CONCERNED SISTER WANTS BRO TO DO PRENUP BEFORE WEDDING

So my (25F) older brother (28M) and his gf have been dating for like 4 or 5 years now and recently my brother proposed.

Everyone has been super supportive and happy for them, my parents are over the moon and excited for the first of their children’s weddings. And im also really happy for my brother, but there was one thing that bothered me. My brother pays for everything. He is constantly surprising his gf with gifts, he always pays for their dates or meals when they go out.

I’ve brought it up before and my brother says he doesn’t mind, that our family have more money than most and that he likes treating his gf. His gf does work and does do the cooking and keeping their house(which my brother brought btw) clean, but that’s nothing compared to what he’s getting in return. My brother also vaguely explained that there is a “dynamic” to it (he didn’t really wanna talk about it with me) which I don’t really get and the whole situation still looks like my brother is getting exploited.

Last night my family went out for a celebratory dinner for the engagement. While we were there my brother started showing them the ring and shared plans for what they would want at the wedding, then the bill came, we split it (my parents paying for theirs and my youngest sister’s (16F), me and my bf (29M) split ours, my siblings all paid for theirs and like always my brother paid for both his and his gf.

I joked and said that my brother should get a prenup, my brother told me that isn’t funny, I said back that with how many gifts he’s gotten him and how many things his gf has his name on it probably won’t do much anyway. His gf looked guilty and upset, my brother told me I was being super effing rude and he and his bf left.

Most of my family are telling me I was out of line, tho my older sister agrees with me that she thinks our brother is being exploited.

There was probably a better scenario I could have brought that up?

EX-CERTIS CISCO MANAGER ALLEGEDLY RECEIVED $83K IN BRIBES, CHARGED

Alvin Lee May Sim, 41-years-old, was charged with 13 counts of graft and 9 counts of forgery.

Lee was a senior manager at Certis Cisco Protection Services and had allegedly received bribes of about $83,000. He was working in the security solutions and development department at the time of the alleged offense and had purportedly accepted money from Abdul Razeez Rasit, 35, and Nazarisham Mohamed Isa, 42, from Scar Services, between 2017 and 2019.

Certis Cisco said that they removed Lee from all of his duties immediately after learning that he was under investigation, and he then resigned on 31 December 2019.

Razeez is facing 6 counts of corruption, while Nazarisiham is facing 13 counts of graft, one count of forgery, and one count of using a forged document.

What happened?

Razeez and Nazarisham allegedly bribed Lee with about $43,000 to get him to do favours for their firm.

Nazarisham then allegedly gave Lee another $40,000 in bribes through a car loan by allegedly forging Certis documents.

According to the CPIB, Lee allegedly forged documents like standing orders and safe-keeping receipts related to the deposit of gemstones.

They were allegedly forged and intended to make others believe that the Certis Cisco Security, as well as the Auxiliary Police Force had issued the documents.

Lee also allegedly forged an insurance certification document with Nazarisham, who separately is being accused to have used and presented a false safe-keeping receipt by submitting it to a notary public.

BMT RECRUITS TRAINING WITH MATS, NETIZENS SAY “NCC SCHOOL BOYS TOUGHER”

BMT RECRUITS TRAINING WITH MATS, NETIZENS SAY “NCC SCHOOL BOYS TOUGHER”

The Bastic Military Training centre posted photos of new recruits training with mats on the ground.

This triggered many netizens that were once in the army and said that “their silky” hands cannot touch the rough ground.

