SIA FLIGHT SEEN SWERVING WHILE LANDING DURING A STORM IN LONDON

A video emerged online showing a few airplanes swerving while landing on the runway at London’s Heathrow Airport during Storm Eunice.

The video was taken by a British man, Jerry Dyer, as he narrated the entire event and shouted encouragement at the planes to land safely.

A Singapore Airlines flight, SQ306, was also captured in the video with the Boeing 777’s tail swinging out during the landing.

The plane had aborted an earlier attempt to land because the storm had made the conditions rather unsafe for landing, although it isn’t confirmed.

The SIA flight eventually made it, although the same can’t be said for several other planes, who had to divert after failing to land despite repeated attempts.

Dyer spoke to BBC Radio 2 and said:

“Oh my god, I gotta be honest with you man, when you’re sitting on an aeroplane and it’s got that amount of sway, it’s just, just nuts man. Absolutely nuts.”

“It’s like you’re in a washing machine.”

MAN SLEEPS IN THE JUNGLE FOR 5 DAYS TO EXPERIENCE BEING HOMELESS

MAN SLEEPS IN THE JUNGLE FOR 5 DAYS TO EXPERIENCE BEING HOMELESS

Local activist Gilbert Goh shared how she slept in the jungle during his annual 5-night homeless experience and described being kept awake by traffic noises and mosquitoes.

Here is the story

Jungle homes of our rough sleepers – please pray for them especially during the rainy season when it’s cold and wet with plenty of mozzies around.

Most shelter homes are built with cardboard and one or two stood out as quite elaborate and even artistic with proper roofing and partition.

I spent one night there during my second annual 5-night homeless experience last year and the noise of the traffic outside plus the mozzies have kept me very much awake the whole time!

Can’t really imagine how our rough sleepers can be there for months and some even years…

There are also clothes line dotting the jungle homes – oblivious to the outside world because of its obscurity and privacy.

With the impending GST increase soon, more people may be thrown out of their homes as they struggle with mortgage repayment and other livelihood issues.

Do something good for Singapore – a charity movement to alleviate the hardships of displaced elderly Singaporeans.

MAN SAW A DARK FIGURE ONE NIGHT AT 3AM, ONE WEEK LATER GRANDPA DIED

A netizen shared how he was “warned” about his grandfather’s impending death when he was a kid.

Here is the story

When I was 11, I live with two sisters and my grandpa. My mother just gave us zero fucks and kinda moved elsewhere with her ex.

It was around 3a.m., and I got up to get some water. Just for picture, one of my living room walls was almost completely taken by the window, which let some street lights to get in.

When I was going back to my room, I went through the living room and saw someone very tall and very thin, as my grandpa, standing in front of the window.

The thing is: it had no features. It was like a silhouette cut from the background, just black. I ran to my room in panic.

A week later, when I got up in the morning, I found my grandpa laying on the bathroom floor. He had a stroke.

The doctors said he had it around 3a.m. Exactly a week after I saw the shadow. My grandpa never woke up. He died about two weeks later.

Just for additional facts, maybe just coincidences: it was August 17, 2003. It was my sister’s birthday. And exact nine years later I had my son.

Netizens’ comments

  • That’s both creepy and sad at the same time. I’m sorry for you and your family for losing someone like that. The date thing is really spooky though
  • Sounds like you saw his spirit! Or something like it since time doesn’t really exist after you cross over, at least not how the human mind comprehends time. I really believe that important dates in families are so significant that is so interesting that your son was born on that same exact day out of 365 others. My grandmother died on my first birthday.

JAPAN TO REOPEN TO INTERNATIONAL TRAVELLERS FROM MARCH

According to an article by Executive Traveller, Japan is taking baby steps to reopening its borders to International travellers from 1 March 2020.

This would see the quarantine period be reduced from the current seven days to three days.

Apart from this change, many international travellers would also be allowed to bypass the whole quarantine period,

Health requirements for entry into Japan

Foreign internationals such as students or businessmen who visit Japan for any reasons other than tourism will be permitted entry to the country as long as they have received a third jab or a booster dose and they are also required to show a negative ART result within 72 hours from the time of their departure.

Those who meet these criteria will most likely be able to bypass the whole three days of quarantine period.

However, they must come from a country whereby the pandemic situation is under control.

First step into reopening borders

Japanese Prime Minister, Fumio Kishida, who was addressing a press conference said that this would be only the ‘first step’ which Japan is taking into reopening borders and he would be considering if more measures towards the reopening of borders can be loosen.

