I'm crying as I write this and have been throwing up non stop for the entire day. I have literally got to be the most disgusting and worthless person on earth. Im Sec 4 and had my first relationship this year. My ex was literally my crush for almost the entire 4 years and we were in the talking phase for nearly 2 years before we became official js this year (really long ik). Since young, my mom never failed to call me fat and ugly and worthless. When I think back at it, i just know this is what escalated my ED. I don't want to sound pathetic but I can't control it. It was a really painful period of time. During the talking phase, he made me feel good about myself. He checked up on me during recess to make sure I ate and was super considerate. For reference, early last year I was 170cm and ~40kg. Like an idiot, I really thought I was worth something, that he loved me, and felt motivated to eat at least 2 meals a day. He looked genuinely happy when I put on some weight and I felt so much better in my own skin. After becoming official in February, I can confidently say that it was a healthy and loving relationship. He'd buy me flowers, call me for 2 hours before sleeping, find me during every break. In June, I noticed some changes in his behaviour. He stopped initiating outings, stopped reminding me to eat, like he was drifting away. I put in more effort into the relationship and convinced myself it was because he was mugging for O lvls. Yesterday, we were going home together before he dropped the bombshell on me...he said he wanted to break up. Of course I was immediately taken aback and asked him why. He said, AND I QUOTE, "Your not like attractive to me anymore." I was crying at that point and coughed up why again. With a straight face, he told me I was too fat. I wish I was joking. My world literally crumbled. Just this week, he was singing the 67 song with his guy friends. Certainly not a person that was going to break up with his partner just 2 days after. I haven't left my room at all since then and only drank milk when my stomach couldn't handle the pain anymore. Nothing could compare to the pain in my heart though. I think I cried out all the liquid in me. I want to know, will he love me again if I lose weight? I'm currently 62kg (measured yesterday) .. Am I that fat? There's so many questions left unanswered in my head and I just don't know what to do anymore. I probably sound so stupid and everyone's gonna hate me even more like why am I even ranting to randoms on reddit.. Please, how do I stop hurting?

As per title. It surprises me for a nation that prides in being so efficient and technology advanced, we are lacking Malaysia on this front. KSL/Southkey and most of carpark that I have gone to in malaysia, they accept credit card. Meanwhile after implementing sg parking app which supports credit card, actual gantry ones still make you go top up (which supports credit card) then go pay with cashcard. Any idea why?

this goes for both sides. why are females so comfortable with saying "i hate men" or like "males are insuperior" like i dont get it. are we not supposed to be equals like iswear its so normalized that girls will openly say it and recieve no backlash. do we both not bleed the same colour? why am i being targeted js cs im not a female. and for the guys who always say "girls belong in the kitchen" or "girl grow up become housewife can edi" please grow up. are we that immature as a society that we cant view each other as equals so we have to hate on each other??? even if u had a bad experience w a male/female, idt that justifies it. like a single bad experience does not mean that every single male/female will do you dirty like that. why is hate so normalized. cant we js live in coexistence instead of demoralising the other gender. please mature ah for those who have this mindset you legit got a pea for a brain.
Just randomly came to my mind. Just to get a general idea on how much you have spent on a first meetup or a date(most/least).. You can highlight the reasons/be detailed with your responses etc. As OP i will just say the highest would be $45 (shake shack + dessert after), least would be $11 (drinks at a cafe - Coffeebean)
I have about 5 years of experience in tech. My current annual is about 130,000. New company offering 112,000. Paycut is about 17,000 per year. Better WLB, good medical benefits and general benefits. Current company is very unhealthy despite high pay. Higher than median for my job rank and title. Should I do it.

What are some cool coffee shops, bars, pubs or places in Singapore that you genuinely felt surprised that you had never been there until you stumbled upon it... bored and want to explore something new.

I’m really lost and don’t know who to turn to, so I hope someone here can advise. Earlier this year, I started using Carousell to sell some items. Around May, my Carousell account got suddenly suspended and, out of nowhere, my bank account was frozen by the police — no investigation, no explanation. I called my bank, and they directed me to the scam department. They assigned me an investigation officer. Later, I was told the freeze happened because the previous owner of my phone number was allegedly involved in a Carousell scam back in 2022. I only inherited this number in 2023. The worst part was OCBC was my main bank, and when my account got frozen, I had no access to money at all. I had to borrow money from my employer and parents to get by. The officer eventually said the case was “closed,” but since then OCBC sent me a letter saying they do not want me as their customer & will be shutting down my savings account and all credit cards. Thankfully I managed to quickly open an account with UOB to receive my salary, but when I tried applying for a new credit card there, I was rejected due to my damaged credit score. I tried applying with other banks, such as DBS, etc, and all was rejected for the same reason. Because of the freeze, my insurance and credit card payments were delayed, which led to late fees that weren’t waived. I had to bear all the costs. The most upsetting part? The investigation officer has since ghosted me, and I’ve been left helpless. Even though they said the case was “closed,” it feels like a permanent stain is left on my name, ruining my financial record. So my question is — should I file another police report to officially clear my name? Has anyone been through something like this? I really don’t know what else to do, and it’s been so stressful.

