We have recently seen a photo of a fighter wannabe xmm going around on social media.

The photo allegedly shows a “fighter dot” drawn on the girl’s forehead and many prints on her fingers which alledgely are “tattoos”.

She is also alledgely labelled an “ang kong siao” (aks) or known as “tattoo crazy” in English and fierce.

Having met more than 10 different guys within the span of half a year, I just wanted to share some observations that hopefully may be helpful for you if you’re using apps!

#1 – never trust a guy blindly until he proves it with his actions over time. If a guy tells you that he is looking for something serious, give him the benefit of doubt but don’t fully trust him until he proves it.

I’ve mistrusted the wrong guy who told me that he wanted to settle down but turned out he was just looking for FWBs. And his game was damn solid, the way he talked to me, treated me and planned our dates was NOT the typical trajectory of how a FWB relationship would usually look like. He would even spend hours talking to me on the phone everyday. In the end, he put out after I revealed that i was not that keen to proceed too fast physically.

#2 – Don’t ever dupe yourself into thinking a guy is interested in you if he texts you every day BUT doesn’t proactively initiate to meet you. Most likely, this guy is just looking for a text buddy ???? Sometimes, us girls will try to cling on to the hope that if he carries on the convo, or even double/triple texts us when we didn’t reply instantly, he is interested. sure… but I think most importantly if he doesn’t actively tries to meet you, most likely he isn’t THAT interested.

From my experience, I have been texting this guy almost everyday for about 6+ months. During this 6+ months, I’ve dated others, some consisting of only 1-2 dates and two of them I’ve dated 1-3 months. Funny thing is, this 6months + guy was so-called the longest standing “date” but we have only met once ???? Ever since that one time we met up, he did drop hints on meeting again but never proactively plan a date. And a few times when I did not reply him, he will double text me again.

In the end, I decided to ghost for good cos’ I was too lazy to reply and I wasn’t interested enough either. But yes based on my experience, it’s quite absurd to me that someone can bother to keep tabs and text another person consistently for 6 entire months without even wanting to meet the person!!! But I guess the world is full of strange people with strange motivations.

#3 When they say that dating apps allow you to expand your social network and meet people you don’t usually encounter in your daily life, it’s true.. in a good or bad way depending on your luck.

I know I’ll get roasted (especially by guys) on the point below but i am sure most girls will agree with me

What I meant in my previous post about lowering my standards was because

1) honestly speaking, the amount of good looking girls on the apps way surpassed the amount of good looking Sporean guys who dress well on the app. I honestly don’t think I’m very picky already in terms of choosing someone based on his looks but the ”quality” of Sporean guys on the apps is really quite appalling. To the extent that out of 10 profiles, only 1 is average looking with a 5/10 rating looks wise. Sometimes it’s 0 out of 10 profiles who are average looking lol.

2) I think I’ve a bad habit of always trying to convince myself that maybe the person will look better in real life as compared to photo only to feel disappointed most of the time. I think part of me is just tired of restarting the whole process so I would rather meet this person I’ve been talking to for x number of weeks first and reevaluate from there.

so my naïveté & the fact that there’re so few decent looking guys on the apps prompted me to give guys I won’t even give a second glance, a chance. And I think most girls might be able to relate to this.

Just want to bring awareness to those who are using or are planning to sign a plan with TPG TPG Singapore. Please stay away from this company, go for other telcos but not this. I have used several telco services before, this is the worst I have encountered so far. It’s just ridiculous.

Initially, they marketed themselves to be a telco with affordable plans and had some early bird promo for senior citizens in 2020. Hence, my parents were keen and I helped them to sign up for it.

The first SIM card I collected was in July 2020. Was a faulty SIM card, no mobile connection at all from the first time we used on a phone. So, a few days later, I went down to the station to check with the staff.

The staff told me that the SIM card’s chip was defective. So I asked if I could get a new one. He told me he will help to cancel our current line with them first and asked me to re-register for a new line to get a new SIM card. And told me they will refund me back the first SIM’s card registration fee in 14 business days.

So I did what he shared with me. But the first line’s refund didn’t come in even after one month. I emailed in for help, no one responded. So I went down to the booth again to try to check on the status of the cancellation of the line (besides the refund of the registration fee, I wanted to make sure if they really cancelled that line and will not charge further monthly fees from my card).

At this point, it’s August 2020. The lady at the booth helped me check and told me the refund was not put through yet. Maybe the guy who attended to me forgot about it. And that she will put through the request again and asked me to wait further.

I waited further till September 2020 and I gave up on using their service. I emailed in to cancel both of the lines. But, still no refund or responses. The emails I’ve been sending in got no replies other than their auto-response saying that they are overwhelmed with customers at the moment and will get back to me soonest possible.

And by October 2020, I gave up about the refund and everything. Cancelled my card to make sure they don’t make further charges to me.

Then… Surprise surprise~ 19 August 2021. ALMOST 1 YEAR LATER. They replied to my email asking me for details for the refund I requested. And also stated in their email “Should we not receive a response within 7 working days, we will close the matter on our end.”

WHAT. A. JOKE.

I waited months for their assistance and replies. None. And I really gave up and literally forgot about the whole case coz I felt it’s just $10 only, I don’t wish to waste anymore of my time.

But they emailed me ONE YEAR LATER, and ask me to respond back to them within 7 working days, if not they will close my case.

HUHHHH??? I thought the case closed long time ago since they practically ignored me for about a year. Now, they want me to respond back to them ASAP if not they will close my case?

Please TPG, get a grip. You can keep my $10 and used it to pay your customer service team to respond back faster. Or have some common sense that if it’s been a year of no response, then don’t go and email the customer and cause the customer to remember what had happened.

Seriously, ZERO customer service efficiency & ZERO common sense.

Please be aware of this company everyone.

A woman started to film a monkey instead of closing the window.

She thought that it would be a smarter idea to start filming the monkey instead of running to safety. She could have lured the monkey out with a piece of bread.