SPF ADVISES SYLVIA LIM TO MAKE REPORT ON ALLEGED HACKING OF PHONE

Minister K Shanmugam has asked the Singapore Police Force (SPF) to check on Sylvia Lim, Member of Parliament (MP) of Aljunied GRC on her claims that her phone was allegedly hacked by attackers sponsored by the state.

SPF had advised Ms Lim to file the report as this concerns a national security threat and the allegations claimed by Ms Lim were on a ‘serious’ level.

The SPF also said that if Ms Lim does not want to make a report, she can also pass her phone over for the forensics team in SPF to examine.

Claimed that Apple sent her a threat warning

Ms Lim had earlier claimed that Apple had sent her a warning of a potential threat on her phone and had asked her to confirm if her phone was not hacked by state agencies in Singapore.

She further claims that Apple had asked for her confirmation as they state that it was probably because of who she is in Singapore and what she does.

Mr Shanmugam had responded to her allegations saying that state agencies had nothing to do with the hacking of her phone.

Police asked to engage commercial organisation for investigations

SPF also noted that Minister Shanmugam had asked them to engage an external commercial organisation who are experts in the field to do the examination instead.

SPF was also asked to ensure that the process of the examination from the time the phone is handed over from Ms Lim to the time it is returned to her be kept transparent, secure and auditable.

WOMAN CHEATED BUT CALLS HER EX-HUSBAND IMMATURE AFTER DIVORCE

I would like to ask, for people who went through divorce, how did you stay strong with the courage to move forward?

I’m tired of my husband constantly accusing me of cheating and bringing up the past incidents.

I have mentioned to him that our love language is different and I keep asking him to try, but his response is, aiya we together so long already, any couple old already also same like us one.

I still love him, but more of a friend than a lover. I care for him. However he can’t handle divorce maturely, he blocked me on everywhere possible and we have a kid together.

Sometimes I want to convey information to him is also frustrating. It’s like it’s the wrong love and we are not getting any younger.

I don’t want to be treated like this for the rest of my life. Yet a part of me is sad to let a marriage go. It’s like I look at him and I know that this marriage just won’t work out.

He treats me nicer as a friend. I feel that as a friend I am first class citizen but as a lover I dropped to third class citizen.

People who went through divorce, please share how you’re able to pull through it?

Netizens’ comments

  • You still love him but more of a friend than a lover, you cheated before, you have a child? Divorced but you can’t move on? What the f you talking about?
  • If u wronged someone, don’t expect to be treated right

WIFE WANTS TO DO BETTER THAN STEPSIS IN EVERYTHING: MONEY, KIDS ETC

WIFE WANTS TO DO BETTER THAN STEPSIS IN EVERYTHING: MONEY, KIDS ETC

A netizen shared how his wife has an extreme rivalry with her step sister and wants to do better than her in everything.

Here is the story

I know there are a lot trolls here, but there are a couple of legit pieces of advice as well. So here goes, this is my rant. I’m male, engaged, working a decent paying job, renting a decent condo with my fiancé. Nothing too fancy, but we have enough. The problem is my fiancé has some deep insecurity issues whenever she’s compared to her step-sis. Her dad remarried and she’s brought up by her step-mom, who instills a damn fierce sense of rivalry with her step-sis.

How did this become my problem? Cuz when the topic comes up, she will start comparing everything in our lives to her sis. Don’t get me wrong, I love her very much EXCEPT this part of hers. We gel well and everything is fine, but one hint of her sis will make everything blow up. She’s normally a strong career woman, who is economical and logical. But once her sis comes into a picture, suddenly she transforms into this materialistic monster.

Example: when we went for fam visit this CNY, I shivered when my sis-in-law arrived. This normally mild-mannered woman will suddenly compete with her step-sis about LV bags, jewelry, engagement ring, me to the sister-in-law’s husband. Then the bombshell reveal, my sis-in-law is pregnant. One look at my fiancé’s face, and I thought “oh no…”

Sure enough, when we went home, it became a huge argument. Why they can have kid already? Why her husband is a CEO’s son? Why are they living in luxury? Why her husband is earning close to 10k upon graduation?

