Freeloaders come in all sorts. They are self-centered and refused to admit that they are. I had my fair share of experience with some of them.

• They love to live off other people’s lives and don’t pay for anything and never pay you back.
• They refused to contribute and whenever you ask them to, they would tell you that they are broke. They would rather spend on cigarettes and beer.
• Better still, they totally ignore you and act blur when you talk to them about it.
• They kept giving the excuse that they have tons of loans and bills to pay for. Who doesn’t?
• They would ask you to pay for their meals or other stuff, out of the blue.
• They are lazy and take advantage of your kindness and generosity and refused to admit that they ARE lazy.
• They will jump at any chance to leech you off. Yes, ANY CHANCE.
• They expect you to return the favor IF they had helped you.
• They will get irritated and complain that you are stingy if you forced them to pay.

Do all these sound familiar to anyone of you?

Has anyone met with a freeloader before? How do you deal with them? Share your story with me!

SINGAPOREANS can look forward to nine long weekends next year as all public holidays except one fall on the weekend, Friday or Monday.

The only one that falls on a weekday is Hari Raya Haji on Nov 17, a Wednesday.

Starting with the first day of the New Year on a Friday, long weekends follow with Chinese New Year falling on Feb 14, Sunday, and Feb 15, Monday. This means that Feb 16, Tuesday, will also be a public holiday.

Good Friday, Vesak Day and Deepavali all fall on Fridays, while Labour Day and Christmas Day will be Saturdays.

MOM also reminds the public that Deepavali this year will fall on Oct 17, Saturday, instead of Nov 15, Sunday, after verification against the Indian Almanac.

This year, seven out of the 11 public holidays were long weekends.

SHIOK! Short trips, anyone?

Have you seen the new reserved signs in the MRT? I noticed them while on my way back from town.

Here’s a closer look on the signage. It reads “Reserved Seating” rather than the previously used “Priority Seat”. I don’t see the need for a change. Do you think the majority of Singaporeans bother about it? Do these inconsiderate people care? I still see people sitting on those seats even with the signage in full glory. No point making the illustrations and font sizes larger

Look at Europe, or even our neighboring countries like Taiwan and Hong Kong. Often, these seats would be left empty for those who needed it more. Isn’t that great? We should be ashamed!

Another implementation by LTA are the queue lines on the floor. Does it matter? People shoved their way in and refused to let passengers alight first

Do you think this programme is gonna be successful? I doubt it’s easy to change the spirit of kiasuism in Singaporeans

Something interesting to share :joy:

Wallets are a lot like guys.

You really have to take good care of, because if you won’t, something might happen.

I know what this means. I just lost a wallet, and I just lost a guy. You know, it’s the exact same thing. One day, you just realize it’s gone. You try to look for it everywhere, even going back to the places where you could have lost it. You think, and you think hard, only to come upon a grim realization: it’s really gone. Of course, you can hold on to some hope. After all, there have been some very, very lucky (blessed?) people who get it back. Perhaps you could become one of those people.

You sit home and you hope that someone would call, and that you would get it back. But then, some time passes, and you realize that it’s still gone, and you realize that it’s time to let go. The first few days, you turn to your friends for support. Some tell you you’ll be ok, some tell you that it was your fault and that you should have been more careful, and some tell you about their own experiences. They give you all sorts of advice, none you haven’t heard before. You then go out to find a new wallet, only to realize that you don’t really want a new one. You want the old one that you lost. No, you don’t want all these better-looking wallets, you want yours, because of how comfortable it is, because of all the cards and pictures and other stuff in it. You go out and carry on without a wallet, keeping your money in your pocket instead.

You throw away stuff that you would have held on to if you had your old wallet. And then, finally, you find a new wallet you like and settle in. You then start filling your new wallet, little by little. It still doesn’t feel as comfortable as the old one, but it’s getting there. Then you start putting in cards and pictures and other important stuff in the wallet. Soon enough, there’s as much stuff in your new wallet as the old one. And then, after some time, you feel as comfortable with your new wallet. And then you realize that you’ve almost forgotten you ever had your old wallet. Sure, you still remember most of the stuff you lost on that wallet. But then again, you don’t remember the feeling of hurt that you felt when you lost it. That’s because that wallet you lost is no longer your wallet. You’re no longer holding on.

This new wallet you’re holding, it has all the important cards and pictures and stuff that you need. This is your wallet. And this time, you tell yourself, you’re never losing this one.

A great piece of article for you to ponder over :wiggle:
