INTERNET CELEBRITY SHARES HOW FAME HAS RUINED HER LIFE

An anonymous internet “celebrity” has shared how her life has been ruined by her internet fame.

Here is the story:

I’m writing this on an anonymous account and this will be the only post on this account since i’m probably not gonna reply to comments, i just want to read them. i am a famous internet personality with millions of followers. i think that internet fame has completely destroyed and degraded every aspect of my life.

i’m pretty sure i’ve started to hate people now. back in school when i actually had real friends i felt happy to be around people. i felt like i had genuine connections with people and they cared about me unconditionally. but now the only ‘friends’ i have are ones that are working in the same field as me. but i see them as more like co-workers than friends.

The worst part is no matter what happens or how i feel about them, i’m forced to be friendly with them. because otherwise fans will assume drama and i don’t want that pressure on the other person. people think that every time someone famous does something there’s an ulterior motive so i have to be conscious of every decision i make making sure that it won’t lead to any unnecessary drama, or damaging to my image.

I feel like i’m not free to make any decisions as a result. it’s become extremely stressful having basic social interactions with people because of this. i haven’t had any luck meeting interesting people who have no idea who i am so making new friends, people i actually want to connect with has been impossible for me.

i genuinely hate talking with other people. i’m so used to thousands of messages from complete strangers judging me or inquiring about my personal life daily that i think it diluted my cognitive capability of basic human interaction.

I genuinely don’t believe human beings are genetically designed to be talking to thousands of strangers every day, in the form of text no-less. what i’m doing is so mentally exhausting to me that it made me believe i will never find happiness, or true love, or start a family and raise children, things that everyone agrees are supposed to be the rules of life.

i’m not even passionate with what i do. it doesn’t make me happy in the slightest. i know that not every fan is some over-obsessive loser. i know that there are good people who like me, but even if i read what they have to say about me i just feel nothing. i constantly say stuff like ‘i love you guys, i wouldn’t be doing this without you’ but it’s almost funny to me now because it’s completely not true. truth is i just do it because i don’t know how to do anything else. i got incredibly lucky and i make a lot of money doing relatively low-skill work and i’m too much of a coward to just abandon it and actually learn something new.

the truth is that i’m kind of a bad person. every time i want to get into a romantic relationship with someone i always feel like they’re with me for money and fame, even when it’s not true. i tried doing some self-reflection and realized that not every person is out to get me or obsessed with internet culture or whatever. the fact that i assume they are is just my own insecurity.

I understand and acknowledge that the problem is me, but that in-turn made me hate myself way more. how am i supposed to be a role model for literally millions of people when i’m this much of a shitty person? i wouldn’t wish for anyone to be anywhere near like me and when i read comments from people saying how i inspire them it honestly makes me sick. i understand that the scale of my problems might not be that sympathetic with a lot of you. i mean, i’m wealthy and the position i have is desirable to most people. i understand that. but i’m not looking for sympathy anyway.

I don’t know what to do. i know that as time goes by i’ll become irrelevant and people won’t care about me anymore, which might seem good, but considering how i literally don’t know what else to do with my life it’s actually terrifying rather than relieving.

SPF WARNS OF LOANSHARKS WITH O$P$ ARTWORK DISPLAY

SPF WARNS OF LOANSHARKS WITH O$P$ ARTWORK DISPLAY

A photo of an artwork advertisement by the Singapore Police Force (SPF) emerged online about staying away from loansharking activities.

The artwork, which came in the form of a standee was seen at Vista Point in Woodlands and it aims to send its direct message of staying away from loansharking activities straight to people who have came across the standee.

It also warns viewers that getting involved with loansharking activities will give them a ‘life they will regret’.

Realistic artwork

The design of the standee seems to show a typical unit in a housing estate with the walls surrounding the entrance of the unit splashed with paint with the typical ‘O$P$’ sign which are typical of disturbance from loansharks.

‘O$P$’ stands for ‘Owe Money, Pay Money’.

On the right of the unit’s entrance, the orange coloured walls seems to depict a fire, which is another typical modus operandi of disturbance by these loansharks.

It came together with a strong message to stay away from ‘Ah Longs’, which is a slang for what loansharks are called right here in Singapore.

People are advised to call 1800-X-AH-LONG (1800-9-24-5664) which is the hotline number to report about loansharking activities should they come across them.

