WOMAN DUMPED BF BECAUSE HIS FAMILY SERVED HER “SIMPLE” FOOD WHEN SHE VISITED

0

A woman in China dumped her boyfriend after his parents served her “simple” food, according to a post on Weibo.

She had purportedly travelled two and a half hours to her boyfriend’s parents home in Sichuan by car, in a rural area of the region.

She said that when she visited his parents, she was served fried egg noodles, fried vegetables, pumpkin porridge and other cold dishes.

She was expecting something “more” and asked her boyfriend why his parents didn’t serve her something more extravagant since this was her first time meeting them.

The boyfriend then told her that this is what common folks eat every day.

Feeling like she was not treated well, the dissatisfied woman said that “he knows I don’t like to eat noodles, but I was served noodles at every meal”.

She then packed her bags and left after staying there for 2 days, and also decided to dump her boyfriend.

MAN HELPED BUILD COMPANY UP BUT SACKED BECAUSE BOSS THINKS HIS SALARY ‘TOO HIGH’

0

When I joined the company two years ago, I had no idea of the impact I was about to make.

I had a degree in management and a lot of ambition, and I was determined to make a difference.

My hard work and dedication paid off and I was quickly promoted to a senior role.

I was in charge of managing the team and overseeing operations, and I worked hard to make sure that everything ran smoothly.

I brought in new ideas and strategies to increase efficiency, and before long, the company was thriving.

I was proud of the accomplishments I was making, but I started to worry when I noticed my boss paying more attention to me.

I had the feeling that he wanted to get rid of me, but I couldn’t figure out why.

He then called me into his office one day and told me that my salary was too high. He said that the company couldn’t afford to pay me what I was earning, and that I needed to take a pay cut or leave.

I was shocked and hurt. I had worked so hard and had been so dedicated to the company, but now my boss was asking me to leave.

I tried to negotiate with him, but he refused to budge. He said that I had to take the pay cut or leave, and that was final.

Eventually, I decided to leave. It was a difficult decision, but I knew that it was the right thing to do.

I had worked hard to build the company up and I didn’t want to stay somewhere where my efforts weren’t appreciated.

I left the company with a heavy heart, as whatever the company had today were mostly fruits of my labour.

I also could not accept the fact that my boss had used the excuse that they could not afford to pay me to ask me to leave when the company finances were strong.

I then realised that he thought that my role was easy and he could find someone cheaper who he thinks can take up the job and help the company to prosper.

After I left, I heard that my previous company’s sales took a dip in less than half a year.

I now have a new job, and I’m doing well. I’m making more money and I’m happier.

My new boss also appreciates what I have brought to his company and trusts me wholeheartedly.

Looking back, I’m glad that I had the courage to stand up for myself and leave the company

It was a difficult decision, but it was definitely the right one.

MAN USED SINGTEL’S APP TO ASK FOR HELP, WAITED 1 HOUR FOR AGENT TO RESPOND

0

Facebook user Marcus Chua shared how he had an issue with his Singtel services and used their in-app messaging service to ask for help.

He said that he waited “more than 1 hour” for a response from “Agent Jenny”, before being told that they couldn’t assist him.

Here is what he said

Guys, if u all have any issues with Singtel, pls do not use their in-app messaging service. They will make you wait for their response more than 1 hour, for me with Agent Jenny, End up, telling you something where they cannot assist you at all.

I think the waiting not just happened in calling in, it is happening with their in-app messaging to their agent.

Feedback to SingTel, was told by Agent Jenny that she is handling multiple customer’s issues at the same time , hence results in the prolong waiting and response.

This is poorly management of call Center, they should have more focus to dedicated customer who call in and resolve at a time before attending to next customers.

Just sharing my unpleasant experience with Singtel

MAN LOST A BUSINESS DEAL AS HE COULD NOT WAKE UP DUE TO DRINKING

0

I had just finished a successful work week, and I was feeling great. I decided to go out and celebrate with a few drinks.

I was not an excessive drinker, so I figured I’d just have a few and enjoy myself. Little did I know, that decision would end up costing me a lot more than I could have imagined.

The next morning, I woke up late. I had a meeting with a client at 8am, and it was 7:30. I was in a panic as I quickly tried to get ready.

After a few minutes of scurrying around, I realized that I was in no condition to go to the meeting. I had drank too much the night before and was still feeling the effects.

I quickly sent the client an apology and asked to reschedule.

Unfortunately, the client was not happy with my response and canceled the meeting. I was devastated.

