WOMAN ASKS HOW TO KAYSIAO AND LOOK LIKE SHE IS BUSY AT THE OFFICE

0

A netizen shared how she works in an office for an MNC and always has a lot of time on her hands with nothing to do, and she asks how to make herself look like she is super hard at work.

Here is what she said

How do I act seemingly busy while I’m at the office?

Working as an office admin for MNC. I send a couple of emails in the morning, maybe some in the afternoon too but I always seem to have excess time on my hands.

Sitting close to the managers who ALWAYS seems so busy on their computers is so stressful cause I feel I need to look busy too.

What sites can I have open on my screen so I look like I’m doing some rando research. Wanna look like I’m super hard at work but not too try-hard. Not amber heard level actress.

Unpopular opinion: I miss the lock downs during peak covid because I the office environment is super stressing me out.

Netizen’s comments

I’ve had this problem before.

I used the free time to pick up Excel skills, because nobody would question you if you had an Excel spreadsheet open on your screen. And even if it’s not work related, you can just say you are learning Excel skills and no one can really fault you for it because extra skills that are potentially useful for work doesn’t hurt.

Try to work on an Excel project that interests and/or benefits you personally, like calculate your monthly expenses, or which credit card rewards system gives you the greatest benefit, which carpark in town is the cheapest to park at, project how many years are needed to save enough cash + CPF for the deposit and fees required for your next dream home, etc.

At more advanced levels you can also pick up VBA and do stuff like HTML web scraping for data, program a sudoku solver, batch rename/move files in bulk, or automate simple tasks like generating a report or mass sending emails from a template.

Before you know it, you’ll get engrossed in it and the time flies by really quickly.

IMMIGRATION OFFENDER FELL TO HER DEATH WHILE EVADING ARREST, MAN WHO HARBOURED HER JAILED

The Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) said in a news release that a 47-year-old man, Chan Kok Keong, was jailed 8 months for harbouring a female immigration offender from China, who fell to her death while trying to evade arrest by climbing out of the unit’s bedroom window and falling onto the ground floor.

Here is what ICA said

A 47-year-old Singapore citizen, Chan Kok Keong (“Chan”), was sentenced to eight months’ imprisonment for harbouring a female Chinese immigration offender.

2.          Chan had rented two units located at Kembangan Plaza and Eunos Crescent. He then signed tenancy agreements to allow a female Chinese national friend, Gong Xiuxian (“Gong”) to stay and manage both units from July to September 2019 and October 2019 to November 2020 respectively. Chan claimed that he had assumed Gong to be a valid Dependant’s Pass holder and thus did not verify if her immigration status in Singapore was valid. Investigations revealed that, Gong had overstayed in Singapore since 2014.

3.          On 2 November 2020, ICA officers conducted checks on the unit located in Eunos Crescent. To evade arrest, Gong climbed out from the unit’s bedroom window and fell off the window ledge to the ground floor. She was subsequently pronounced dead on-site by paramedics.

4.          For not exercising due diligence to ascertain if Gong’s immigration pass was valid when he allowed her to stay at the unit located at Eunos Crescent, Chan had committed an offence of harbouring an immigration offender with reckless disregard under the Immigration Act. 

5.          ICA takes a firm stance against any person who harbours immigration offenders. Those who wish to rent their premises must exercise due diligence in checking the status of their prospective foreign tenants to ensure that their status in Singapore is legal. They are required to conduct the following three mandatory checks:

a. Check the tenant’s original immigration/work pass;
b. Cross check the particulars on his/her pass against the particulars on his/her original passport; and
c. Verify the validity of his/her pass by checking with the issuing authority (i.e. MOM for work related passes at www.mom.gov.sg and ICA for other immigration passes such as Student’s Pass and Long-Term Visit Pass at http://eservices.ica.gov.sg/ipienquiry/web/verifi/landing)

(See Annex for more tips on the above.)

6.          If any person is found guilty of recklessly (i.e. carrying out only one of the three due diligence checks) or knowingly harbouring overstayers and/or illegal immigrants, he may be sentenced to imprisonment for a presumptive minimum term of not less than six months and not more than two years and a fine of up to S$6,000. If any person is found guilty of negligently (i.e. carrying out only two of the three due diligence checks) harbouring overstayers and/or illegal immigrants, he may be sentenced to a fine of up to S$6,000 or to imprisonment for a term of up to 12 months or both.

MAN’S GF ACCUSES HIM OF SLEEPING WITH HER TEENAGE DAUGHTER

0

My girlfriend accused me of sleeping with her daughter

I’ve been with my girlfriend for two years now. I’m 27 and she’s 39. When I met her I knew she had a teenage daughter but that wasn’t really an obstacle for me.

