JOBLESS GF REFUSE TO HELP OUT AT HOME, NETFLIX ALL DAY

0

This has nothing to do with money. We split the rent and we share everything 50-50. I am an engineer and my GF works in healthcare. One month ago her contract at ended and she has been unemployed since.

She has already found another job but she would be able to start two months after her previous job ended, that means in a month from now. So for the past month she has been living her best life. She’s spending her mornings studying for her new job but also reading, watching Netflix, going to the gym and for runs with her dog etc.

However she hasn’t started contributing more to the household. I mean she still cooks and cleans every day but she still expects me to wash the dishes and she won’t pick up my clothes after I have returned from work. The other day I left a bunch of my mail on the table and when I returned it was left unopened, I asked her why she didn’t look through it and she told me she’s not my secretary. I have been hinting that she should be picking up more chores now that she’s unemployed but she says that she’s not my housekeeper, she does more than half of the chores and since my workload has not increased I should be able to do mine.

I mean yes, I am able to do it but I am tired from work and she isn’t so I had expected her to step up a little but no, she claims this is her break from working hard and other hurtful things, like she didn’t go to med school to be a live-in maid etc.

So am I wrong For expecting her to do most of the chores while she’s unemployed?

BF COLLECTS SOCKS OF GF TO SNIFF IT & ENJOY THE AROMA IN A PHYSICAL WAY

0

A girl shared a story online after realising her socks were constantly missing and reappeared after a week or two. She posted the story of how she escaped from her sick boyfriend.

Here is the story:

I just made the most shocking discovery of my life, my boyfriend has been together with me for 2 years has a weird habit or fetish or whatever you wanna call it.

We are staying together and I realised my socks have been missing every other week. I asked my boyfriend he said that he has no idea. I started to digged around the house and I find it under the mattress and they were stacked in a pile as if someone gathered it.

I confronted my boyfriend as no one stays in the house only me and him, I asked why did he hide all my socks. He said that it’s a prank and I forgive him as it was a small matter. But something felt wrong.

I installed a CCTV secretly without my boyfriend knowing and mount it above the cabinet and faced the bed. The camera could auto-detect motion and start to record. I installed it and reviewed it a week later.

To my horror, I saw my boyfriend sniffing at my socks while “beating the aeroplane”…….

It’s not fresh socks from the laundry, its dirty socks leh.

Should I leave him or should I confront him, something is definitely not right with his head if I confront him. It would be like talking to a crazy person.

What should I do, any advice?

BF SO STINGY UNTIL COUNTING CENTS WITH HIS GIRLFRIEND

My boyfriend is older than me. He is working full time while I am doing my own business. However, my income is about 3-4 times more than his. I didn’t think this would matter at first because he is a very nice man in general… He speaks politely to the elders, he is a responsible and loyal man and he is also very good with house chores (even better than I am).

But as time goes by, our arguments started revolving around money. When we go for meals together, he will always tell me restaurants are overpriced, we should stick to hawker centre food. I am okay and happy with it. But.. it was so rare for us to eat in restaurants. Sometimes, when business is good and I want to reward myself, I would suggest eating out at a fairly expensive restaurant (bill maybe adds up to about $60-$80). And it hurts me when I see him looking through the menu & not really happy to eat there because it is expensive. But once I offer to pay, he will order more than usual and even start complaining about the food while we are eating.. Like how it tastes just like hawker food so not worth it to pay more blabla…

Since the start of our relationship, he has been a very frugal person, while I usually don’t really look into the dollars and cents when I buy something (I do have an ok amount of savings for my age and I don’t live from paycheck to paycheck). But I was also surprised when he started documenting down all our expenses in a table form and he will even record down to the cents for all of our expenses.. Our typical practice is he pays for everything first then end of the month we split them down to 50-50.

I was also initially okay with this arrangement. And also thought that he is very nice to offer to pay 50% even though he earns significantly lesser. But what I couldn’t accept was that every single expense was 50-50. Sometimes when I look at something that I really wanted to buy (e.g. A piece of cake/ A cup of coffee), he will rarely offer to buy it for me as a treat and he will just stand there and watch me take out my wallet to pay.. Or when he does, he will start to pull that out during our quarrels to prove that he is generous.

I also will buy things for his parents during occasions like their birthdays, father’s/mother’s day, cny, etc. But he has never bought my parents any gifts besides some food he brings over sometimes when he visits.

