LIONEL MESSI IN TEARS DURING BARCELONA FAREWELL PRESS CONFERENCE

Footballing legend and icon Lionel Messi is due to depart Barcelona due to league regulations on player registration when he was trying to sign a new contract with the club.

He was seen bawling his eyes out and in tears before and after his speech, as his teammates gave him a rousing standing ovation.

Messi said that after being at Barcelona his whole life, this is really difficult for him and that he is not ready for this.

He said: “My family and I were convinced we were going to stay, that’s what we wanted more than anything. We were at home. Now I have to say goodbye to all of this. I have been here so many years, my entire life, since I was 13. After 21 years, I am leaving with my wife, with my three little Catalan-Argentine kids. I can’t say that we won’t come back because this is our home and I promised my children that.”

He later addressed the fans as well, saying: “It’s been difficult not to have the fans here, to hear them shouting my name. I leave without seeing them for a year and a half. I would have imagined Camp Nou full, close to the fans… saying goodbye properly. But it has to be this way. I want to say again, I am so grateful for all the love I have received here.”

At the time of writing, Messi is strongly linked with a move to French giants Paris St Germain, although he didn’t confirm anything at the moment.

WIFE EARNS $8K SALARY BUT STRESS & HUSBAND DW HER STOP WORKING

Work-life balance is something many said it’s a dream while some other say its important and try to achieve it.

Here is the story:

I am married with two children,2 and 7yo at 37 yo. My hubby who works in government sector find it very hard to switch job to the private sector- he has been working in government after uni graduated and never had private company interviewed him.

He said he will need to take pay cut due to the difference in govt experience which he doesn’t want hence he stop applying for job in the private sector. Then when I stopped working for like 4 months this year, he kept asking me how was my interview – very anxious in me to have a job after leaving my last perm role for 5 years. Even in the past when I did not get promoted hence not much increment and was kind of underpaid he keeps saying why no promotion despite having good performance rating.

Then I just started a new job for 2 weeks, got 70 per pay jump to 8k now but every day I am very stress and tired. Work without much rest or lunch 10 mins got to start my work again yet he prefers me to still work than not working. His salary is 8.5k. If I take an admin job he will say “huh the salary is low leh”. I am really very unhappy every day that I don’t want to play with my kids or keep doing my work even on weekends.

I hope this working in weekend won’t stay long after I have managed to learn the new things in my new job. Will you still stay on to get a good salary though it’s very stress and tired or quit to look for simple low pay job?

I think he wants me to earn high to help him with the finances coz with his salary alone there is no saving every month.

MAN SEEKS GIRL TO BTO WITH HIM TO MAKE MONEY BECAUSE CANT FIND A GF

Hello, guy here 25(M), have never been in a r/s. The most experience I had was bringing the same girl out on a couple of dates. BUT ALL of them led to nothing.i guess i am just very awkward -.-…..

looks-wise, if it matters average to slightly above average? No girl has ever looked at me in disgust before???? soo I guess it’s good.

Now my recent dating experience has traumatized me to the point whereby I think, I will probably be better living a life I want to live than with a girl that I got together because of desperation.

Hence, I have this idea of seeking any asexual female or female who would wanna BTO with me. The BTO purpose is just mainly for investment, we could rent it out or rent an out room(subject to further discussion).

My salary is about 3.5k engineer salary sads I know. Preferably I won’t be staying at the house, I wanna rent it out. Is this generally a good idea? Please genuine advice only, I have asked my friends and family they seem to think that I am too emotional close to this situation to make a sound decision and refuse to give me their opinion.
