A post recently appeared on Facebook showing a guy’s introduction to a girl on an unknown social dating app.
In the introduction, the guy appears to hint the girl that he is into hardcore as he mentions that he is “more of those hardcore guy” and that he is someone that “come very hard” on himself.
Geddit? He comes very hard on himself.

Recently, a girl shared on Facebook about her ordeal with the Foodpanda Help Center.
The girl had initially ordered a packet of rice with a set of dried chilli live frog, but the restaurant called her to say that they have ran out of frogs for her frog porridge.
The restaurant told the girl that they are unable to offer any refund but can do a small portion for her.
However, the smaller portion won’t be enough for her to share with her family, so she decided to ask Foodpanda to help her to cancel the order.
Foodpanda however, does not seem to be listening to the girl as seen in the conversation. They seem to only be interested in brushing the girl off and closing the case.
They told the girl that since something (the rice) is being delivered, they cannot cancel the order and the girl still has to pay for the rice.
The Customer service agent even told the girl that “we all have bad days” and “hope you are understanding this”

An anonymous grab driver recently shared with us on how this COVID-19 pandemic has actually helped him make more than what he made previously before the pandemic.
Before the pandemic, he averages about $300 a day but with the current situation, the bare minimum he claims that he can hit is $600 a day.
Driver wakes up to send kids to school at around 6.45am in the morning, he then proceeds to buy his daily coffee and breakfast and has his meal and a cigarette.
He then starts his first job as a mobile swabber. He collects his deployment and swab test kits at around 8.30 am in the morning, and sets out to his first house to conduct the swab test.
He gets paid about $40-$55 per location he goes to, and an additional $15-$20 per head at the location where he conducts his swab.
He gets an average of about 10 sites a day, making him about $400-$550. This is done by 1.00pm to 2.00pm.
After his swab job, he ferries quarantined personnel from their home to their swab tests or to the Government Quarantine Facilities (GQF).
This pays him an average of $30/hour or $55 per trip, depending on the number of jobs he manages to bid.
At the end of the day after disinfecting his vehicle, he will do a few Grab/Gojek trips just to ensure that there is a sufficient amount of money for the rental companies to deduct the rent.
He claims to make an average of $600 a day if he is lazy, and he can make up to almost a $1000 a day if he is more hardworking and takes on more swab assignments or fetch more quarantined personnel.
He secretly hopes that this pandemic will last longer, so that he can make more money for himself and his family.
Another family member of Joseph Schooling, this time his cousin, @peiyenleong on instagram has wrote a post dedicated to his fighting spirit.
She reminds us also that behind all his triumphs and failures, he is also only human.
“What people see: a lost match, a failed mission to the nation, a disappointing minute, a chance to join the bandwagon and speak their two cents with mean disheartening comments.
What I see is a guy who had every possible obstacle thrown to him over the years and he faced them with a strong front and mind.
A guy who is just like any one of us, who has good and bad days in life.
A guy who I proudly call him family any time, any day – whether he’s at the top or bottom, Olympic pool or home, swimmer or not, he will always be my couz. And I’m so proud of him.”

A video was uploaded on multiple social media sites after two elderly men were seen crossing the zebra crossing without stopping.
The man even held up his hand so that vehicle will notice him.
However, from the angle that the car approach he will not be able to see the cyclist as the cam-car is blocked the view. He should slow down when there is an obstruction of view on the road.
The vehicle failed to slow down and the man was sent flying. At the same time, the cyclist should have dismount and look out for traffic before crossing.
A story was shared online about a young punk that thinks that investing in cryptocurrency is easy.
I am 22 this year, I started trading cryptocurrency and stocks recently and made a windfall of about $8000, I only started with $500 and it only took me less than 1 month to earn this amount.
That made me feel that many people said that trading is difficult is not true.
I got confident and threw the $8000 I made back into trading and $2000 dollars more into my trader account. I let greed too over logic and I lost almost all of it within a week. I kind of regret what has happened but I think there is no such thing as 100% bad, as I will learn something from this lesson.
All in all, I only lost $2,500 of my own money. It still pains me to lose that $8,000 profit.
What was worse is I told my friend’s how easy it was and two of them also ended up with the same as me losing most of what I put in. This is what I feel the worst about.
But still not my problem, I shared their choice to put money in.

In the wake of the Kris Wu scandal, where he was recently arrested over multiple allegations of rape from multiple woman; Singaporean singer JJ Lin has distanced himself from the saga and issued a legal statement on Weibo.
The statement was issued by Shanghai Jiuze Law Firm on the behest of Lin, who slammed those who were spreading the false and malicious rumours, including the IDs of 28 online accounts that conveyed the allegations.
The statement is essentially saying that the listed accounts above have spread false statements against Lin through slander, and that they are launching personal attacks in an intentional attempt to defame him.
They were strongly urged to stop their allegations and delete them.
Lin has reportedly authorised the firm to collate evidence and take immediate legal actions.
A few China media outlets have claimed previously that Wu name-dropped other male celebrities in an attempt to “cover his backside”, with JJ Lin and Will Pan being among those who were allegedly mentioned.
Pan has also refuted the claims and posted a legal statement as well, demanding for a public apology as well as the deletion of the allegations.
