WOMAN GIVES BIRTH IN TAXI, DRIVER HOPES TO REACH OUT TO FAMILY

A taxi driver with 24 years of experience had his first-time experience of a woman giving birth in his taxi.

Here is what ComfortDelgro said:

When Cabby Tan Boon Hoe picked up a couple in the wee hours of the morning of 13 January, he didn’t expect his taxi would double up as a delivery ward!

Cabby Tan had picked the couple up from Ubi at about 4am. They wanted to go to the KK Women’s and Children’s Hospital as the pregnant lady passenger appeared to be experiencing acute abdominal pain. But, halfway into the journey, her water bag broke and she shouted “the baby is coming out!”

Cabby Tan initially panicked but managed to calm down to suggest going to Parkway East Hospital instead, which was about 10 minutes away. They agreed. Cabby Tan drove swiftly to the hospital, and when they arrived, the husband called for the nurses and doctor, who came out to deliver the baby in the taxi. The whole process took about 15 minutes but to Cabby Tan, it felt like a lifetime!

The husband later thanked Cabby Tan and even tipped him. The Company also compensated Cabby Tan for the time he took to clean up the taxi.

In his 24 years of taxi-driving experience, this was the first time that Cabby Tan had witnessed a child birth in his taxi. He said: “Luckily, we got to the hospital in time even though the delivery had to take place in my taxi. It was a very special moment for me to witness a miracle in times like these – like a promise of a new life.”

As it was a street hail trip and everything happened so quickly, Cabby Tan could not get the couple’s contact before they were quickly escorted into the hospital. But, he hopes to be able to find out how they and their newborn are doing.

He added: “It will really be nice to know they are well and also if the birth certificate actually says ‘born in taxi’!”

The Company also hopes to get in touch with the family. If you happened to be the couple who had delivered your baby in Cabby Tan’s SH6627K taxi, please contact our Customer Service team at 6552 4525 or [email protected].

CHICKENS SPOTTED CROSSING ROAD IN AMK AND FLYING AWAY

Stray cats are a common sight in HDB estates but animals like chickens are hardly seen.

The old joke of why did the chickens cross the road became a reality as three chickens were spotted casually strolling across the road.

Only to fly away when the cars come. Alot of people think that chickens cannot fly but this is a common misconception. Chickens can fly but for a short distance and height.

  • Three roosters illegal crossed through the road before reaching the divider and trying to find something to eat on the centre divider grass.

40 Y.O SINGLE WOMAN STRUGGLING TO FIND FRIENDS DURING PANDEMIC

40 Y.O SINGLE WOMAN STRUGGLING TO FIND FRIENDS DURING PANDEMIC

I’m 40F, with a well paying job, single with no commitments so money was never an issue. I don’t need a man to take care of me. I have no interest in settling down and the maternal instinct just never kicked in. I’m happy being single. I’ve had a few relationships over the years but never got to the proposal stage with a guy. Sometimes I do feel lonely. I also have friends with benefits and one night stands to ease through the times when I need some comfort. I feel that since I’m single I don’t need to answer to anyone about how I live my life.

Because of my interests and lifestyle habits, most of my friends are guys and most are married. I do talk about my S life with a few of them whom I’m close to. What I cannot stand is some of these wives of my friends openly show that they don’t like me.

Since covid I also feel like all these social contacts have been conveniently cut off by some of these women. I used to be one of the few females among the guys when we hang out. I’ve met their wives in the past but somehow never seem to blend in. I find this is ridiculous. Just because I choose not to settle down and bear children, I am being outcast. Why can’t I be friends with whoever I want without being judged? I did accidentally got a little too close to one of my friends but nothing happened. Nothing started so there was nothing to end. I didn’t think it was a big deal until I notice I was excluded a few times. Why is a little mistake amplified into such a ridiculous situation?

He got to keep our group of friends while I got kicked out. I knew these people for over 10 years and 1 little mistake completely wiped away my presence in the group while he get to behave like nothing is wrong.

Try being 40 and single before you tell me it’s easy to find new friends during covid.

COVID 19 PANDEMIC DECLARED OVER, ALMOST ALL RESTRICTIONS LIFTED IN SWEDEN

COVID 19 PANDEMIC DECLARED OVER, ALMOST ALL RESTRICTIONS LIFTED IN SWEDEN

The government of Sweden has removed almost all of their Covid-19 restriction on 9 February and halted most of their testing, with some scientists asking the government to be more patient in fighting the pandemic amidst the increasing pressure on their healthcare system.

