A local Singaporean shared his story of how he managed to slim down after taking a liquid diet. But warns others although it works it might not be the best for the body.
Here is the article:
There are many reasons why one would want to slim down most often for looks and the least important reason is normally health. I did an experiment try a beer-only diet which helped me slim down 6kg after doing a beer diet for a month with no exercise.
Here is my routine, wakes up and drink as much water as I can and followed by a multi-vitamin supplement. At lunch, I have 1 – 2 beers and I continue doing my work from home. During dinner time I have an average of 6-8 beers before going to sleep. Anytime during the day go ahead and drink as much water.
Although, people always talk about “beer belly” there is a misconception, it is often caused by eating after having a drink and not just limited to beer (any alcohol).
A question I got from a friend was: “Which beer did you take?”
My answer: “any beer that is on promotion, I don’t really have a preference”
Other benefits, my skin cleared up. I used to have dry and flaky skin but now my skin became better.
Another warning, I have very good alcohol tolerance therefore I did not get drunk and I was able to continue working. Another factor to take note of is if you have liver issues or other health concerns that do not recommend drinking alcohol do not try this diet.

An Indian girl shared that she was racially harassed by an uncle on the bus, who pulled his mask down and wasn’t wearing it properly.
The uncle thought she was Malay and made discriminatory remarks about her not covering up (she’s actually Indian).
He also thought she was Malaysian and insulted her nationality (she’s actually Singaporean).
You can read her full post below:
“Hi, I experienced racial discrimination on the bus yesterday… this is the first time anything like this has happened to me before and I just want to spread awareness.
Please note : The last picture in this video is the picture that made the man angry. He was sitting across from me and he kept looking at me which I don’t know why but then he came to sit behind me and that was when he saw that I took the picture of the building.
His mask was pulled down and he begin to talk on the phone really loudly and apparently he was really pissed at the fact that I was taking pictures, which FYI it was just that one photo I took and I still remember the exact words he was saying (towards the end of the video you could actually hear him say “mind your own business lah…. don’t offend people why want to take photos of this kind of thing”)
I wish I had taken a video of what he said before I alighted but these were some of it:
“I don’t understand why must take photos it’s so stupid and on top of that it’s a f**king women you know”.
“All these Malaysians come to singapore think they so big but who TF do they think they are” (FYI I’ve been living in singapore my WHOLE life and so did generations and generations of my family).
“At the end of the day, they are all just slaves working under us”.
“Especially all this Malay girls ah don’t know how to cover up properly don’t know how to go around with respect” (FYI I’m actually Indian so I don’t know why he’s assuming things).
The part that really me mad was that not only was he being discriminatory but he was also being a sexist by saying “woman you know” “what’s worse is that it’s a woman” as if being a women means I can’t take photos?
Instead of telling me he goes on to talk really loud on the phone and I did want to say something in the heat of the moment but I knew it would just escalate things further and I did not want to give him the satisfaction that I knew he was talking about me.
Luckily, my stop was next so I bit my tongue and got of the bus but what was even more childish was that when the bus was leaving he straight up pointed the middle finger towards me.
All my years of living in Singapore I have never once felt like an outsider nor have I been racially discriminated this badly (other than of course a few name calling in primary school which I could take) but I’ve always had many Chinese and Malay friends who made me feel part of their family and I was so thankful to be part of this community.
After that incident yesterday, the rest of the 1hr journey back home in train was just filled with tears as I have never felt so alone or vulnerable in the place that I grew up in. As a 17 year old who just wanted to sit in a bus and just simply enjoy, I don’t know what made me a grown man’s target for him to think that he could just destroy someone like that.”
A video emerged online showing an uncle refusing to wear his mask properly and insulting the other passengers on board the MRT when they asked him to do so.
The entire incident was captured by a netizen named Sakura, who described the details of the incident.
She said:
“June 15, 2021 (Tuesday) – Around 7:53 pm, on the East West Line (EW) MRT heading to the west, a man did not wear his mask properly, and also insulted passengers who reminded him to wear mask.
Tuesday night, on the EW line mrt to the west, starting from Commonwealth/Buona Vista station, I noticed a man wearing a grey shirt and black trousers talked loudly in the train (Door14). He did not wear his mask over his nose and mouth at all times, it covered only his chin. He mocked passengers around as ”Phubber” (Phone + snubber = Phubber) and judged them, loudly. Although there were some passengers reminded him to put on the mask, he turned a deaf ear and still went his own way. I have reached my tolerance limit, so started recording his evil deed from Dover station, which happened to record him humiliating other passengers.
From the 1-minute video, a male passenger reminded him to put on the mask in English, and he responded in Chinese, “What did you say?” After the male passenger kept silent due to the language barrier, he told him “Chinese should speak Mandarin” in a contemptuous tone, and then lowered the mask that he had not worn properly, let him to look at his face, and asked him provocatively whether he is a policeman or police dog. In the end, he even threatened him “want fight?”. The man was obviously making use of the male passenger’s weakness in Chinese to insult him.
The man left Clementi station at about 7:54pm. I complained to the female staff outside Door14 of the incident at about 7.55pm. The female staff said that the man goes in and out of Clementi station every day without wearing mask properly. I also asked her for a proper complaint channel, and decided to report the arrogant man, and will never tolerate the act of humiliating others.”

