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?
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 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.
One of the biggest problems is how similar everything looks. A vape used for nicotine looks nearly identical to one used for other drugs. They are often small, sleek, and discreet, which makes them perfect for flying under the radar. When police, teachers, or even parents see someone with a vape, it is hard to tell what is actually inside it without lab testing or advanced tools. And the truth is, no one has the time or resources to test every single vape they come across. Legalization also makes vaping more socially acceptable. Once something becomes legal, people feel more comfortable using it out in the open. This creates a kind of smoke screen for those who are vaping drugs illegally. In a crowd where vaping is common, it is much easier to hide illegal activity. Drug vapers can blend right in, and no one thinks twice unless there is a strong smell or someone gets caught red-handed. Another issue is the sheer number of vape devices now in circulation. Once vaping becomes legal, the market floods with all kinds of devices, e-liquids, and accessories. With so many products available, it becomes almost impossible to monitor everything. Illicit products can easily slip through the cracks, and law enforcement simply does not have the resources to keep up. On top of that, legal vape pens are often refillable. This means someone can buy a perfectly legal device, then fill it with a drug-based liquid, and no one would know the difference. It is a loophole that is hard to close without placing tight restrictions on all vapes, which would defeat the purpose of legalization in the first place.
