GIRL GLAD PARENTS ARE DIVORCING, NO MORE LISTENING TO THEM KPKB

0

A netizen shared how her parents are divorcing but while her brother was sad and cried about it, she was actually glad and happy.

Here is the story:

I’m a 15 year old girl. My parents are constantly fighting and at each other’s throats. I’m not close to either of them, and have no idea how they can even breathe in such a horrible relationship.

Yesterday they told my brother (13) and I that they’re getting a divorce. My brother was really sad about it and actually cried. I couldn’t be happier.

Finally I won’t have to listen to their complaining for hours and hours.

Take this from a soon to be child of divorce, don’t stay together just for your kids. It doesn’t do any good. If you hate your spouse just get a divorce and try to treat each other like human beings.

For now, I’m just glad that I can look forward to some peace.

Netizens comments

  • unhappy marriages are soo annoying to go through. my parents have been divorced for around a year now, its WAY better
  • Good; glad you’re getting it. I’m a 50 year old man. My parents are both fairly young for older people (70) and get along well, but got divorced when I was 5. There were literal decades of bad blood between them, court cases, other spouses, and division between myself and my father. Now, everyone gets along great, but the thought of having grown up with them staying married is a nightmare.
  • You have no idea how right you truly are. Mine stayed together and are the most toxic couple I’ve ever seen. They openly belittle one another. It’s sad and pathetic. Anyway…. I’m glad that you will be able to find some peace and I hope nothing but the best for you. You’re a smart cookie. Keep your wits about you and you’ll be just fine in this lifetime. All the best to you, sweetie!

EMPLOYER REJECTED RESIGNATION, “SCARE YOUNG WORKER THAT DON’T KNOW RIGHTS”

0

So I’m a working part-timer that just got their results back and planning to quit. I told them I want to resign cause I don’t want to study and work at the same time, but the manager insist I continue working even I’m not willing to and that I can cut down my working hrs. ( I don’t think im going into a JC but ya)

She feels my reason to resign isn’t a good reason and tells me I should be able to commit more and this is never stated in the contract.

I really hate working here so I thought is a good chance to resign now but they reject me and are not going to approve my resignation, there is a week notice and I have planned my last working day but now I have to work another 2 more weeks.

I search online that is illegal to do so but the only way to resign is through the manager. Is there anywhere or someone I can contact to report, I can’t find any HQ number for the company.

Here is what netizens think:

  • Resignation is not optional. Don’t show up for work and screen shot her rejection, make sure you get it in writing (email, text, etc). If she decides to go further, MOM would love to have a word with your employer.
  • Also, if you think they might sue you, don’t worry their finance dept won’t approve the lawsuit budget and the legal dept will ROTFL at your manager.
  • You dont need your employer’s approval to resign. Throw letter to make it official, and if they want to make noise its on them. Companies take advantage of employees not knowing their rights.
  • Because employers try to guilt trip you into staying on if you’re not sure of your rights and have difficulty saying no so they won’t have to scramble to find a replacement
  • Resignation is by an individual, stating their intention to terminate their employment with an employer. It cannot be rejected.

KIDS PLAYING WITH OUIJA BOARD THEN EVERYTHING GOES WRONG

A netizen shared how she played with a ouija board with her sister’s friend one night while their parents weren’t home and everything then started going wrong.

Here is the story:

I was 8 years old with my two sisters. One of my sisters was 9 and the other 13. My eldest sister took care of us while my parents were hanging out with their friends.

My sister had a friend she would spend a lot of time with, her older sister also loved spending time with me.

One night we decided to spend the night at their home while our parents had a good time drinking.

They started to talk about playing a game. My eldest sister was clearly not comfortable about it since she had to watch over my sister and me.

They said it would be harmless and pulled out this board with letters and started to talk and scramble around which I guess was for candles and a notepad. I didn’t feel comfortable about it at all. I knew her older sister was just in the next room.

So, I told myself if I want, I’ll just go in there and bring my other sister along. I remember looking at my eldest sister and I could tell she was not comfortable too.

So eventually they started to play.. They said a chant over and over and something started to move. They started out with simple questions and laughed as they continued.