Netizen’s comments

Netizens who saw the standee by the SPF have commented on it and here are some of the comments:

  • It would be more realistic if they splashed the gate itself with red paint.
  • Bicycle chain on gate is a bigger offence. And maybe splash paint not aesthetic haha. Model so visual noisy already haha
  • Nice unit number. Would have been nicer if all 9’s lol
  • This installation is missing the prank grab/foodpanda orders ah long send to the debtor
  • Magnificent piece of avant-grade installation by the SPF. 10/10, Love the dashing contrast of red and black to symbolise the many struggles of life on this little red dot.

Keep away from loansharking activities

The standee might have been eye opening and we hope that it eventually serves its purpose to deter people from borrowing from loan sharks or worse, being a part of them.

GUY COMPLAINS ABOUT NEIGHBOUR HAMMERING FROM 4AM DAILY

GUY COMPLAINS ABOUT NEIGHBOUR HAMMERING FROM 4AM DAILY

A netizen took to social media to complain about his new neighbour starting to do what seems like hammering from 4am onwards daily.

He had just moved in to a resale flat and he claims that this particular neighbour has been hammering from the wee hours for the longest time and he wants to know if there is anyway to soundproof his home from these unwanted noises.

He added that he had asked other neighbours about this commotion that he faced and they have told him that this commotion has been going on for the previous seven to eight years.

Authorities such as the Housing Development Board (HDB) and even the Police have been notified of the commotion but it seemed to be to no avail as they are unable to trace where the sound has come from.

According to the netizen, that particular household causing the commotions have also ignored whatever advisories that was placed up.

Here is the post by the netizen

“I just move to a resale flat and there is a neighbor who start hammering everyday at 4am, 5am. Any way to soundproof the bedrooms? Thanks

To add on.. i asked other neighbour, they tell me this has has been like that for the past 7, 8 years. Hdb, police.. all call already but no use. As they cannot find who is the one hammering… The hammering person ignore the advisory.”

Comments from netizens

Netizens also started to comment on the plight faced by the guy with some of them sharing their own stories about what they have faced themselves and here are some of the comments made by them:

  • It was a ‘thon’ ‘thon’ ‘thon’ sound that I hear every day n I was just wondering what sound that was n it ended up that my neighbor was throwing darts every day! Practices professionally for competitive reason. Cannot help lor cause our rooms are just next to each other. Then one that ring bells for religious reasons. 3x a day ….
  • Sound proofing material wont work effectively as the sound travels through the beams and pillars. Unless you make a floating enclosure with thick foam or vacuum that disengaged from floor,wall, ceiling, pillars and beam.
  • I stay I Condo n the neighbour above does the knocking daily at different times. However, the MCST could not be around when it happens. After several tries, MCST heard it, tried to advise the neighbour , stopped for a while but came back. This time, we went up ourselves n they insisted that they have the right to do whatever they wish in their house and no one can tell them otherwise. Check with legal,. The best is to advise n nothing can be done towards them..

Some pointed out that the sound could be a result of a ‘water hammer’ and proceeded to elaborate on what it is:

  • Does this hammering happens everyday around the same time and continuously for a few minutes? If so, you may be experiencing the effects of a water hammer.It is quite common in some resale flats to experience this.The reason is caused by the way the pipes are joined, creating pockets of air and the hammering worsens as the pressure builds up when the water tanks on the rooftop is full of water (like 4am-6am) as not many ppl using water at these hours.Not sure if this is exactly what you experienced but I hope it helped somewhat. Cheers!

AUNTIE STEALS SILVER UTENSILS FROM NIECE, NIECE CALL POLICE ON HER

AUNTIE STEALS SILVER UTENSILS FROM NIECE, NIECE CALL POLICE ON HER

So I moved into my apartment back in 2020. I keep to a very minimalist lifestyle so I don’t actually own very much at all, but what I do own, I like it to be a good investment for the long run (relevant for later).

I ran into a plumbing issue that wasn’t easy to fix- at least not for me who knows 0 about plumbing. I called my uncle asking if he could help.

He came over with my aunt to take a look at what was going on and… I don’t like her. There are quite a few reasons, she took my grandmother’s ring despite it being willed to me, she pushes over people to get what she wants. She uses her mother’s death as an excuse, always leaving out that her father & she were, according to those who knew them then, exceptionally cruel to the mother.

My uncle used to be really great until she came along, now he bends to her every whim. I digress.

She comes and complains that it looks like I am dirt poor. That I have minimal furnishings and that it looks “uptight”. I say I’d rather make memories than have stuff and leave it there.

