7 Ways People Use WeChat Group Chats Wrongly

Many people don't know the difference between WeChat Group Chats and WhatsApp Group Chats and the following are the 7 ways people use WeChat Group Chats wrongly:

Never participate. Some people join Group Chats is to add the people inside as their WeChat friends. They never participate in anything inside the group chats, not even introducing themselves when they first joined the group chats or saying good morning
Say Good Morning every day. It is irritating to see so many good morning messages inside group chats every day because it takes up space and people join group chats is not to read such messages every day. If you do, you are telling people that you have nothing better to contribute other than saying good morning.
Sell immediately, either in the group chat or individually to the people inside the group. This makes you liable to be reported or deleted as a WeChat friend
Send long messages and long videos that have nothing to do with the purpose or theme of the group chat
Send Voice Messages, usually about good morning or some greeting. See my article on why you shouldn't use voice message. Use Voice Input instead
Never Save the Group Chat, as a result, cannot retrieve it and cannot participate. To save group chats, press the 3 dots on rop right of phone and select 'Save to Contacts'
Forward news that are of low value, especially fake news

The Secret Under the Mattress: Why would a 79-year Man Bet So Big on 4D?

It was 2007 when we discovered his secret. While moving my father’s mattress, we found them: heaps and heaps of Singapore Pools 4D tickets. They were stacked in layers, a paper trail of lost hopes. What shocked us most wasn’t just the volume, but the stakes. He wasn’t betting a few dollars for fun. He was punting hundreds of dollars per draw—nearly ten times a month. At the time, my siblings and I were furious. Our father was a 79-year-old retiree. We wondered, with a mix of anger and confusion, why a man at his stage of life would need to win such "big money." What was he going to do with the money? We saw it as a reckless habit, a sign of poor judgment in his final years. Some of us would say, "If I were to give him money to buy 4D, why don't I use the money and buy 4D myself? At least I have better discipline". It has taken me two decades, and the experience of raising my own three grown-up children, to finally see the truth that was hidden under that matt...

Head Bleeding when the Chair Falls

The Weight of Silence: What Were We Really Arguing About? My earliest memories are punctuated by the sound of shouting. In 1970, when I was barely 6 years old, I stood as a small witness to the fierce quarrels between my father and my late eldest brother Kah Yang (he passed away in 1971 at the age of 17). As I grew up, these contradictions became the soundtrack of our lives, usually centered around our family's shoe shop and clothing stalls in Chinatown. In the court of family opinion, the verdict was almost always the same: my father was "wrong." He was judged as a man who didn't fulfill his role, who wasn't "burdening" enough for the family’s success. But as I look back from the vantage point of 2026, I have to ask: Was that actually true? Let me finally put to rest what my father did right: the truths that were buried under decades of criticism: Unseen Labor: He worked grueling, long hours. I remember him hauling boxes of goods and equipment to set u...
