Yesterday I booked a hitch 1 hour earlier before work and only able to reached my phone until I end my work. As soon as I ended I text the hitch driver and told her that I will be ready by 5:05pm instead of a later timing, my intentions was if she was nearby she can come early to pick me instead of waiting and her respond was so digusted where she stated if you can’t wait then cancel (twice she mentioned) and followed by saying she will be late.
Out of courtesy i just inform her about the timing with no other intentions. I did not take it to heart as I feel maybe there might be a miscommunications and I took awhile to reply her because I’m still at working area… but she sound like impatience.
After work I asked my gf to join me for the hitch ride since she is heading the same direction.
P/S: I forgotten that I need to inform the hitch driver that I have 1 more person with me so apparently I did make a mistake too.
The hitch driver lost her way so she call me and I tried explaining to her where I’m located but she seems clueless and insisted saying that she have reached according to the gps pin point. And I told her I don’t see you, you might have gone to the wrong location or entrance. She told me she was at V entrance where I got no idea where is that and I suggested her to check with the guardhouse. She sound unhappy and start raising her voice at me by saying “You work here you don’t know where izzit???!!!” I was so angry and I told her I only work here occasionally!!!
What kind of attitude is that!!! I don’t bother saying too much so I just hang up.
Finally she reached, my gf and I get into the car, when the trip started she suddenly start to throw her anger and asked: Why 2 pax? Why not 1 pax? Why you didn’t state? Why you didn’t inform me in the 1st place? And she accused me for been ‘DISHONEST’ for not informing her in the first place!!!
And the funny part was she insist to argue by saying I can only fetch 1 person instead of 2 because you all are very ‘HEAVY’ and will ‘SPOILT’ the car!!!
What nonsenses is this???!!! 1st time in my life i hear such!!!
FYI: My gf weighing at 45kg and me weighing at 46kg!!! Wah I didn’t know this will ‘SPOILT’ your car. I was like if you can’t accept then cancel the booking which I can even forgo the $. And she say there no way to cancel. In the end she felt that she got no choice and fetch both of us in a reluctant way.
Well, I didn’t force you, I can just get off the car with my friend and forgo the $. Cause you are just simply been ridiculous and I’m disgusted by your behaviour.
If you are so afraid of your car getting spoilt then don’t bother to drive hitch!!!
Had largely forgotten about this until now, but thankfully a journalist observed that one moment in the final 8.9km loop of the 2017 SEA Games Marathon when I grabbed my water bottle at a designated hydration station, then saw Agus miss his drink.
I took a swig, then offered the remainder of my isotonic drink to Agus. He declined, but after the race, had this to say to the Indonesian media:
“Yes, that means that even if we are enemies on the field, we still maintain sportsmanship, he can drink, I do not take a drink, so he gave me a chance if I would take (his drink).”
The Ministry of Education (MOE) has slammed alternative news website Mothership.sg for posting a “fake news” story, which claimed that an MOE Director-General of Education had said that Singapore students do well in international academic tests because of a pedagogy emphasizing “standardized test drilling and a culture of compliance.”
“This is fake news,” MOE wrote on Mothership.sg’s Facebook. “We are disappointed that your website would circulate such false comments. We would appreciate it if you could remove the article immediately or at least print a correction.”
This is the second time the alternative news website has gotten into trouble over its news reporting.
Earlier this month, Mothership and the fake impersonator page, Salleh Marican For President, came under fire from the presidential hopeful’s team after the troll page published remarks about the hijab under his name without authorization, while Mothership wrongly attributed those same comments to him.

I bought this just over an hour ago from Kangkar outlet and found worm when preparing for dinner.
Called this outlet and was told to bring back for exchange but since I couldnt as it was rather far from my place, the receiver advised me to bag it and exchange tomorrow. *eeeks!!!*
Called head office, retold story again and requested to do an exchange at a outlet near my residence but was told it is their exchange policy to do it only at branch item was purchased. Fine. Mission impossible. Who in the right mind would keep a bag of rotten food with worm till they are able to visit the branch to exchange?!?
AND THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME SUCH THING HAPPENED ON MY PURCHASE OF WORM-FILLED CORN FROM NTUC. IT WAS MY 2ND TIME.
