BIDEN APPEALS TO PUTIN – WAR WITH UKRAINE RESULTS IN NEEDLESS DEATHS

0

US president Joe Biden issued a public appeal to the president of Russia, Vladimir Putin, saying that war with Ukraine would result in “needless death and destruction”, warning him of the international outrage that it would cause.

Biden said that by the US’ estimate, there are about 150,000 Russian soldiers stationed around Ukraine and that although he welcomes reports of Russian troops being withdrawn, they are unverified and a Russian invasion still remains a possibility.

Biden added that if Russia does indeed invade Ukraine, the US and its allies will respond by inflicting economic sanctions and isolating Russia globally.

Putin has been demanding for NATO not to accept Ukraine as a member and pout a stop to further expansion eastwards.

Biden highlighted that the US and NATO are not a threat to Russia and that Ukraine is also not threatening Russia, and that neither the US nor NATO have missiles in Ukraine.

H added that the US does not have plans to put them there as well and that they are not targeting the people of Russia or seeking to destabilize Russia.

Biden then spoke directly to the citizens of Russia, saying: “To the citizens of Russia: You are not our enemy, and I don’t believe you want a bloody, destructive war against Ukraine.”

He then warned that the world will not forget that Russia chose needless death and destruction, should the invasion commence anyway.

He also warned that if Russia were to attack Americans in Ukraine, they will “respond forcefully”.

FORT SILOSO @ SENTOSA TO BECOME A NATIONAL MONUMENT OF S’PORE

0

The National Heritage Board (NHB) said in a news release on 15 February that Fort Siloso at Sentosa is not a national monument of Singapore.

It is the 74th national monument of Singapore and was officially gazetted on 15 February, which is also Total Defence Day, the day that Singapore fell to the Japanese in 1942.

Director of the Preservation of Sites and Monuments, Jean Wee, said that the Fort is symbolic of every effort we take as citizens in defending our nation.

Here is a snippet of their statement

In commemoration of its role in the Battle for Singapore which marks its 80th anniversary this year, Fort Siloso was officially gazetted on Total Defence Day (15 February).

The National Heritage Board (NHB) made known its intention to gazette Fort Siloso on 17 January 2022.

The site was accorded immediate protection as a proposed National Monument, following the amendments to the Preservation of Monuments Act in 2021.

NHB then engaged with key heritage stakeholders and also welcomed public feedback on the
proposed monument.

As a gazetted monument, Fort Siloso will continue to serve as a social and community space enjoyed by Singaporeans, as well as a tourist attraction.

During the Battle for Singapore (8 – 15 February 1942), Fort Siloso played a critical role in the nation’s defence as one of the two known busiest batteries on Pulau Blakang Mati.

When Japanese troops were deterred by the seaward fortifications and invaded Singapore by land from north Malaya, Fort Siloso’s guns were turned towards the mainland instead to help support the ground forces defending Singapore from the invasion.

Its guns also destroyed the oil refineries at nearby Pulau Bukom and Pulau Sebarok to prevent the Japanese from using them.

The Fort also served as a Prisoner-of-War camp for Australian and British soldiers during the Japanese Occupation, and later for Japanese soldiers after their surrender.

MAID LETS CHILDREN RUN ONTO MIDDLE OF ROAD DURING A RED LIGHT

0

A video emerged online showing a maid carelessly letting a couple of children under her care running off on their own.

The incident was captured on the dashcam of a car that had to brake after one of the children ran onto the middle of the road.

One of the kids then ran onto the middle of the road while the red light was still on, forcing the camcar driver to brake his vehicle to avoid a collision.

The panic-stricken maid then chased after the boy across the road and thankfully no one was hurt in this incident.

The incident happened on 15 February at a traffic stop along Edgedale Plains, at about 6.17pm.

Netizens’ comments

  • Next time remember to horn them to prevent further crossing, as motorist on the opposite side may not be as careful.
  • The little girl expressed her thanks by waving apologetically at the cars while crossing. A sweet gesture learned from school, I supposed.
  • I wish the child’s parents would be able to watch this video

GUY BROUGHT GF TO RESTAURANT, GF CALLS HIM A “MISER” & DUMPS HIM

0

A guy shared how he was dumped by his girlfriend and has been crying, she called him a miser despite him bringing her out to a restaurant for dinner.

Here is the story

While people are out there celebrating Valentine’s Day with their other half, here I am crying in my own room.

