering for the 3rd year in a row.

The management of the temple has made the decision to cancel the event, in spite of the lifting of restrictions since last year.

The temple will instead be closed at 6.30pm on Chinese New Year’s Eve.

The event was previously cancelled in 2021 and 2022 due to the pandemic and in view of the devotees’ safety because of the large crowds that will gather there.

A spokesperson for the temple said that they will be open from 7am to 6.30pm on Chinese New Year’s eve (21 January).

Some other activities will also be suspended from 20 to 24 January, such as the Kau Chim and requests for protective amulets.

MAN TRIES ALMOST 20 TIMES TO BE FLIGHT ATTENDANT, STILL GETS REJECTED

0

I’ve always been fascinated by the idea of becoming an airline flight attendant.

After all, who wouldn’t want to travel the world and get paid for it?

For years, I’ve been applying to any and all airlines that I could find, trying my luck at getting a job as an attendant.

Unfortunately, after nearly 20 attempts, I still haven’t been successful.

It all started a couple of years ago when I decided to try my luck at a local airline’s flight attendant interview.

I spent weeks studying, rehearsing and preparing for the interview. I had a great feeling about it and was sure that I would nail it

As I walked into the interview room, all my hopes and dreams of becoming a flight attendant were dashed.

The interviewer seemed uninterested in my qualifications and was very dismissive of my answers. I felt like I was doing everything I could to make a good impression, but it was all for naught.

After the interview, the admin came by and called out those who were rejected and told us to apply again in the future.

This happened consecutively for a few interviews.

I was so disappointed that I decided to take a break from applying for a while. I thought that maybe if I gave it some time, my luck would change.

So I waited a few months and then decided to give it another shot. This time, I prepared even more thoroughly, studying materials and doing practice interviews.

I was sure that I was ready and this time I would get the job.

But, yet again, the same thing happened. I was rejected, and the interviewer seemed uninterested in me.

I was crushed. I tried the same airline a few more times, but each time the response was the same.

I was starting to get desperate and thought that maybe if I applied to a different airline, I would have better luck.

I applied to several different airlines, but all of them rejected me as well.

Each time, I was rejected and was told to apply again in the future.

At this point, I was starting to lose hope and was feeling like I was never going to get a job as a flight attendant.

I started to feel like I had wasted all this time and energy trying to become a flight attendant, only to be rejected.

But I don’t want to give up my dreams of flying.

MAN LEADS DOUBLE LIFE, AFTER 11PM HE BECOMES A ‘DUCK’

0

By day, I’m an office worker at a corporate job. But by night, I’m a ‘duck’.

It’s a life I never thought I’d be leading. I never imagined I’d be leading a double life, let alone one that involves s-.

But sometimes life takes us on unexpected journeys, and this is where mine has taken me.

At my day job, I’m the consummate professional. I dress and act the part, and I’m very good at my job. I’m even on the fast track for promotion.

But when the clock strikes 11, I leave my corporate self behind and slip into something more shady.

By night, I’m the object of desire. I meet my clients dressed to the nines.

I’m paid to be their arm candy and provide companionship, but the reality is that I’m a paid ‘duck’ and I’m expected to provide s- services.

I know that some people might think that what I’m doing is wrong, and I understand why.

Of course, I’m careful to keep my two lives separate. I’m very discreet with my clients and I’m careful to never let any of them know what I do by day.

And I’m also careful to never let anyone at my day job know what I do by night.

This double life is hard work, but it’s also incredibly helpful with my finances. I’m able to pay the bills and loans and also have extra money to splurge on a lavish lifestyle.

So, that’s my double life. By day, I’m a corporate worker. But by night, I’m a ‘duck’.

It’s not a life that I expected to be living or wish to even get into it in the first place, but it’s the life I’m living because I have to and I’m embracing it.

MAN ASKS IF THOSE PEOPLE WHO CLAIM TO EARN FROM DROP SHIPPING REALLY EARNS

0

I’ve been following the online business world for quite some time now, and one of the hottest topics I keep coming across is drop shipping.

It seems like everyone is talking about how lucrative it is, and how easy it is to make money from it. I’ve even seen people claiming to make thousands of dollars a month from it.

But as someone who’s been in the game for a while, I can’t help but wonder if these claims are true.

After all, I’ve seen plenty of other business models come and go, only to be replaced by the next big thing.

