Daughter who can’t stand living with mom anymore, just need to rant.

My parents got divorced when I was 13, and it had a really bad impact on me, mentally and emotionally if it makes sense. I wouldn’t say that I suffer from anxiety/depression etc. because I was never diagnosed and I don’t wish to downplay the shit that people who do suffer from them go through.

However, the emotional turmoil I was put through, did cause a lot of self-harm to happen, a lot of insecurities, a lot of just me trying to find a new identity and adapt to a new life without a happy family. A lot of these thoughts still surface even now. My closest friends would have heard me talking about that one scene that replays in my head every now and then, of my father (one who never ever cries) choking up while wrapping my textbooks for me, while my mother packed her things in the room to move out.

My dad loved and still loves my mom, the way he looked at her even now when we do meet, the way he always reminded me to listen and help my mom out because I’m the eldest. He loves her so much, but she left him because she didn’t want to be with a “poor” man. Because I know how much my dad loves her and how much he would sacrifice his entire life just for her, that’s why I hated my mom when she divorced my dad.

We then moved out together, my mom got our custody and my dad didn’t fight it because he didn’t want my mom to go through so much.

The relationship my mom and I had was horrible, I wouldn’t talk to her, and I hated the sight of her. To me, she’s a hypocrite who’s nice only when people are around, she’s nice to her friends and their kids, but doesn’t treat us like humans when we’re home. She does provide a roof over our heads, feeds us occasionally, but is she really a good mom if half the time she’s losing her temper at us for things that were not our fault?

Is she really a good mom if she hurls vulgarities at you when you were only 14, just because you didn’t pack your school bag the night before? Is she a good mom if she calls you names and says “I wanna kill you with a cleaver”?

I lived with her horrible temper for close to 10 years. Even when things got better between us when I graduated from University, I would still stay out till 11 pm just to avoid having to speak to her or see her. The problem is, we share the same room and bed, so I have no choice but to face her every day.

I don’t even have any sort of privacy or time alone in my room because we share a room AND BED?! uGH. For many years, I’ve yearned to move out on my own because dealing with her was so taxing on my mental health. I’ve tried taking my life a few times but failed because I always thought of my dad right before I take any action.

Now that there’s COVID, I’ve had to face her every single day at home because both of us work from home. I am reaching my limit and I don’t know how long I can deal with this. I wanna move out but rent is so expensive, but if I don’t, I have to deal with her temper, insults, and ridiculous antics like buying appliances worth $5000 when she has no money and then borrowing money from us.

If only there was a way to get rich quick if only a kind soul would rent her room out to me for $100 or less, if only I was never born.. What would you do if you were me? with a measly 2.8k pay, a future to save for, and expenses to pay for?

Anybody wanna take in someone who’s about to lose her mind?

TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE, PRODUCT AND SHADY TERMS AND CONDITION. AWAITING WARRENTY CLAIM RESPONSE.

Bought ‘Brie Storage Bed Frame’ from BedandBasics.sg, cost $499 (round up to $500). Broke in 4 days. Company trying to hand wave everything and use T&C to get away with it. Please #help me create awareness, let them know that this is NOT RIGHT AT ALL.

First things first, from pictures and website description, they led you to believe that ‘Brie Storage Bed Frame’ came with a base. When it arrived, there was no base/ floor board to the bed frame (refer to the video attached to this post). This meant that all the items within the “storage” area are just simply placed on the floor. Essentially you’re only paying for the rectangular bed frame, the metal bars that support your mattress and that “hydraulic lift mechanism”. This was already the first red flag – it was so shady that “NO FLOOR BOARDS” was NOT mentioned on the product site. Instead, portrayed the bed frame to be similar to other bed frames that have a floor board.

How long do you think a bed frame would typically last? If your answer is ‘at least 1 year or 6 months (if it’s really cheap)’. Then, boy, you’re going to be in for hell of an experience when you find out how this bed frame – that costs $499 – from BedandBasics.sg only lasted for 4 days. 4 DAYS. So you pay $124.75 a day for sleeping on a bed frame? lol.

During the on-site installation, THEY DID NOT install everything that was part of the bed frame.

I only found out about this CRUCIAL MISSING COMPONENT while trying to know why the bed frame was not holding up and sinking in the middle. The middle bar is required to support the bed frame. No middle bar, the bed frame will of course be unable to hold up. But now, as a customer, I’m denied compensation from this incident rooted from their mistake? Is this even fair? You guys be the judge.

Now you might think, “just ask for refund or at least exchange la”. This company – BedandBasics.sg – absolutely refuses to do any of the mentioned. Quoting their absurd terms and conditions as some sort of excuse to prevent their customers from returning/exchanging any products. “The products must be in resaleable condition, unused and undamaged with their original packing fully intact” or like “Products that require on-site assembly”.

I have so many questions. What’s stopping them from selling us faulty products that breaks or spoils in 4 days? What happens to us, as customers, that face such a situation? What can we do about them denying us? Currently, they are refusing any sorts of help / solutions while quoting those terms as their shield. Look, I’m not trying to get my money back or get freebies, I just want a bed frame to support my back when I’m sleeping at night after a long day of work.

To me, this is absolutely disgusting and absurd. To pay $499 for a metal bed frame that breaks in 4 days. 4 days means I slept on it only 4 times. 4 uses. It’s not even a $100 bed frame. Have submitted a claim under warranty to repair the broken part. They have not replied.

So, THINK AGAIN IF YOU WANT TO BUY FROM THEM. PSA to any future customers who wishes to buy from BedandBasics.sg. You’re not going to get your money back, if your bed breaks after you lie on it ONCE, you are not going to get any refund or exchange. Don’t do it.

A man opened a can of jia jia tea and found something disgusting in Jia Jia Herbal Tea.

From the background of the photo, it seems that the man was drinking this at the coffee shop. Not to confuse this drink with grass jelly drinks there is suppose to have NO jelly in this drink.

Yet an unknown blob of substance was found in the drink.

The man even posted another photo to show that it is not expired with a production date that is not even 6 months old.

A man received a dubious Whatsapp message with Lazada’s logo and the sender told the man that there is a job offer.

The man then posted screenshots of the conversations online asking if it was a scam.

It seems like a lot of people are still unable to identify what are scams and what is not. The number seems to be from Malaysia and the man received two separate messages.

If you notice the logo of the Lazada icon is different. It is best to contact Lazada if your unsure.

Here is the message convo