I recall that a week ago, she called for a breakup. I could remember that look on her face, full of disappointment. The fact is that there is something I have not done very well in her eyes.

We first met in the year 2018. Whenever we went dating, she would treat me to good food and present. Basically she will shower me with the love that I never had before. I dont even have to give her any presents, contrary to what other guys had to do.

However, she started to change in the year 2020 (After Circuit Breaker). She has become less easy going, very different from the nice girl I knew. I remember that  when I proposed to have dinner with her at a coffee shop instead of those atas restaurant, she will show me the disappointed look and after the dinner, not even a word of ‘thank you’ from her.

At other times (Once or twice per month), she will be swiping my credit card to buy those Gucci, Prada whatever la handbags. This was done without my permission.

Also, there was once where I wanted to treat her to an exquisite birthday dinner at my house. I made my own version of Italian pasta (Using noodles that were about to expire but hey, wastage is bad right??) Buying those real Italian pasta is not cheap anyway.

For the exotic wine, I used the one which my friend gifted me a year ago. For the French toast, I used the Gardenia loaves. The idea is to be creative and isnt that what girls like?

When she turned up for that dinner, she was extremely livid. She told me that she was very disappointed with the dinner and it was so fake as it didnt even give her the out of the world experience. I told her that having a meal at the restaurant is not cheap but she called me a miser.

Through all these incidents, she told me that she had it enough and that I cant bear to part with my money. She didnt use to be like this. I am saving up because money is not easily earned and I am planning for our future. That being said, the relationship ended.

Tonight I am crying in my room, not because of sadness. They are tears of joy. In fact I am not alone. I had the companionship of my seemingly endless hundred-dollar notes stacked vertically. I was busy counting and kissing my notes from 7pm to 1159pm and I was never this happy before! The thought of the potential savings from getting rid of this white elephant simply puts a smile on my face.

To all the fella guys out there, YOU are in control of YOUR finances! Not your gal!

GUY OVERSLEPT & LATE FOR DATE, GF HAS TO WAIT FOR HIM TO WAKE UP

0

A girl shared how her boyfriend is always sleeping and ends up late for their dates and etc.

Here is the story

Hi seeking some advice here!  Sometimes I cannot tolerate my bf. We have been together for 1 year plus and he is a working adult, 27 years old, and I have noticed some habits of his that made me rethink our relationship

He likes to stay up late till 1-2 am especially during weekends. Sometimes to meet friends and then play cards, game, or watch basketball matches. He does it even if he has work the next day, then he will end up telling me he is feeling very tired, or he would wake up late and then rush to work with a cab.

Other days if he has no work, he would then sleep in until 1 or 2 pm and then wake up. I really don’t understand why he does this. I find it so unhealthy to sleep at such a timing, and I question his time management.

You know you have to wake up early the next morning, then why not have some self discipline to sleep early and play other times? At least you will feel less tired, able to wake up on time so you don’t need to cab to work. 

Also, sleeping in the next day makes half the day gone and then you cannot complete what you want to do for the day, which becomes a vicious cycle where you have to stay up late again to complete the tasks and the cycle repeats.

There were also occasions where he woke up late on the day of our date, where we had already arranged a time the day before to meet to go for a meal, but when I reached his house, he was still sleeping because he slept late the day before.

Then I was just stupidly waiting for him to wake up, which I felt was a waste of my time.

I do understand he has his own life and things he want to do as well, but I don’t really know how to bring up to him that sometimes his sleeping habits is affecting our plans together, and I am fearful that what if this happens when we stay together next time?

If he is going to still be sleeping when I am awake and ready for the day’s acitivties, then I guess I would be doing stuff alone in the day while he is still asleep. 

Anyone has similar experiences and care to share some tips? Thank you!

KAYPOH CASHIER ASK GIRL WHY SHE PAYING FOR DINNER & NOT BOYFRIEND

0

A netizen shared how she was on a dinner date with her boyfriend and making payment when the cashier asked her why she was the one paying and not her boyfriend.

Here is the story

So you know? It’s Valentines Day period. As I was paying for dinner, the cashier start questioning me that really stun me. “You paying? Not your boyfriend ah? Today is Valentine’s Day shouldn’t it be the guy do the payment?”