I stay in the East and in one of the areas where NEA releases modified mosquitoes twice a week. Once on Mondays and another one on Thursdays. Just some background, Project Wolbachia is curated by National Environment Agency (NEA) by releasing male Wolbachia-carrying Aedes aegypti (Wolbachia-Aedes) mosquitoes mate with urban female Aedes aegypti that do not carry Wolbachia, their resulting eggs do not hatch. Every week, millions of mosquitoes are released across the island. Btw for the curious ones who wonder how to tell male and female apart, you can see through their antenna (the mouth region there). Male mosquitoes have a bushy antenna almost like a few strands of hair. Female mosquito only has 1 long antenna. Unfortunately for me who stays on a lower floor, I get these swarms of mosquitoes every Monday and Thursday. On normal days, I get maybe more than 10-20 male mosquitoes flying into my house. I initially thought my house was a breeding around but figured out it was not because I got no stagnant water laying around. I tried closing all my windows and doors but who can keep it close forever? Still gotta open it sometimes so that your clothes can dry. Last Monday, I forgot to close my balcony window so I woke up with over 200 mosquitoes in my living room. I have attached a picture for y’all to see. This is only a fraction of what I have killed. Male mosquitoes love to chill around your dark coloured items, on you and fly around your ears so it can be annoying. My saviour is my electric swatter. Some people ask, “omg why are you killing these male mosquitoes?”. Why? It is damn bloody annoying. They will literally swarm your entire house. Imagine taking your bag and you casually just see 10 mosquitoes start flying from it, or you eat your dinner and feel a few mosquitoes landing on your legs and thighs, or you sleep and you hear the high-pitched mosquito buzzing sound around your ears, or you wanna go shit and you just see 5 mosquitoes chilling on the toilet bowl or basin and start flying all over the place while you’re taking a crap. I also have an electric lamp - the one that you plug it into a socket and there will be that blue-ish light surrounded by electrified metal rods. However, I recently read online that it does not actually attract mosquitoes but I alr bought it so might as well just use, and it somehow manages to zap a couple daily too. Imagine having so many mosquitoes that a gadget not having the capability to attract these creatures also can manage to kill it. I emailed NEA before to ask if there was a huge influx in mosquitoes and asked if the release location could be slightly adjusted. Their response was their officers have conducted mosquito inspection and no breeding ground was found. They will sustain mosquito surveillance and eliminate any potential mosquito breeding ground. Here comes the funny part "Additionally, we wish to highlight that the increased mosquito presence you have noticed may be attributed to NEA's ongoing 'Project Wolbachia' in your estate. Residents typically observe a temporary rise in mosquito numbers during the first few days following our scheduled releases on Mondays and Thursdays. Residents may wish to close their doors and windows during these periods to minimise mosquito entry." I mean like what do you mean by first few days? NEA literally releases twice a week on Day 1 Monday and Day 4 Thursday. Don’t first few days just mean everyday? Project Wolbachia is currently still ongoing and expanding, with an estimated 50% coverage by 2026 across the island. So for some of you who stay on the lower floors and not currently getting these male mosquitoes, please brace yourself when the program starts in your area. Also, I was cooking egg early in the morning and I heard a very familiar zapping sound coming from my neighbour downstairs too LOL. Guess electric swatter is their weapon too.

Im in my early twenties, that weird awkward stage whereby I graduated and I’m starting out my career, building something for myself. But whenever i go out on dates with other guys they get so shocked like wow you’re only starting out your job? And mind you they are also in their early twenties. I feel like im in a rat race while dating, to see who’s more accomplished lol. They are so much more interested in my job, how much i earn, what my family does etc nothing is about us. I dont know if it’s just me thats going through this but it is absolutely draining when all they want to know is what i can bring to the table. And after all this even if it goes ‘well’ nothing is exclusive, just see how things go, play it by ear. Convo dies down. I’ve never been in such situations before like previously in uni it felt more relaxed, you have that intuition that you both like each other and mutually take things to the next level. But in this working-dating world is god awful i cant tell who is genuine and who isn’t.
