GUY CALLS CUSTOMER THE WRONG NAME FOR ALMOST 6 MONTHS

A guy shared as story of how he has always taken one of his customer’s name as this and has been calling him this for almost six months only to find out that the customer’s name is that when closing the deal with him.

What is worse is that he was not the one to find out and the customer did not bother to correct him and it was only when his colleague was doing the paperwork and the customer took out his identity card that they realised that they have been addressing him wrongly for the past six months.

Here is the story

“I’ve been selling cars now for about a year. Near the end of last June I met a walk in customer at my car showroom who came in to have a look.

We exchanged information and I understood his name to be lets just call him AS.

He and his wife were looking for a vehicle which was luxurious enough yet not too expensive but we did not have what he wanted at that time.

We are a car show room that basically deals with second hand cars.

Since we did not have what he wanted, he told me to call him anytime if I can find something within his expectations as he was not in a rush to buy a car as well.

After almost six months, we had a car that met his expectations and I phoned him hoping that he had not got a car yet as you know usually people do not wait that long to get a car.

Surprisingly and luckily enough for me, he did not get a car yet.

He and wife came down to view, both were satisfied and they decided to buy the car.

He’s a nice man, not much bargaining which made the deal easy to close.

So I asked our admin girl to see to the paper work for me.

Legit 20 minutes after I asked my admin girl to help him with the paperwork, she comes to me and says, “you know his name is AX right?”

My jaw hit my desk. Why have I not realised this mistake for half a year!? More importantly, why on Earth would he not correct me?!”

DOCTOR’S ASST LINKED TO HEALING THE DIVIDE GETS HEAVIER CHARGES

On Friday (28 Jan), the assistant of the doctor linked to the healing the divide saga has received a heavier charge for his role in conspiring to defraud the Ministry of Health (MOH).

He will be remanded for another week.

40 year old Thomas Chua Cheng Soon, the assistant, then said that he was just acting as a middleman and he did not deserve to be charged with the heavier charge.

He has been remanded since 21 Jan and does not have a defense counsel representing him.

Original charge

He was initially charged with a count of conspiring with his doctor, Jipson Quah and also the patient Mehrajunnisha to deceive MOH that Mehrajunnisha has already been vaccinated with Sinopharm even though it was a blatant lie.

MOH then issued a vaccination certificate as a result of their declaration.

This offence warrants a punishment of a jail term of up to three years and/or fine.

Charge amended

The charge is now changed to match with Quah’s, which is much heavier.

He is now charged with conspiring with both Quah and Mehrajunnisha for falsely declaring to MOH.

This charge carries a possible penalty of up to 20 years jail term and/or a fine.

The Deputy Public Prosecutor also asked for Chua to be remanded longer as his presence is crucial in completing investigations and to garner evidence.

When asked by the judge, Chua said that he pleads for leniency but does not feel that the conspiracy charges are warranted as he only acts as a middleman and obeys Quah’s instructions.

He will be back in court on 4 Feb.

Founder of Healing Divide, Iris Koh, was also set to be in court today morning but her session has been changed to the Court Crime Registry Chambers which does not grant access to members of the public or media.

SON WORRIED OF AWKWARD CNY REUNION AFTER FATHER ABANDONS HIM

SON WORRIED OF AWKWARD CNY REUNION AFTER FATHER ABANDONS HIM

This is gonna be a little emotional. But CNY is coming and usually on the first day of CNY, i would visit my aunt’s house alone because my parents are divorced and my dad has his own family.

Usually, we would meet for reunion dinner but because of COVID regulations, I haven’t been able to meet my dad for reunion dinner for about 2 years. I decided to ask him if we could go to my aunt’s house together. But he say he may be going overseas and yet when I message my aunt, she said he comes every year alone with his own family and he will still be doing the same this year.

I feel so miserable because i feel like im not wanted by my own father. I try so hard to reach out to him but he doesn’t reciprocate it.

What’s the point in having children when you aren’t gonna put any effort into knowing them?

Here are what netizens think:

  • Suggest dinner at your aunt’s 2 days before CNY. Sometimes things could be beyond your dad’s control
  • I can understand that you miss your father. Hug!!!If you are still in good term with your father, can I suggest for you to reach out to him and ask him out?When you are spending time with him , you mentioned to him that you understood that he has new family but you also his family
  • meet your dad one on one. tell him you miss him. CNY can be political. best arrange separately
  • Sorry to hear about this. At least you have your aunt and she cares. You should write him a letter and tell him how you feel about him, before it’s too late.
  • You can let your father knows how you feel. I am sure he won’t ignore you. Even if he have his own family, he can still find time to meet you. Not necessary for CNY, ordinary days are good too.