It started to put me at ease because they weren’t talking to ghosts, they were just talking to each other. But my sister’s friend seemed unsatisfied. Her whole demeanor changed. She started asking how her friends would die and they definitely were not having fun anymore.

My sister yells her name and tells her to stop while my other sister and I are holding onto her. She seemed to snap out of it and looks at confused. She starts to look at the board and her friends are still there and it continues to move.

One of her friends yells you can’t let go until it says goodbye and they put their hands on it again. I started to see something dark just grow and continue to grow on the wall where the candles are shining and I scream.

When I do her sister comes out and turns on the light. All of a sudden I’m crying. My eldest sister tries to explain to her what happened but we all look and her sister and two friends are still on the board.

Apparently, she knew about it before so she turned off the light and told them they need to get it to say goodbye. There was an eerie silence as the candles were flickering.

All it would spell is “demigod” over and over. They became frustrated and asked who is a demigod?!

It spelled my whole name. Only my family knew my whole name and my sisters grabbed me closer than ever.

I froze I couldn’t even tell if I was breathing. My sister told them to stop messing with me.
That’s when they realized it was me. The last thing it said was I will have you.

All I remember is my sister carrying me to my mom. My mom was so upset because I wouldn’t speak for a few days.

GIRL’S TINDER BF IS AFRAID THAT HE USES TINDER TO FIND OTHER GIRLS

0

er… there is a lot to unpack here I am 22 years old and he is 24. Last night I saw the Tinder app on his phone and asked to see it. He then rolled onto the floor and death gripped the phone to his chest and told me I couldn’t see his phone.

So I asked if the app is what I think and he said yes. So I’m crying and called my sister to get me. And once I leave his home he follows me and starts telling me that he was just looking for friends.

I ask again to see the app he says no I said well if I’m overreacting then there should be something to prove me wrong. Or some mention that he had a girlfriend or something. And he said no and I said so the conversation was more flirtatious and he says he talks to every girl like that and at that point, he’s crying and said if we are going to break up over an app that he wants me to know he loves me.

But then he said he was talking to someone but they’re just friends ( we also met on tinder. While he had a girlfriend ( I didn’t know )and we were just friends until they broke up)

and when I reminded him of that he immediately got extremely angry at me and told me to go pack my stuff and called me a crybaby. So I don’t know what else I’m supposed to think. He only showed me the messages ( only a few of them) after I left to my parents home. Now obviously I don’t believe any of this. They always say you lose them how you get them.

But I did download tinder and I found his account and it did say he was only looking for friends. We do live together. I’m not sure what to do about this.

Because even in the extremely unlikely off chance that nothing is going on, he still disrespected me by calling me a crybaby and pretending to be a victim.

Here are what netizens think:

  • Yep, he is cheating. No question about it. If it were nothing or playing then he would have showed his phone. Clearly he isn’t emotionally ready for a committed monogamous relationship. Just understand that this is all about him and nothing about you.
  • Look, even if his tinder said he was “just looking for friends” I’m calling BS. People who are looking for friends use apps designed for that purpose. Tinder is a hookup app. Regardless of what his profile says. I can make a tinder profile rn claiming I’m the virgin Mary. You still use tinder to hook up. That’s what it’s for.
  • If he wasn’t cheating, he would just show you his profile and conversations.

TRAVEL BUBBLE BETWEEN S’PORE & BATAM/BINTAN ANNOUNCED

0

Indonesia’s Coordinating Minister for Economy, Airlannga Hartato, said in a press conference on 24 January that Singapore travelers can visit Bintan and Batam without having to be quarantined.

However, the visitors can only interact with the people in and within the zone(s) of the travel bubbles, as well at the activities within.

Hartato said that the decision was undertaken to drive tourism in the two islands, with the Covid-19 situation in both Bintan and Batam having been stable.

Should begin soon

According to Tempo, the Indonesian Minister for Tourism and Creative Economy, Sandiaga Uno, said that the travel bubble should begin soon.

He added that Joko Widodo, the Indonesian President, has already approved the launch of “limited public traffic” between the two countries.

Previously, the travel bubble between Singapore and Indonesia’s Riau Islands was previously canceled back in October last year due to Singapore’s Covid-19 situation.

