GIRL HATES HER ENGAGEMENT RING THAT WAS PASSED DOWN BY FIANCE’S GRANDMA

0

A girl shared how her boyfriend proposed to her with his grandmother’s engagement ring that was a family heirloom.

Here is the story:

“Hello, I’m not quite sure how to summarize this best, but, I hate my engagement ring.

My fiancé and I met when I was 19 and he 21, and have been together ever since. We’ve had our disagreements but for the most part our relationship is harmonious.

The problems began with covid, I suppose. My bf was raised in large part by his grandparents and loved his grandma more than anyone (no complaints from me, she was an amazing woman).

She passed away abruptly, though, in 2021 and left everything to her only grandson.

It was a decent sum of money and allowed us to take more time off during the pandemic to be with each other and out of harms way, but most importantly she left him a family heirloom- her mother’s (and hers) engagement ring which I had never knew about.

My bf and I have been talking of getting married for a long time, and have picked out a Pinterest board FULL of ideas which he knew about and had access to.

He’s known that my dream engagement ring was a simple, thin, silver band with rubies, and that I never wear gold jewelry.

He proposed to me over New Year, while all of his family were there, and while I was initially thrilled at the proposal as soon as I saw the ring part of me withered.

But by that point his mom was crying and aunts and uncles were congratulating us. So I put it on, and vowed to talk about it later.

But I can’t seem to find the right time! Every time i mention the ring, he brings up how much it meant to his grandma and how he misses her, so it never feels right to blurt out that I hate it.

It’s not a minor issue, either, the ring is heavy, gold, the size of my knuckle, with (in my opinion) gaudy diamonds and other gems.

I don’t want to seem ungrateful but I just find it so very very ugly. What do I do?? Any advice helps <3″

MANIPULATIVE VEGAN WIFE FORCES HER DIET UPON NON-VEGAN HUSBAND

0

My wife is 32 weeks pregnant. She’s been vegan for the past 5 years.

We switch cooking duties on alternate days.

Usually, I eat vegan food and when I crave meat, I eat one of those vegan alternatives. My wife doesn’t like me eating meat so I try not to eat meat most of the time.

Today, I was craving seafood so my wife offered to make vegan alternatives for seafood. However, I like the texture of seafood and that cannot be replicated using vegan ingredients so I told her I’d be eating lunch outside. She protested but I stood my ground. I prepared her a meal and then went out for lunch.

When I came home, my wife said I was inconsiderate and rude and that I shouldn’t have eaten seafood knowing she’s vegan. She is now refusing to speak to me.

Here are what netizens think:

  • Correct me if I’m wrong. Your wife is a vegan, you however are not. You’ve been considerate enough to change your diet for her sake.? She is now manipulating you by giving you the silent treatment as punishment for doing as you will and what most people in life do on a regular basis.
  • She needs to grow up, she cannot force you to do what she feels is right or whatever reason she’s a vegan. You are allowed to do as you will with your diet because YOU know your body and what it likes and dislikes.
  • My wife has an allergy to fish, not a dietary choice, a medical condition. She doesn’t stop me from eating fish, we have some in the house right now. Out of consideration I now stick to tinned fish on crackers, so I’m not getting fishy fumes in the apartment, or risking fish residue on the cast iron.
  • She is though for forcing her dietary choices on you, and for essentially throwing a tantrum when you didn’t want to follow her diet for a solitary meal. You were considerate in how you did so even, by not eating it in front of her.

HUSBAND HORRIFIED TO FIND OUT THAT WIFE HAS A CREDIT CARD DEBT OF $60K

0

A man shared how he found out that his wife has a credit card debt of about $60k but lied that it was only $19k.

Here is the story:

“A month ago I learned my friend gambled away all his wedding $. It came to a head on Friday as he finally confessed.

Through it all and talking about it, I was getting weird vibes from my wife. She confessed that she had a “$19,000.00” credit card bill.

I took all her cards and started going thru the accounts and the number kept going up, $19,000 bill was really —-> $40k, then plus another card $5k, another card $17k….

It been going on for over a year and interest just keep compounding. A few years ago she took $5k out of my oldest sons bank account and I called her out about it. We replenished the money but now this…

I have to liquidate investment accounts that i was planning to use for the kids private uni and I can pay this off but it’s really tight now.