GIRL’S PRC BOYFRIEND BREAKS UP WITH HER TO RETURN TO CHINA

A girl shared how her PRC boyfriend of 1 year plus is breaking up with her to return to China and take care of his mother, and she is okay with it.

Here is the story:

“My bf of 1 year plus just broke up with me. He is not a local, but a PRC who came here before Covid to pursue a PhD in NUS. I am a working adult, both of us are same age.

I know very well that this day will come. He is the only son in the family, and he does not have any family members here. So from Day 1 of relationship, I know very well that we will end sooner or later if our parents are against our relationship.

He told his mother about me, and his mother told him that he needs to be back to his own country, cause when they are old, they might need someone to take care of them. And I absolutely have nothing to say about this cause I am currently working in healthcare sector, and I know extremely well how people can turn very frail once they are older.

He cried over the phone, told me that he didn’t wanted to let me down, we knew each other since the lockdown started and since then, we been supporting each other as friends and now as partner.

I don’t want to make him choose between his parents or me, neither do I want to become his burden. So when he asked to break up, I said ok, let’s do that then.

I am just a average girl, and I didn’t think of going over to China since my family is all here. Tbh I like him first so I made the first move, didn’t think that I would like someone that much before this.

I always thought I will never fall into a relationship again after my first love. But well, life is full of surprises.”

Editor’s note: Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened.

GIRL WANTS TO COMPLAIN ABOUT BOSS TO FRIEND, TEXTS BOSS INSTEAD

A girl shared a story of how she had wanted to text her friend some gossip about her boss but accidentally sent it to her boss instead.

The short story is that the boss had high expectations on her team as they were directly under him and during the zoom meeting whenever her teammates or herself presented, the boss was constantly staring at them with the eye expression that they had better perform.

Here is the story

“I was in a very important and large Zoom meeting today at work with my boss, my colleagues, and people which belonged to other departments.

Now, he is the kind of boss that has very high expectations of his employees and will call you out if you are unprofessional or do something he thinks will make him or the company look bad in front of a customer.

He is not unreasonable, but if you work for him for any amount of time you learn that he has no tolerance for unprofessional behavior and will call you out on it.

In the Zoom meeting it was understood that we, as his team, were to be on our best behavior. My boss also has one of those faces where you can tell everything he is thinking.

The meeting went great, but the look on his face as members of the team were talking was one of “I am watching you closely and you better make us look good.”

I had my camera off as the meeting was wrapping up, so I opened a text to my best friend and basically said “My boss is staring down the team through this zoom meeting like he is trying to use Jedi mind tricks to bring them to the dark side.”

The meeting ended, and a few min later I get a text from my boss. It was then that I realised I had sent that comment to him and not my friend. His reply, “Should I take this as a compliment?”

GUY ACT HERO, NEVER WEAR GLOVES WHILE PUNCHING BAG

A guy shared a story of how he went to his friend’s house to use his newly bought punching bag but decided not to wear the boxing gloves as he practised on the bag.

It ended with him hurting his knuckles and fingers and now he regrets it, learnt his lesson and wants to share his story and experience.

Here is the story

“This happened recently but I just realised that I messed up the day after I tried to be a hero.

So I will start this of by saying I do not do boxing and do not use boxing equipment often.

Well one day my friend got this reflex punching bag and invited me to come and use it as I had not been exercising for a while and had expressed my interest in starting an exercise routine and living a healthy lifestyle.

He was not at home when I went over and his brother who opened the door for me told me to go ahead inside my friend’s room to use the bag.

So I proceeded to go into his room, did some stretching and warm up before I started my boxing routine.

It was kinda rough and it hurt to hit but no big deal I thought as that must be intentional.

The next day I woke up and my hands were burning. Lots of little cuts and scratched and the skin was hot and rough to the touch.

I tried putting some lotion on and that just made it worse by finding each little cut in my hand. I got most of it off bit it still burned.

I asked my friend about it and apparently he had left some gloves on a table and expected me to use them.

Good news is I learned something new about reflex bags, downside I my hands are on fire as I type it.”
