2nd Feb: Pre-ordered a mirror cabinet and paid $280 on the same day. Was told it will take about 3 weeks for it to arrive. He is suppose to turn up to have it installed on 26 Feb, took leave from work to wait for installation but nobody showed up. Installation was then re-scheduled to 3rd Mar but nobody turned up either. No calls/texts to inform. A lot of chasing and seller responded really slowly and always finding a lot of excuses for MIA. In fact, seller has seen all the messages sent but chose not to reply. I have asked for a refund but he hasn’t replied me since 3rd Mar. Please beware of this seller despite having many good reviews, seller has a history of not delivering goods after receiving payment (which I just found out).

There are also feedback that MD.HOME.SOLUTIONS have many complains lately.
A video was recently uploaded on the Facebook page SGRV which shows a car exploding at a multi story carpark.
A woman who was presumably the owner of the car could be heard crying in the background. Shortly after a loud explosion could be heard as the car burst into flames.
A video was recently uploaded on the Facebook page Roads.sg which shows 2 kids standing through the car’s sunroof which exposed their heads.
Such actions are indeed dangerous as no parents would want their children exposed to such risk. It is an offence to operate your car without occupants wearing seat belts. Risking your own loved ones for minutes of fun is simply irresponsible as an adult.

Here is a quick analogy of an actual Kumanthong from siamandbeyond.com:
“A real Kuman Thong is not one of the smiling plastic statues that you see on so many shrines around Thailand. The original and true Kuman Thong is something entirely more sinister and taboo—the art of black magic at its darkest. To make Kuman Thong, one first has to surgically remove a stillborn fetus from its mother’s womb. A ceremony must then be performed by someone well-trained in the ancient secrets of Thai animist necromancy. In a cemetery, at night, the dead baby is dry-roasted over a fire while the necromancer chants the necessary mantras and secret incantations that will bind the spirit of the stillborn child to it. Once dried, the corpse is covered in lacquer and gold foil, which is the original reason for the name Kuman Thong.”
A woman recently posted on her LinkedIn page and complained about casual sexism and gender biasness after coming across an advertisement which was posted by a hardware shop on their Facebook.

Various Singaporeans have recently posted on Facebook after having creepy encounters at a hotel in Bangkok. The hotel in question is Asia Hotel. Asia Hotel in Bangkok is believed to be one of the most haunted hotels in Thailand. Apart from its general spooky and misty atmosphere, some guests have reported hearing crying sounds coming out of the bathrooms, feeling someone touching them when they sleep or seeing strange apparitions wandering around.
Guests have also woken up to see ghostly figures sitting on the sofa staring at them, only to vanish into thin air moments later.
Here are a few stories that were posted on Facebook by fellow Singporeans.
“Sharing a story from my ex boss again. Yes, he has many encounters. Many years ago, he went to Bangkok for a business trip. He put up in Asia Hotel which is a popular hotel among Singaporeans. Ok, I do know the history of the hotel. To what I understand, this hotel has an old and new wing so I do not know which block he put up at. Might be the old one since it was years ago. His room is on the 7th floor. Before his departure, his late mum had went to the temple and pass him a buddha encapsulated in a capsule to bring for the trip. As he is a Christian, he wanted to reject but he doesn’t want to disappoint his mum so he just brought with him. Everything looks fine until one day after his shower. He came out of the bathroom and started to blow dry his hair in front of the mirror. The mirror is just in front of the bed so naturally what you see is the bed in the reflection. While blowing his hair, he saw in the reflection a young girl was sitting on the bed looking very troubled. The girl look just like a normal human but he is staying alone. He turn around to check who is it and there isn’t anyone sitting there. He turn back and look into the mirror and there she was sitting on the bed. He got afraid and started to grab his clothing etc and dash out of the room. When he reach the lobby, he realised that the buddha which he kept in the pocket of one of his garment broke into half inside the capsule. It’s impossible because the capsule is very hard. When he return to Singapore. He told his mum and his mum checked with the temple. She was told that the buddha had block the spirit for my boss and usually young spirits are coming for lives.” – Julian Lim
“When I traveled first time to Bangkok many years ago I booked Asia Hotel. I could feel the hotel was very old and dim. The furniture in the room very old. My boy fall sick n in fever and vomit once inside the room. It was only after I back to Singapore then I know this hotel is haunted and I guess it has something to do with my boy sickness.” – Daniel Lim
“My ex and I went to bkk for a 2days 3nights getaway and we opted for this hotel cos its cheap and close to mrt station and many singaporeans and malaysians like to stay there. we were given this corner room at the end of the corridor. when we entered the room, we did not feel anything at all. we even have sex in the room that afternoon. the next morning i was lying in bed facing my ex bf with my back facing the window. the curtains were drawn and it was daybreak. my eyes were already opened looking at my ex still sleeping. suddenly, i felt the portion of the mattress behind me sank in. it was so obvious because i could feel my back san in a little with the mattress as if someone just sat behind me and put a hand on my arm. i was so frightened and i remembered that i started to chant a buddhlst chant and then i gathered my courage and turn around violently to face my fear. i did not see anything but i knew that was for real. for all who encounter unfriendly spirits, i recommend you memorise some prayers or chants because such spirits get annoyed when human beings start to focus their minds on something powerful. apparently, our bodies throw off sparks of white light when we chant or pray and this should annoy the hell out of them!” – Michelle Heng
“on the 1st night. pple who stay at asia hotel will know. they use those dim orangy lights through the whole hotel. the toilet was quite dim too. when i was washing my face at the basin, when i lift up my head i saw a man’s face right beside mine on the mirror. it was gone within spilt seconds so i thot might be my wrong vision and continue to take my shower. i didnt tell my frds abt it as i dun wan to spoil their mood or over-reacting.
its until 2nd night when we have our dinner. my frds who were stayin at the room next to us told us that they saw black shadowe flashin pass and hear murmurings when they are in their room. so in the end 4 of end up sleeping in our room on the 2nd night. i still not tell them wat i saw at the toliet. it was a wrong decision to move to our room. the feeling when u walk into their room and ours is totally diff. we feel very cosy when entering their room. but our room have that “unoccupied smell” and a pressure when we enter.
before we when back to the hotel, my frd who was stayin with me keep complain she was very sleepy n tired but the weird things is that. once she is back to our room. she just couldnt sleep. while i was sleeping that night, i feel that something was “touching” up and down my body. but to keep calm i told myself its my blood flowing. until the final strike. i start hearing knock sounds from the end of our beds where we put our lagguage. the knock sound keep occuring until i finally cant take it. i wake my frds up who were already sleepin like dead logs. i went forward to check. its the sound make by the handle of my lagguage. when the handle is lifted up, once release it will have the knockin sound.
i told them somethings wrong. without asking much, we rush down to the lobby to request for a change of room. but the reception told us the hotel was already fully book at the moment. Then we realise they might have gave us those “special rooms” becos we insisted of stayin at asia hotel. we stay at the lobby until morning. its the 1st time we encounter such incident. we realise there is a statue of four-face buddha just outside the hotel. there the story continues….
we when back to my room n move all our stuff to the next room. we have our half day city tour on the 3rd day. we told our guide wat happen. his reply is “asia STILL have?”. he told us that it shouldnt happen after they have the statue of four-face buddha there. ” – iLoveCars