I’m most upset that she hid it, lied about it, then lied again and then ultimately (only when she knew I had all her passwords) confessed to the full extent.

I’ve already cancelled all of her accounts, and she’s now only going to get cash but I really don’t know what to do after that.

She has no access to any bank accounts and I told her if it happens again we are getting a divorce. My biggest concern is that she’ll take out another credit card without me knowing and this will happen again.

Has anyone else gone through this and did their significant other get better or am I going to deal with this forever? How can I put a gag on her being able to get credit?

I also feel completely betrayed and I’m just totally deflated. I don’t think I’ll ever give up on her but this is testing/tested me.”

Editor’s note: What she buy sia, can spend until $60K…

MOTHER GOES NUTS WHEN KNOWING SON’S FIANCEE IS BI

0

I (27m) proposed to my girlfriend Ellie (28f) and she said yes. We’ve dated for 6 years, lived together for 3, raised two cats together, and talked about marriage and having children for a long time.

My fiancée is bisexual. Before we started dating, we were friends in uni. When I met her, she identified as a lesbian, which wasn’t a problem for me, I even met a couple of her ex-girlfriends and supported her through her breakups. Later she realized that she was bisexual and again I supported her, then we started dating and I’ve never been happier.

From the start of our relationship, I made it clear to her that her sexuality wasn’t an issue for me and that i accepted her for who she is. However, she’s not “openly” bisexual, as she doesn’t feel that her sexuality is anyone else’s business. For that reason, I never felt the need to tell my mom about her it,,, as I never considered it a problem or a topic of conversation, just a fact.

When I went home for dinner, I told my mom about the engagement. She was very happy since I’m an only child and she sees Ellie as the daughter she never had. A couple of my friends who know about Ellie’s sexuality went over to the house and we had a few drinks. Drunk, one of my friends commented “How does it feel to marry someone who slept with more girls than you?” in front of my mom.

After my friends left, my mom asked me for an explanation and I revealed my fiancee’s sexuality to her. A little confused, she said “Well, now that she’s with you she’s not like that anymore, right?” and I denied it. “No, she’s still bisexual,” to which my mom got a little mad. “How can you marry a lesbian?” she asked me. I explained to her that bisexual is not the same thing, but according to her, “If she has been with women she is a lesbian.”. I decided not to argue with her and went back to my house.

The next day, Ellie showed me a voice message she received from my mom telling her horrible things and refusing to have a daughter-in-law who uses her son as a “screen” to hide that she’s a carpet muncher. I saw red and called my mom. Instead of apologizing, she was offended that I wasn’t on her side and outed my fiancée in front of our entire family. Now some religious relatives are opposed to coming to our wedding, even though my cousins and a couple of uncles and aunts are on our side.

This has been very stressful and hurtful for my fiancée since her sexuality was always a sensitive issue for her (her mom still doesn’t accept it and kicked her out for it) and all this hate towards her makes me fear that she might decide to call off the wedding.

My mom is not generally homophobic, so this new attitude of hers surprises me and makes me think that if I’d told her before, maybe she wouldn’t have reacted this way. So AITA?

GIRL’S “TOFU” POPPED OUT OF HER SHIRT & SHE DIDN’T KNOW, PUBLIC GOT A FREE SHOW

0

A girl shared how she was dancing with her friend at a bar when her chest popped out of her shirt without her knowing and when she finally realised it, everyone had already seen her “tofu”.

Here is the story:

“This happened before the Covid pandemic, so my friend and I went to a bar and a song came on and she dragged me out to the dance floor.

Being a woman with a very big chest, it’s hard to wear a lot of things that hold these tofu in…

Anyways, to make a long story short.. my “huge girls” fell out of my shirt while we were dancing and I didn’t even notice

And we walked back to the table and she looked at me and her jaw dropped and pointed like she couldn’t say a word.

I look down and there in all its glory, my mammary glands… I walked through the entire bar giving everyone there a show.

You’re welcome…”

Editor’s note: Wow this is horrifying to say the least.

GRANDMOTHER GAVE MY CHEATING FATHER $1 INHERITANCE

0

When I was 13 years old, my mother found out my father was having an affair and he got the other woman pregnant.

