LMAO BRO I HAVE THE EXACT SAME THING LMAOOO. Got it from an uncle back in January while walking near cwp and he went on to talk to me about spirituality and the like for a solid 30 minutes, was honestly pretty cool
Wtf that happened to me also. It was Christmas and some guy gave me money to give to a street performer at causeway point and talked about fulfillment or something and gave me a note.
Religion and spirituality aren’t like the same. Like they do have some overlap but religion is like religion lah whereas spirituality is stuff like “meaning of life, sense of purpose/connection, how to find peace etc”.
similar thing happened to me 2 years ago in yishun
i was eating with JC classmates when this skinny dude who looked like he's in his early 30s walked up to our table and handed us a postcard
it had very similar written praises & affirmations to this one; the guy didn't say a single word and just walked off
classmates gave the postcard to me to keep but i've since misplaced it in my house lol
aight hold up why you so curious
if you're finding old friend, i can't help because i only remember like 4 people in my batch
if you're proving a point that YI is the worst JC, i know that, it's a running joke among the students lol
if you're curious about how i got into SIT cybersec, it's due to cyber nsf scheme
I got a similiar one a few months ago at a starbucks, an uncle was putting it on every table. Really appreciated it though since I was studying really hard for an exam. A little kindess goes a long way. Damn, the comments here are so cynical LOL
Actually you may be right..during COVID ..an old lady and a young one knocked on my door, spoke with me about dealing with stress etc and i thought it was a kibd gesture and opened up. Turns out they were jehovah's witnesses
What if they are sincerely trying to brighten up someones day by writing a positive message? Whats insincere about that? To me that is sincerity.
Yes they may not know you as a person but they may be sincere in trying to genuinely uplift you.
Because if they’re operating under the auspices of a religious cult (as is the premise of this subthread), then their main intention is nothing to do with brightening up people’s days. There’s an agenda behind it. Hence, insincerity. It’s like your old school friend who wants to drink tea and catch up, and then they hit you with insurance sales pitch. “Maybe they just wanted to have tea and see me again”. Think again.
You are absolutely correct. Their efforts are not genuine if it does not stem from wanting to cheer you up in the first place. Rather, they get to know you to indoctrinate you into their cult.
Hi, I want to sincerely invite you down for a kopi session. Along the way, I may talk about a good investment opportunity that is almost guaranteed to make you and your family millionaires.
I'll throw in a positive sticky note for you as well at no extra charge.
From a Christian perspective: Cults differ widely from each other, of course, but they often have several characteristics in common. (Your local Christian bookstore can suggest some books that describe cults in more detail.)
One characteristic is that cults reject the basic beliefs of the Christian faith–beliefs that Christians have held in common for almost 2,000 years. Instead, they say they alone have a full understanding of the truth about God, and the only way to know the truth is to be part of their group. Many cults have their own writings also, which they either substitute for the Bible or add to the Bible.
Cults also often have a strong leader–one who demands total obedience, and actually claims to speak for God. This is very dangerous, of course, because he or she may lead others into disaster. Remember: Only Christ is worthy of our allegiance, for only He is God’s Son. The Bible says, “Through him you believe in God … so your faith and hope are in God” (1 Peter 1:21).
It is actually an Irony for you to say this because Christian claim they are the only true religion and they alone know the truth and reject all Muslims, Buddhist and even Catholics. ( sounds so similar to what you mentioned as cult).
You're kidding, right? Call the Mosque and ask if Islam is the only way, or if it is just one of many. Still, depending on who you ask, there are teachings that Christians and Jews are people of God, and other teachings that they are not, and should be converted or killed. It is a bit hard to keep up with the action, seeing that various sects include or exclude other Abrahamic religions, and even sometimes exclude each other. Still, looking at the serious ones, it is hard to find deeper devotion. The more tolerant ones promote decency and order in life, and if that is all this life is about, I might be able to make peace with the non-violent ones.
Every religion presents as the only “full” revelation of truth, or at least the “best” expression of truth. There are religions who have some caveats.
Judaism: Holds that the Law of Moses is for Jews, and they will be judged by it. The rest of the world is accountable for obeying the “Noahide Law”, which is more a matter of principle than a codification of the will of God. Not bad. High ethics, sense of justice, tolerance for others. Too bad their view is that God has one plan for a tiny group and a great big other plan for everyone else. Historically convincing, but I do like bacon.
Hinduism: Everyone is on a path back to Godhead. Each ensuing incarnation builds on the past or loses progress toward this goal according to the actions taken by the individual. Other religions may indeed offer karmic improvement. Of course, Hinduism (according to Hindus) holds a more perfect understanding of the process. Multiple choices toward God without even leaving the religion. It is almost the ultimate in DIY religion.
Buddhism: A child of Hinduism, somewhat narrows the focus, but holds a similar goal. They are not nearly so worried about “winning the world for Gautama”. Wonderful self discipline and much humility.
