MAN WHO IS GOING TO ORD SOON PANICS AS HE IS WORRIED ABOUT HIS CAREER

0

So, i ORD next August and with that nearing, i’ve been looking into getting back into my normal life. My 1st option is to get into uni but the problem is this…

I graduated from poly with an audio engineering diploma.

For those who may not know what that means, it basically involves anything where sound is concerned. Live sound for the stage, music production, movie and video sound effects, etc. Anything from setting up the equipment to editing, that’s what I was trained to do. However, I came to realise around the late 2nd yr to early 3rd yr that this line of work may not be as lucrative/sustainable as I would like to allow me to live somewhat comfortably and provide for my family. And admittedly, my choice of diploma post-o’lvl was quite impulse-fueled.

So now i wanna jump ship. Change industry. Specifically, i wanna get into Physiotherapy. The only uni that seems to offer this is SIT but after researching, it appears that I need to have had prior education relevant to physio but since i came from a completely different background, i think my chances of getting in are basically next to 0. So i thought my next best bet is a work-study programme. But when i check out Skillsfuture, all the courses they offer, they either dun relate to physio or i just have no interest in it.

My last option is i go and get a part time job or smth but it most likely won’t be a job that i can sustain working in for long because of either the pay or my lack of interest just drains me quicker. I need better direction.

Maybe im missing smth right now. Idk but im feeling pretty lost here. So if y’all can help enlighten my dumb ass and help me get my bearings on wut to do in the local landscape after i ord, i would greatly appreciate it.

MAN WORKS DAY & NIGHT TO SUPPORT FAMILY, DISCOVER WIFE MAKING OUT AT BAR

0

My (31m)wife (29f), now ex. We’ve been together for over a decade and engaged for about two and a half years. school sweethearts, two years ago she gave birth to our son.

Since then she’s decided to go to nursing school so our son can have a better future. To make this possible, I’ve worked overtime, cooked dinner every night, watched my son every afternoon, put him to bed myself, and done household chores, bent over backwards for this family. To give her a chance to pass these rigorous classes so we could get ahead in life.

Tonight, literally a few hours ago, my life came crumbling down.

One of the very few nights we get to ourselves since our son was born we decided to go out to a bar/ dance club with some friends.

At one point I tell her I’m going outside to smoke, she says she’s going to dance with her girlfriend. I tell her all right I’ll be back in a few

Halfway out I realized I’d forgotten the cigarettes in her purse as she smokes it occasionally. I come back into the dance floor and find her making out with a complete stranger, I sit back and stare in complete shock for a few seconds. I can’t even process what is happening. Then I snap back to reality and split her off from this effing guy.

I lost it, I screamed at her what the F is wrong with you, and left the bar.

My family, my sons family destroyed for what? It makes zero sense to me. I am so devestated beyond words.

As a child of divorce, this is my worst nightmare, I gave her and my son my all. Every fibre of my being went into being a good father and husband. All of that thrown away for a drunken hookup with a stranger.

I’m reeling, I feel sick. My mom has my son for the night thank god but I am just lost. This all happened three hours ago and I’m so heartbroken I can’t think straight. I locked her out of the house and told her to go to her parents. She’s begging me to listen to reason, that he took advantage of her. Maybe if I hadn’t sat there and watched her I’d have fallen for that gaslight.

I don’t even know what I want from this post. I just need to vent. I’m broken, mostly for my son that will never know growing up with his family intact, the same nightmare I lived through.

I’m so shocked and hurt. I just don’t know.

MAN WANTS TO MOVE OUT FROM FAMILY CAUSE HE LIKES OTHER MAN, WORRIES INHERITANCE

0

Hey everyone, currently in a predicament and would definitely like your input.

I (30M) and my brother (26M) currently live with my parents (both 70) somewhere & overall it’s been okay, but I definitely feel like I need to move on with my life and be independent.

The situation is this: I don’t practice the same religion as my parents anymore (parents are mega C) & I also have a BF (32M) who is in the same situation. After years of thought, he and I are in agreement to move in together and to begin our lives. (Parents do not know of him due to their blatant homophobia) & I have to practice my religion in secret.

With that said and done, the problem is that my parents put my name on the deed of the house as I will inherit it in the future.

I decided to tell my parents that I have plans to move out and immediately my dad spazzed out. He began to tell me that I am very ungrateful, that he worked hard for me to have a house, that rent is mega expensive & even said if I had a girlfriend who is “poisoning” my mind. He also told me that I am “forbidden” to move out and to take care of the house once he is gone. He also told me that if I move out, I will be disgracing them and that I need to support them until they leave this earth.

I also asked about in regards to my brother and they admitted to me that they will built a duplex in our house for him to move in and that he and I are to remain here. I talked to some family members and they are divided. Some are in agreement for me to move out and others are saying that for not being grateful and that I am a spoiled brat.

With that said and done, people of the internet should I move out?