After this came out, my father confessed he was in love with the other woman and wanted to leave my mother. She obviously heartbroken and didn’t know what to do. We had moved to and since my father was the breadwinner of the family I had to move with him.

But it was like his never there, He attempted to keep a relationship with me, but ultimately his new family was “his priority” as he said. Tough to understand for a 13 year old, but whatever. If he didn’t want me, I wasn’t going to need him so my mother and I moved on.

But the only way we were able to move on was with the help of my grandmother. My father’s mothers. She always loved us and was appalled with what her son had done to us. He stopped seeing her as well for the most part. We became very close over the years. Seeing each other for special occasions and holidays while her son was nowhere to be found. She even helped my mom out monetarily when we needed it too.

Unfortunately, the years caught up with her and she developed colon cancer. Advanced late stage. Her decline was rapid. Within a few months, she was in hospice. Days before she passed, she asked me to call her son to come to see her as she knew her time was coming. He’d only been to see her a couple of times since she had gotten sick. When he came by, I was visiting as we did every few days and he acted like I was some random person.

Grandma asked him to come back tomorrow, but he said he’d be back in a few days. She passed 4 days later without him coming back despite my calls and texts to come.

She went peacefully with me and my mom by her side. That was hard. I miss her every day. She was my guardian angel most of my life and I know she continues to watch over me.

After the services, (where my father did show up and made a big scene and made it about himself) we were contacted by her lawyer. Unbeknownst to everybody, she left me her house and a good amount of money. $200,000. No idea she did that, but in the will, there was a note to me from her that said: “You are worth it. Love Grandma”

She’s amazing.

Also in her will, she left my father exactly $1 as his inheritance.

When he found out, he went ballistic. Blowing up my phone all the time. Demanding I give him “his house and his money.”

His new wife and his son were messaging me a lot and his son was writing on social media that I manipulated my grandmother.

My father apologized and said he was under a lot of stress because he’s in debt. That made me feel bad. Like maybe I should give him something.

I’ve thought about it a lot and I don’t think I’m going to share anything with him and I kind of think that makes me a jerk because it seems like they really do need it. But on the other hand… he reap what he sow.

I don’t know…. What should I do

COURT OF APPEAL TO HEAR MSIAN DRUG TRAFFICKER’S APPEAL ON 24 JAN

0

Singapore’s Court of Appeal, also known as the APEX court, will be hearing the appeal of Malaysian drug trafficker Nagaenthran A/L K Dharmalingam on 24 Jan 2022.

He is appealing against a high court decision which denied him the rights to begin judicial review proceedings to challenge his death sentence.

He was previously sentenced to death for his role in smuggling heroin into Singapore, but was granted a stay of execution in November 2021.

Five judges will hear his appeal and they are:

  1. Chief Justice Sundaresh Menon
  2. Justice Andrew Phang Boon Leong
  3. Justice Judith Prakash
  4. Justice Belinda Ang
  5. Justice Chao Hick Tin.

His defense counsel consists of lawyer, M Ravi.

Original execution date postponed

Nagaenthran was originally supposed to be executed on 10 November 2021 but was granted a stay of execution pending appeal after the High Court dismissed defense lawyer M Ravi’s argument on 8 November 2021 that executing him would be unconstitutional.

Tested positive

Nagaenthran appeared for the appeal for about 12 minutes when it was heard on 9 November 2021 and was taken away.

Subsequently, a judge informed the court that Nagaenthran had tested positive for Covid-19.

According to CNA, one of the judges, Phang was quoted saying that:

“The execution is scheduled for tomorrow… If the applicant has been afflicted by Covid-19… it’s our view that the execution cannot take place anyway.”

Malaysian PM previous wrote to PM Lee

Malaysian PM, Ismail Sabri, had previously wrote in to PM Lee for leniency on Nagaenthran’s case, after previous appeals and presidential clemency were both unsuccessful.

International human rights groups had also called attention to his clarity, as Nagaenthran is said to be disabled intellectually and only had an IQ of 69.

SKINNY AH BENG & SHIRTLESS BUI BUI FIGHT UNTIL SLIPPER LOST

A video was uploaded on social media after two men were seen getting into a fight at a void deck.

