“I am a quite down-to-earth fresh grad from NUS (guy) and I have a girlfriend who is quite materialistic (eg. want nice clothes, bag, shoes, big condo etc). I really love her and I understand that different people have different flaw and I am willing to accept her for who she is. Hence, I am trying my best to accommodate her wants whenever possible.
An interesting conversation happened recently and I hope to seek genuine advice. We are planning for our future together and she told me that she definitely want a luxury car in future (BMW, mercedes, Audi etc ). I told her that a car is a depreciating asset and given the high COE price, I feel we should just get an ordinary car (Honda, Toyota) because the primary function of a car is for convenience and transport. When I said these, she became upset instantly. I tried to convince her that the prestige and status of a luxury car is superficial and we can spend the money better to areas such as our child education, insurance or even retirement fund etc.
Instead of being convinced by my points, she countered my argument with a very tricky answer. She said that she want a luxury car not because of the prestige or status but rather its safety. Then she started to talk about how dangerous it is to drive on the road, how she care about me and our future kid’s life etc. She denied that she want a luxury car to show off. She just value our lives alot because she love me. Luxury cars have better safety mechanics and the steel used is strong (ie. wont be less crushed even if get into an accident). She said my life is priceless and she wants to buy a luxury car to protect us from traffic accident and hence the money is worth spending.
Given that I have known her for so long, I am pretty confident (99% confidence interval) that she just want a luxury car to show off but know that it is wrong. Hence, she is reframing in such a way that she cares more about my life.
My best attempt to counter her is that I told her “then you should get a tank right? it’s the safest.” However, given that she knows that we definitely cannot get a tank, she just play along and said “yes i will get it if it is on sale because it is so safe.” I am dam sure she won’t get it even tanks are really available for sale but I cannot prove it.
I really feel that in the current society, people start to condone materialism more and more. Hence, it is not viable for luxury car companies to market their cars solely based on prestige and status. Hence, they are coming up with a new tactic called safety to jack up the price of their car.
But anyway, hope that some smart people can give me some advice on how to resolve this issue? Any car guru around? Is it really true that there is no cheap and safe car?”

Allan Seow could not accept the fact that his ex-girlfriend of 2 months+ initiated a break-up as they are not suited to be together due to Allan having no savings at all and does not save even thou he is working and does not understanding the importance of saving.
With that, he brought along $1,000 which he received partial of his salary on 3 Aug and booked a trip on 4 Aug to Bangkok from 5 Aug to 10 Aug.
On 8 Aug, while still in Bangkok and with so much hatred, he revenged by submitting a feedback to HDB to complain on his ex-girlfriend’s dogs.
In his email, he keep on mentioning ‘breaking the law’ where he himself was just released from Prison in June or July 2016 for a 5 years imprisonment since Year 2012 due to theft on a large scale of diamonds from his previous workplace.
It was shared by himself that he did not have any lawyer for mitigation on his criminal offence, back then.
In June 2016, he was released on parole, on the agreed term with a mandatory of working at ‘Eighteen Chefs’ and a Curfew under the Singapore Law. It was also known that prior to Year 2012, he have also been in and out of jail.
This action of Allan Seow Kok Heng reflects his moral, EI (Emotional Intelligence) and integrity.

I went to Premier@ Kaki Bukit, 8 Kaki Bukit Avenue 4 to view a car. Due to space constraint there was no place to park my vehicle. I called the dealer and he say just park anywhere as long as there’s space.
Being kia-si i took some time to eventually found an empty space in front of unit #04-48 which looks like an abandoned unit without even company name or signage, and being kia-su i even stuck on a post-it note on my cashcard reader with my NAME and MOBILE clearly written in case if anyone found me obstructing they can give me a call.
I only realised 2hours ago that my rear wiper blade was ripped off!
Thank God i’ve front & back car camera. Tracing back the car camera footage, i was horrified that the culprit is actually the owner of #04-48. 2.24pm he ripped it off, i got back to my car at 2.34(which was 10mins later) and drove off.
Can someone advise me if going to the police now and making a report is going to help?
Found this boy alone at Blk 507 jurong west crossing the road. Can anyone help pass around to find who is his parent? Already send him to Hong kah south neighborhood police post

According to a friend of the video taker, the couple not only refused to pay for the damage, they also threatened and were rude to the driver of the vehicle.
After the male rider refused to hand over his particulars and only offered $100 for damages to the car’s rear end, the driver called the traffic police.
However, the male rider tried to intimidate the driver by saying that it’s pointless to report police as he is also a police officer. The driver later discovered that the rider was a Cisco security officer.