WOMAN SAYS SHE RAISE HER STANDARDS AFTER EVERY RELATIONSHIP UNTIL TOO MUCH

0

With every relationship I’ve been in, I’ve raised my standards a bit. Now I’m worried I’ve raised them too much…

On one hand, I’m really proud of myself as I look back and see how much I’ve grown to respect myself. But looking forward, I’m not sure if I’ll ever find someone who meets my standards for a partner. And that kind of worries me.

My first boyfriend, in secondary school and JC, was violent. Yelling, putting holes in walls, fly off the handle at any little thing temper. And he did hit me once. Only once, and I left.

Second boyfriend also had a temper, though was less trigger-happy with it. He did yell and throw things occasionally, but he never hit me, so I put up with it. We eventually broke up because he told me,  that I would have to convert to his religiuon if I wanted to get married. Next.

Third boyfriend had no temper at all, but he was an alcoholic. And a far-right, conspiracy theorist. Learned a whole lot about that group of people (gross). He was also a huge slob, never picked up after himself, and would come home from work, drink until he passed out, and repeat the next day. He lied to me a lot too, when he was supposed to be going sober. Noped out of that.

Fourth and last boyfriend was pretty good I thought. Kind, funny, our political beliefs aligned well and he was supper supportive of my spiritual beliefs. He was, however, late all the time. 15 minutes late for our first date, 2 hours late for our 2-year anniversary date, and almost every date and get-together in-between. And was completely and utterly unapologetic about it.

I tried setting up dates so I would pick him up, and every time I arrived at his home he was in the middle of a shower. Eventually, it felt like he was doing this on purpose, and I broke up with him shortly after our 2 year anniversary (he was also mad I didn’t want to have S that night. Like, seriously, maybe if you had been here 2 hours earlier on time, I would have been in the mood then…)

Sometimes I regret breaking up with my 4th boyfriend. Like in the grand scheme of things, was being late really a big deal? I’ve been single for the last year, and honestly, it’s been pretty peaceful. Lonely, but peaceful. I feel safe, all the time, and I don’t have a partner hounding me for S 24/7. (That was an issue with all 4 men I dated, they all had much higher S drives than I do. But I think that’s a me problem. Hopefully when I get my tubes tied next year, and get off hormonal birth control for good, I’ll finally have a half decent libido).

I do eventually want to get back out there and date again, but I’m worried that I won’t be able to find a man who doesn’t have any of the negative traits my exes had. Not to mention, I’m not a very attractive woman, and I have herpes, and I don’t actually know if I’ll develop a libido, so it’s not like I’m a huge catch myself.

But it is what it is I guess, I think being alone will be better than being miserable/uncomfortable forever. Glad I have a really supportive family, some amazing girlfriends/found family, dogs, and smutty books. Not to mention, this community is great.

MERC DRIVER NOT HAPPY HIS CAR BOOT GOT SCRATCHED BY CARPARK CEILING, WANTS MBS TO COMPENSATE

0

A 48-year-old Mercedes owner, Mr Guan, parked his Mercedes GLB 180 at a parking lot in the Marina Bay Sands carpark on 12 November.

He then went to open his car boot and the door then accidentally scraped the ceiling about 2 metres above the vehicle.

Speaking to Shin Min Daily News, Guan said that he had asked MBS for reimbursement via email following the incident.

MBS then replied that they had no legal duty to compensate him for the scratches, saying that they had a height restriction bar displayed at the carpark entrance, with the maximum height being 2 metres.

They added that they had put up a notice about the maximum height limit and that they had complied with the construction management requirements.

However, Guan insisted that the mall should be liable for the damage to his car, saying that it’s “unfair” and that other car owners might also find themselves in a similar situation in the future.

MAN REGRETS WINNING S$4.2M LOTTERY JACKPOT, PEOPLE KEEP ASKING HIM FOR MONEY

0

A man from the Indian state of Kerala, Anoop, won the lottery jackpot of 250 million rupees (SGD$4.21 million) in September, which was the highest amount ever offered in Kerala for the lottery, according to the BBC.

One week later, Anoop posted a video on Facebook begging people to stop asking him for money and to leave him and his family alone.

He said that things had gotten so bad that he couldn’t even bring his son to see a doctor when he got sick without being followed by strangers asking him for money.

Once the news had broken about his astonishing windfall, Anoop said that people would show up at his house every morning.

The India Times also reported that his phone was also flooded with calls from his family and friends.

He said “all I can say is that I haven’t gotten any money yet. No one seems to understand my problem no matter how many times I say it. I have lost all peace of mind and I can’t even stay in my own home as I am facing people calling to ask me to sort out their needs because I won the first prize.”

Anoop and his family are since living at a relative’s home in order to avoid the public, and he expressed his regret at winning the lottery.

He said that he was initially struggling financially and was working as an autorickshaw driver and that he had to break open his son’s piggy bank to buy a plane ticket to Malaysia to get a job as a chef.
