GUY FEELS LONELY AS FRIENDS ARE ALL EITHER ATTACHED, MARRIED & HAVE KIDS

0

A guy shared his story online about how he actually feels lonely but keeps up with the appearance that he is doing fine and well by himself.

He has a group of co-workers who are expats to hang out with anytime he wants but rejects them as they remind him of work.

He adds on that most of his local friends are either attached or married with kids with plans on their own so it actually gets quite lonely for him.

Here is the story

“My company has lots of expats and naturally some of them become good friends even after they have left the company. We hang out occasionally on weekdays but I almost always reject meeting them on weekends cos they just remind me of work.

Many of my friends my age are attached, married or married with kids so weekends are pretty boring and lonely for me as they all have plans. Usually I’ll hang out at a couple of airy bars with a book or just go hiking around the island on my own. I used to volunteer for some causes I believe in but couldn’t commit to a regular slot cos I travel quite a bit and that was the end of it.

So while it seems I have quite a social life, it’s mainly an appearance only on weekdays and it can be a little isolating on weekends.”

NETIZEN EMBARRASSED BY OWN PARENTS FOR EATING LOUDLY IN PUBLIC

0

A netizen shared how he is embarrassed of his own parents for eating loudly when they’re out and burping/farting.

Here is the story:

“I’m feeling embarrassed by parents who behave rather uncouthly

Hear me out – my parents are blue collar workers who worked hard to put my siblings and I through school. But sometimes their lack of manners make me feel very embarrassed when I am out with them (eg clanking dining utensils really loudly, farting/burping etc).

It’s a little embarrassing bc of the looks of disdain we get from others when we eat in restaurants. However it seems like they are not affected by it/don’t notice it and do not behave more politely in public.

This is to the extent where I would avoid bringing them to nicer restaurants because I feel really embarrassed when these things happen. The thing is – I do want to bring them out to eat/experience nice stuff cause they really sacrificed a lot for my siblings and I.

I know there are people who will say that if they are not affected then why should I care so much? And also, I know it’s not their fault/they can’t really help it either. It’s not like they had these opportunities to learn how to eat fancy in school and know the courteous way to behave in public. I’ve tried to tell them to not behave so uncouthly but they feel that I’m nitpicking.

I know it sounds ungrateful/unfilial to have these thoughts, so I’m really hoping to hear from others who were/are in similar situations and how did you deal with it. Thank you in advance!”

Editor’s note: You are a disgrace.

OLDER GF SORE DOWN THERE AFTER 30 MINS, YOUNG BF COMPLAIN

0

I’m 30M and my GF is 36F. We’ve been together for about 6 years. Is it normal for 36-year-old women to be too tired for bedtime activities about 3 times a week? A lot of the time when I try to initiate she says she’s too tired.

I was wondering if she’s too tired due to work, but I’m also in the same line of work as her. Her working hours might be a bit longer than mine, but there’s not much difference.

Then I thought maybe she wasn’t really enjoying it? But when we do it, she does actually get quite wet.

What other possible reasons are there?

It has been like that for quite a while already, around 4 years. For the last few years I’ve just resorted to relieving myself but I don’t feel like doing that for the rest of my life.

Maybe another possible reason is that I take too long to ‘finish’? Usually, we do it for around 30 mins until she says she starts to feel tired down there so we transition to other kinds of “jobs”.

At least she manages to get the job done eventually. But a lot of the time I can see she starts to look kinda tired and I have to try to finish it asap or else she might start pulling a long face and looking a bit sulky.

So is it normal for 36F to feel tired or kinda sore down there after about 30 mins?

Here is what netizens think

  • A few points to consider here. Are you two staying together? Is she doing the housework alone? What position is your 30 minutes in?If she doing housework alone, of course she feel tired everyday taking care of a big child. If the whole 30 minutes she is the only one moving then of course she has to be tired.
  • Its you and her. Trust me. I’ve done an hour before, and if you’re with the right partner, it’s never tired

OLD MAN SHOUTED AT COUPLE FOR NOT GIVING UP THEIR SEATS TO HIS FAMILY @ EATERY

0

A netizen shared how she was having a meal at an eatery with her boyfriend when an old man started shouting at her for not giving up her seat to his family.

Here is the story:

“I got shouted at by an uncle today and would like to know if I’ve done anything wrong.

