WIFE KEEP “FORGETTING” HER WALLET SO SHE DON’T NEED TO PAY FOR MEALS

WIFE KEEP “FORGETTING” HER WALLET SO SHE DON’T NEED TO PAY FOR MEALS

I usually go out with my wife about every Friday night. When we were dating she very commonly forget to bring her purse or money at all so I would for her but I’ve been doing this for years and I have reached my absolute limit. I’ve been frustrated paying for her before but I never said anything as I didn’t her to think I was selfish.

About a week ago we decided to go eat at a family restaurant with my wife and stepdaughter. In the car, I asked her if she brought any money and she said that she didn’t so I told her to go into the house before we leave and bring some cash. She went in and claimed she brought her purse with cash inside.

At the restaurant we receive our bill and what do you know my wife left her purse in the car. I told her to go bring and gave her the keys. She said it wasn’t in there. I went to check myself and it’s really not there. She looks embarrassed at our table and asks her own daughter to pay for her meal. My stepdaughter was going to do it but I told her to leave it as I would pay.

I told my wife this was the last straw and that she was intentionally doing this.

She denied my accusations and said to keep it down but the minute we got in the car she called me an asshole for just not paying. I responded with the fact that she 100% had the money to pay as she worked a good job and that this was ridiculous. She said I was still being a dick and I needed to think about I just said. I don’t think I did anything wrong.

Here are what netizens think:

  • If you had a problem with this thing she did frequently while you were dating, why did you marry her? Why go for public embarrassment instead of just talking to her? Way to address this in the most passive-aggressive way possible.
  • I know right! Normal husband: chat to your wife at home about wanting to budget together better. This guy : humiliate her in a restaurant in front of her kid, to prove a point
  • She humiliated herself by lying. She said she had her purse. He trusted her at her word. She lied and got caught in a lie. He didn’t say he embarrassed her before when he “knew” she didn’t have her purse. But this time he “thought” she had it, because he specifically “asked” her to bring it and she said she “did” bring it. She “lied.”

MOH: ART KITS RELEASED TO RETAILERS LAST WEEK AMIDST SHORTAGE

The Ministry of Health (MOH) said in a statement that the Government had released the built-up stockpile of Antigen Rapid Test (ART) kits to retailers from last week amidst a current shortage in supplies in the outlets.

In response to media queries, MOH also said that the Government is working closely with retailers in its plan to secure adequate ART kits for all as the world and Singapore now faces a surge in demand for the kits.

A stockpile has been kept by the Singapore Government to be released to suppliers only when there is shortage.

This stockpile will also see to the event of a sudden increase in demand or shortage of kits.

ART kits sold out in many stores last week

Following a surge in cases due to the Omicron variant, ART kits were sold out in many retailers in Singapore last week.

MOH also added that the demand in ART kits shows that the population in Singapore have a high need for testing as the pandemic goes on.

This is because the population has also taken on greater social responsibility as more and more people are doing self-testing more regularly.

Ever since the ART kits were available for sale in pharmacies in June 2021, almost 9 million kits have been sold.

Previous distribution of kits to all households

The Government had held two nationwide distribution exercises last year between August to September and November to December which saw 25 million ART kits being given out.

Every household in Singapore received 16 ART kits in total.

Urges more regular self-testing

MOH also advised the public to conduct more regular self-testing as the Omicron wave continues as it can help to relieve the strain that the healthcare system will face and also reduce the risk of the virus transmitting.

They should also do so especially before they visit crowded places or interact with groups who are more susceptible.

MOH also added that they will ensure that the supply level of ART kits remain at a healthy rate while they continue to review their strategies.

BANGKOK TO CHANGE NAME TO KRUNG THEP MAHA NAKHON

According to an article by the Bangkok Post, The Office of the Royal Society (ORST) made an announcement that will see Bangkok, Thailand’s capital, adopting a new name, Krung Thep Maha Nakhon.

Approved by Thai cabinet

This was after Thailand’s cabinet approved a draft from the Prime Minister’s Office on updated names which are proposed by the ORST on countries, territories, capitals and administrative zones.

The official new name of Krung Thep Maha Nakhon, is still pending the vetting by a committee who will scrutinise the draft bills.

