WOMAN WITH MONTHS LEFT TO LIVE, SCARED OF WHAT IS ON “THE OTHER SIDE”

0

A netizen shared how she had terminal cancer and has months left to live and is scared of what happens when she dies.

Here is the story:

“I have a cancer that can’t be cured, it’s been 2 months since I found out. My boyfriend and my parents are trying to make me as happy as possible while they can and I appreciate them for that.

I had never thought about death before, now I’m realising that.. I won’t be here in a few months..

I won’t be here in 10 years, I won’t be here in 100 years, just like I won’t be here in a 1000000000000000000000 years and the thought of this is honestly so scary.

Eternal nothingness.

I really hope there’s something else for us after we die, though I’m not too hopeful about that.

I don’t think I deserve this, I’ve tried to be a good person my whole life. I know karma does not exist, but I did nothing to deserve this.”

Editor’s note: It’s a comforting thought isn’t it? That life doesn’t end when we die but that there is something out there for us on the other side.

IS AN INCREASE IN SALARY WORTH A JOB CHANGE, NEW BOSS MIGHT BE BAD

0

Salary is the most fundamental requirement of any job. It is the principal consideration for an individual in the course of making a career choice. As a rule of thumb, the salary you are getting at the time of changing your job should be at least 30% higher than your current one. This will make you eligible for an increment. You can also use this 30% factor when negotiating your salary in a new job.

But sometimes the salary is not everything.

Some bosses might not be so good and here are a few stories.

A user posted on Reddit and question if salary is important

I feel like it’s time to move on from my current job, but I do not know how to tell my boss. He’s a good boss, doesn’t micromanage, doesn’t shout or scold. The initial job scope has changed but the salary hasn’t. I highly doubt the salary would increase but I have not asked for an increment yet. I don’t know how to ask lol.

Currently, I’ve been offered a job with about a 35% increase in salary. I want to leave but I feel bad about it because my boss has been great.

How would you go about it?

I just spoke to my boss, he said he can’t match the increment and the best he could do is an additional bonus at the end of every year. But he did say at the end of the day I have to think for myself and decide what’s best for me. He has no issues with me leaving.

So that’s good I guess? I told him I will give him an answer by Chinese New Year, he said he is okay with waiting. I offered to complete all current projects for him first before tendering my resignation. Which should be around March when all will be done. Thank you everyone for the encouragement!!

MAID REFUSE TO BELIEVE SHE IS BEING SCAMMED, WANT TO SEND $5K TO SCAMMER

0

A netizen shared how his maid is refusing to believe that she is being scammed and insists that her “lover” is going to send her millions of dollars.

Here is the story:

“Hey guys,

So the scam had not happened yet. But my helper is very insistent that her Caucasian lover is sending her millions worth of cash and jewelry and wants to pay $5000 to ‘retrieve’ it from customs.

I guess due to the nature of being a domestic helper, she is very unaware of scams and it is very difficult to explain to her given her grasp of English.

We have tried explaining that no cash exist and the photos are all fake etc., But she is rather convinced that it’s true.

We’re thinking of bringing her to the police but I’m not sure if they’re of any help. Does the police have Indonesian speakers or resources available to provide counselling?”

FATHER MOLEST MAID AND THINKS NOTHING IS WRONG AFTER CONFRONTED

Context: my wife and our 2 kids live in my parent’s place with our maid.

I witnessed him slapping her buttocks as he walked past her. He was smiling like it was a joking pat to a girlfriend. I asked my maid in private later if I saw correctly. She said it’s happened so many times and she’s told him to stop, and now she’s glad I saw it for myself.

My initial reaction was to suspect both of them were screwing each other, but after piecing some observations together, we came to the conclusion that she’s innocent and that she had been desperately trying to get our attention to it without actually saying it.

We got my mum to speak to my dad privately to save him some face. He claims that he did that because he treats her like a child. The part that pisses us off was him saying “if you want me to stop, then I won’t do it anymore lor”, because he is (1) completely unaware that what he is doing is wrong and (2) we are denying him some sort of twisted love and entitlement.

That was 2 months ago. Seems like he stopped slapping her butt, and we thought this blew over.

Then 3 days ago, my wife saw my maid crying quietly in a corner. She said my dad jokingly pretended to pinch her, but his fingers came dangerously close to her breasts. We verified with her if the pinch was on the arm (even that we wouldn’t approve) but she confirmed that if it was on the arm she wouldn’t be that upset.

She also said he has been making non-stop comments about her dressing when she is about to go out. “Wah today you wear long pants, so tight.” And “wah this shirt look sexy ah, where you going?” (It was just a Tshirt with a shorter frill sleeve).

Our maid has been absolutely amazing and we love her so much and think of her as family, but during the recent cry she said that if its not because of our daughter, she would have gone home. She can’t take it anymore.

Truth is, all of us are sick of the old man. He is the huge black hole sucking all happiness out. Every word he says is negative, about one-sided politics, and seeking attention. Nobody respects him anymore, and we just tolerate it.

Now with this crisis, we are almost forced to choose sides and its clear we rather the maid than him. So… what now?

GIRL OVERSLEPT IN BUS ON THE WAY TO WORK, LOCKED INSIDE AT BUS INTERCHANGE

A video emerged online showing a girl trapped inside a locked bus after she overslept while on the way to work.

The netizen said that she was on her way to work at 7am and because it was an hour long journey, she took a little nap on the bus.

She then woke up and found herself in an empty bus, and she couldn’t find the driver of the bus and started panicking inside the locked bus which was parked at a “different interchange”.

She then managed to find a driver, presumably by knocking on the windows, and she was eventually let out of the bus.

Several other SMRT workers also assisted the girl and one of them escorted her out of the parking bay – the girl said that they were very understanding.

The girl then went to a taxi stand thinking she was late but it turned out that she was actually an hour early…

CHICKEN STOPS AT TRAFFIC LIGHT, THEN CROSS THE ROAD WHEN LIGHTS TURN GREEN

A video emerged online showing a chicken crossing the road like a person, abiding by the traffic rules unlike some human beings.

The chicken was seen waiting patiently at the traffic light, standing behind a man who was also waiting at the traffic light.

The traffic light then turned green and the rooster then started crossing the road, walking behind the human pedestrians.

The pedestrians were understandably amused at the chicken crossing the road as they turned around to look at what was unfolding before their eyes.

The green man on the traffic light then started blinking, indicating that it was turning red soon, and the chicken then started picking up pace and running across.

It appeared as though it knew that it had to hurry up.

Patmawati Daun Kuri an Indonesian maid was employed to take care of a 79-year-old elderly man who is undergoing dialysis. She was trusted to take care of the elderly man which includes bringing him to the hospital for treatments.

The maid used the man’s card and draw a total of SGD$6,000 on twelve occasions, little did she expect that her face was caught on the ATM’s CCTV.

The elderly man later realized that there was money missing from his account and told his daughter to make a Police report.

The maid initially denied the allegations and said that she did not take the money until the evidence was displayed in her face.

The maid then pleaded guilty but the prosecutor stated that the maids plead of guilty should not affect the sentence as she denied all allegations until it is proven.

The maid was eventually jailed for 4 months.