Well sorry not everyone is born with a silver spoon in their mouth, some of us have to work from the bottom. We have enough and actually should be grateful that we’re pretty well off. If she wants to start trying for a kid, that can be arranged, I’m already saving up anyways. Plus it’s HER that says she’s not ready to have a kid yet cuz she wants to pursue her career first!! I’ve told her plenty of times if she’s that unhappy with me, she’s welcome to break it off, then she’s free to find a CEO’s son to leech off.

But it’s always the same story, the next day after a big argument, she would apologise and say that she’s actually very happy with me and loves me very much. Then she would return back to being normal and sensible. I’ve begged her time and again to go see a professional psychiatrist, cuz what her step-mom did to her definitely messed up her brain. And she does know she has this personality switch too. But she refuses cuz she’s too proud and doesn’t want to let her step-sis and mom found out it affected her this much…

I told her to stop following her step-sis on social media already, cuz that will make her more jealous. No, don’t want, want to have a fight on how I can’t compare up to the CEO’s son every time her step-sis post some new gift she got from the husband… haiz… Again, I love her when she’s in her normal mode, but I am toying with the idea of breaking it off cuz I don’t want to deal with this the rest of my life… sounds a bit selfish.. but is it? Am I selfish to be tired of constantly compared too? Or to not want to always burst out into a huge fight every time my sis-in-law got a new branded bag?

I tell my fiancé already, why does she have to compare herself to an obvious gold-digger? She would say s**t like “a woman’s success should not be measured by her man’s wealth”, but then complain why her step-sis husband is CEO’s son and I’m not? I’m all for women-empowerment but wtf???

Haiz… any legit advice? Other than talking with her? Cuz I did, we are actually a couple who communicates well when she’s not in her crazy mode.

GIRL FOUND OUT HER COUSIN IS INTERESTED IN HER BEST FRIEND’S HUSBAND

A netizen shared how she found out that her cousin is interested in her best friend’s husband.

Here is the story

I’ve been living at my cousin’s place since covid. All along we’ve been quite close. We also work for the same company.

Recently she told me she’s interested in a colleague and have been text flirting him regularly. I didn’t think much of it until I found out the guy she likes is actually my best friend’s husband.

Since I found out about this I’ve been pretty stressed out. I want to tell my best friend that someone is going after her husband.

But if I tell my BFF, my cousin may kick me out of her place. If I keep quiet and if anything happens between my cousin and my bff’s husband, my BFF may think I support my cousin’s actions and break up the friendship.

I’ve known my BFF for more than 20 years. We were sec schoolmates. I really treasure our friendship. I don’t know why is my cousin so messed up right now.

What should I do?

Netizens’ comments

If you fear that even talking about this will jeopardize your relationship with your cousin, then try the i-heard-of-this-person-in-another-dept tactic. Give a similar scenario of 3rd party ruining everything and watch her response.

Just tell ur cousin the guy is someone elses husband. Not sure if she knows that n have a reason to throw u out. If she knows n still wants to have a go then i think u better find a place before kena kick.

MAN LOVES WORKING A “LOW LEVEL” JOB, HAS NO AMBITIONS IN LIFE

MAN LOVES WORKING A “LOW LEVEL” JOB, HAS NO AMBITIONS IN LIFE

A netizen shared how he loves working in a “low level” job and is perfectly satisfied and happy with his stress free life.

Here is the story

Honestly I don’t have a big ambition in life, I work in a warehouse and I think I’m happy doing just that, I really enjoy my job,

i used to work in an office, a pretty big insurance company and almost had a nervous breakdown, I’ve been a manager and even worked in the office of my current company but stress and anxiety got too much,

now I work in the warehouse just doing small things like moving freight by hand, debriefing drivers and scanning goods in and I love it, it pays a lot more than minimum wage due to the risk factor (heavy freight other postal companies won’t take)

but the thing is, firstly I’m an only child and always felt a massive pressure to impress my parents as their only off spring and almost all of my cousins have gone university to get degrees and “impressive jobs”

I tried University but couldn’t be bothered with it, I’m happy just doing this but at the back of my mind there is a pressure to do something “more” even though I’m happy where I am, no stress, no anxiety, good pay and Monday to Friday

Netizens’ comments

  • I quit a high expectation type of job and started working at a donut shop. I make my money , its the same day every day & keeps my stress low. No money is worth my incoming gray hairs.
  • Welcome to the club buddy, bus driver here, excellent job, finish work for the day and that’s it, never have to worry about clients or deadlines or any of the other bullshit, don’t give a shit that it’s not the best paying job or that my career path is non-existent , I’m not far from retirement anyway