Sometimes, when I am bothered by it, I do sit him down and speak to him about it. I also asked if it’s okay to not count everything down to dollars and cents e.g. he could try paying for one meal while i pay for the next. doesn’t matter who pays more, let’s not be so calculative to each other about it since we are a couple. but he hasn’t been receptive towards it and he thinks his way of doing things is fair. he will then start talking about how he has certain limitations like his job doesn’t pay him that much what can he do, i earn more so i should be able to pay for my own things. He also doesn’t dream of earning big. He is a very contented person and he is happy with his current income, he doesn’t see a need to earn more.

Just last week, he popped the question.. I do love him a lot but these thoughts will always be at the back of my head. What should i do..?

KPO MOTHER POST EVERYTHING ON SOCIAL MEDIA UNTIL KICKED OUT OF SON’S WEDDING

0

My mom is a social media addict and has to post everything. My wife had one request about her wedding. Other than the bridal party no one was to see the wedding dress. My mom kept trying to get my wife to post it for her friends on Facebook because she said everyone wanted her to do it. She was mad that she didn’t even get to post pictures of my wife trying on a different wedding dress and at least allow her to post the rejects. My wife said no and my mom was pissed.

Later when the mom’s and bridesmaids picked out their dresses my mom insisted on wearing white so my wife said F this and put the whole wedding party in white. Including the mothers and grandmothers.

The day of the wedding my mom took a candid shot of my wife getting her veil ready and posted it about 30 minutes before the wedding started. Tagging everyone in it. Including the father of the bride (my FIL) my wife wanted to surprise him just as much as me getting the first look of her dress while he walked her down the aisle. She even had the two photographers posted so they could get shots of the first look. Obviously this was important to my wife.

Her dad saw himself tagged in the photo so instead he saw his daughter on Facebook. My wife didn’t find out until after the ceremony because last minute preparation.

After the ceremony I kicked my mom out of the wedding and she wasn’t invited to the reception. My younger sister and my dad also left, along with a few family members.

My brother and I covered for the mother of the groom dance by leading an impromptu chicken dance to lighten the mood. The dj was super awesome and filled in the spaces with fun songs so at least the reception wasn’t a total bummer.

I really don’t even want my mom in my life now because what she did was petty and selfish. She pulled well maybe my FIL shouldn’t have had his phone on him and my wife shouldn’t have been such a stuck up diva about her dress. I have no interest in continuing a relationship with my mom at this point. My dad thinks I should put this behind me because it’s “typical women drama” but I told him it wasn’t and mom’s just a petty and what she does is not normal at all.

M’SIA – NO NEED TO WEAR MASKS OUTDOORS & USE TRACING APP ANYMORE

0

Malaysia has lifted Covid restrictions such as the wearing of masks outdoors and the use of tracing apps to enter establishments in the country.

However, masks will still be required for persons who are indoors and/or riding on the country’s public transport.

The ministry of health of Malaysia is still encouraging the wearing of masks outdoors though, although not mandatory, because it helps to stem the spread of the virus.

Malaysia’s minister of health Khairy Jamaluddin, said during a press conference that those who are unwell are advised to wear a mask regardless of whether they are indoors or outdoors.

The country will also be getting rid of the mandatory Covid tests for all incoming travelers into Malaysia who are fully vaccinated, with effect from 1 May.

COLLEAGUE FOUND OUT “NEW GUY” HAS 4 TIMES HIGHER SALARY THAN HER

0

my colleague has been with the company for two years, makes 1/4 of what I make for the same job, same title, Same duties, same workload, and I started last week… she’s not happy.

she and I are pretty decent friends, like, she’s a funny girl that likes dog, and I’m just a dude that also likes dog, so, we made fast friends and she’s into the same nerd shit as me, hence why we work a similar job.

I say this so that when I say she was at my house early this morning.

It was 2 am, she was in my house, we were several drinks into a hangout, our friends were talking about the housing market, we started talking about work. She says my house is nice for a dude that works at (insert satanic corporation) and I joke, lightly, “it’s not bad for $75k a year”.

her eyes sunk into a sorta disgusted, kinda pissed look

She asked me if I have two jobs or invest.

I said I invest but it’s all for retirement or emergencies.

