JOSS PAPERS SEEN SWIRLING EERILY IN VORTEX OUTSIDE TEXTILE CENTRE

A video emerged online showing a man burning bunch of joss papers which were swirling eerily in a vortex outside Textile Centre.

The video was purportedly taken yesterday (29 July), during the first day of the hungry ghost month, and was shared onto TikTok by user @lemonsg69.

The video appeared to have been taken at the open area behind the Textile Centre at Bugis.

A group of people were seen in the video surrounding a joss paper burning bin as they burned offerings for the hungry ghosts.

Strong gusts of wind then started roaring through and sent the joss papers into the air, as they then swirled in a mini tornado-like vortex.

A man was standing in the middle of the vortex as he tried to resist the strong winds and tightly holding onto the paper offerings.

FAMILY IN COVID-QUARANTINE @ HOME, RUNS OUT OF FOOD AFTER 2 DAYS

0

Covid is really contagious now. After my sister contracted Covid from her workplace, our whole family kenna even she have done everything to self quarantine.

Now we all have Covid and cannot got out for 3 days, our only option is to call for GrabFood delivery.

Sigh. But my father damn niao so he nags everytime we ordered Grab. Honestly, what else can we do? We have some ‘keep stock’ but since 4 of us eating, within 2 days, finished already. We’re not suppose to go out. It’s damn inconsiderate too if we go out. Plus, you won’t want to go out because it’s damn uncomfortable. We all have sore and muscle aches. My mother’s temperature reach 38.4. my head is always heavy else light… Just don’t feel right.

On the 4th day, my sister took ART and still positive (expected because she is still coughing and having sore throat) so she cannot go out still. (Her 4th day is our 3rd day so still no one can go out).

We have to plan who take ART test also because we only have 3 kits left and the ones I ordered online haven’t arrived.

THAI WOMAN OWE MONEY NEVER PAY, KENA HANTAM IN THE FACE WITH A DURIAN

0

A woman in Thailand who owes people money, was smacked on the face with a durian by a debt collector on 27 July after failing to pay her debts, according to The Thaiger, a Thai news website.

She then reported the attack to the Mueng Lamphun Police Station.

According to The Thaiger, the woman had borrowed about 20,000 baht (or SGD$760) from a moneylender last year, along with another friend.

However due to the pandemic and her business not doing well, she missed some of the scheduled payments and the loanshark then solder her arrears to debt collectors.

The debt collectors then threatened her and her friend and raided their homes.

The debt collector then told them to increase their loan and interest to clear the old debt, and the two women then accepted it out of fear.

Their debt then soon went up to 700,000 baht (or SGD$26,602) and they had to pay $760 every day until they finish paying the agreed sum.

The woman’s friend then went into hiding, leaving her to deal with the harassment and attacks on her own.

She then went to a government office for help, and the debt collector then agreed to stop the repayment temporarily.

However, he then went to her house to ask for money and it came to a head on 17 July, as the woman was parking her motorcycle at Chang Ron Temple in the Lamphun province and talking on the phone.

A female debt collector then confronted her and smacked her in the face with a durain, before fleeing the scene, leaving the victim with a bloodied face.

GIRL REFUSES TO WORK, WANTS THE “TAITAI” LIFE, LEECHING OFF BF’S MONEY

0

My girlfriend doesn’t want to work, and she hasn’t worked throughout our relationship. She wants the taitai life because her father is rich and her mother got to be a housewife. So I have been supporting both of us with my pay alone, which is not much, and I don’t get to save even though I have been working for years. We are living paycheck to paycheck, which was okay for me last time but now that we are talking about long-term, I’m not sure if I can live like this forever.

I get stressed about our BTO thinking about the money I need to fork out, but she will just tell me to find another job that has higher pay and she even told me to borrow from my family. Her family doesn’t want to lend us the money for our house, because my girlfriend has never contributed to the family business. She has been pressuring me to get money from my family whenever I bring up about financial issues, but my family is just a low to medium income family. I have tried borrowing and even forced money from my family members and it has caused a lot of arguments.

We have been living together and she doesn’t do housework either, my parents are the ones doing all the housework while she just does nothing at home and watch her dramas. She doesn’t even offer to buy meals for my parents when they are at home.

She insists that I propose with a diamond ring which will take months for me to save up for, otherwise she says it will make her look bad and she will not marry me, which is why I’m in a dilemma now. I feel that she doesn’t care about my financial pressures and she’s willing to make me suffer for what she wants.

In case you are wondering..she’s not very attractive either. We are both considered unattractive, which is why I hesitate to break up because I know I can’t find someone else. I’ve been wanting to lose weight but she insists I stay fat so I won’t attract other girls, but I am concerned about my health as well.

What should I do?

KIND MAN HELPS ELDERLY MAN UNLOAD CARDBOARD BECAUSE IT’S GONNA RAIN SOON

A video emerged online showing a kind-hearted samaritan helping an elderly cardboard collector with his cardboard on the road.

The netizen, @snezams, shared the video onto TikTok, showing him stopping his car at the side of the road at a bus stop along Paya Lebar Road.

He then went to the elderly man and asked if he could help him as it was going to rain soon.

He captioned his video:

“I am grateful today. I was given a chance to do something I always wanted. And today is the day. I told him. It’s gonna rain. Please let me help you. I would be really honoured.”

“I’m so happy that he agreed. Here comes another kind human helping me too.

This video is not a purpose to show everyone my act of kindness, but a message to everyone. That you won’t know the person you help might be at the lowest point of his/her life where they got no one to turn to.”

“So please at least give that someone a helping hand if they ask from you. Because you never know if tomorrow you are still able to help them again.”

GUY ASKS HOW TO BE LESS BLUR AT WORK, SAYS HE IS BECOMING LIKE MR BEAN

0

How to be less blur at work? I been working in a lab and have been becoming famous for the wrong reasons, to always make ridiculously silly mistakes and becoming a laughing stock like Mr Bean. Except that unlike the show.. my mistakes were genuinely unintended. Fortunately all were  minor so far..

Things such as weighing out my sample into one tube for reaction, but blur blur used my original tube instead and wondering why the reaction was not working..

Drenched myself with the safety shower while inspecting it as I pulled it the wrong way to turn it off..

Face crashed into the door as I forgot it was after 6 pm lock out time..

Left the logbook on the fire hose reel outside and spent half hour looking for it in the lab..

Couldn’t find my transponder until I realise it was in my lab coat pocket..

Getting myself locked out of the lab because I blur blur left the key inside..

1ST DAY OF HUNGRY GHOST MONTH, TEMPERATURES IN S’PORE DROPPED TO 22.7°C

0

The temperatures across Singapore on the first day of the Hungry Ghost Month yesterday (29 July), plunged to 22.7°C.

Temperatures at Admiralty at about 7.30pm were about 22.7°C, and areas such as Ang Mo Kio saw slightly higher but still cooling temperatures of 24.3°C.

There were also heavy rain and strong winds across most parts of Singapore, which helped the plunging of the temperatures across the island.

Temperatures at Sembawang also dipped to 23.8°C, with more than 40mm of rain.

Yesterday (29 July) was the first day of the seventh lunar month, (or Hungry Ghost Month), where it is believed that the gates of hell are opened and spirits roam the earth for food and offerings.

Devotees prepare food offerings and burn incense candles and joss paper on the 1st, 15th and last day of the month-long festival.

The first day of the festival was yesterday, followed by the 15th day of the lunar month (12 August) and the last day of the festival on 26 August.

MAN FED UP BECAUSE WIFE KEEPS FARTING IN BED, SMELLY UNTIL CAN’T SLEEP

0

So my wife always gets bad gas before bed and while we’re laying in bed before going to sleep she will literally not stop farting. Every couple minutes or so she’ll keep letting one rip loudly. Yes I am aware women fart and it’s normal but it’s constant! For hours! While I’m trying to sleep! They smell so rank too it’s like something died in her butt.

I’ve tried gently suggesting she take medication for her gas but she doesn’t really seem to think of it as a problem. If I ask her to stop she says, “You know I can’t help it BBBBBRRRRRTTTTTTTT!”

It’s so hard to fall asleep with her constant smelly farts for hours. She even farts in her sleep too! I don’t know what to do or how to get her to stop or take this seriously.

Update as requested: We talked more about it. She got very upset with me because I was “body shaming her” which I’m not.

I told her I get it. Women fart but she couldn’t even make it through us arguing WITHOUT FARTING FOR GODS SAKE.

I told her to quit eating milk and cheese because she’s lactose intolerant and she knows this. She told me I can’t control what she eats so I said, fine take lactaid.

She claimed she does. I called her on her bullcrap and we argued more and it ended with her angrily sipping from a carton of milk to punish me later and me telling her we’re going VEGAN in this house! As I microwaved a large can of baked beans to defend myself from the incoming FARTNADO.

I know it’s more expensive to go vegan but I don’t care! No more milk, cheese, eggs or coffee creamer which is apparently 90% of my DISGUSTING BRAP HOG OF A WIFE’S diet. I’m gonna try to slip lactaid in her food and drink from now on.

WILL SMITH APOLOGISES TO CHRIS ROCK & HIS MOTHER IN NEW VIDEO

Actor Will Smith has just released a new video on his YouTube channel after disappearing from the public eye for months since the infamous slap incident during the Oscar’s earlier this year.

In his video, he addressed some of the questions that he has received from fans, as well as apologising to comedian Chris Rock and his family.

On why he didn’t apologize to Chris during his acceptance speech, Smith said that he was “fogged out by that point” and that “it’s all fuzzy”.

He revealed that he has since reached out to Chris but the latter was not ready to talk to him.

Smith then apologised, saying: “So I will say to you Chris, I apologize to you. My behaviour was unacceptable and I’m here whenever you’re ready to talk.”

Smith also apologised to Chris Rock’s mother, saying: “I saw an interview that Chris’ mother did, and you know, that was one of the things about that moment I just didn’t realize, and you know I wasn’t thinking, but how many people got hurt in that moment.”

“So I want to apologise to Chris’ mother. I want to apologise to Chris’ family, specifically Tony Rock (Chris Rock’s brother), you know we had a great relationship. Tony Rock was my man, and this is probably irreparable.”
