GIRL ALMOST FELL FOR SCAM ALLEGING HER PERSONAL PHOTOS WERE SHARED

A 22-year-old TikTok user, Glennice Tong, posted a video to warn others about a phishing scam that she almost fell for recently.

In her TikTok video that she posted on 27 January, Tong said that she almost fell for the scam as it was “pretty convicting”, and that she had received a DM on Instagram alleging that her photos were being shared on a “private Telegram group”.

The anonymous user told her that they had already “helped her report” the group but advised her to report the group herself nevertheless.

Tong then asked them for screenshots, to which she was told that they didn’t have them as the group was already reported.

The user then told her that the group was sharing “screenshots of chats” between her and “some guy” and alleged that the group was a new one that was created by the admins of SG Nasi Lemak.

Tong was then sent a link to a website and told to key in her phone number for a “code” that will be sent to her via SMS, and she would then be required to enter her number and the code to attain access.

She then asked why they needed an external site, to which the user said that they were trying to be discreet.

0

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement released yesterday (6 February) that Singapore President Halimah Yacob visited Beijing, China from 3 February to 6 February to attend the Winter Olympic Games after being invited by Chinese President Xi Jinping.

Halimah congratulated China on their successful hosting of the Winter Olympic Games and during the meeting between the two presidents, they agreed that both countries should continue to improve on their bilateral relations by working closely together.

Both leaders affirmed that both countries should step up on collaboration on areas such as the government to government projects in Suzhou, Tianjin and Chongqing, which are progressing well, according to MFA.

The two leaders also looked forward to the resumption of air connectivity as well as working more closely together in areas like the digital economy, the green economy and smart cities.

President Halimah also met up with Li Keqiang, the Chinese premier, on 5 February, where she appreciated the “unifying power” of the Olympic games that seek to unite athletes around the world on a goal towards sporting excellence and sportsmanship.

Here is her Facebook statement in full

Met Premier Li Keqiang in Beijing and affirmed the strong ties between both countries as seen from the good momentum in bilateral cooperation, including in new collaboration areas such as the digital and green economy and sustainable development.

Singapore and China share many areas of commonalities in our development strategies, especially in the pursuit of innovative, sustainable and inclusive development for the benefit of our peoples.

We look forward to greater collaboration as both countries work towards post-pandemic recovery.

I also attended the welcome banquet hosted by President Xi Jinping and Mdm Peng Liyuan. I took the opportunity to catch up with King Norodom Sihamoni of Cambodia and Prince Albert II of Monaco, who were seated beside me.

I last met King Norodom at the Conference on Dialogue of Asian Civilisations two years ago in Beijing and am glad to meet up with him again.

GIRL TRYING TO LOSE WEIGHT BUT HER FAMILY KEEPS BUYING HER SWEET TREATS

0

A girl shared how she is trying to lose weight but finds it hard because her family keeps buying her goodies and she can’t control herself and eats it.

Here is the story

Trying to lose weight but my family don’t make it easy

I’ve been trying to lose weight for what seems like forever. When I had gone to uni it was fairly easy because I could order everything I needed and I cooked for myself and the fridge was filled with only healthy things – no distractions.

At home, we know we should eat healthier. We try but most times my parents show lots of their love by buying us sweet treats. It’s a wonderful gesture and I appreciate them for doing their best all the time and perhaps they’re happy to buy these goodies for us.

However, it doesn’t make it easy for me at all. I have no clue why I have zero self control and each time I want to stick to a strict diet, there’s no veg in the house, or they’d come home from shopping and bring some sweet treats and bread.

My sister doesn’t want to join the weight loss and healthy lifestyle as well so I feel less motivated. I’m not blaming her. Just explaining how the circumstances make it a little harder for me.

I depend on the food they bring because my salary doesn’t pay enough to do weekly shopping and make a saving whilst paying off 3 debts, and I can’t help but be influenced by the food in our shared fridge.

Any tips on how I can get better/stronger to ignore the unhealthy food in the fridge? I’m becoming frustrated that I can never reach my goal because I’m that mentally weak.

WOMAN SHOCKED BY AMOUNT OF RUBBISH IN CHANGI BAY PARK

A woman recorded a 2 minutes video of her taking a scroll for a short distance and was astounded by the amount of rubbish along the Changi Bay Park Connector.

In her, 2-minute video, at least a few hundred individual items of garbage were spotted, mostly plastic bottles, food wrappings and many more.

Despite the beautiful scenery, the place is kind of turned off with the amount of garbage that is left behind.

Penalties:

Anyone found convicted of littering within a nature reserve, national park, or public park can be fined up to SGD$5,000.

Here are what netizen thinks:

  • Sad to see this. Singapore has been named as City Garden. To keep the environment clean and neat is part of our responsibility but many people are didn’t do that.
  • This is the problem that Singaporean wants to hear n see good things about Singapore.Everythings you see or heard are just a one sided and if you flip or turn over the other side, things will look different from what you have seen or heard earlier..
  • Users fault … and shame on us
  • Don’t blame NParks. Blame sia suay Singaporeans
  • People are just irresponsible 

35 Y.O MAN WHO IS A VIRGIN, HAS NEVER KISSED A WOMAN IN HIS LIFE

0

A netizen shared how he is a virgin at the age of 35 and that he has never kissed a woman before in his life.

Here is the story

I’m a 35 year old kissless virgin

Yup. I hate my life. What hurts is that I could have had it all. I was a good-looking, tall, athletic, and smart guy. But I’ve also always been very introverted with a weak, monotone voice.

