A video emerged online showing a girl trapped inside a locked bus after she overslept while on the way to work.
The netizen said that she was on her way to work at 7am and because it was an hour long journey, she took a little nap on the bus.
She then woke up and found herself in an empty bus, and she couldn’t find the driver of the bus and started panicking inside the locked bus which was parked at a “different interchange”.
She then managed to find a driver, presumably by knocking on the windows, and she was eventually let out of the bus.
Several other SMRT workers also assisted the girl and one of them escorted her out of the parking bay – the girl said that they were very understanding.
The girl then went to a taxi stand thinking she was late but it turned out that she was actually an hour early…

A video emerged online showing a chicken crossing the road like a person, abiding by the traffic rules unlike some human beings.
The chicken was seen waiting patiently at the traffic light, standing behind a man who was also waiting at the traffic light.
The traffic light then turned green and the rooster then started crossing the road, walking behind the human pedestrians.
The pedestrians were understandably amused at the chicken crossing the road as they turned around to look at what was unfolding before their eyes.
The green man on the traffic light then started blinking, indicating that it was turning red soon, and the chicken then started picking up pace and running across.
It appeared as though it knew that it had to hurry up.
A video emerged online showing a group of errant cyclists gathering in a group of more than 5 persons – there were more than a dozen people.
They were seen congregating in a very large group and also cycling together as a huge group as well.

A maid was caught using the employer’s father’s ATM card to make illegal ATM withdrawals.
Patmawati Daun Kuri an Indonesian maid was employed to take care of a 79-year-old elderly man who is undergoing dialysis. She was trusted to take care of the elderly man which includes bringing him to the hospital for treatments.
In a span of around 6 months, the elderly man would often instruct the maid to take money from his wallet to buy some breakfast.
But she took the opportunity to not just take the cash but also the man’s POSB ATM card.
The maid used the man’s card and draw a total of SGD$6,000 on twelve occasions, little did she expect that her face was caught on the ATM’s CCTV.
The elderly man later realized that there was money missing from his account and told his daughter to make a Police report.
The maid initially denied the allegations and said that she did not take the money until the evidence was displayed in her face.
The maid then pleaded guilty but the prosecutor stated that the maids plead of guilty should not affect the sentence as she denied all allegations until it is proven.
The maid was eventually jailed for 4 months.
A netizen shared how she accidentally saw her boyfriend’s internet history, which was full of adult websites and she feels insecure.
“Recently, I found out that my guy watches a lot of adult videos. I know that almost everyone watches and there is nothing wrong with it.
But when he accidentally showed me his search history (I pretended I did not see it) almost every single one of his search history is related to explicit materials.
There was even one that allows him to pleasure himself with others on a live cam. Not sure if he actually participated in this or just watched the live cam.
Although I do know and am accepting of him watching, I can’t help but feel a little insecure about us because he watches way more than I expected.
I do initiate and am very receptive of his advances.
Should I feel insecure? Or do all guys just generally watch so much even in a relationship?”
Editor’s note: Maybe that’s his e-learning on how to please you.