The Swedish government announced last week that they would remove the remaining restrictions as their severe cases and deaths have been softened by the less severe Omicron variant as well as their high vaccination rates.

Lena Hallengren, the Minister of Health for Sweden, said: “As we know this pandemic, I would say it’s over.”

She added, “It’s not over, but as we know it in terms of quick changes and restrictions, it is.”

Bars and restaurants have been allowed to remain open after 11pm as of Wednesday, and the number of guests has not been limited as well.

The attendance limits for larger indoor venues have also been lifted, along with the use of vaccine passes.

Sweden’s healthcare is currently feeling the strain at the moment with about 2,200 people infected and needing hospital care, and with free testing being reduced earlier this month, the exact number of cases at the moment is currently unknown.

Umea University’s professor Fredrik Elgh, said that the disease is still a huge strain on society and that they should have a little more patience and wait at least a couple more weeks.

WIFE DID NOT ON VIRTUAL BACKGROUND, EVERYONE SEES HUSBAND IN BOXERS

A guy shared a story of how his wife did not turn on her zoom background while in a meeting one day when he thought that she did and he ended up walking around behind her in the room with only his boxers on and everyone in the meeting got a free show.

He mentions he felt that he needed to apologise to everyone who he gave a free show to and luckily for him his wife is not too upset about him doing such an embarrassing thing even though it was not on purpose.

Here is the story

“My wife and I are painting our bedroom so I decided to sleep in our home office and let my wife take the guest room with the dogs.

I generally sleep in my boxers as I find it more comfortable. I woke up this morning with her already in a zoom meeting in our home office and thought I was being extra careful and kept quiet while sneaking out of our office and to get my day started.

I proceeded over to my room to get a fresh set of clothes before going to the shower but less than a minute later my wife sends me a text saying her camera was on without any virtual zoom background and I had literally given a free show to all of her colleagues who were in the meeting.

Needless to say, my wife was pretty embarrassed and apologised to everyone who saw it.

I felt bad that my wife had to apologise to everyone and am considering to apologise to everyone on her meeting the next day by appearing at the meeting on the screen beside my wife to send my personal apologies.

The good news is that wife isn’t too upset has but now has implemented a new rule that I have to put on clothes at every moment when I step into our home office.”

GUY ASKS IF HE SHOULD ASK HIS GF TO PAY RENT FOR STAYING AT HIS HOME

GUY ASKS IF HE SHOULD ASK HIS GF TO PAY RENT FOR STAYING AT HIS HOME

A netizen asked if he should start asking his girlfriend to pay rent for living in his house.

Here is the story:

Hi – I want to start by saying I haven’t asked my partner this question yet, I just want to be sure that I am not being a jerk when I do.

I will preface this with some context:

I bought my first property in 2020, I am the sole owner and pay the mortgage and all the other bills myself.

My partner and I have lived together for a year and a half. When we first moved in I paid for everything because she was too unwell to work and I wanted to support her enough that me paying for her expenses seemed fair enough given her situation, plus I could just about afford it.

Since then my partner has started working part-time so we agreed it was fair for her to start paying for her half of the utilities.

The washer-dryer within the flat broke the other day and she said “well it’s not for me to help pay to fix it, it’s your flat”, which didn’t sit right with me as she uses it too so it didn’t seem fair.

This essentially renders me her ‘rentless landlord,’ as I have landlord-type responsibilities, (pay for anything broken, upgrades to the property etc. which she’s voiced she shouldn’t pay for), and cater for her in the flat whilst she pays for none of it.

Would it be fair to ask for rent? Only something like about $300 to $400 for me to squirrel into a shared pot, which I’d contribute to also, to do things like improve the flat or repair the things that are broken/ugly.

I want to make clear I do NOT want to profit off of my partner. I just think it’s unfair that she’s paying living in the same home as me, enjoys the same benefits of a tenant and I accept all of the risk for anything that breaks/changes whilst she lives here.

Netizen’s comments

The fact that you housed her for over a year yet she feels no obligation to help with a broken appliance shows her level of entitlement.

She isn’t willing to do a fraction of what you did for her. If I were you I would be rethinking this entire arrangement. Asking for rent is perfectly reasonable, she isn’t your dependent or your responsibility.

