MAN TOOK UPSKIRT PHOTOS OF WOMEN TO “RELIEVE STRESS”, JAILED 10 WEEKS

Phua Ze Ming, 30-years-old, pleaded guilty to 3 counts of voyeurism and was sentenced to 10 weeks imprisonment on 22 December.

Another 4 more charges were considered for his sentencing.

What happened?

He had taken intimate photos of 3 women on 7 occasions across 10 days between 2 March to 12 March earlier this year.

He was finally caught on 12 March when the boyfriend of one of the victims noticed him standing behind the woman with his phone below her skirt.

The boyfriend then confronted Phua and checked his phone, and he found a photo of his girlfriend’s backside.

Phua was subsequently arrested and his phone was then seized, and investigations then revealed that he had taken upskirt photos of other victims.

Stressed

Phua defended himself saying that if anything upsets him, he tries to keep it to himself and that he cannot show his wife and two children his weakness and that he is not good at expressing himself

He added that he tries to present himself as a strong man but deep down inside he cannot handle his emotions well.

The prosecutor then said that it isn’t clear how his stress was linked to his offence.

Phua is expected to serve his jail term on 27 December.

GIRL BOUGHT BF NINTENDO SWITCH FOR X’MAS SURPRISE, SCARED HE’LL FIND OUT

A netizen shared how she bought her boyfriend a Nintendo Switch as a surprise for Christmas but is afraid he’ll find out before Christmas as the box is too big.

Here is the story:

“Hi everyone, please help a sister out. I got my bf a switch for Christmas and I have no idea how to surprise him. You see my idiotic self told him I didn’t get him any physical gift, just a voucher for a restaurant we both love. Given that the box is so huge, idk how on earth I am going to bring it around without arousing any suspicion.

I know I dug myself into this hole but I was trying sooo hard to sell the idea that I seriously did not get a physical gift for him cos the dude would be able to guess what I got for him if he knew I got him a gift.

So to the switch lovers/gamers out there, how would you like to be surprised with a switch?

Thanks, everybody and Merry Christmas in advance!”

Editor’s note: That’s really sweet, surprise or not, I’m sure he’ll be over the moon.

NETIZEN REJECTED JOB OFFER, THEN COMPANY DEMANDS COMPENSATION

NETIZEN REJECTED JOB OFFER, THEN COMPANY DEMANDS COMPENSATION

A netizen was offered a job by a company and he/she rejected it, and nothing was signed – the company then demanded compensation.

Here is the story:

“Posting this as a warning to job seekers.

I was finding a job 6 months ago through a recruiter, let’s call them ‘C’. They offered me a job and I accepted the offer. But I had a change of mind and eventually told C that I’m not interested, and did not turn up at the client’s place to sign the letter of appointment (LOA). Before that, I did ask C for the LOA, but C had insisted not to give, saying it’s for audit compliance and does not carry any of the employment obligations between me and the recruiter.

After I rejected the offer, C reiterated our email exchange and mentioned that there is a contractual obligation between us. In our contract, it was mentioned that I would only consider accepting any client’s job offer if C could garner a minimum monthly basic salary of S$XXXX, which C had successfully done so based on my request. C had negotiated with this client without my knowledge or request, saying that there was 1 competing candidate and C had negotiated for the client to accept me.

C is threatening legal proceedings against me for breach of contract if I do not pay them a compensation of 1 month in salary as per the contractual obligations, which had also stated that if I reneged an offer after acceptance, they could seek compensation from me.

What should I do?”

Editor’s note: Make a complaint to MOM, nothing was signed and the company can’t do anything to you.

MAN CHEATS ON WIFE THEN BLAMES OWN DAUGHTER FOR EXPOSING HIM

A netizen shared how her father cheated on her mother and blames her for exposing him as well as wanted to sue her for invading his privacy.

Here is the story:

“I think I’ve reached the lowest point of my life. I recently found out that my father was cheating on my mother.

Not only did he not feel any remorse over his action, he pushed the blame on me since I was the one who exposed his affair.

He even mentioned that he was going to sue me for snooping through his phone and invading his privacy.

Isn’t it ironic that evidence of adultery is needed in court and yet the means to acquire this evidence requires privacy invasion?

