A housewife shared the story of her relationship after finding out that her husband regular visits adult forums and seeks advice if he should confront him.
Here is the story:
Dear Uncensored, please share my stories and the photo I attached,
After my husband started working from home, from 9 am to 6 pm I can see him using the computer.
One day, my computer broke down and I wanted to watch some films and decided to use my husband’s computer when he was out. When I opened his browser and type youtube a number of random links appeared before I could complete typing.
It seems to be a history of my husband’s browsing history. I got curious and click on it.
What I discovered made me so disgusted and I shut off the computer straight. I realised that he was visiting adult problems with many chickens. The chicken forum has photos, their 3 sizes and even reviews by customers.
As I cannot stand it and I turned on the computer again and tried to log in to the forum at the website. He saved his username and password and I managed to see his private message on the forum.
There was a few messages of him asking the Wechat ID of the girls and it seems that he has EVEN MADE APPOINTMENTS TO VISIT THEM!!! They were either Vietnam or PRC girls and it was not his first time doing it as there were so many messages in his account!!!
OMG, I don’t know if I should visit a doctor to get my blood test. It might be dirty.
How should I confront my husband or are all man are like that? Should I find a doctor?
A video of a cyclist tailgating a lorry was filmed by a road user.
If the lorry brakes “he will escape without injuries” because he thinks he is “superman” reincarnated. Wearing bright color clothes don’t guarantee you safety because your action shows the level of intelligence you have.
Worse part got bicycle lane don’t want use.
According to Section 7, Paragraph 6 of the Road Traffic (Bicycle) Rules in the Road Traffic Act under Chapter 276, Section 140, “When a bicycle lane is provided on part of a road, no bicycle, power‑assisted bicycle, trishaw or tricycle shall be used on any other part of the roadway.”
This happened on 14/8/21 at 0905 hours along Tanah Merah Coast Road.
Now, dine-in go here go there need to open phone show vaccination status. Got one guy decided to get creative and print his status on a T-shirt.
His T-shirt stated his name and NRIC with the private information censored.
It even states where and when he got the vaccination.
In his Instagram post he said:
“Yesterday Singapore is open to dine-in once again. You have to prove you are already vaccinated. So I printed this in my factory. This two days dining in is a breeze. No question asked. Benefit of vaccine. Dont hesitate, vaccine and stay safe.”
A man shared a story of him trying to be a smart aleck and tried to argue with a safety distancing ambassador. However, the man did not receive any empathy from netizens but got scolded instead
Here is his “complaint”:
Had an unpleasant experience at Satay by the Bay this evening. Had gone there with the family (total 5 of us, 1 child) thinking it would be nice to have a meal outside after such a long while, albeit in 2 separate tables.
That’s right, I assumed 2 instead of 3 cos I tot the child, being unvaccinated, could sit with my wife and I, while the other two adults sit at another table. Seems I misunderstood the ruling for F&B where 5 can sit together along with the unvaccinated child of the same household.
Anyway ordered food, and along came this safe distancing ambassador coming up to our table and told us in an unfriendly tone that we cannot sit with three in a table and we had to split up. What irked me was not so much the message but her tone, and I told her that I had assumed an unvaccinated child could sit with the parents.
She stated flatly that Satay by the Bay was a hawker centre, not F&B, so we had to separate. Perturbed even more by her tone now, I told her I would check online there and then, and if verified, I would move (afterall if there were people coming to my house claiming they had a right to enter my house there and then to verify there is no party going on, I think I deserve that the right to verify if that is the case then.) Anyway she snidely said if I wanted to check to go ahead but first separate or she would take our pictures.
That became a threat. I refused to reply to her knowing my own short fuse would escalate the situation quickly and let her take whatever she needed. I spent a couple of mins checking and indeed seems 2 is the rule irrespective of child or not, vaccinated or not. I humbly complied and move to another table alone to eat my humble pie. What spoiled my evening was of course my own shoddiness to developments and also the general demeanour of the safe distancing ambassador. I understand she was only doing her job, but so so many things could have averted this unpleasant incident. Clear posters at the entrance reminding patrons, she on seeing the whole family coming in could have reminded us rather than spending the additional time trying to ambush families for infringements and going into unnecessary entanglements with them.
Everyone is stressed, mental health for many are at the fringe and we are trying to get through it together. It only takes a spark to start a forest fire. These ambassadors are in a delicate position and thankfully most are wonderful as they balance sensitivity with doing their job; this lady I feel fell far below the bar.
EDIT:- I need to leave a note that my issue is with the way the message was communicated and not the message per se. Am sure there are lots of careless people like me in such times of upheaval so sometimes details may slip past us. We are not Badge Persons, so a tactful reminder or a little patience would suffice.
Thank you, Darius, you must be MR EMPATHY PERSONIFIED.
A man was surprised to see offerings burned outside a unit during the 7th month. He said that it could be a fire hazard.
The burning of incense paper is prohibited in HDB common hallways due to the risk of fire. Incense papers should only be burned in incense burners or metal containers issued by the Town Council, according to the Singapore Civil Defence Force’s (SCDF) public fire safety standards.
In his post he said:
“No offence. Is this right? 7th mth offerings in front of door step & ashes blowing into your neighbours’ houses? What if the whole unit catches fire?”