It is unclear why the chubby one is not wearing a shirt but it can be seen that he was escaping from the skinny person.

The later part of the video even shows slippers left behind after the man tried to escape from the fight.

The man who was under attack kept saying “no no no”. The video was captioned with the text “play shirt”, meaning they are affiliated with gangs.

It is unclear where and when this incident happened but one thing is certain, there will be penalties.

The man who took the video did not even bother to stop them and laughed while the fight was occurring.

Younger people somehow think that filming themselves doing illegal things is the hype and often get themselves in trouble.

Some film fights while some others film themselves vaping and so on.

It’s like announcing to the world they are doing something that’s wrong.

Penalties:

Affray is committed when two or more people disrupt public peace by fighting in a public area. This offense is described in Section 267A of the Penal Code and has a maximum term of one year in jail, a $5,000 fine, or both.

OCBC TO REVIEW SCAM CASES & PAYOUT VICTIMS, ALREADY PAID 30 VICTIMS TO DATE

0

OCBC Bank has announced today (17 Jan) that they have already started to payout victims who were affected by the phishing scams.

At the time of the report, OCBC said that they have already paid out more than 30 affected customers since 8 Jan.

For the rest of the customers who have not received their payments, the bank said that their cases are still under review.

Out of ‘goodwill’

The bank added that these payouts were out of ‘goodwill’ and will be made after verification has been done as well as the unique circumstances of each case.

However, they did not mention if the ‘goodwill’ payments to the victims will be in partial or in full and who will not qualify for them.

Acknowledged shortfalls

OCBC also acknowledged the shortfalls of their customer services and the time they took to respond to the situation.

It has already set up a team dedicated to deal with the victims queries.

They added that more time will be needed to address the concerns of the affected customers as investigations into the scams involves many different groups of people and checks.

It seeks the cooperation and patience of the affected customers for more time to complete their checks and validation.

Once the cases are validated and reviewed, they will contact the affected customers.

469 affected, $8.5 million lost

469 customers were affected in these series of scams and the total amount lost to the scammers was a grand total of $8.5million.

Many people were duped by scammers into handing their personal information over in Dec 2021 after scammers imitated a bank’s official SMS channel and communicated with the victims.

Some customers even claimed that their accounts were hijacked by the scammers even though they did not hand over their one time password or token information to them.

Advisory

OCBC issued a warning to their customers not to access their bank accounts via these dubious messages and said that they will not send anymore website links via their SMS channel.

Group CEO, Ms Helen Wong, also apologised and said that their digital platforms and banking systems remain safe for usage.

She also urged everyone to stay vigilant against such scams and only do their banking activities on OCBC’s official website or mobile app.

OLD MAN LAST MIN ALIGHT FROM MRT, THEN SCOLD MAN BOARDING: “DON’T BLOCK THE WAY LAH!”

0

A netizen shared how he was at Clementi MRT station trying to board the MRT after everyone had alighted, but then an old man decided to alight at the last minute and blocked his way in.

The old man then shouted at him “don’t block the way lah!”

Here is the story:


“Was at Clementi MRT station today at around 7.15 PM in the evening to take the train back home.

When the train arrived, I was getting ready to board the train and when the platform door opened I stood at the side and waited for people to alight first before boarding.

And when I was trying to board the train, suddenly this old man came out at the last minute and blocked my way into the train.

He made eye contact and did a “what” hand gesture, expecting me to give way to him when he is alighting at the last minute. There were also a bunch of people left and right blocking me from boarding the train at the time.

And after that he shouted at me, “don’t block the way lah id–t!”

I looked at him in shock, like what wrong did I do? It was my turn to board the train after a bunch of people had already alighted.

Then after he alighted he came back and shouted at me “This is Singapore, use your f—–g brain to think for people to alight and this is not your f—–g property!”.

And he then walked away and pointed finger at me, and that was when I took out my phone to capture his face, which he saw and quickly walked away.

I presumed he doesn’t dare to challenge me more as he knows, in the end, he will face karma for his actions.

I wonder why is he behaving like this when he is the one who is at fault for alighting at the last minute and scolding people with his dirty mouth.”
