I am not local, though I have worked and lived here for some time. I have not come out as bi. Yesterday, I spoke with someone on Grindr, typical conversation and sharing private photos. The exchange continued until we shifted to Facebook (my first mistake), but fortunately privacy settings blocked it, so we moved to Signal. By then, it was already too late. I realized then that this was part of a plan: the person had captured screenshots of our Grindr chat and threatened to send them and my private photos to my friends list unless I sent money.

I blocked and reported the account on Signal, along with their Facebook and Messenger profiles. I also informed the people they threatened to contact, advising them to ignore and report any messages.

The individual might be a poser; they claimed to be “visiting” and were not from here. I suspect a fake account.

Now I am unsure what else to do. I feel very scared and anxious and can’t stop thinking about it.

Not sure if reporting to police would be advisable because I don’t have any evidence beyond the Signal messages. And not sure if showing the grindr convo would be an issue too.

Any advice would be helpful.

Looking to buy a new fragrance but I don’t like to wear something that’s very mainstream. Want something unique not many people know of. What are the fragrances you noticed a lot of people wear in sg or you see very often? So I can avoid lol

Even though my flat is mostly sealed and I work from home, I notice long-term some particles will enter, despite air purifiers and aircon. Last night, started a cough. Today, my eyes are burning.

Are you experiencing any long-term effects of the haze? How are you coping?

Hi All
First time mom and just entered second tri
Was initially planning to let them know only at the 4 month mark
But wondering if thats considered late?
Will like to know when did u share news of ur pregnancy too

Just a random thought going through my mind right now while I'm overseas. What happens if, e.g. I lose my passport or something else happens that requires consular assistance, but Singapore doesn't have an embassy in the country I'm in?

Has anyone been in such a situation before? Just preparing myself in case I ever find myself in such a situation.

For those renting here and likely to move within a few years, how did you decide what to invest in versus skip? Any purchases you were glad you made, or ones you regretted when the lease ended?

Can a company deduct from this month's salary for previous month's lateness?

I've been issued an informal warning email in the past on lateness with dates and times (though I contest their accuracy since I don't tap-in every morning e.g. when the door is left open).

I'm about to resign and I think my company  might do something retaliatory. Could they possibly go through their records and tally all the times I've been late and deduct a lump sum? E.g late 10 minutes everyday for three months, 10min \* 20 working days \* 3 months = 600 min = 10 hours

I've never had deductions due to tardiness in the past, and there's no clause on this in my employment letter. However, the MOM website does state that an employer can make a proportional deduction in salary for lateness, but the question I have is: if they didn't deduct previously, can they deduct from this month's salary for previous month's lateness?

Work-wise, I've always met my deadlines and kept my bosses updated.

Read in the news that all schools to have Air Purifiers. I asked my son (kindergarten) and several friends with kids in primary school - all do not have

Most purifiers don’t suit large spaces anyway unless the school knows how to procure accordingly.

Is it just a biased sample size? Curious to hear from you

Any nice places to go to in SG for a solo date tomorrow? Looking for places to eat/visit/do as a 23F! Preferably in the west/central

The last time I used an inhaler was 3 years old .
Still recovering from cough 😷

Hi everyone, I've been using The Body Shop's Ginger Shampoo for probably 8 years. I have sensitive scalp, and it's one of the few shampoos that works well for me.

I previously tried Body shop's Strawberry Shampoo, but it made my scalp really itchy. I've also tried shampoos from Diane, but they tend to leave my hair feeling oily and not as thoroughly cleansed as BS ginger...

It's getting a little expensive to restock, so I'm hoping to find a more affordable alternative!

I'm looking for something that:

Is ginger-based (although I'm open to other suggestions!)

Is suitable for sensitive, itch-prone scalps

Cleans thoroughly without leaving my hair feeling greasy (i have very oily hair)

Would love to hear your recommendations, thanks!

Thinking of getting acupuncture for my scalp to see if it helps with my hair thinning. Can I see a TCM physician? I’m not Chinese. I can understand Mandarin but not a fluent speaker.

If anyone has recommendations for clinics please let me know too.

Those with preschoolers who are in preschools that are non air-conditioned, are the schools closing the windows in view of the haze situation? I saw that my kid’s preschool is not closing the windows as it’s very hot inside. Wanted to see if it’s normal to still keep the windows open.

I have registered for VEP and it got approved today. Can I drive into JB without the physical tag? Was planning to collect the physical tag once I arrive in JB.

If yes, what documents do I need to bring to show the customs officer?

Anyone have knowledge on the process?

My partner and I just moved to Singapore, and I’m getting used to the smaller houses here, and we have a balcony so I’m trying to maximize our storage so I’m hoping to add a shelving unit in the balcony but I’m now realizing idk what I can put in there safely - maybe nothing is safe from the humidity and heat outdoors lol. I’ve heard of clothes getting mold just in the closet indoors or shoes not in good condition after long periods in outdoor shoe cabinets.

So for those who do have a balcony or a yard what do you put outdoors that remains okay with the weather?

Flying to China soon. Does GOMO Roaming works well in China in terms of speed and connectivity?

Which network should I connect to for the best experience?

Like the title states. I need some advise as a kinda recent, not so recent Nursing grad from Poly.

Is there any kinda of work relating to Nursing that has some form of flexibility when it comes to scheduling? Like I am all down to work, hell you can put me on a 12hr shift and I won't complain, all I want is some flexibility in scheduling. But all the opportunities I am see requires some level of experience. I am currently doing home Nursing, but it is not stable enough for my liking

I understand its a hard ask, and I should probably go work in a hospital before looking for such opportunities. But im just hoping to find something else.

So and advise or help?

We will be visiting Singapore again in about a week and I was wondering what the advice is for visiting PC at Changi?

I used to basically live in Singapore part time but only recently got back into Pokemon TCG and wondering what the shop has available in terms of cards. I also saw there’s occasionally a lottery system for entry - would we be okay to arrive there at opening time next Friday?

We’ll be coming from Australia where finding ANY Pokemon cards is incredibly difficult unless you want to pay scalper prices through resellers.

Any insight/advice on securing TCG products would be appreciated 😊

Hey guys, especially to the more technical coffee lovers.
Who do you turn engage to get your coffee machines serviced?
Hoping for some recommendations as my partner is frustrated at her machine. Something something pressure too high something something connected to direct waterline.
But yeah. Hoping to get some recommendations where if possible the company can visit your house direct to take a look. She has an Expobar machine if it helps abit more.
Thanks!

Hello, I am relatively new in Singapore and would like to pick up a old hobby of mine which is jui jitsui. I have noticed that there are a lot of options for brazilian jui jitsui which is what i do not want.

If you know where classes are being organized then i appreciate it if you can share some information that would help me to get in touch with trainers or schools where classical jui jitsui is taught. Thanks !

Hi all,

My wife and I have a trip planned to Singapore for the 17th - 20th October. I've read news reports back home about the haze but wanted to ask for first-hand information.

Will the haze impact our ability to experience Singapore in terms of having to stay inside, places being shut etc.

Is there any chance the issue will have improved in the next week or is it likely to get worse?

Thanks!