Here are some of the best comments:

  • We are looking at army training on a very thin surface level. Having mats to “protect” your soft hands can be considered as safety, that is true. But, hard training have something else other than building muscles and pain. That is to train the mind for endurance and overcome temporary discomfort. To take hardship as it is. Not many BMT trainees are “lucky” to become trainers or some non-combat vocations. Training for that little endurance in your mind to push u to take that 1 extra step really helps if u got posted to a combat unit. This is the SAF, not NCC. But happy to know that the food at the cookhouse and rations really improved a lot!
  • Hello even 10 years ago CCA UNIFORMED GROUPs also knock it down under 1pm sun touching the bloody tarmac bare hands. Sure kana blister
  • Didn’t realise Facebook has a time travel feature, just one post and suddenly all the millennials become boomers instantly.
  • Will yoga mats be provided for jungle training as well?
  • Yoga mat… Remember to bring along for fieldcamp
  • My condolences to all the previous batches of NSFs including myself who had to be cooked on the parade square like roasted pigs.Looking forward to the following year where they’ll install aircon at the parade square too.
  • Why you all say they lucky got yoga mat?Can you imagine getting weekend confinement because your SGT sneakily take your mat and say you never take care?Extra burden.
  • How dare you make training more comfortable!! Don’t you know BMT is supposed to be the most insufferable and worst period of any male’s life?Why would you be trying to reduce the number of training-related injuries??? Make it so that NSFs maybe injure themselves for life again!!!

GUY SHARED PICTURES TO ICLOUD, WHOLE FAMILY SEES HIS PRIVATE PHOTOS

A guy shared a story of how he had changed his phone from an older model of an iPhone to a new model after decades and did a major screw up.

He had wanted to back up his pictures but instead of putting the two phones together to transfer the data over, he accidentally backed it up on iCloud, enabling his whole family to see all his pictures including some of the ‘private’ photos which he had.

Here is the story

“My family all share the same Apple ID so stuff like paid apps we can all use. This also means pictures are shared.

But my setting have always been “do not share photos to cloud.” So they are only on my device and not shared with the rest of the family.

I have my reasons for doing so as a lot of photos in my device are ‘private’ photos which are not meant for the public eye, only for my own viewing and for girls which I am trying to flirt with.

I decided to change my iPhone to a newer one as I have been using an iPhone 8 for the longest time and the moment I got my hands on this new phone, I literally transferred all the data on one to the other “app data and settings.” Well guess what? It re-enabled cloud sharing for my photos.

So guess who’s parents, and probably siblings too got to see their son/brother showing off their ‘private’ photos in several different angles.

With the best lighting of course because that’s why I have them saved in the first place.

I’m actually very very pissed right now because I thought that all settings that I have on my old phone could have been port over just like this but I guess this is just life getting back at me.”

KIND BUS CAPTAIN STOPS BUS TO GIVE CRYING CHILD SOME CHOCOLATES

KIND BUS CAPTAIN STOPS BUS TO GIVE CRYING CHILD SOME CHOCOLATES

A netizen shared an encounter with a kind bus captain on board a bus on 27 January.

Here is the story

As usual, I fetched my children from school at around 5pm and we would board the bus service 98 around 5.15-5.20pm to go home. At this hour, my son has shown distress and he needed to feed on bm, he cried throughout the journey and broke free from my arms many times and threw his body towards the chair. I’m helpless.

I carried him to the window, showed him moving vehicles, and occasionally there’s trucks passed through (he kept quiet for awhile), but cried again when the bus moved and the trucks was out of his sight. I almost cried too, because I could not help him and have no idea how to calm him down.

The bus stopped at a junction, bus driver came out from his driver’s seat, at this time, I really thought he was gonna scold me for not being able to take care of him and make him quiet.

But I was wrong. He walked towards me with 2 pieces of chocolates and gave it to Adrianna and Haider. I was too stunned to speak, almost cried again because there’s still kind soul around me.

Haider stopped crying immediately and from his rear mirror, I thanked him and raised up my hands to show my appreciation. This bus driver of bus service 98, with plate number SBS 3414X deserves a shoutout and commendable service award for his kindness and thoughts for his passengers.

I knew it was totally wrong to eat in the bus, but for this 1 time just to make my son quiet, please excuse us.

Thank you bus driver! 

Updates: Sent my good feedbacks to both LTA and Tower Transit to their online platforms. I hope that this bus captain will be praise for his good work. I didn’t took his name. So I only gauged the time and the route we were at. Tower Transit Singapore Land Transport Authority – We Keep Your World Moving
