A netizen, Andrew Wong, shared how he was having dinner at a hawker centre when the cleaner, an old woman in her late 70s came to collect his food tray.
She then later told him that she left some money at a drink stall because she wanted to buy him a drink.
She later revealed that it was because she saw him eating spicy ban mian and was sweating profusely.
You can read his post in full below:
“Found love in a hopeless place
We were having dinner. Fried oyster and chilli ban mian. When she came over to remove the serving tray, we told her we needed it to return the cutlery to the cleaning station.
She told me that won’t be necessary because she will clean the table after we are done. It will be even more troublesome for her to push the trolley to the tray return station and send the used cutlery to the cleaning station. She said she works fast, so these won’t be on the table for long.
She looks rather old, late 70s and perhaps 80s, short and frail! We felt quite sorry. We did however notice she works pretty fast for a lady her age!
A few moment later when she passed by our table, she stopped and through the mask she mumbled something like “buying a drink” in Hokkien. I thought she was asking if we could get her a drink. I am all ready for that but when I asked what she would like to drink.
She said: “No, No, I want to buy both of you a drink! I have left some money at the drink stall already. Do you want a cold drink?” We were dumbfounded and didn’t know what to reply.
Politely we told her that is not necessary and tried to explain we don’t drink beverage while eating (quite a lie actually- depending on what drink lah).
We chatted for a while and asked if she had dinner and if we can get her some food. “How about orh luak? This one we are eating is really good” She laughed and explained that what I am having is orh jian and it is different and she said she had eaten. She then left to carry on with her work.
We were all confused but at the same time pretty ashamed of what we were thinking. Something struck my mind. We were having a very spicy bowl of ban mian and I was sweating profusely. I ran to her and asked “Aunty, do you mind if I ask you something. Did you want to buy me a drink because you saw me perspiring, in agony?”
She broke into a hearty giggle and nodded her head. We looked at each other and had a good laugh, then bid farewell.
I promised I will come back to see her again and maybe we can have a drink together. She told me she works there every evening and if I do come by, say hello.
We were greatly humbled this evening but our heart was warmly touched by her big heartedness to a pair of strangers!”
A netizen shared about how she has been living alone in a haunted home and due to her financial issues, she can’t afford to move out.
She described being plagued by poltergeist activity, hearing footsteps all over her home at night.
Knocks were also heard around her house, sometimes the knocks even come from inside the walls.
She wrote that once, her house had a blackout and she was navigating around in her home with a torchlight; she then saw what she believed to be the ghost that has been haunting her – a black silhouette peeking out from behind a door.
One night, she fell asleep in the living room and was woken up in the middle of the night by a really loud bang from the kitchen, which startled her awake.
She then made her way into the kitchen to check and see what happened, and what she saw freaked her out.
All the cabinets in her kitchen were opened.
She bolted out of the house without even thinking twice.

A netizen shared how his nerves (coupled with diarrhoea) got the better of him during his date with a girl.
The netizen, a man named Benny (names have been changed to protect his identity) was on a first date with a girl he met on Tinder.
They had lunch and finished watching a movie, and were at a bar having a few drinks when he felt the urge to fart.
At first he held his fart in, and continued conversating with his date, sharing little titbits and chatting to get to know each other.
He said that it was all going really well and they had a great time, so far.
And then he really had to fart and he couldn’t hold it in any longer, so he let it rip.
But then he felt a moist, wet sensation on his backside; worried, he excused himself and went to the toilet to check.
He had laosai-ed on himself.
He tried to clean himself up but the sh*t was all over his backside, it had gotten onto his jeans and his underwear was pretty much past tense by now.
He threw away his underwear and cleaned himself as much as he could but the smell of the sh*t was too strong.
He then returned to his table and told his date what happened, and he then left.
More than a few weeks later, Benny then updated on his situation with the girl; he said that they haven’t spoken at all since he left her at the bar to go home and clean his sh*t.

I woman talk about something money cannot buy and her story is a major turn for most man. She shares the importance of a man’s character over money.
Here is the Story:
I would like to share my story of why money is not what woman are looking for.
When I first met my husband, he was not attractive. He doesn’t sweet talk or brings me to nice places. I got together with me as I was eligible age to get married and I have nothing to complain about him. Previously, I dated many guys online who are sweet talkers, confident, a mind of their own, earn some money etc. But most of them end up 2 timing or 3,4,5 timing me. I didn’t know how much he earns, I just felt comfortable with him.
Naturally, we got together and got a BTO after 7 months of dating. After that, then he proposes to be at a car park and we moved in to live with his family. His career wasn’t that stable. At one time in time, he was merely earning $4k a year as a self-employed person. My career was good and at one point, I was earning 33 times what he earned. While staying with his family, we have many conflicts with his siblings. He never once sides with him or argues with me for them. His only soft spot is his mum, where he would just keep quiet when I complain at times. Although he earns 20% of what I earn now, he still pays every time we go out. I pay for big-ticket items like a house, car and holidays while he pays for everyday expenses. I felt love as I know he is not stingy or calculative with his money and spends everything he has on our family.
He always says his money is my money.
I graduated from NUS while he graduates from an overseas university. I never feel that he is stupid. In fact, I learn a lot from him as he watches a lot of documentaries and has lots of common sense. I may have better education from him, but he taught me many things about life. In fact, the boring guy he was 10 years ago, has turned into a sweet talker. He still praises me, give me confidence and hug and touch me at times. He also pays attention to me. Whenever I am in pain, I would scream and he will appear immediately. Although I paid for the car, he drives me around and fetches me wherever I go.
He would call me and pick me up without me asking. Sometimes, I would reject him as I feel is a waste of petrol and he would still insist. I may not be the ideal woman to marry.
I can’t cook well, I don’t take care of kids that well, I don’t clean well. But he never complains about me. He loves me the way I am. Sometimes I think what have I done to deserve such a good man like him.
Sometimes I will say he is almost perfect, if he earns more he will be perfect. I am still a money-minded woman. Money is still very important to me. It is ironic that my husband is not rich, but I love him the way he is as his character is more important than anything else. If you ask the younger me if I will date someone who earns lesser than me, I will say no.
But character is actually more important than how much he earns.