She asked me if I make that money at our job

I do.

She said she makes 20k a year or a little more if there’s a bonus one quarter.

It became awkwardly silent between us, it was noticeable because our friends made a comment about it

She asked me if I got a degree

I didn’t, she did

She asked if I have experienced, I don’t

She started cursing every manager, exclaimed hatred for every client.

I genuinely feel equally upset about the situation, because fair is fair, right?

She said she’s gonna address it tomorrow. What should I do?

MAID DOESN’T WANT TO GO OVERSEAS WITH EMPLOYERS, SCARED OF “CONSEQUENCES”

A Facebook user, Deep Kaur, shared on the Facebook group FDW in Singapore (working conditions forum) asking on behalf of someone what happens if the maid doesn’t want to go on a holiday with the employers.

Here is what she said

Hello group members

Asking for behalf of someone

If the employer is going to India for vacation and they want to also take the helper with them, but if the helper doesn’t want to go with them.

What ever reason the helper has for not going with them, what can be the consequences if she refuses to go?

Should she explain her wish to them nicely? In a legel way I think employers can’t force their helpers to follow them in India and do work in India for them.

I don’t know much about it. Can anyone explain what the helper can do in this situation and what is the best thing she should do? Thank you

Netizens comments

  • First, before u hired her did u tell her honestly that sometimes u need to bring her outside Singapore?, if not, u can’t blame her if she refuse..
    Maybe the consequences is employer can terminate the helper give her a chance to work other family
    Helper have right to refuse to go other country especially if u didn’t open up during interview before u hire her maybe she scared, or she is not comfortable, or she worried we don’t know what she is thinking not all helper same mindset to go anywhere, especially if outside Singapore already,
  • As far as I know, there’s no MOM rule that says, employer not allowed to tag along the helper when they go holiday.
    Communication is important. If there’s no prior agreement that helper will be following them when they go holiday, then they should sit and talk. Employer should explain why they need to bring the helper along.
    Helper should explain, too, if she doesn’t want to follow.If it’s a valid reason, then they might agree to leave her. But if there’s no valid reason and helper just want to have freedom, no need to work and just relax and wait for salary, then employer might not be happy.
    Possible consequences will be losing the job.I’ve traveled a lot with my previous employers,both in Asia and Europe, because they have 3 small kids and needs an extra hand. I am ok if they bring me along..I take it as part of the job.
  • In my opinion our contract is only in Singapore.. if the employer wish to bring the helper, they must have a mutual agreement, yet employer cannot force helper to follow of whatever reason it is..
    going to other country is like staying to another workplace. You need to notify the MOM..

MOM’s guidelines

Can I leave my MDW with a friend, relative or employment agency while I am overseas?

As an employer, you are responsible for the well-being and upkeep of your migrant domestic worker (MDW). This applies even if you are overseas, e.g. on holiday or business trip.

You must continue to pay her salary during your absence.

You can do one of the following:

  1. Leave her at home.
  2. Allow her to return to her home country for home leave.
  3. Leave her with a friend or relative. You need to:
    • Seek approval from MOM.
    • Ensure that the person you’re leaving her with can take care of her well-being, and does not deploy her for work.
  4. Leave her at commercially provided housing such as accommodation for MDWs provided by EAs or dormitories for female workers. You need to seek approval from MOM.

To seek approval:

  1. Send an online request at least 3 working days before your trip, include the following details:
    • Name, address and relationship of the person your MDW will be staying with.
    • Name of EA or dormitory operator.
    • Duration and dates of her stay.
  2. You will receive a reply from MOM whether your request is approved or rejected.

If your MDW remains in Singapore, you must ensure she doesn’t need to pay for her upkeep, including food, medical treatment and accommodation.

WIFE SECRETLY BUYS MATTRESS BUT HUSBAND IS UNHAPPY ABOUT IT

0

My wife and I (28m and 26f) have been married for over two years now. We both have promising careers but neither of us are making a ton of money yet; we’ve been largely living paycheck to paycheck since we got together.

We’ve been sleeping on a way too old mattress and box spring since we got married that she inherited from some family member, and we’ve both been complaining about it. My side in particular has had a bad spring which was constantly digging into my side or lower back. We’ve both been researching mattresses and have agreed that we need to buy something new and better as soon as we are able.