Then she notices my silver box I keep my sterling flatware in. Now, this is just me, I spent a good year or so saving money to buy nice flatware. My reasoning was it will grow in value, I can pass it along to my children and it will, or can, last a long time and yes it’s real silver.

She starts asking me what’s in it and I brush her off. She keeps on, as she does, and I say it’s heirlooms (not true but still). She keeps on and on and I break saying it’s flatware.

She then asks me how many places settings and I say I can’t remember. She goes on to say she has this “small” dinner party and can she borrow it and I say no. She pouts the rest of the time.

They leave with my uncle saying he needs a few tools and a specific part to fix my plumbing and he will come back later. I thank him and say bye.

We arrange for about a week later for him to come back with a key I left in the lockbox since I would be working.

I come home. I look around. My damn silver box is missing and I know EXACTLY who it was.

I call the police I give them all the information and show them the photos I took for insurance. Long story short my box was in their dining room when they showed up and my uncle is arrested for theft.

My aunt keeps calling me screeching at me that I am horrible for this and going to hell for giving him a criminal record. I say she should have thought about that before she made him do that not being able to take no as an answer. The silver itself is a rarer pattern and not easily replaceable. She threw my comment back in my face saying “I thought you wanted memories? It’s just stuff”. I hung up on her.

My uncle only did it because of my aunt in my opinion. So I am effectively punishing someone who wouldn’t have done it without the influence. then I get mad all over again and think what a breach of trust it is and feel fine.

Am I wrong for doing so?

For clarification regarding the ring, I’ll just put my comment up here because it got buried:

It went “missing” for quite a while. I didn’t actually know my aunt had taken it until I saw her wearing it at a family function years later.

She tried to play it off that it was a different ring and I didn’t have the money, time or willpower to deal with it at the time with school and everything.

My mom was dealing with cancer and i did not have the energy to deal with her.

GIRL DOESN’T BELIEVE IN GHOSTS, BUT CAN’T EXPLAIN CHILDHOOD INCIDENT

GIRL DOESN’T BELIEVE IN GHOSTS, BUT CAN’T EXPLAIN CHILDHOOD INCIDENT

A netizen shared how she doesn’t believe in ghosts but still can’t find an explanation for something that happened when she was a child.

Here is the story:

I don’t believe much in ghosts, and many ghost encounters I hear of or experience myself. I count them as my hallucination or any coincidence etc.

But still this childhood event doesn’t makes sense to me. I tried to make many assumptions proving it could be my own imagination, but it seemed soo real.

Me and my sister were in our room playing and my father was watching TV and mom was in kitchen area.

It was fine when suddenly my sister saw a white translucent being with a beard and a grin on his face leaving our bathroom (which was inside our room) and moving to the living room.

My sister called me as I was facing backwards to the bathroom, I didn’t clearly see the whole figure just a white part of clothing at the brink of our door so I didn’t completely believe her. After 5 – 10 minutes my father started choking very badly and the creature returned our room this time I left the room earlier but my sister was there.

The creature this time made very evil loud laughter that I heard and my sister then ran out of the room after hearing that. My father after this laughter, started choking badly fainted and mom was outside calling the ambulance on phone.

It’s been years, everything is fine now. My parents are still unaware of any creature or a sound. But if only it was me or my sister alone, I could call it as some imagination. But we both at different place heard it and saw it (although I saw just a part of the creature’s clothes).

We changed our room after that and never used the bathroom. I did use it sometime in daylight but nothing happen. After we left home, the room and bathroom were not in use. Just during monthly cleaning.

One day my mother told us that while they opened the room there were hundreds of lizards on the walls, so many that the wall was barely visible and all in a blink of an eye rushed in a small hole outside like there was nothing before.

WIFE KPKB THAT HUSBAND SCOLD VULGAR, BUT OTHERS SCOLD IT’S OKAY

WIFE KPKB THAT HUSBAND SCOLD VULGAR, BUT OTHERS SCOLD IT’S OKAY

I’m just really confused by this… if I curse or use any vulgar language she gets visibly upset and tells me to stop doing it because she doesn’t like it all. Even if I’m talking to my friends or coworkers she tells me to stop doing it.

Well, this weekend her uni friends came to visit us and they were cursing up a storm. My wife’s friends husband (who she also went to uni with) was telling extremely vulgar stories and my wife was laughing hysterically. Every time he cursed my wife would giggle… She didn’t seem offended at all.. in fact she seem to love how he talked and told stories. If I were to ever say the things he said she would be upset about it for a week straight.