I thought her daughter was going to hate me but I actually got along with her great. We became even closer when they moved in with me.

Her daughter is 15 and she’s honestly an amazing kid. I thought that me bonding with her kid would make my girlfriend happy but apparently not.

My girlfriend accused me a few days ago of sleeping with her daughter. Her reason for that was that her daughter liked me “too much”.

I don’t even know what that means. I have never done anything even remotely inappropriate with her daughter. She’s a kid.

I’ve moved out to a hotel for a few nights till I figure this out. I honestly don’t know what I’m gonna do but I’m so mad at my girlfriend.

GF GO HOTEL WITH GUY NO WRONG, BUT BF’S PHONE HAS DATING APP IS SUPER WRONG

0

We’ve been a couple for 2 years alr but I’m getting tired of him.

We’ve been arguing almost everyday for the past 2 months. Every argument was just full of grudges.

When we first started dating, he seem fine. Good looking, treats me well but as our dating days goes by. We lost more trusts n faith with each other, always second guessing each other. We breakup n get back uncountable times n now I’m really getting sick n tired of this relationship.

We met through mutual friends and his job just happened to be mine interest, so I left a comment on ig and then we started dming each other so end up being together. First few months of the relationship was good. Afterwards, we been arguing at least twice a week. The contradiction between us getting bigger every arguments.

When we dating, I once saw his phone apps consist of those meetings new friends apps ( but these apps usually is meet new gender friend and end up being a couple). I asked him why u need these kind of apps? He said I’ve always been ignoring him, since mine phone always on silence and he suspect I have affair outside just because a guy sent me a hotel room detail. But that was because I need to go his room for works and that guy I working with is a good husband. Everyone know how well he treated ppl, how popular he is at work. I cannot deny having eyecandies on him when he have capabilities as a boss and as a person.

We went out for a date n my bf didn’t say anything. just silent treatment when I asked him qns and he just left me alone in the mall n walk away. I messaged him what wrong,why are you giving me cold treatment. He said was because of the hotel incident and I said why didn’t u ask me. I could’ve shown you the full messages. I was very disappointed that he think I was such an easy person to get laid with. When I was working, all in mine mind was just to earn enough money so that we can have a grand wedding event. We could’ve sat down and talks about his unhappiness but he decided to just being angry and thinking that I cheated on him.

He also been meeting his exes. I once saw his message notifications from his friend stated ” wah, you going meet Ur exes ah? Not scared Ur current found out?”. I was so furious when I saw that notification.

During dating, we said we’ll be honest with each other regardless of what but he didn’t even mentioned that the ex asked for meetups with him. Only when I confronted with him,he started blurting out.

I’ve never mentioned about my exes because it’s in the past n we didn’t have contacts anymore but he did. He not only didn’t mention about it but also went to meetup with his exes.

One of our biggest arguements almost lead us to breaking up permanently. He suggested it but I didn’t want to. So he said ok. Let’s have cooldown periods instead. So during the cooldown period, I went out with 3 other friends( 1 F, 2M) we went to USS tgt. But he been accusing me of cheating on him with one of the guy because we took pair shot.

All of us are close friends and even my bf know them since we have mutual friends. He’s such a atrocious person to think that because of pair photos, I cheated on him. Moreover, the 2M also have gf already. We’re just purely hanging out to catch-up as clique. He also accusing me saying I’m a slut for hanging out with guys during our cooldown period but I don’t see anything wrong with mine actions.

he also ownself went out to drinks with friends, make new female friends at the drinking place. His friend ig stories videoed him playing happily with all the gals and said he’s single during our cooldown period then his friends also proceed to video him asking the gals for their social media, contact no and etc.

He said all the female contacts he added was just Vase. Just to look like he’s popular with gals but he don’t contact them.

He said he just using the ig stories to make me angry cause I went out hanging with clique that have guys included so he’s doing the same and he also have a lot chats that require password to enter.

I’m so done with him but I don’t want breakup with him. I should be the one dumping him not him dumping me. I have many admirers and all of them are better than him whether in looking, studies or as a person. I gave him the chance yet he felt that I was the one unreasonable during our 2 years of relationship.