So, anyway, a couple of weeks ago I went back home to attend my cousin’s wedding. My wife wasn’t able to go because she couldn’t get off work. When I got home my wife told me to go look in the bedroom. When I went I saw a new mattress on top of a new adjustable frame. It was wrapped in a red ribbon. My wife followed me in and said “Ta da!” When I asked her what was going on she told me that she had been slowly socking away money from her paychecks to buy a new bed, and that she had gone ahead and bought a nice, new, hybrid mattress with an adjustable frame so that we could watch TV in bed together. She seemed really excited about it.

I, however, wasn’t happy. I told her that a mattress was a major purpose and that we should have decided it together to make sure that it was something that we both liked. She said that she was really disappointed in my response and that she’d wanted to surprise me by saving up her own money and buying something nice that we needed, and that she’d thought I’d be happy. She said that surely the new bed was better than the old and that I should just be grateful to be sleeping on something better since I didn’t have to put any money in.

But I think it was a major purchase and she should have talked to me first, even if she did use her own money.

Here are what netizens think:

  • You’ve been complaining about the old mattress and now you’re complaining about the new one. What else do you want to control?
  • Doesn’t seem like it was about money at all. It was about wanting input on where you’re gonna sleep for the next few years.
  • I think I would be delighted at such a surprise after 2 YEARS of being poked by bad springs and a broken down mattress.

CNB RESPONDS TO “MISINFORMATION” RELATING TO NAGAENTHRAN’S CASE

The Central Narcotics Bureau (CNB) issued a statement on their website relating to the facts of the case relating to Nagaenthran Dharmalingam, and calling out the “misinformation”.

Here is what they said

In response to media queries – Facts of the case of Nagaenthran A/L K Dharmalingam

27 Apr 2022

1. Nagaenthran was arrested at Woodlands Checkpoint on 22 April 2009 as he was entering Singapore from Malaysia. He was bringing in nearly half a kilo of a powdery substance which contained at least 42 grammes of pure heroin. That is enough to feed the addiction of 510 drug abusers for a week.

2. Nagaenthran was convicted and sentenced on 22 November 2010.

3. Nagaenthran appealed against his conviction and sentence, and the Court of Appeal dismissed his appeal on 27 July 2011.

4. After that, Nagaenthran made a total of seven applications (not including appeals), from February 2015 to this week. All his applications and appeals were unsuccessful. 

5. The Courts have found, among others, that:

  (i) Nagaenthran knew what he was doing; and that he did not suffer from intellectual disability;

  (ii) A psychiatrist called by the Defence on Nagaenthran’s behalf, agreed in Court that Nagaenthran was not intellectually disabled;

  (iii) His actions showed that he was “capable of manipulation and evasion” – for instance, when stopped at the checkpoint, he attempted to stop a search by telling the officers that he was “working in security”, thus appealing to the social perception of the trustworthiness of security officers. He was also noted to be “continuously altering his account of his education qualifications…, to reflect lower educational qualifications each time he was interviewed”; and

 (iv) Nagaenthran’s actions “evidenced a deliberate, purposeful and calculated decision”, “in the hope that the endeavour would pay off, despite the obvious risks”. This was “the working of a criminal mind, weighing the risks and countervailing benefits associated with the criminal conduct in question”. Nagaenthran considered the risks, balanced it against the reward he had hoped he would get, and decided to take the risk.

6. The Courts have also noted that the assertion, made in 2021, that Nagaenthran possessed the mental age of a person below 18 years of age, was the opinion of Mr M Ravi, Nagaenthran’s counsel. But Mr Ravi conceded that he did not possess any medical expertise to comment on this matter. At the same time, Mr Ravi refused to consent to having Nagaenthran’s latest medical and psychiatric reports placed before the Court, which would have been relevant. The Courts also noted that Mr Ravi had only met Nagaenthran once in the last three years, for a total of 26 minutes on 2 November 2021.

7. There has been much misinformation that has been put out in relation to Nagaenthran, in particular on his mental state. The above are the facts, as found by the Courts.

8. Nagaenthran had his capital sentence carried out today at Changi Prison Complex.

9. It should be noted that in the US, two persons were executed in October 2021. They had IQ ranges of 64 – 72 and 63 – 95 respectively, similar to Nagaenthran. The US Courts dismissed arguments relating to their alleged intellectual disability.