The Foreign Affairs Ministry of Thailand has also made additional observations, which the cabinet has asked the committee to consider.

Thailand’s cabinet had approved the announcement during their weekly meeting held on Tuesday and it said that the updates are made to be in line with the current situation.

This draft announcement will revoke the Prime Minister’s previous announcement dated on 9 Nov 2001, and will use the ORST’s announcement on updated names of 1 Sept 2021.

Other updated names

Names of capitals of other countries have also been updated in this same announcement such as changing Italy’s capital from Rome to Roma, Myanmar’s capital from Yangon to Nay Pyi Taw and the Kingdom of Nepal has also been changed to the Federal Democratic Republic of Nepal.

Krung Thep Maha Nakhon will be used as its official name but the name Bangkok will still be recognised.

The Facebook page of the Office of the Royal Society added that both names can be used as the announcement had drew widespread criticism from the public.

Bangkok has been used for 21 years

The name, Bangkok, has been used for 21 years dating back to Nov 2001 in the previous announcement by the Office of the Royal Society.

The name came from a smaller area in the capital which is now part of Bangkok Noi and Bangkok Yai districts.

It has also been in used for a very long time historically.

CYNTHIA KOH CALLS OUT PATIENT SCREAMING AT NURSE ABOUT HDMI CABLE

CYNTHIA KOH CALLS OUT PATIENT SCREAMING AT NURSE ABOUT HDMI CABLE

47 year old Cynthia Koh, a local actress shared a few Instagram stories about a ‘self-entitled’ patient she encountered while she was being hospitalised at Mount Alvernia Hospital.

She had been admitted to the hospital on 29 January 2022 for having a high fever which later turned out to be pelvic inflammatory disease.

In her Instagram stories, she shared that the ‘self-entitled’ patient was being an ‘S-hole’ and was not being kind to ladies because he was screaming and making unreasonable demands even late into the night, at 12:30am

She adds on that this was due to the patient’s HDMI cable being unable to connect to the television and even though they were admitted into different rooms in the ward, she could still hear him while she was in her room.

The nurse who was screamed at then came to Koh’s room to hook her up to the IV machine but forgot to switch it on, clearly shaken by the patient’s incessant screaming.

However, he discharged from the hospital and went to another hospital the next day.

Urges people to put self entitlement issues away

Koh added another story looking to remind people that they are at a hospital instead of a hotel and says that the hospital is a place for recuperation and it is not a place for partying or to be served.

She urges all who have self-entitlement issues to them at the ‘excess baggage counter’ as it is not needed.

She adds that she will not describe the patient but says that it is ‘shame on him’ for being unkind to the nurses and being an ‘S-hole’ to the ladies.

Wants people to understand healthcare workers

Another story which Koh shared was aimed at letting the general public understand the sacrifices which the healthcare workers have put in the past few years ever since the pandemic started.

She mentions that it is not just about ‘paying them’ anymore and says that money cannot buy the time and effort that they have expended which could have been put for better use such as adequate rest, spending time with loved ones and celebrating the festivities with them.

WILD BOARS SCAVENGING FOOD ON GARBAGE BAGS FOR FOOD @ CCK HDB

Acres recently posted a video on Facebook of a wild board digging through and biting open trash bags to find food.

Acres urge residents to properly dispose of their garbage as it will attract wild boars.

Here is what ACRES said:

MANAGING FOOD WASTE IS THE FIRST STEP TO COEXISTENCEWe have been alerted to sightings of a wild pig at Petir Road (Bukit Panjang area) who is growing accustomed to the food waste from bins that are not wildlife proof.Sadly, there have been two similar cases in Choa Chu Kang area due to overflowing food waste and people feeding him/her. Both were eventually captured by the authorities (and euthanised) due to complaints from residents/town council on safety concerns.Interactions with a conditioned wild pig by the unaware public can result in potential conflict situations.Can we prevent this from happening at Bukit Panjang too? Can you please share with your friends who live in this area to follow Wildlife Etiquette?