A netizen shared a crazy story of a Hougang landlord
Here is the story:
Wants to charge extra $30/week for Working From Home
8.30pm on April 30th My sister went to Blk416 Hougang Ave 1x 6th Floor 1xx8 to see the house, and it was not bad when she entered and the male homeowner seems good. But after the homeowner was told that she will be working from home he wants to charge an additional $30/week for the electricity and water usage.
Dishonest Landlord
At that time, I counted three times with a one-month rent and a deposit of $1160 before giving him the cash. After giving it to his sister, he said that the payment is short of $100.
My sister wanted to forget it, and paid him an extra $100, but when she told me, I knew it was impossible, and I tried to argue with him, but he reluctantly repaid my sister $50
Crazy rules
1.Used CCTV to monitor the number of times my sister goes to the toilet, the landlord said that she is only allowed to go to the toilet every 2-3 hours as water bills are high.
2. My sister is not allowed to leave the room if there is someone outside and she will not even be allowed to use the toilet in this period
3. If she goes to the toilet the rental fee will increase
4. Threaten the tenant not to use too much water and electricity not happy because saw her press 1 more button on the washing machine
5. Use CCTV to monitor the activity of the tenant see she use toilet how many times
Dispute
June 18 at 4 p.m. The owner suddenly knocked on the door and knocked loudly to confront my sister. He told her to go to the kitchen and scolded her for wasting water and electricity.
During the dispute, the homeowner also brought a piece of paper to write down how many liters of water was spent on one flush and how much water she had to use for 1 wash.
Police informed
The argument between the tenant and the ridiculous landlord argued so badly that the Police was called to evict the tenant out of the unit.
However, the tenant did not intend to move out right away. The Police help negotiate and they finally agreed to leave in 3 days.
Refuse to return Deposit of the rental
On the day of moving out, the landloard refuse to reutrn the deposit.
He claimed that the tenant broke the rules of the house and was not entilted to any return of deposit.

A netizen shared his story about how his girlfriend cheated with his childhood friend for the sake of money.
Here is his story:
“I come from an average family drawing an average salary. Enough to eat and have some entertainment but probably not enough to go for expensive holidays nor can I afford branded goods.
I have a girlfriend(should call her ex-GF), Initially, she doesn’t mind that I cant give her a life of luxury and said that my personality and upbringing is what attracted her. However, just over a year into the relationship she started to change and started comparing her friend’s boyfriend saying that her friends would often receive lavish gifts from their boyfriends. Which made me feel really bad and useless.
I have a childhood friend, let’s just say his name is “Kevin”. He comes from a rich family and sometimes would join me and my girlfriend for a drink or dinner.
How she was caught
A week ago was my GF’s birthday and I bought her a smartwatch which is something she always wanted. I help set it up for her and she was happy with it. 2 days ago she was at my home and took off her watch and charge it in front of me where my computer is.
I was doing work on my computer while she was playing her phone on the bed, the smartwatch lights up and I saw Kevin’s name and I was surprised. There was even a preview of the message saying: “Come my home tonight got u another bag”.
I had 2 choices, explode and start questioning her or keep quiet till I can verify.
I choose the latter, I called Kevin and asked if he was free to come over to my house for a drink. He said that he has plans tonight and cannot make it. Then I asked my girlfriend if she was staying the night. She told me that “I going home my mother got cook dinner”.
My girlfriend left my home shortly after, I knew that my girlfriend will take the MRT because Kevin’s house is directly behind an MRT station, I took a cab to his place before my girlfriend reached and “camped” outside his unit near the staircase area.
Within a span of 10 minutes, My girlfriend appeared and Kevin open his door and gave my girlfriend a hug and a kiss when she arrived.
I stomped out and started questioning them!
My girlfriend claimed that it is a misunderstanding and started crying, Kevin looked down and could not speak anything and neither did he defend his actions.
My girlfriend then finally admitted and told me that she did it with him in exchange for branded bags. I told her that is good enough of an answer for me and told her “goodbye”.
Just last night, a female friend of my now ex-GF contacted me and said that she found out that the bags were counterfeit and my ex has regretted her actions and wishes to meet me and hope that I can forgive her.
If she can give her body for a bag, she can do it again. Never will I trust this woman again.
I lost a very good friend and lost my girlfriend. But I’m glad I got something in return, the truth of who they really are.”