My bf and I were at a smallish eatery with a free seating policy. There were 4 tables with face to face (f2f) seats, and 1 was available when we arrived so we took it. The other f2f tables were occupied by other couples and a group of 3. Elsewhere in the restaurant you would have to sit side by side.

Our meal came, we dug in, then an old uncle inquired from the entrance of the eatery, in an impossibly loud voice, “Can sit behind? [i.e. the side by side formation] I need your table. I have 4 pax and I have kids with me.” We asked the restaurant if we needed to move, but they said it was free seating so we don’t have to if we are uncomfortable. We then declined to move as we were midway through our meal, and the uncle was effectively shouting at us. I couldn’t understand why we were being shouted at? It was quite clear that even couples are allowed to take f2f tables – another couple had occupied the f2f table and we’ve been here more than once. I seriously doubt we have done anything wrong.

Once uncle heard that we declined, he descended at once into an angry tirade. He loudly told his kids that bf and I “have poor upbringing” and “normally people will give up their seats but they want to have their cheap candlelight dinner” as they lingered around the eatery. And could not stop pointing his fingers at bf and I. Did not appreciate this at all.

I get that he was hungry, but we were literally halfway through a meal. Couldn’t uncle have waited for a table to clear up? I mean when I go to restaurants with silly formations and sorely lacking in seats (to comply with SDM), I don’t demand that they rejig seating arrangement so that I can be seated; I simply wait for a table, annoying as waiting may be. Perhaps if the Uncle had came up to us and asked sheepishly and apologised, I would have agreed. But he chose to demand a table loudly by speaking to us halfway across the restaurant (there was nothing stopping him from entering and approaching us), and didn’t even apologise. Beyond that I really saw no reason why he had to shout at us.

It may be that we would’ve avoided all this by simply agreeing to take a side-by-side seat, but I really disliked the way Uncle felt entitled to our seat simply because he he brought 4 pax. What does one do when a restaurant runs of seats) Wait, wait, wait…”

Editor’s note: I don’t think you did anything wrong, the restaurant handled it badly.

A 33-year-old man was arrested yesterday for his suspected involvement in the murder of a 30-year-old woman at Ang Mo Kio.

The police said in a news release that they were alerted to a stabbing case at a home at Ang Mo Kio Street 23 on 11 January at about 7.35am.

A woman was found lying motionless inside the unit when the police officers arrived and she was pronounced dead at the scene.

Police investigations are ongoing, and preliminary investigations revealed that the man and woman were married.

GIRL TELLS MUM SHE WANTS TO REMAIN SINGLE CAUSE SHE LIKES GIRLS

0

A story was shared online by a girl who has always been telling her mother that she wants to remain single and does not want to have kids.

The girl shares that she is actually interested in her own gender but she is unable to come out as she thinks that it is easier for people to think that she prefers to be alone than to admit her orientation.

Another factor that is stopping her from ‘coming out’ is because of the job that she is holding.

It is unclear what kind of job she is holding and it’s most probably a sensitive job.

Here is her story

“I’ve told my mum I don’t want to get married or have kids. I’ve let her think it’s because I’m not the most attractive person and can’t find people to date, but actually it’s because it’s easier to pretend to be forever alone than to admit that I’m lesbian/bi.

Forever alone is still a very real prospect though. Can’t come out cos of my job, which pays well and is just too comfortable to give up. Which means dating is a problem. Oh well I’m resigned to it.”

Here are what netizens think:

  • The girl might have a point because in many countries like ours, we can actually get married legally
  • Not only marry, you want to buy HDB need to buy as single. Wait until 35 years old.
  • I curious leh, SG what job cannot ‘come out’ teacher ah?
  • hope everything is doing right for you, its not easy as the society acceptance is very different from acceptance from family
  • Sometimes living a lie is like living two lives. You can’t do this, maybe you should go to another country that legalize gay marriage. It’s better than staying to suffer. You should do something about it once we can travel more easily.

GIRL SHARES TOUCHING STORY OF ENCOUNTER WITH 2 JAPANESE LADIES WHILE HOLIDAYING

0

A girl shared a story online on her encounter with two Japanese elderly ladies while she was holidaying in Japan.

She was on the train when two elderly Japanese ladies tried to start a conversation with her.

As she did not know how to speak or understand Japanese, she could not reply the two elderly ladies and took out her passport to try to tell them that she did not understand them.