I had worked hard to get the meeting, and now it was gone. It was then that I realized how much damage my drinking had caused.

I had been so focused on having a good time, that I had neglected to think about the consequences of my actions.

I received an earful from my boss when he found out about what happened as we had worked hard to secure the deal in the weeks prior to that day.

To make it worse, the deal was worth almost a million dollars and I blew it up just because of my actions.

It was a tough lesson to learn, but it taught me a valuable life lesson. I now realize the importance of moderation and self-control.

I also understand that drinking too much can have serious consequences. It’s not worth risking my career or reputation for a few drinks.

I now make sure to be mindful of how much I drink and to always think about the consequences of my actions.

I know that drinking too much can lead to bad decision making and can have a negative impact on my life.

I hope that my story can serve as a reminder to others of the importance of moderation and self-control.

It’s important to remember that drinking too much can have serious consequences, and it’s not worth risking your career or reputation for a few drinks.

MAN PAID FOR TEXAS CHICKEN DELIVERY BUT ORDER WAS REJECTED, 1 MONTH LATER STILL NO REFUND

0

Disappointed with Texas Chicken.

I ordered dinner for Dec 6, 2022 through Texas chicken’s app. I set the delivery time to 6:45pm and when at 6:43pm, I opened the app to find that my order was rejected by the Yishun branch.

However, they charged my credit card!

After that I contacted them and they said they needed time to investigate, few days later when I contacted them again, they said the app malfunctioned and then needed to more time to verify payment in order to process the refund.

When I contacted them again on December 23, 2022, they said it would take 7 business days to process the refund.

Today is the 9th business day, which is more than a month since this happened. Back when I first contacted them, I already provided proof of bank debit and screenshots of their rejected order, I don’t understand on the basis of this evidence, does it still take more than a month to investigate and refund?

Now I haven’t received any refund.

MAN SAYS HE’S LUCKY HIS GF LIKE TO STAY HOME & ‘NUA’, SAME AS HIM

0

I’ve always been a practical person, so when I met my girlfriend, I was taken by her ability to stay in and just chill, instead of going out and spending money.

I thought it was a sign of maturity and a good way to save money, and it’s something I’ve come to appreciate even more as we’ve been in a relationship for over a year now.

When we first started dating, we’d go out to dinner and a movie or drinks, but it was always on a budget.

We’d find cheap restaurants, and more often than not, we’d just stay in and cook dinner. She’d pop in a movie and we’d cuddle up on the sofa to watch it.

As our relationship has grown, I’ve come to really appreciate the fact that she’s content to stay at home.

We still go out for dinner or to a movie every now and then, but it’s not something we do all the time. Instead, we’ll take walks around the neighborhood, or just sit at the balcony and talk.

When we do go out, it’s never an extravagant night. We’ll go to the nearest mall to get some beers and then go to the grocery store for dinner, and I’ll cook.

We’ll talk about our day, and then when we’re done, we’ll head back home.

It’s been so nice to have a girlfriend who’s content to stay in and relax. I can’t think of anything more romantic than that.

We’ll make dinner together, or she’ll cook while I clean up the kitchen. We’ll play a board game or watch a movie. We’ll talk about our day, and sometimes we’ll just sit in silence, enjoying each other’s company.

I’m so lucky that my girlfriend likes to stay at home and chill instead of going out and spending money.

We can still go out and have fun, but it doesn’t have to be an expensive night. We can just stay in and have a good time, and I love that.

It’s a great way to save money and to just enjoy each other’s company. It’s something I’ll always appreciate.

Singapore currently has the second most powerful passport in the world, according to Henley & Partners’ latest global index report which was published on Tuesday (10 January).

Singapore was tied with South Korea in 2nd place, with both countries having visa-free access to 192 countries – Japan took the crown with visa-free access to 193 countries for the second year in a row.

Singapore previously took the top spot in 2021, before dropping to 2nd place in 2022 with Japan overtaking us, and again this year.

The top three most powerful passports in the rankings were held by countries in Asia, with the rest of the Top 10 being held by Europe.

Noteworthily, Singapore is the only country in Southeast Asia to be in the Top 10 of the ranking.

In contrast, Afghanistan had the least powerful passport in the world, followed by Iraq and Syria.

MAN WENT TO GF HOUSE, FINDS WHITE ‘STAINS’ ON HER BED

0

I had been dating my girlfriend for a couple of months, and I was excited to finally get the chance to visit her place for the first time.

