Mistakenly undercharged $198 for a lobster dish at a Siglap eatery, a family returned the next day to pay the correct amount.
In a heartwarming Facebook post on Thursday (Feb 19), the owner of Cheng Ji Seafood Restaurant thanked the diners for their honesty.
Owner Dai Xingying (transliteration) told Shin Min Daily News that she had wrongly keyed in the price of two small Australian lobsters as $2 instead of $200 when calculating the bill for the family of four.
The error went unnoticed due to the bustling Chinese New Year (CNY) crowd, and Dai did not find any discrepancies when recording their sales at the end of the day.
To her surprise, two teenagers from the family returned on Thursday night to inform her that they had been undercharged.
The restaurant owner had mistakenly charged the family $2 instead of $200 for a lobster dish on Feb 18.
The Afghan people and their devotion to their homeland.
This song is from the year 2021 just when the USA fled and the Taliban took over Afghanistan and the effect of USA interference was the death of many of these young Afghan soldiers.
Imagine the trillions spent by USA on unnecessary wars all over the world and in the 20 year period USA spent from 2001 to 2021 this is what USA spent in Afghanistan
--- The United States spent over $2.3 trillion on the war in Afghanistan between 2001 and 2021. This should have been spent on the people of USA itself
The newly formed Sikhs in Punjab were about 300 years ago attacked by the Afghan armies on many occassions but at the end the Sikhs were able to defeat the resilient Afghans and this changed the course of history of the entire Indian subcontinet which also led to a stop of all land invasions from the marauding Muslim armies from the North West of India.
The USA, British and the Russians armies invaded Afghanistan but all ran away with tails between their legs.
The only people who have ever defeated the Afghans were the Sikhs. These foreign invaders should have just asked the Sikh Regiment to fight their war in Afghanistan.
lol
And now the love and devotion the Afghans have for their land when it fell back to the Taliban.
"Da Watan Wadan Watan Da De Loy Afghan Watan" is a Pashto phrase meaning "This land, a prosperous land, this great Afghan land" used in patriotic songs to express love and pride for Afghanistan.

Desperate mom gives herself an emergency C-section, saving both of their lives Bringing life into the world isn’t always as joyous as the media portrays. Several parents come through childbirth with physical, mental, and emotional trauma. But even among the most traumatic deliveries, the birth story of Inés Ramíez, a mother of nine in Mexico, likely catapults to the top of the list of the world’s most traumatic births.
The International Journal of Gynecology and Obstetrics reveals in a case report originally published in December 2003, that a 40-year-old mother of nine gave herself an emergency cesarean section and lived to tell the tale. This wasn’t a self-inflicted operation to test her fortitude and pain tolerance. This was an act of desperation, utilizing different areas of personal experience to guide her actions.
The mother lived in Oaxaca, a remote mountain town in Mexico without access to a local hospital. After delivering eight previous children, she’s an expert on how childbirth is supposed to go, but during her eighth pregnancy, something went wrong. Labor didn’t progress as it should’ve, and the baby couldn’t descend through the birth canal properly, resulting in a stillbirth.
Living in an extremely rural area with little access to everyday necessities, Ramíez was accustomed to seeing goats slaughtered for food. This knowledge came in handy when she went into labor with her ninth child at home with no other adult around to assist. When her labor stalled, showing the same signs as her previous pregnancy that ended in a stillbirth, the mom became desperate. According to the report she gave the hospital, she knew she had to get the baby out quickly, so she took three shots of hard liquor and cut into her belly. Ramíez’s husband was away deer hunting with no idea what was going on at home.
OBGYN Shannon M. Clark shares the story on her Instagram page explaining how the mother was able to successfully perform her own C-section without dying from blood loss.
“She did a right paramedian incision vertically to gain access to her abdomen, so likely she entered somewhere near the midline between the rectus muscles, and then she cut her uterus in the same direction and delivered the male fetus. She didn’t report a lot of bleeding, but having done these a gajillion times, incisions that are up and down, either right to the side of the belly button, or above it, or below it, actually do not bleed very much because you get right in between those rectus muscles, and you avoid a lot of vessels that way,” Clark explains.
It took her about an hour to complete the emergency surgery. Before passing out, likely from pain and shock, she directed one of her children to get her cousin, who is a local health assistant. The cousin arrived to find the mother still passed out with a gaping wound. Being that the community is so rural, her cousin didn’t have proper sutures, so she used a regular sewing needle and cotton thread to close the mother’s abdomen. The cousin then transported Ramíez in her car to the nearest clinic, 2.5 hours away, to stabilize her before continuing the drive to the hospital, which is eight hours away.
After making it to the hospital, the doctors there were able to perform surgery to make sure nothing was amiss. They repaired her uterus and abdomen 16 hours after she performed her own C-section with a butcher’s knife. The mother healed well, leaving what appears to be a thin scar about six inches long next to her belly button.
People who watched Clark’s video can’t fathom having the strength to do the same thing, with one woman writing, “I’m a nurse and I don’t think I could do this to myself. To someone else, maaaaaybe, but I’m not sure. The nurse who came out and used a needle and thread to sew this lady up was also incredible.”

Another says, “Well, when you’re on pregnancy number 9 you’re pretty much a professional. Whatever brand of liquor she drank should hire her to advertise. Never underestimate the power of love, adrenaline and survival instinct.”
A Malaysian couple's love story has stood the test of time even after the wife lost most of her memory following an accident almost a decade ago.
The accident not only affected her recollection, which put a strain on their marriage, but also their family as their children were still young then.
In a TikTok video uploaded on Friday (May 1), the wife expresses her gratitude towards her husband for standing by her all these years: "I did not make a mistake in choosing him as my husband."
Her husband decided to marry her again in a surprise ceremony at home executed with the help of their two boys and a videographer.
"It was my responsibility. No matter what the obstacles are, we have to face it and not run away from problems," shared the husband in the video.
The couple, dressed in matching traditional outfits, walked into the house, where their children greeted them by tossing flower petals into the air.
The touching gesture moved his wife to tears as he slipped her original wedding ring onto her finger.
In the video, her husband also declared his love. "I don't want to give her anything else but my heart."
The TikTok video has since garnered more than 525,000 likes, over 124,000 shares and more that 7,600 comments.
Netizens were touched by the couple's love story.
"His sons are... going to grow up being gentlemen. Thank you for being a good man to your wife," said one user.
Another commented: "May your marriage be blessed always."
"The definition of 'he keeps falling in love with the same person even in different version'," added another netizen.
