SAMBAR DEERS SPOTTED ALONG MANDAI ROAD

0

A netizen managed to film his encounter with Sambar deers along Mandai Road. At least a group of 4 deers were spotted on 10 Feb 2022 at around 2200 HRS.

However, netizens said that the man should not have directly pointed his flashlight at them as these animals reflect light when light shines in their eyes. It might disorient the animal and could even steer them off course and they might end up as roadkill.

MOTHER-IN-LAW ASKS WOMAN TO DIVORCE HER SON, WANTS GRANDKIDS

0

A netizen, Cindy Ong, shared a few screenshots of a Whatsapp conversation with her mother-in-law, lamenting how she married into their “wicked family”.

The mother-in-law, whom she saved as “aunty”, was seen in the messages asking her when is she going to divorce her son, asking her not to “delay my son’s search for his own happiness”.

Cindy then asked her what she meant by that, to which “aunty” then said that she can’t have a grandson for her, and that she “can’t give me a grandson, won’t our family have no descendants?”

The netizen then alluded to her son allegedly beating a woman (the woman who was beaten is presumably Cindy’s mother, as seen from later texts)

Aunty then reasoned that her own husband has also beaten her before, and she asked why Cindy couldn’t “just tolerate him” as his wife.

Cindy then remarked “what a strange family”, to which Aunty said “i don’t ask too much of you, as long as you can give birth to a grandson for me. If you can’t do it, leave the marriage quickly and don’t delay my son.”

She then asked Aunty how she was going to compensate her as her (Cindy’s) mother was beaten by her (Aunty’s) son and sent to the hospital.

Aunty then said “it’s your mother, it has nothing to do with me. I only care if you can give me a grandson.”

GUY FEDUP OF LISTENING TO GF COMPLAINING ABOUT HER NEW JOB

0

A netizen shared how he is fed up of listening to his girlfriend for complaining about her new job all the time, and he wants to tell her that she is a “negative person” to be around with.

Here is the story

How do you tell your partner know she is being a negative person to be around?

For context, she has started working in her new job and has little time for me and we do not meet often (1 or 2 x a month?), but when we do, I am constantly having to listen to her complains that work is stressful or she is checking email and texting her work friends.

When we message and text, it also links back to work and she will comment that she is busy or that she has no time.

I find it affecting the mood of our relationship and I am tired from hearing it, but what could I do, as she says this is normal and I am not understanding?

Netizens’ comments

  • She sounds stressed. Do something nice for her lah! As her partner you should try to cheer her up… not complain about her complaining.
  • Dear OP you are selfish. You just want her to meet you in order to make yourself happy. But have you ever think about her feelings? Such as showing concerns on her work, daily activities and her well being?Relationship is not just about meeting up all the time.
  • When y’all meet up, you try complaining about your work also lah. So the whole date is just the two of you complaining about work the whole time lol…
  • God forbid girlfriends rant about the stresses of new job, because girlfriends supposed to just be happy and ready to serve huh?

ANGRY DRIVER ALIGHTS FROM CAR IN MIDDLE OF THE ROAD TO CHASE CAMCAR

A video emerged online showing a road rage incident between a couple of drivers after one of them didn’t give way to the other, along Punggol Road.

The incident took place on 12 February at about 12.37pm, and was captured on the dashcam of one of the cars.

A black mazda was seen pulling up beside the camcar before signaling to filter right, but the camcar refused to give way and sped up instead, cutting off the Mazda and resulting in the Mazda driver having to brake abruptly.

The Mazda then sped up and stopped in front of the camcar at the next junction and the driver then exits his car, wanting to confront the camcar.

But the camcar sped off as the Mazda driver tried to give chase on foot.

Netizens’ comments

  • There were road works on the left … just ease off abit and let him in.It’s not too difficult – the efforts if you’ve done that would be just a fraction of what this cam car has undertaken.Download video, post on FB and read all comments and messages and made the whole incident unpleasant.Could have been avoided just by easing on the gas.
  • Give way a bit will die ar..?
  • 2 childish drivers. both should be taken off the road for the safety of others.
  • Did I see cam car sped up when the mazda driver tried to filter in… initially quite a big gap.. Mazda.also.. see car behind not safe n giving way for u too filter just stop lor even have obstacles… isnt tt what we learnt during driving sch.. we dont insist our way into another lane… haiizzzz

76 Y.O HOMELESS ELDERLY MAN CRIED WHEN RECEIVING GOODWILL ANG PAO

A Singaporean activist, Gilbert Goh, shared a story about a homeless elderly man rough sleeping in the streets that he met.

Here is the story

Bumped into this 76-year-old rough sleeper when I was about to leave last night for my beauty sleep and the encounter literally changed my life.

It’s the first time I met him and the conversation lasted about 30 minutes with him breaking down midway when I passed him our CNY angbao – this is captured on the video at around the 3rd minute.

He seems cultured and even educated speaking fluently in crisp Mandarin often lamenting his current dilemma but yet emphasizing that he doesn’t want any help despite his situation.

He initially rejected the blanket and jacket before finally accepting after much persuasion.

I was shocked that he broke down in tears when the angbao was passed over as he felt very touched by the gesture – I told him he also moved me to tears as seldom do I see a grown man cried as men don’t cry easily.

He talks non-stop and I tried to listen intently as the night drags on when he related abit about his past and how people can be very cold and calculative.

Something must have happened to him in the past but he didn’t went into details and I never probe further.

I later left him to his sleep not before getting him some bread and a pack of KF 4 masks from the nearby Sheng Siong supermarket.

What turns out to be a routine distribution last night reinforced my belief now that the rough sleepers need more help than we can possibly imagine.

More than that, they also need us to show the human side of us so that they don’t lose hope in humanity.

Many of them lost their homes through personal reasons and they need someone to show them that there is still a reason to live on despite their adversity.

Do something good for Singapore – a charity movement to alleviate the hardships of displaced elderly Singaporeans.

PS: the video is in Mandarin and lasts over six minutes.