She had been talking about it for a while and I was eager to see what it was like.

When I arrived, I was pleasantly surprised. Her apartment was cozy and inviting, and it felt like a home.

I could tell that she had put a lot of effort into making it look nice, and I was impressed.

But then I noticed something strange. On her bedsheet, there were some ‘stains’.

I knew immediately that it was ‘stains’ from another guy, and I felt a wave of disgust wash over me.

It was obvious that someone else had been here recently and had been intimate with her.

My mind started racing and I felt my heart sink. I wanted to confront her about it but I didn’t know how.

I was so angry and hurt that I couldn’t even bring myself to speak. I just stared at the ‘stains’, feeling betrayed and confused.

Eventually, I asked her about it. She told me that a few weeks ago, she had invited a guy she had just met over for a one-night stand.

I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. I was so angry and hurt that I didn’t even know what to say.

I felt like my world had been turned upside down. I had been so happy and excited to finally visit her place, but now all I wanted to do was get out of there as quickly as possible.

I couldn’t even look at her. I grabbed my things and quickly left, feeling like my heart had been ripped out of my chest.

I haven’t spoken to her since that day. I still can’t believe she would do something like that to me. I thought I knew her, but it turns out I was wrong.

I still feel betrayed and hurt, and I’m not sure if I’ll ever be able to trust her again.

CHINA STOPS ISSUING VISAS TO JAPAN & KOREA IN RESPONSE TO THEIR RESTRICTIONS ON CHINA

0

According to Reuters, China has suspended issuing short-term visas to the Japanese and South Korean citizens as part of “reciprocal measures” after the two countries imposed new travel restrictions on travellers from China due to the surge of cases in the country (China).

China reversed their zero-covid policy and reopened its borders on 8 January.

The spokesperson for China’s foreign ministry, Wang Wenbin, said in a press conference on 10 January that “a handful of countries” had “disregarded science, facts and the actual pandemic situation” and took “discriminatory entry restriction measures” that “targeted China”.

He added that China “firmly rejects” these measures and will take “reciprocal measures” in response.

A notice was then released by the Chinese embassy in South Korea, announcing the suspension of visas being issued for South Koreans who plan to visit China.

They also did the same for the China embassy in Japan.

MAN WORKS AT DIU WHERE RICH TAI TAIS FREQUENT, $5,000/SONG TIPS NO PROBLEM

0

It was my first night at the nightclub, and I knew it was going to be different than any other job I had ever had.

I had been approached to come and try to work by one of the shareholders of this particular joint in town.

I had heard the rumors about this place; that the patrons were rich tai tais who were willing to tip exorbitant amounts of money for a song.

I had no idea how true those rumors were until I saw it firsthand.

The club was beautiful. The lights were low, the music was loud, and the drinks were flowing. It was a sight to behold and I was in awe.

I had been hired as a ‘waiter’ and my job was to entertain these rich tai tais and see to their requests.

As the night went on, I could feel the energy in the room. People were chatting, laughing, and having a great time.

I myself was having fun entertaining the rich tai tais who asked for me earlier.

Then came a time when all the ‘waiters’ had to go up to the stage to sing a song for all the patrons in the club.

I was second in line, and as the first guy sang his song, I noticed people with flower garlands walking up to him and hanging it around him.

Those flower garlands had figures written on them and figures ranged from $100 minimally to even $10,000.

At the end of the first guy’s song, he had about $2,000 worth or garlands around him.

Then came my turn to sing and I nervously walked up.

As I sang my song, there were some patrons who tipped me $100 and then I got a shock of my life when the flower girl came up and hanged a $5,000 garland around my neck.

Turns out, it was the rich tai tai whom I was serving who tipped me that amount and I was not even half way through my song!

It was an incredible feeling. I had never made this kind of money before, and I was ecstatic. I felt like I was on top of the world.

As the night went on, I started to realize something else. Many of these women were married. They were coming to the club to escape their everyday lives and maybe even cheat on their husbands and they were willing to pay for it.

At first, I felt guilty.

After a while I thought to myself that then these women were consenting adults and they knew what they were getting into.

They were there because they wanted to be, and they were willing to pay for it.

As the night went on, I became more and more comfortable with the situation. I was making more money than I ever had before, and I was proud of myself for taking a chance and making it work.

I ended up working at the club for a few months.

Of course, some nights I did not make much while some nights I made quite a little.

However, in the duration of that few months, I made more money than I ever could have imagined. I was able to pay off some of my student loans and even put a down payment on a car.
