Chua hired the woman as an escort and paid her a SGD$2,500 a month, this lasted from 2011 to 2018.

But their relationship came to an end in 2018, Chua did not take kindly to the breakup and demanded the woman to return a year worth of allowance that was given to her which amounted to SGD$30,000.

The woman did not comply and Chua send tons of messages to harass the woman. He eventually send two photos of the woman which showed her performing a sex act with her mouth and another of her naked.

Chua said that he might send these photos to her family and friends.

The Police were eventually alerted and Chua’s home was raided the Police found 8 videos of them “in the act”. The videos were all filmed using a spy camera.

A photo emerged online showing a xiao didi climbing on top of a rubbish bin and squatting on top of it.

A netizen shared how she is average looking but awkward.

She said that she can talk to guys but the things that she talks about is very factual and just normal friendly jokes.

She said that she doesn’t know how to flirt and is asking for advice on how to train herself to become more flirty.

Here is the story:

“Is there a way to train yourself to be more flirty?

I am average looking but I am awkward. I can talk to guys but the things I talk about is usually factual stuff and normal friendly jokes. I can’t seem to flirt. I have not tried because i can imagine the whole scenario turning very awkward and weird…

It just sucks that flirting is second nature to some people. They can just do it without much conscious effort. Even though they are not super good looking, by flirting it just increases their attractiveness exponentially and I am really envious of that skill.

Do you guys have any tips to share?”