Here are what netizens think:

  • So he has to accept you went to a hotel with a guy alone, but you are not ok with him having app on his phone.”I am so done with him, but I don’t want to breakup with him”You are so full of contradiction. If you can’t decide go and pluck flower petals.”I should be the one dumping him, not him dumping me”What are you 3 years old?”I have many admirers blah blah”With your mindset, nothing will change.
  • Just break, both of u are not emotionally and mentally matured to carry out a proper relationship.
  • Certainly, there’s NO LOVE between you two, only resentment, hatred & grudges. Why don’t you two break up? Social pressure? or mutual friends? Forget everything about what others might think and just break up. Because at the end of the day, it’s only YOU who are gonna be responsible for your life’s decisions. Start a new life full of love, care & respect. You must be able to LOVE & RESPECT someone in order to be in a relationship with him. Love is about feeling for each other, bringing meaning to each other’s lives, uplifting each other & finding immense happiness in doing all these. That’s so fundamental to start with.

DRUG SUSPECT WHO ALLEGEDLY TOOK HEROIN, JUMPED DOWN FROM 3RD FLOOR

The Central Narcotics Bureau (CNB), said in a statement on Facebook that a suspected drug offender was arrested after jumping down from her 3rd floor window onto the parapet on the 2nd floor, before trying to climb down to the first floor to get away from the police.

Here is what they said

𝗧𝗥𝗔𝗦𝗛-𝗟𝗔𝗡𝗗𝗜𝗡𝗚: 𝗗𝗿𝘂𝗴 𝘀𝘂𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗲 𝗱𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝘀𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗱-𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗽𝗲𝘁 𝘄𝗮𝗹𝗹, 𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘀𝗵-𝗯𝗶𝗻 𝗺𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝗯𝘆 𝗖𝗡𝗕 𝗼𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗲𝗿 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝘀𝗮𝗳𝗲𝘁𝘆 #𝗖𝗡𝗕𝗢𝗻𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗠𝗼𝘃𝗲

In a recent operation, a suspected drug offender climbed out of her third-story window and jumped down onto the second-story parapet.

She then attempted to scale down the parapet wall despite warnings from CNB officers below, putting herself at risk of serious injury.

An officer quickly moved a nearby trash-bin in place to cushion her descent and she managed to land safely.

She was placed under arrest and subsequently brought to the hospital for a check-up.

Investigations indicate she is suspected to have consumed heroin not long before officers arrived at her location.

WOMAN FELT UNWELL AT PARTY, FIANCE SAYS “RELAX” THEN LEAVES HER

0

My (25F) fiancé (26M) left me alone while I was feeling unwell at a party and then got angry at me for asking my ex (26M) for help.

This happened last weekend during a party. I started feeling woozy and sick so I went to tell my fiancé because I wanted to go home. He never took me seriously and told me to just relax and sit down for a little while. He ended up finding me somewhere to sit and left me there to go hang out with his friends again.

I didn’t feel better, in fact I started to feel worse and I was starting to feel scared because I didn’t know what was happening to me. I felt like I was on the verge of a panic attack and I tried to find my fiancé again but there were too many people and I couldn’t see him. I did find my ex and his friends though.

I ended up going up to him and telling him I didn’t feel good. He and his friends tried to find my fiancé for me but they couldn’t find him anywhere so he ended up taking me home. I live with my older brother and sister-in-law, and my ex explained the situation to them including the fact that my fiancé left me alone and that they couldn’t find him after.

My fiancé came to see me the next day and my brother was so angry at him that he kicked him out after yelling at him, without letting him see me. Now my fiancé is angry at me for going to my ex for help and letting him lie about him. According to him, a friend of his saw me with my ex and it looked like I was “all over him”.

I feel angry at him too for just leaving me when I told him I wasn’t feeling well.

I don’t want to keep fighting about this but he doesn’t seem to think he did anything wrong since he said I didn’t make it clear I was feeling that bad. He said he would’ve taken me home if he realised how serious I was. I don’t know if I should just apologise so we can move past this or not.

What do you guys think? Should I? How else can we resolve this?

RAT FAMILY THRIVING AT PASIR RIS, NETIZENS URGED QUICK ACTIONS

Facebook user Dustin Lee uploaded a video and a photo of multiple rats finding their way into the garbage bags to find food.

The netizen said that the footage was taken at Blk 142 Pasir Ris, he stated that there are almost 6-7 rats having a meal.

Trash not disposed of properly becomes a rodent’s buffet

The garbage bag was left lying alongside the road and it was not dumped in a bin.

Actions such as this attract nasty creatures such as rats and cockroaches. These creatures reproduce quickly and often cause discomfort to residents.

According to NEA, Rats are vectors as they can transmit diseases to humans and animals. Rat-transmitted diseases, such as leptospirosis, hantavirus and murine typhus, can be passed to humans through direct contact or breathing in dust contaminated with rat urine or droppings, or via a flea bite from an infected rat.