NG ENG HEN RATES HIS RECENT COVID INFECTION AS BEING A “5 OUT OF 10”

Singapore’s Minister of Defence Ng Eng Hen said on 16 February that he rated his recent Covid-19 infection as 5 out of 10, comparing it to other flu that he had gone through over the last 20 to 30 years.

Ng was speaking at the National Museum of Singapore where he was visiting a World War 2 exhibition.

Ng had tested positive on an ART test on 4 February and he said that the world symptoms that he had during his Covid infection were a really bad sore throat as well as a high fever on the 2nd and 3rd day.

He said that by the 6th or 7th day, he was bouncing back and had already gone on back to his exercise regime, revealing that his run timings at the moment are similar to before his infection.

Ng then gave advice for those who have been infected with Covid-129 recently, telling them to “listen to what your mother and what your wife says. Whatever tonics they want to give you, just accept it willingly and hope it works”‘.

He then added that apparently soups and lozenges help with the symptoms.

Ng said that if he had gotten the original wild type two years ago, or even Delta, he would’ve been worried; and that he feels the vaccinations and booster jabs have made an illness that is otherwise life-threatening, a manageable and mild one.

MAN SPED AT 201KM/HR BECAUSE DRUNK WIFE “TRIED TO DO SOMETHING FUNNY”

A 34-year-old man, Allan Ong, was fined $1,000 and banned from driving for 9 months on 16 February after he admitted to going beyond the legal speed limit of 90km/hour.

He was speeding at 201km/h along the East Coast Parkway on 3 September 2020 at about 10.30pm.

When questioned by a police officer about the incident 4 days later, Ong denied knowing who was the driver of the speeding vehicle.

Two charges of providing false information to a public servant and not wearing a face mask were considered during his sentencing.

Ong was asked by District Judge Salina Ishak why he was speeding at 201km/h and what he was trying to achieve, to which Ong replied that his drunk wife was “trying to do something funny”.

He was then scolded by the judge for putting both their lives in danger, and Ong then apologised for his actions.

Ong then pleaded for leniency, saying that he is a father of 4 and the sole breadwinner of the family and that his license had already been suspended for 18 months.

The judge imposed the maximum fine to Ong, noting that he was driving 111km/h above the speed limit of 90km/h

LAST DITCH EFFORTS OF DRUG TRAFFICKERS TO ESCAPE EXECUTION DISMISSED

LAST DITCH EFFORTS OF DRUG TRAFFICKERS TO ESCAPE EXECUTION DISMISSED

Two last-ditch attempts by a couple of convicted drug traffickers to escape their death sentences were dismissed by the Court of Appeal yesterday (16 February).

Roslan Bakar, a 51-year-old Singaporean; and Pausi Jefridin, a 37-year-old Malaysian, were sentenced to death in 2010, and over the years, they have challenged their death sentence without success.

Their lawyer, Charles Yeo, filed a criminal motion 2 days before their scheduled execution and asked the Court of Appeal for a review of their death sentence decision of 2018.

The motion was heard by the 3-judge apex court on Tuesday (15 February) and dismissed.

Yeo then applied to the High Court to commence judicial review proceedings, declaring the death sentence as unconstitutional and it was heard and dismissed by the High Court yesterday morning, but a temporary stay of execution was granted and it is pending appeal.

The appeal was then heard yesterday afternoon by a 3-judge apex court and dismissed, with Mr Yeo arguing that both Roslan and Pausi were intellectually disabled.

Senior State Counsel Francis Ng cited a previous judgment in written submissions and said that it doesn’t benefit anyone for there to be an endless inquiry with the same raised hopes and dashed expectations, and he called the endeavor “fruitless”.

Rosland and Pausi were both charged for trafficking 96.07 grams of heroin on 14 June 2009 and were convicted and sentenced to death on 22 April, after a 15-day trial.

An appeal was filed and it was then heard and dismissed on 17 March 2011, and Rosland then filed an application for a retrial on 30 January 2015, which was dismissed on 30 November 2011.

The argument from both men was that they were suffering from an abnormality of the mind, and a defense psychiatrist then assess Pausi’s IQ to be 67, while Roslan was then assessed by another psychiatrist to be borderline intelligent.

On 13 November 2017, The High Court then found that both men had displayed competence and comprehension of what they were doing at the time of the offence.