Here is the story

“I once went to Japan, while I was in the train to Arashiyama two elderly Japanese lady tried to converse with me but I couldn’t understand. Then for some reason I pulled out my passport and pointed at it and said “me Singapore” in an attempt to explain where I am from.

Seconds later both ladies reached out to their bags/purse and each pulled out a piece of origami and passed it to me. At that moment I never really understood the significance of the origami until I later found out that it was a symbol of peace.

I also found out that the Japanese people never wanted the war and this was their way of saying sorry to the people the Japanese people had killed or to the countries they have invaded.

Till today the two origami are placed right in front of my desk.”

SICK MOTHER ASKED SON FOR MONEY FOR THE FIRST TIME, BUT HE DOESN’T WANT TO GIVE HER

0

A netizen shared how his parents always beat him when he was growing up. But recently, his mother asked him for money for the first time and he was reluctant to give it to her.

Here is the story:

“My parents used to hit me a lot.

If I did something wrong, if they are angry about something or someone, … they hit me. Sometimes, I woke up and already get yelled at, I don’t even know why. If my mom hit me in the afternoon because I did something wrong, by the time my dad was home around 6~7pm, she told him what I did, and he too will hit me. There are countless times when I sit in a table with them for dinner in tears while they continue to yell at me, I didn’t even dare to pick up the spoon to eat anything, I just sit there and cry.

They hit me with everything they can grab, broomstick, belt, plastic chair, comb, … even a pan. They hit me in the face, hands, legs, … everywhere I can’t cover. There are even times my mother strips me of all my clothing and pushes my head in a big barrel of water. I still have nightmares until this day, I’m 28 now.

My mom used to say she will never need a single cent from me, she will never count on me for anything, and how much of a disappointment I am. Even as a kid, I always want to run away, but I can’t, I didn’t have money or anything.

I hate them to the bone. I used to swear to myself that I will never give them back anything.

For the past 10 years, I make my own money, and buy everything I want but never had as a kid. My parents also change since I make my own money, and they don’t have anything to control me anymore.

A week ago, my mother was sick and have to stay in the hospital for 2 days. They call me and told me that they need money. It was the first time my parents ask me for money. I have the money, I just don’t know should I do it or not. My girlfriend told me that I should because after all, they are my parents. After a lot of back and forth in my head for a while, I send them the money, but deep down in my heart, I don’t want to.

I don’t know what I did was right or wrong, I don’t know how I feel now. I wish they just said they love me just once, things would have been different now.

If you have kids or someone you love, please don’t hurt them, tell them how much you love them every day.”

Editor’s note: At the end of the day, she’s still your mother isn’t she?

MAN WEARS WIFE’S UNDERWEAR (THONGS) ALL DAY BECAUSE HE FINDS IT “HOT”

0

A woman shared how her husband has been wearing her underwear (namely her tiny thongs) all day because he finds it “hot” and “attractive”.

Here is the story:

“My husband has been wearing my underwear and I don’t find it very attractive????

He just started doing this recently and he thinks it’s so hot. He puts on my tiny thongs and wears them all day under his clothes.

I don’t think it’s attractive and I haven’t shown ANY interest in this. He always wants me to grab his ass and pull up the thong.

Sometimes he makes me wonder.”

Editor’s note: Tell him to buy his own instead of taking yours.

FAKE “SHOPEE PAY” APP, NEW JOB SCAM VARIANT

0

11 people have fallen to the new job scam variant known as “Shopee Pay” losing a total of at least $53,000, The scammers typically contact people through social media and offer victims a job.

The app is not related to the online shopping platform Shopee.

The job will include asking the victims to transact on the app and promises commission earnings through the sale of products on the fake mobile application.

To complete “work” criteria and trade within the bogus mobile app, victims would be urged to deposit monies into their “Shopee Pay” accounts by acquiring cryptocurrency (e.g., USDT) and sending it to cryptocurrency wallet addresses specified within the app. In certain cases, the cryptocurrency would be acquired via peer-to-peer (P2P) transactions such as bank transfers or PayNow.

After completing the jobs, it would reflect that the victim is earning money in the app.

However, victims were advised that the “Singapore Monetary Authority” had blocked their “Shopee Pay” accounts and that further fund top-ups were required to free monies. When victims were unable to withdraw the commissions reflected in their “Shopee Pay” accounts, they realized they had been duped.