And if she is unwilling to do that then ask yourself if that’s the type of woman you want as a long term partner.

GUY ENCOURAGES GF TO GO FOR ANOTHER GIRL, REGRETS IT

A guy shared a story of how he is currently together with a girlfriend who have recently came out and told him that she swings both ways and he had encouraged her to go for another girl as he thinks that it is kind of hot and does not see it as cheating.

He also felt that she will not take his word seriously and he feels that she will never do it.

His girlfriend eventually took his word for real and one day had relations with another girl, which made the guy jealous and full of regret.

He had been together with her for three years before all these had happened.

Here is the story

“So, my gf and I have been dating for 3 years, and she told me that she’s a bi, but I never believed her, and used to tease her about it.

She asked me one day if i would be okay if she had intimate relations with another girl, and me, being the dummy I am, dared her to it….

I thought that she will not take me seriously and that she will never do it.

Last night she was partying with two of her friends at her home. They got a little drunk. She called me up at night, said that she missed me, and that she was really in the mood.

Next day she rubs it in my face that she had intimate relations with another woman and told me that she had been setting it up for a month, and they had been making out in the toilets of their office building and at the back of their rides on cab or Grab.

I am so confused, I felt cheated on, but I was the dummy who dared her to do it.”

GUY HATES PEOPLE, WALKS 10KM A DAY JUST TO SPEND 1 HOUR BY HIMSELF

A netizen shared how he hates people and loves being alone, and that he walks 10km a day just to spend about an hour by himself.

Here is the story

I hate people. Just in general. Every day I go to work and am physically repulsed by people, I spend most of my time outside of work alone and love every second of it.

I walk 10km a day just to spend an hour or 2 in complete solitude. I work in customer service (unfortunately, pay is good though) and damn, I wanna punch every person that comes in (I won’t, that would be rude).

I got friends and people close to me that I enjoy being around but bugger me, I can’t stand other people.

I’m not sad or anything like that, just don’t like people. Perhaps I’ll come around one day but I doubt it.

Rant over. Peace.

Netizens’ comments

I used to feel this way about people too. I realized that it was just making me miserable. People are just scared, selfish animals, in general.

When I stopped expecting them to be something more than animals, I stopped being frustrated and disappointed by them.

People are going to continue to be what they are, no matter how you feel about that. You might as well stop letting that make you miserable.

GIRL STRUGGLES AS HER DATE HAS YET TO DIVORCE

GIRL STRUGGLES AS HER DATE HAS YET TO DIVORCE

I’ve been seeing this guy for a few months. He said he wants to date casually because he’s in the process of getting a divorce.

But he asks me to hang out probably 5 or 6 days a week. We’ve been very vulnerable with each other and are definitely sharing a connection. He invited me over to have dinner with him so he could cook his mom’s favourite meal, it was the anniversary of her death.

He tells me how wonderful I am all the time. He’s cried in front of me talking about vulnerable things. But he still says we are dating casually and he does not want to be monogamous. I am invested at this point. I have feelings for him that I may have never felt in my whole life. At this point, I feel like I am being led on or he just doesn’t know what he wants or feels. I want to communicate this to him but I don’t know how or when. His words do not match his actions. I can tell that he cares for me and feels the same connection that I do. I don’t want to give him an ultimatum. Maybe I should tell him I just need to back off for a little while? I dont know what to do.

I just sent him this text message – I need to take a step back here and establish a boundary. Your actions do not match your words (we are NOT dating casually) and I need to protect my heart.

His response: I understand. I do really like you and enjoy your company. I am not trying to confuse you or mess with your heart. I do actually think about you and how you are doing. I consider you to be a wonderful person that I like spending time with. Honestly out of anyone i have met on that silly app you are the only one i feel that way about. Me not wanting to commit has nothing to do with “getting laid” or wanting to date around. Relationship is exhausting.

I guess I should follow your advise as well. I don’t like the thought of you dating other people but I also know that I am still a basket case from my divorce. The last thing I want is to bring any of that baggage to you. It has been wonderful spending time with you and I guess that is providing (selfishly) me a level of comfort. Can we get together tonight or tomorrow and discuss in person? I feel like intentions get lost over text.

Then he just said he’s falling for me too. Now I’m so freaking confused.
