A friend who always likes to show off and acts atas in front of his friends got screwed by his friends after he wanted to pretend to be an alcohol connoisseur (expert).
Here is the story:
I need to share this joke about this joker who is not very smart, his name is David. He always likes to hao lian from the smallest “pea-size” topics to the biggest he can think of and we decided to prank him.
He told me that he will be coming in for a drink at my house with another common friend of mine and said that he wishes to taste my whisky collection as he knows how to appreciate expensive alcohol.
My other friend and I decided to pull an epic prank from him, I had an empty bottle of 18-year-old Yamazaki Whisky lying around which typically cost over a thousand dollars.
We went to the supermarket and bought a bottle Hua diao jiu which is used for cooking Chinese food and we filled the Yamazaki bottle with the cooking wine. We then added a spoon of honey into the bottle and shake it.
The hao lian friend came over and wanted to drink nice whisky so I served him the special drink that I made and told him the bottle is worth over a thousand dollars. He asks why does it taste slightly sweet, I replied with a question instead “Do you taste the sweetness of the japan exclusive 200-year-old oak barrel from the mountains of mt Fukuyama that was drank by the 3rd samurai shogun”.
My other friend was holding his laughter and Mr hao lian said it is excellent and he wanted more, he then asked why we did not drink the whisky as well. We said, “today is beer day”.
Till today he still thinks that the Hua diao jiu with honey is Yamazaki whisky.

Despite tightened Covid-19 measures, students will sit for oral exams in person for Primary School Leaving Examination (PSLE) and O-level this year.
Singapore Examinations and Assessment Board (SEAB) said that oral exams are conducted in-person to align with how students are taught languages through face to face communication in school.
“A change in the mode of the oral examination would result in candidates being less prepared to perform and interact with the examiners in an online setting,” SEAB said
“Face-to-face interactions also allow the oral examiners to observe the candidates more closely and provide prompts to candidates, if needed.” SEAB added
SEAB is working with schools to implement safe distancing measures, such as placing a clear plastic shield between students and examiners to ensure safety.
SEAB said that they will continue to observe the covid-19 situation and provide updates.
A video was recently uploaded on Youtube which shows a man running over a young girl as he tries to escape from an angry mob in China.
It is believed that he knocked the girl down before running over her to escape. A passerby rammed his car into the assailant’s to prevent him from trying to escape. The angry mob then dragged the man out of his car before beating him up.
Block 63 to 66 in Taman Jurong, Yung Kuang Road are seriously creepy, especially when you consider the fact that they used to be infamous sites for suicides and deaths.
These 4 blocks are easily recognised because of the four diamond-shaped blocks. The 4 blocks were empty before but it was turned into housing for lower-income families. This place was a favourite with junkies too as plastic bags containing sniffed glue and syringes can be found strewn all over, which was probably one of the reasons why there are so many instances of people jumping to their deaths…
There are many stories behind these 4 infamous blocks which led to many Singaporeans considering this place as the most haunted HDB in Singapore. These suicides and deaths that occurred on the premises are indeed true based on old newspaper records.
LOCATION OF ALL SUICIDES THROUGH THE YEARS AT YUNG KUANG ROAD
In the 1980s, two children aged one and three fell to their deaths from block 64 in the 1980s. It is believed that from the 70s, there would be 1 suicide case every couple of years and the worst case was when a pregnant lady actually jumped to hear death and she landed on a bamboo tree which pierced through her body.
Thrill-seekers who frequented the area for chance sightings have also reported feeling strange and some even developed fevers.
Due to the tightened restrictions of the Phase 2 (Heightened Alert), dining-in is banned at all F&B establishments.
Those who can’t buy food back to their homes and office to eat while having a break from their jobs have been inconvenienced by this, with many finding alternative places to have their meals.
However, Punggol West MP Sun Xueling has said that these area can be an area of congregation and bring about (Covid-19) community risk.
Therefore, the coffeeshop rest areas at Punggol Block 269A and 308C, which are meant for drivers and riders to have their meals, will be removed.
Sun said that the riders and drivers have the options to eat at open areas like void decks and parks.
She also highlighted the Pay It Forward initiative at 2 coffeeshops where people can show their care for riders and drivers by buying them a free drink, as well as a box to express food wishes and free masks for them.