I told her there’s no such rule or policy that die die must the guy pay for the meal what. I mean, my boyfriend on the usual days he’s the one paying for every meals that we had together so why can’t I do something special during this occasion?

Then she carry on with her nonsense, “Then? No flowers? Where your flower? Ehhh..this kind of guy not good la!”

I was really disturbed by her KPOness. And I just shut her off by saying “Aunty! You don’t talk about my boyfriend, can you please just shut your mouth? And just settle my payment!”

Lucky my boyfriend was waiting outside the restaurant, if not he might be upset hearing what the cashier say.

BRIDE WANTS SIZE 14 DRESS DESPITE HER SIZE IS SIZE 30

0

I work as a bridal sales associate. The other day I’m assigned my bride, I do the normal introduction of myself, I ask the bride if she’s tried on any dress before. She says yes, I ask if she has any photos, she seems annoyed and says no.

I ask her what size the dresses she was trying on were and how they fit, she tells me a 30 and that they fit well. I kindly explain to her that we don’t carry many size 30 dresses in the store (we have probably 150 dresses and only 3 are a size 30).

But that we can try 26/28s and if she finds “the dress” she can order it in a 30 as we have that size available online. I start pulling the size 30s we have to show her, she hates all of them, tells me “how about I just pull dresses myself since you can’t seem to do it”. I tell her that’s fine I’ll start her a dressing room. I ask another coworker to try and assist her since she definitely wasn’t wanting to work with me.

She was just as rude to my coworker, so I go back over to her + her family/friends. She pulls out a size 14 dress (a dress I know we only have that one off in the store) I tell her that and she still insisted to try it on, I’m walking on eggshells here so I tell her, in a sympathetic tone “well as this is a size 14 so I’d recommend we don’t try this on, we won’t wanna try and be squeezing you into it” since I felt like if I said honestly “this dress is many sizes smaller then the dress size you’ve told me fits you” she would get even more aggressive towards me.

She just puts the dress back and walks away from me so I give up and ask my sales manager if they can try and assist her. She does and she is suddenly all nice and polite to my manager and ends up finding a dress. I continue my shift till my sales manager calls me over and tells me this customer said I “brought up her weight and made her feel insecure about her size” ???

I nod my head and listen to my manager and tell her I appreciate the feedback and I’ll make sure not to mention that again but I didn’t think I DID TO BEGIN WITH?

Was there a way I should’ve handled the situation differently? I specifically tried to not say directly “you’re to big for this dress”? This really pissed me off,I can admit my faults/mistakes, I just honestly don’t see what I did wrong here?

As well as the fact that this woman tried to get me in major trouble with my manager and affect my job because she didn’t like the wording I chose to explain to her something glaringly obvious (her being 8 sizes larger than the dress she was asking to try on).

This kind of customers are a waste of space and wasting more oxygen on earth.

MOTHER KEEPS LOSING HER TEMPER OVER SMALL THINGS, FAMILY FEELING LOST

0

A netizen shared how her mother has been overreacting and blowing up over the most trivial of things and that their family has no idea what is making her so upset all the timie.

Here is the story

My mum has always had a quick temper since young, yet it has very much worsened over the last few years as she entered her 60s.

Nowadays, she yells at me and my dad every single day. Even for trivial matters like us occasionally forgetting to close the door, or us taking slightly longer to find things that she asks for, she will make a big deal out of it and make loud, hurtful remarks such as “Father and daughter both equally dumb”, “One day if I die, both of you won’t survive, only I know how to run the household here”, “It’s so tiring taking care of your father and you, I just want to check in to old folks home and rest.”

It happens every single day, although my dad and I have been trying whatever we can to improve her mood e.g. buy her presents, bring her out to eat good food. We also try our best to help her with housework. But nothing seems to work.

Generally, it is very hard to communicate with her, because everything we say to her, she will respond passive-aggressively or nitpick about our choice of words. So, nowadays we just keep quiet most of the time to avoid triggering her.

Even during meals and when we are outside, she speaks to us in an angry tone almost all the time. We really have no idea what is stressing her or making her so upset, it feels like she is just not pleased with my dad and my presence in her life.

Could my mum be having some mental health issues? If so, how can I effectively persuade her to get it treated (see a counsellor etc.)?

Or is this a common thing for older ladies her age and I just have to bear with it? My dad and I are really stressed having to face her on daily basis, especially now I am home all the time since I still 100% WFH now and I just broke up with my bf recently.