So are these people really making money from drop shipping, and if so, why would they be so ready to share their money making secrets?

To get to the bottom of this, I decided to do some research. I looked into what drop shipping is and how it works. I also read up on the success stories of those who’ve made it big, as well as the failures.

After reading up on all of this, I can say that it is possible to make money from drop shipping, but it’s not as easy as all these people claim.

Drop shipping works by selling products from a third-party supplier. The drop shipper takes orders from customers and then ships the products directly to them.

This means that the drop shipper doesn’t need to keep any inventory, which can significantly reduce their overhead costs.

The key to success in drop shipping is finding the right suppliers and products. This means that you have to do your research and find products that are in high demand and have a good profit margin.

You also need to establish relationships with reliable suppliers who can provide you with quality products.

Once you’ve found the right suppliers and products, you need to market your business. This means creating a website, setting up social media accounts, and doing whatever you can to promote your products.

Without proper marketing, your drop shipping business will never reach its full potential.

So, after doing all this research, I can definitively say that it is possible to make money from drop shipping.

But it’s not easy, and it’s certainly not a get rich quick scheme.

You need to invest time and effort into finding the right suppliers, products, and marketing strategy.

But if you’re willing to put in the work, then you can definitely make a profitable drop shipping business.

35 Y.O MAN HAS NEVER WORKED BEFORE AS HIS AH GONG LEFT HIM 2 SHOPHOUSES

0

When I think of my friend, I can’t help but feel both admiration and envy. He is 35 years old and he has never worked a single day in his life.

His life is a stark contrast to my own, where I have to wake up every morning and clock in at the office. How did he manage this?

It all started when his grandfather left him two shophouses. It was an unexpected inheritance that he wasn’t expecting.

It was a huge shock for him, but it was also a huge blessing. He was able to rent out the shophouses and collect a steady stream of income from the tenants. This enabled him to live a life of comfort and ease.

With the rental income from these properties, he’s been able to live a life of leisure. He spends his days going on frequent trips to clubs, the casinos, fine dining and shopping.

He even has two to three expensive cars where he changes very frequently.

I’ve always been a bit jealous of my friend’s lifestyle. I mean, who wouldn’t want to be able to wake up every morning and not have to worry about money?

He’s able to live without any kind of financial stress or worry.

However, with money coming in so easily for him, he has become a little bit too pampered, domineering and demanding.

Whenever things does not go his way, he would throw up a big tantrum and force everyone to let him have his way.

It was hard for a lot of us who hanged out with him, as we all had our own jobs and commitments but it felt like we had an extra ‘baby’ to take care of.

Eventually, a lot of us could not keep up with him and chose to leave the clique.

He is now still living the same lifestyle, albeit with a different group of friends as he has found people of his ‘level’ who can accept his ways.

BROTHERS TRY TO ‘SMOKE’ FRIEND INTO GIVING THEM MONEY WITH DIFFERENT WAYS

0

My brother and I had been trying to find a way to make some easy money for a while now.

We had heard that our friend had a lot of money and thought it would be a great way to get some of it without having to work for it.

We decided to try to bluff him into giving us some money.

My brother’s plan was to pretend that he was in need of money desperately and that he would do anything to get it. He thought that our friend would feel sorry for him and would be more likely to give him some money.

He also said that if he was convincing enough, our friend would think that he was desperate enough to do something drastic and would be more likely to give him money out of fear.

My plan was much more subtle. I suggested that we tell him about a great new business opportunity that we had heard about and that he should invest in it.

I thought that if we made it sound like a great opportunity, he would be more likely to invest in it and give us some money.

I also thought that it would be a good way to get money from him without him feeling like we were trying to take advantage of him.

My brother thought my plan was foolish and said that his plan was much better. We argued back and forth for a while before finally deciding to try both plans.

We waited until our friend was alone and then tried our plans. We started with my brother’s plan and he put on a really good show. He was convincing enough to make our friend believe that he was really desperate and in need of money.

Our friend ended up giving my brother some money out of pity and my brother was really happy.

I then tried my plan. I told our friend about the great business opportunity that we had heard about and he seemed very interested. I was able to convince him that it was a great opportunity and he decided to invest some money in it.

Eventually we both got our money in our own ways but my brother’s method became unusable after a while because people are mostly likely to be ‘kind hearted’ once or twice only while mine is still doing well because the friend is a sleeping partner and would part with money for the ‘business’ when needed.