Set of requirements

Indonesia’s Covid-19 task force released a set of requirements for Singapore travelers to enter Batam and Binton.

Travelers from Singapore can enter Batam via the Nongsapura International Ferry Terminal and then proceed to the travel bubble at Nongsa Sensation.

Travelers from Singapore can enter Bintan via the Bintan Telani Ferry terminal before proceeding to the Lagoi Bintan Resort.

They would have to show their visa as well as proof of confirmation and payment of their travel bubble package, along with any digital or physical proof of their Covid-19 vaccination status (vaccinated at least 14 days before departure for the islands).

A negative PCR test is also required to be taken a maximum of three days before departure.

Travelers would also be required to register with Indonesia’s E-HAC digital health service, as well as download the BluePass and PeduliLindungi apps whilst within the bubble.

Health insurance of at least $30,000 is also required to cover the cost of Covid-19 treatment and medical expenses should they be infected whilst there.

WOMAN WENT TO WATERWAY POINT NAIL SPA, PAID $328 TO MAKE NOISE

0

A netizen recently shared on social media about her displeasure at the services provided by a nail spa which operates in Waterway Point shopping centre in Punggol.

She had went there hoping to get her nails and feet nicely done, only to be upset about the services that and encounter which she got from the staff there who according to her were pushy.

She eventually gave in to the staff constant pressurising and claimed that she paid $328 for ugly nails and feet.

Here is her story

“I recently went to Pixie Nail Spa (Waterway Point) to get my nails done up. I really didn’t care if it lasted through CNY or not. It was just for my own enjoyment.

But the staff was pressuring me to get gels to my discomfort when all I wanted was a $18 quick shape and normal colour.

When I told them “it’s fine, Gels don’t work well on me cause I have very soft nails.” They proceeded to push me even more option like nail hardener which are expensive.

This is after I said no twice that I don’t really want it. They coax my husband who was beside me to agree with them (cause he doesn’t know better) and make me feel very very cornered and uncomfortable.

This whole conversation was also done in Chinese when I already told them I can only speak English. Which enable them to fast talk and confuse me.

So moving on, I did in the end succumb to the pressure (which I cried in the end which make them sort of back away a little cause I seriously felt very attacked.)

So one of the staff proceeded to do a Nail Hardening Gel Overlay With Gel Manicure. After this WHOLE FIASCO the result for it was disgusting.

If you can see the images. They are way too thick , unevenly applied so it is bumpy and make my nails look so stubby. Like… if you want to hard sell as least make it nice.

Anyways they also add on stuff to my husband callus treatment and wasn’t transparent with the price. So from a simple $18 express manicure become $176 disgusting stubby nails which apparently will last till CNY much to my horror.

And my husband $89 callus treatment become $152 with that additional add on which is basically a herbal lotion on his foot.

Total damage :$328 for ugly nails and feets”

GUY WALKED INTO ROOM AND SAW HIS GF’S FATHER IN HIS BIRTHDAY SUIT

0

A guy shared a story of how he forgot that his girlfriend’s father was staying over at their place one day and just went into the room without knocking the door as he forgot that there was somebody staying inside the room.

Usually it would have been nothing much but the guy shared that when he walked into the room, his girlfriend’s father was in his birthday suit in its full glory.

He mentions that he cannot get the image out of his mind now and keeps seeing it even in his dreams.

Here is the story

“I live in an 2 bedroom apartment, one being me and my girlfriends bedroom, and the other being our office.

We have been living together as a trial as we are going to get married soon and wanted to try living together to see how it feels like.

We rarely have guests over, but her father had just sold their old home and was waiting to move into the new one and we thought it would be nice to let him have our bedroom until he moves into their new home.

I have a google home that is my alarm in our office that goes off at 7:55 am on weekdays.

When it went off this morning I rushed to turn it off because I did not want to interrupt his sleep.

When I opened the door (without knocking because I assumed he was asleep) I was greeted with a package.

He was spread eagle on our bed in his birthday suit all in its full glory and his ‘little brother’ at its peak.

I panicked and shut the door quick, then told him I was coming back in to turn the alarm off.

Afterwards he didn’t seem to look or feel awkward, but I can’t get the image out of my head and every time I close my eyes or even in my dreams, I still see it.”
