    • I injured my lower back in the gym a fortnight ago. Went to see the doctor at the clinic(western) then he check and said that it was only a strain. 2 weeks of rest and i will be back to normal again. He also prescribe two packs of painkillers. 90 dollars altogether. wtf. I ate and rest 2 weeks. No gym. No soccer. It still hurts.

      Im going to look for a chinese tie da. Western medicine is expensive and ineffective. Anyone know of good ones around west area. Jurong clementi bukit batok. recommend me please.. thanks a lot guys.

      however do what you can in your power to improve the situation, study hard and get a good job to reduce your parents burden,thats your duty as for now

      dun anyhow confront your uncle,left it to your parents,they will be more upset if they know u confronted them (if u know what i mean) ...


      i thought about it all day, told myself such things can happen in any family. I had a talk with my dad also. He told me to let it go, consider it paying money to know a person's character. And also to consider my mother's feelings, you guys are right. The most important person to me in this entire fiasco is my mother. I'll do whatever i can to give her a good life in future. I'm not going to look him up already. I've decided. I've lost all respect i have for him. not just as an uncle but as a human being. Hope our paths never cross again in future. *The only silver lining to emerge from this would be my extra motivation in the gym to get bigger so as to whoop his pathetic ass. Hes quite a fit guy

    • lol. to be honest i also super dulan. Hopefully my parents would take the legal route. I heard from my friend’s brother who is a lawyer that such personal debts are winnable. Even without an iou, cause personal debts dont usually have ious.

    • This is going to be long, please bear with me.

      It all started a few years ago, when my mother’s younger brother(my uncle) ran into financial difficulty following losses in soccer betting. He approached my parents for a loan and to help him apply for a credit card under my dad’s name. The money amounted to 10k. My dad was reluctant initially but my mom persuaded him to, they were siblings after all, she felt she had to help.

      Along the years my mother brought up the issue of payment to him several times, only to be replied with, “i’ll pay you back when i have the money”. He didnt pay back. His false claims of having no money was accompanied by his extravagant spending. Every new year, his daughters would have the latest handphones and mp3s, branded clothes and all. In addition, his daughter boasted that she had a cash-online card given to her by her dad. My mom would ask him “you said you had no money but there you are, living such an extravagant lifestyle, giving ur daughter a debit card, he replied,”my money, none of your business”(wo de qian bu guan ni de shi).

      Fast forward to this year, my parents are having financial difficulties themselves. Their business is not doing well and my father owes the bank money. They would always quarrel and we had to sell the car and send the maid home. Because of this my mother has tried to asked him about the money, he would get irritated and aggressive over the phone, saying that even if he had the money he wouldnt pay her back. He believed that my family was well to do and it was our obligation to give him the money. Our families have not met for the past 2 chinese new year. My mom would give red packets to her sister to pass it to his kids. He has never once rejected the red packets, gladly taking it, with no red packets given by him whatsoever.

      I’ve seen my mother crying alone in the living room on countless occassions, crying over the loss of a brother and over what she thought initially was a well meaning gesture to help her brother tide over trouble times, has instead serve to distance them to the point of losing their family ties. My dad on the other hand does not want to contact him, saying that he is resigned to never seeing the money again. As the eldest son, i feel helpless seeing my parents struggle to make a living, my mom’s a fruit shop operator, and my dad is getting on with his years. They have to scrimp and save to put their kids through school. I’m 19 this year. And i want to help them get the money back. I plan to head over to my uncle’s place one night(havent been there in like 5-6years) and have a talk with him. I know this is not right, as a chinese saying goes, “let the adults handle the matter, kids shouldnt interfere”. I have thought about going over and beating the shit out of him but its not right, hes my elder after all. I want to go over without my parents knowledge and have a amicable talk with him, explaining my parent’s situation. And hoping that he would have a conscience and return the money. I would love to hear your feedbacks on this. Thanks for taking the time to read this. If you are familiar with the law, and there are any avenues to claim it back. please tell me.

    • all girls like tall guys(1.8 and above) and all tall guys prefer tall girls i think. Cause im 1.85 and i wouldnt really like it if my gf is 1.65 and below. all the girls i dated are 1.65 and above. my current one is 1.69, and she wears heels. so roughly 1.73 like that. Imagine me walking with a girl standing at 1.6m. It would be pretty weird right. Be confident of your height. Many girls i know would kill for it. Being tall is a privilege not many have.

    • I'll be bringing this girl i like to vivocity. We're not an official couple yet but we're dating currently. plan to go to the rooftop there then find a quiet spot then afterwards find the right atmosphere and stuff. ask her toclose her eyes then hold her hands and sing to her. Im comfortable about my singing but then im afraid that it might sound kind of gay.

      im singing now and forever

      okok i update. er went out with her to the beach the other day, walked and held her hand along the beach then sat down to see the waves all those at a shady spot. despite not being in a relationship we still like sit down and she'll lie down on my shoulder, but no lip to lip kisses, just pecks on the foreheads and cheek. I think its pretty much there already probably give her a couple of weeks more. haha

    • going out with her this week probably on wed to the beach.. go for a stroll hold hands etc. then maybe pop the question. but then like a bit weird to ask her to be my girlfriend. are these things better left unspoken? but then i concur with you all about the taking things slow part. the ride would be more enjoyable if we take things slow. I plan to look hold her hands, look deep in her eyes, fang some dian then ask her while sitting down on a bench or sth. woohoo
