An entire high rise building was seen on fire, burning from the ground level all the way to the top of the building.
Thick black smoke could be seen billowing out of the raging inferno and rising all the way up to the skies.
The incident happened in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.
It is unclear how the fire started, but it is quite disturbing to see an entire building catching on fire.

A Singaporean man believed that love is giving everything he has. He said that he was playing an online game and fall in love with an Indonesian girl and said that he is truly in love and he will eventually marry her.
I have a 27-year-old friend that is quite dumb and I have tried everything to help him. I am out of ideas and therefore posting my story here hoping that someone can offer some advice.
He met the girl online playing some mobile game and eventually they started chatting more and more and they met once in Batam. After meeting once he told me that the girl was willing to be his girlfriend, he told me that she would not even let him hold his hand. Before leaving Batam, he gave all the cash he had on him including both Rupiah and Singapore dollars.
They continued to chat on a daily basis and the girl started to demand more, She instructed my friend to transfer 90% of his monthly salary to her as she claims that she will help “save up” for their wedding in the future.
He agreed and transfer the money monthly to her and on some occasions when the girl needed more money he will tap into his savings to “help” her.
He eventually wipe out his savings and told my other friends and I that he could not afford to eat a simple dinner with us at a coffeeshop. He then told us the story about the girl. Till today he has only met her twice and they did not even hold hands and of course nothing more.
Everyone tried to stop him but he claims that the girl was in love with him and he believes her. Even his parents cant stop his foolishness. Some of my friends even suggested that he kana gong tao (black magic).
A story was shared online about a man who is in trouble over money and love. However, instead of getting any advice, he was bombarded with insults.
Here is the story:
I am a nus alumni who graduated 10 years ago. I am earning $20k per month now in some MNC and moonlighting with some side business. Therefore, I managed to own a condominium and have close to 1 million in savings. Due to my needs, I recently hired a sugar baby who is currently studying at NUS. She is pretty and sexy, but she is very seductive to an extend that she can make me lose control of myself in decision making. She made me transferred the ownership of the condominium worth 1.5mil to her and also almost all my savings to her as well. I was stupid enough to comply with her.
Furthermore, every month I continued to give her 10k allowances. I started to regret as i am left with almost nothing now. But i am really addicted to her and cant stop myself from giving everything to her.
I am also scared if i stop giving her 10k per month, she will kick me out of the condo which is under her name now.
Can anyone advice me?? How should i seek help to stop my h**nyness and addiction against her?

A woman who married twice weighs in her opinion on how man changed after getting married. The woman stated that her ex-husband had an unstable career and was not interested in advancing his career and finally ended up in divorce.
The man in the next marriage eventually became the same.
Hopefully, my story can allow you to reflect and understand the situation better. I have two children from a prior marriage.
My ex-husband was a man child while we stayed with his parents. I’m the one who cares about striving to earn a higher income and taking care of children needs while he quitted his job and became in and out of job over the years.
He was not interested in trying to earn more money, more importantly not interested in self-improvement of any kind and taking care of the children unless being peristently asked to. When we divorced, one child followed my ex-husband while the other child followed me.
A few years later, I met someone attractive (in a personality way): he likes to exercise, is family-oriented and has a stable job. He accepted me, my child and my past, and we got married. After marriage, he changed gradually even as we have our third child: not interested in exercising and maintaining his weight (especially shortly after our wedding ceremony), less interested in interacting with our children and have little interest to ask for higher pay in his job or switch jobs to achieve higher pay.
These changes are minimal (except his disinterest to maintain his weight haha), as he still takes care of our children but this is a fraction of the time he spends on the screen. Regarding finance, we had a joint account (I still have a separate personal account but he doesn’t) and he said I can invest the money in joint account if I want to, otherwise we will leave in bank account. Besides occasional squabbles, I have not regretted being with him.
Now back to my ex-husband. Since the divorce, he has not quit his job and he becomes interested in personal finance and how to grow his money. He cares a lot now more about taking care of our tween child compared to the past which he left his parents or me to take care of. I’m happy to see that he has matured and my child is in better hands.
According to the media release, Civil servants in Singapore will receive a 0.3 months mid-year bonus.
The public service division posted a media release stating how the economy was affected by the pandemic.
“The Singapore economy is expected to recover this year in tandem with the global economy and progress in our domestic vaccination programme.
However, significant downside risks remain, including uncertainty over the trajectory of the COVID-19 pandemic. Against this context, the Government, in close consultation with the public sector unions, will pay all civil servants a mid-year bonus of 0.3 months.
Civil servants in grades equivalent to MX13(I) and MX14 will receive an additional one-time payment of $350, while those in grades equivalent to MX15 and MX16, and the Operations Support Scheme (OSS) Grades III to V, will receive a higher one-time payment of $700.”

A woman shared that she was in a Friends With Benefits relationship with a guy she met online, and that their arrangement was only for s*x.
She then confessed her feelings to him one day but the guy rejected her and told her that he’d stop meeting her anymore.
The woman was devastated.
The guy soon got married about a year later, but he still messaged her, telling her that married life is “not as fun as making out with you”.
He then told her: “If you wanna meet up, we still can.”
The woman then blocked him because she’s still “hurt” by him choosing to get married not long after he told her that he didn’t want a relationship with her.
She said that she still goes to his Facebook and Whatsapp to look at pictures of him and his wife.
She added that she wanted to screenshot their conversations and sent it to his wife, who is “blissfully unaware of his behaviour and keeps putting up lovey-dovey pictures of them.”

Connie Soh, 46-years-old, pleaded guilty to one count of voluntarily causing hurt.
She reportedly slapped an 8-year-old girl in the face for accidentally stepping on her foot, and was fined $5,000 for her troubles earlier today (18 June).
On 15 July 2020, at about 1.47pm, the 8-year-old girl was boarding the MRT at Choa Chu Kang station when she accidentally stepped on Soh’s left foot.
The girl apologised to Soh, but Soh was talking on her phone at the time and didn’t hear the girl.
Soh then confronted the girl’s mother, who told her that her daughter did apologised; an argument soon ensued.
When the mother and daughter arrived at their train stop and wanted to alight at Yew Tee station, Soh slapped the girl in the face to stop her from leaving.
The girl then started crying and her mother called the police.
The girl was then conveyed to NUH by her mother, where she was found with a bruised left cheek.
She was given 2 days MC.

They are currently working on the issue.

DBS said:
“Please be assured that any duplicated transactions will be refunded. We apologise for the inconvenience caused and seek your understanding.”
Users also reported being unable to access their iBanking accounts through the apps and on the DBS website.
One woman, Ms Chua who works as an administrative executive, also reported that her duplicated payments resulted in her entire savings almost being wiped out, leaving her with only $10.
“After checking my account, I realised my savings was almost wiped out.”
Her duplicated transactions were mainly to merchants.