I can’t believe a father would think about suing his own child over this when he was the one who was in the wrong.

I’m honestly so drained from this and am really worried over our financial situation after this divorce. I think I’m panicking on the inside over the fact that my mom and my siblings might be homeless after all this…

I’m starting to blame myself for exposing the truth to my mother since it was perhaps better for me to close one eye and live in ignorance.. life could have been simpler and happier that way..

I am really lost and have no idea what to do….”

Editor’s note: You did nothing wrong.

GIRL CUTS CONTACT WITH GUY BUT HOPES HE RETURNS & MAKE HER FEEL WANTED

GIRL CUTS CONTACT WITH GUY BUT HOPES HE RETURNS & MAKE HER FEEL WANTED

A netizen shared how she cut contact with a guy because the relationship was toxic but is still hoping he comes back to make her feel wanted.

Here is the story:

“These days, I feel that people are taking relationships very lightly. Having so many cases of extra-marital affairs surfacing, fwb, cross partner exchanges etc, I cannot comprehend.

I have been pretty down recently. So I cut contact with a guy, now for 4-5 months already. I had initiated it because I knew that the relationship was toxic right from the beginning. We already knew we were going nowhere, and eventually the day would come when we needed to go our separate ways. Yet each time, he reaches out to me, again and again, I will unknowingly fall deeper for him.

It came to a point where I knew it wasn’t sustainable anymore. So I told him that we needed to stop so I can move on. Knowing that he knows the right words to say to make my heart turn back, I even blocked all channels of communication between us. Eventually, he still managed to reach out to me and drop a last msg, saying he accepts this, but he was still sad.

Somewhere within me, I actually still hoped that he would come back and make me feel wanted. I wish he gave me the feeling that I would have some reason to return to him. But no. We ended via message, with me saying “Let’s just end here”.

Between months, I still find myself missing him so much. I would uncontrollably contact him. When I messaged him, he seemed quite contented with his life. I realized I had always been the one holding on to things that don’t belong to me, thinking that he would miss me as much as I missed him.

I know I am silly. I should move on to find someone else I can rely on. But yet when guys approached me, I only wished that I could be back with him. Many times I had told myself to move on, but when I reached the stage of  “getting to know each other”, I would feel exhausted and the thought that he is no longer with me will bring me sorrow. Why am I so enclosed?

I question myself sometimes – perhaps if I don’t love anyone, I would not get myself so upset. That’s why when I look at people who play too much, I often wonder if they have been hurt badly before too?”

COMMUTER SAYS NOT ENOUGH PEOPLE GIVING UP THEIR SEATS ON THE MRT

A netizen shared how he “observed” people in the MRT and saw more young and able-bodied people taking up the seats than the elderly.

Here is the story:

“I wanna make this confession but I really don’t want to stir any shit so please understand that what I say is based on my experience.

As someone on public transport for my whole life, I’ve been observing the people who are seated on the seats on trains and buses. I noticed something which kind of troubles me.

I did some sampling over half a year. Every time I took public transport at about 8 am, I would enter different parts of the trains and observe a particular section of seats.

Here are my observed statistics out of a total of 14 seats: (averaged over)

8.2 seats were taken by young and able-bodied.

3.6 seats were taken by elderly.

5.2 seats were taken by males.

These are just my data collection. Feel free to take your own, but I feel that as a society, we should look at letting people understand who we should give up the seats for. Thoughts?

For me… I just stand all the way. 16 stops only. Cheers.”

Editor’s note: They paid their fares, they are entitled to sit down. If you want a seat then take a taxi.

NETIZEN WANTS TO END FRIENDSHIP BECAUSE FRIENDS KEEP ASKING TO MEET UP

A netizen shared how his friends keep asking to meet up and he is considering ending his friendship with them because he finds it stressful to go out.

Here is the story:

“Why do my friends keep insisting that I hang out with them? They know I don’t like to hang out or go out.

We don’t have to hang out every other week to be friends, y’know. In fact, my closest friends are those that only WA or tele me with no expectation to meet up ever.

If they keep insisting on meeting up I rather not have them as friends tbh it’s too stressful and irritating”

Editor’s note: I think you should just end things since you’re already unhappy with things, why drag on the stress?