I approached her about it and she said that it’s not her job to correct her friend’s language and that she holds me to a higher standard that’s why she doesn’t want me to curse but it’s ok for her uni friends to use that language.

I completely understand that but that doesn’t really explain why she is visibly upset when I use vulgar language. If you don’t like it when people curse then anyone that curses around you should upset you or at the very least annoy you.

It just seems so weird to me that she is not only ok with her friend’s language but she actually finds it funny and entertaining.

I kept pressing the issue and my wife said that it’s also because she’s known her uni friends longer then she’s known me.. really??? We’ve been together for 4 years.

Is there a 10 year buffering period before I can curse around my wife? …. I’m just confused about all this.

GUY GAVE CHINESE UNCLE $4 ANG PAO AS TIPS, UNCLE STOPPED SMILING

A netizen named Khairii, shared how he went to pump petrol and a Chinese uncle helped him to clean his windscreen, so to thank think and in the spirit of Chinese New Year, he tipped him $4.

Here is the story:

Pump petrol last Saturday and older Chinese uncle helped to clean my windscreen. So, as tips and in the spirit of CNY, decided to give $4 to uncle.

Uncle faced changed from happy, to slightly grumpy.

After I left, I remembered In Chinese culture, giving Ang pow of $4 means wishing death to that person.

I felt guilty and it has been bugging me since.

In this instance, should I:

  1. Ignore, since it’s not my culture and belief anyway.
  2. Return to top up the difference.

Netizens’ comments

  • You deal with your own intention. Let him deal with his own perception.
  • I received many a $4 angbao growing up. I still do from well-wishers.

You were nice, no need to worry about it. I don’t see what’s wrong.

  • Don’t worry too much about it. Even as chinese myself, I also sometime receive $4 red packets.
  • I receive $4 from my close relative. Not sure whether they want me death still lmaaooo

PRC MAN SCARE HIS BOSS GETS HEART ATTACK AS HE QUITS JOB & BALEK KAMPONG

PRC MAN SCARE HIS BOSS GETS HEART ATTACK AS HE QUITS JOB & BALEK KAMPONG

I’m from China and my wife got a job offer in China so we’re very excited to move back home for a new adventure. But it doesn’t seem so for my manager who depends on me a lot at work.

She is sort of a pathological liar. I started working with her two years ago and everyone warned me about it. She really likes me and according to her “I have never trusted anyone I worked with as much as I trust you”. Being in a small department, it’s just the two of us handling all the work and she could be very controlling. Plus all the lies here and there really annoy me on a daily basis and I’m actually very glad that my wife gave me this excuse to resign and leave the company.

The Problem:

She had COVID during Christmas and is currently suffering from some side effects. I forgot the name for it but she has a heart infection with some liquid building up which is pretty dangerous and needs rest so she has been working from home for the past few days.

Yesterday I called her to tell her I quit and before bringing up the subject, naturally, I asked how she was doing and if she was feeling better. She told me that she was still feeling sick and that her chest hurt. Her doctor told her to stay in bed and out of stress for a couple of days.

Then she proceeds to give me an example: “if I get a phone call right now with some bad news I could actually get a heart attack.”

As you can imagine, at that point I started to panic, imagining how my bad news was gonna kill her through the phone.

“So what’s going on? Why are you calling?”

“No no no reason! I just wanted to check on you and see if you were doing any better! Byeeeeee!”

I’ll wait until she gets back maybe next week to tell her in person so I can at least call an ambulance if she does get a heart attack.

FAIRPRICE FISH LABELED “296 GRAMS”, MAN WEIGHED IT – 176 GRAMS”

Following the Chicken saga of the Tiktoker, another video has emerged on the internet, a netizen took a piece of salmon and weigh it at the vegetable weighing scale.

This time a man recorded a Tiktok video and alleged that the label on the fish which included the packaging was still underweight.

The label stated that the slice of fish is 296 grams, but the scale in NTUC only shows it to be 176 grams. Which is about 120 grams less than stated on the label.

The video has gone viral on Tiktok and viewed over 5,000 times on Facebook.

Facebook user posted the video on Facebook and said:

“We all can understand sometimes staff prints/pastes wrong label.But this isn’t the first? The “apology” or rather statement by “ntuc FAIRprice” on the chicken saga- was bad. Really poor. Is it only in Singapore customers are always wrong? I would encourage people to confirm and check the weight of products purchased.“

Here is the video:

The video also included text stating “NTUC AMK 7 FEB 2022”.