I often ruminate on all the factors that made me into the person I am today: Discomfort with any kind of physical touching. Idiot parents. Health problems. Fetishes and adult videos addiction. Obsessions. Basically zero friends at the end of school. The great recession.

My family is very conservative and was taught abstinence growing up. I bought into that completely and grew up believing well into my early 20s that sleeping around was irresponsible and full of consequences. So, I think that initially played a big role…

Constant brainfog and feeling down ruined my school experience. Having a really bad varicocele that I needed to have two surgeries for in my early 20s didn’t help. Fetishes and adult videos addiction have been my prison for over 20 years.

There’s much more to explain but this isn’t the place for a memoir. There was so much potential for me to become a perfectly normal, well-adjusted person, but that didn’t happen, and I feel like it was hardly my fault.

All I’ve got is resentment, regrets, and awful, cringy memories of how things went wrong. I hate my life so much and I can’t exist like this anymore.

I’ve completely checked out of society and spend my days consuming media and playing video games.

MAN GAVE EPIC RESPONSE TO “ATAS” GF’S REQUEST FOR VALENTINE

0

I want to share a story about my super spoiled girlfriend who believes in the commercialization of Valentines Day.

This is not the first time, she has displayed such behaviour of wanting everything to look good on Instagram.

She told me that she wants to have dinner at a good view at MBS or some high-end restaurant and gave me several choices which range from $888 to $1399 for a 5-course dinner for two. It’s not that I don’t have the money but I buy things based on value not how “instagrammable” the place is cause she just wants to show off.

Guess what she said to me?

“It’s a man duty to be able to shower their girlfriends with gifts and it is tradition for a woman to be pampered”

So I gave her my response:

“It’s a woman’s duty to stay at home and be able to cook in the kitchen and bear me a child and clean the house and feed me food when I’m hungry. It’s a tradition your saying right?

I told her, I can fulfil all the above she just said but can she fulfil everything I said?

She comes and tells me it’s different bla bla bla, I told her end of the day she just wants to show off on her Instagram with some cringy body posture macham she is Miss Universe and hold a glass of wine she does not even know how to appreciate and acting “atas”.

I eventually broke off with her, I would prefer a down to earth woman and be able to judge something based on personal liking and value. Not the views of others, We live ourselves not for the sake of other people’s opinions.

Imagine you marry this kind no matter what and how much you do will never be enough as she will go on and on to outshine herself to those around her.

This is called living in an illusion. I rather marry a plain jane than a “vase”.

Superficial indeed.

MAN SAW A PONTIANAK JUMP FROM TREE TO TREE AT EAST COAST PARK

0

A netizen who is believed to be working as a first responder for many years shared a supernatural encounter he experienced while on duty.

Here is the story:

There are at least 3 deaths associated with the surrounding areas that I personally know of.

  1. The lady that was fatally stabbed by unknown assailants while on a date in 1989.
  2. A teenager who drowned near the lighthouse.
  3. An elderly man who hung himself at one of the nearby trees.

I attended all the 3 above cases.

My colleagues also felt uneasy when we patrol around that area especially in the hours of darkness.

Once in the middle of the night while driving along the bicycle path, there was a small tree that was uprooted and blocked our path. My In-Charge told us to get off the land rover and move the tree off the path.

While trying to carry the tree, I heard a rustling sound and something jumped from the uprooted tree to another tree. 2 of colleagues screamed. The pimples on my back stood up.

My In-Charge shouted at us to get back onto the Land Rover. He reversed the Land Rover immediately and sped off. I was the only Chinese among the 4 of us. They spoke in Malay but I can understand a bit of Malay language and I asked my In-Charge what happened.

He said while lifting the tree, they saw a pontianak jumped from the tree to a nearby tree. That caused the rustling sound that I heard.

I didn’t see the pontianak but I did felt a cold wind swept over me and a sense of fear.

WIFE OVERREACTS AFTER FRIENDS LAUGH AT HER “7TH MONTH MAKEUP”

0

My wife is a makeup artist, She always has those heavy makeup looks on which can be weird for me as guy sometimes, but she loves it and enjoys it so no problems there. though my friends and family tend to make funny, lighthearted comments on her makeup which she seems to take too seriously.

Now the situation, My 27th birthday was few days ago. we celebrated at a small diner with my guy friends and my wife. now my guy friends are brutally honest and make jokes and tease all the time, my wife knows how they are so no surprises there.

Anyways, My wife took a minute to use the toilet to get her makeup fixed as me and the boys were chatting. when she got back she asked me how she looked and before I could answer, My friend Austin responded by jokingly saying “Damn, you look like you just got out of the cancer ward with that heavy makeup on your face!”. the rest of the guys started laughing and I just stared at my wife. she got very upset and started arguing with Austin about how awful he was. others joined in and there was so much comotion. I felt upset that they were fighting during my birthday celebration.

I asked my wife to calm down and take a seat but she asked if I was okay with my friends making fun of her. Austin said “come on It was a joke!” I threw my hands up and said that I admit that my wife overreacted because really it was a joke, She lashed out on me and took a Grab home. The party was cut short and when I got home we began arguing.

I told her she overreacted and that she shouldn’t take everything seriously knowing how great she always looks but she turned it into an argument about how I let my friends insult her, and how I should’ve defended her and her integrity after I basically “forced” thise guys upon her when she was the ine who arranged for this enitre celebration.

she kept crying about getting humiliated and me dismissing her feelings and saying she overreacted.