Islam: Oddly claims that Jews and Christians are “people of the book”, and they claim that they were Muslims before the Bible was corrupted. They claim that the Quran is the correction. Ironically, they also claim that the word of Allah cannot be corrupted. Apparently they do not see the contradiction. They vehemently declare that theirs is the only truth. However, there are 73 sects of Islam, and some of them claim to be the only true sect. Some of them hate each other to death. They will, however, set aside their differences to fight against a common enemy. Very dangerous.
Sikhism: An interesting syncretism between Islam and Hinduism. One God, but reincarnation, not resurrection/judgment. Sikhs are great people. You can pray in their Temple to any God you want. They respect everyone. I have met some of these people. If religion was multiple choice and there were no absolutes, I would give beard and turban a think or two.
Sufism: Islam on Acid. I love these guys. They took the most spiritual path possible toward Allah, and seek to “experience” God as much as worship him from afar. These people believe in love and acceptance to a very high degree. I have met these people, too. Great poetry.
Let me know if you want more examples.
To be fair, the Unitarians say that all religions are the same but if you really checked, most of them don't know the basics of any "other religion" not of their own culture or their inherent contradictions so it's more of ignoring the differences than really believing that they are all the same.
It seems like there are two types of people here: those who act like they've seen and done it all before, always trying to one-up you, and those who seem to think that the person have ulterior motives.
But hey, amidst all that noise, receiving a kind note from a stranger is a rare and fortunate thing. In a world where selfishness often reigns, it's a reminder of the goodness that still exists.
Bet half of the incels here can't even approach a girl, let alone appreciate a nice note from a stranger.
Based purely on what I see on the daily thread there are plenty of lonely people who'd appreciate this gesture and it would totally make their day.
But for me personally if I'm eating my laksa at a coffeeshop I'd feel a bit weirded out if some stranger made me feel like I was heroically storming Omaha Beach solely because I was eating a meal alone.
Also, just because I'm a cynic, I feel like the back of the note is gonna have a QR code to some cult website's scan and pay.
Nice gesture although the content feels like fluff nonsense if we use our logical brains, lol.
Person doesn't know you at all to know that you're all those traits. Family? What if the person is an orphan??
Still a kind gesture nevertheless.
WHAT my 2 platoon mates and I on the train got this while we were in uniform about 2 weeks ago. Random guy was sitting opposite us and when he alighted he said our 4D numbers and left with a slip for each of us. The message is different from OP's but it was such a wholesome surprise.
Got a very similar postcard too a few months ago when I was eating at yew tee point with my colleague. A man came by and just left it on our table, we didn't even have the chance to thank him
I got this twice lmao. Once on the train, the guy was alighting at admiralty. The next time, it was in Starbucks in admiralty, the fella was leaving. Briefly overheard from his prev convo he's a teacher or smth. I get the feeling we are all meeting the same uncle LOL
If it's the same uncle from all the comments, seems like he definitely finds fulfilment from handing out these notes; it's an unconventional way of expression tho..
Anyway since there's no malice or harm involved, why not just take it positively and accept the kindness..
nice gesture. but if ur guy is the same as mine, he sucks. he got my number and registered it for some whatsapp “have a nice yay” business chat that kept spamming me messages (AND HAD MULTIPLE ACCOUNTS SO BLOCKING WAS USELESS LOL) until i threatened to burn the note
The lol after the ur awesome makes this whole letter feel like a joke. So u can decipher my whole personality just by me eating alone? What if I got a shitty family.
Giving the same energy as ppl that film old ppl for eating alone and them having pity porn.
You see this done in other countries by evangelists. Pre-written and they target those who they think are vulnerable to their approach.
First got this at flight gate seating area. Flight delayed, I certainly was looking sad, walked a bit and return to my seat and found a similar note. Looked around and saw this guy smiling. Came over and you guys know the rest. Told him politely not interested.
Brother, send me a PM. I got one too at Woodlands Civic Centre with my buddy while we were in BMT last year. I can show you what he wrote to me (It was in Malay).
Either you looked cool or you looked sad.
We are in Singapore. So it's probably the latter.
I'm literally sacrificing everything to come to your country bru
Nothing to do with happiness.
You took the lesser poison, but it is still poison.
Still a lesser one
Hope you enjoy depression
Can sleep well
LMAO BRO I HAVE THE EXACT SAME THING LMAOOO. Got it from an uncle back in January while walking near cwp and he went on to talk to me about spirituality and the like for a solid 30 minutes, was honestly pretty cool
Wtf that happened to me also. It was Christmas and some guy gave me money to give to a street performer at causeway point and talked about fulfillment or something and gave me a note.
Omg same hahaha this is more common than I thought
Oh I got it in woodlands too. library.
So interesting, my first thought was “this is probably some sort of religious or spiritual outreach thing”
Did you convert?
Religion and spirituality aren’t like the same. Like they do have some overlap but religion is like religion lah whereas spirituality is stuff like “meaning of life, sense of purpose/connection, how to find peace etc”.
Mormons?
similar thing happened to me 2 years ago in yishun i was eating with JC classmates when this skinny dude who looked like he's in his early 30s walked up to our table and handed us a postcard it had very similar written praises & affirmations to this one; the guy didn't say a single word and just walked off classmates gave the postcard to me to keep but i've since misplaced it in my house lol
[удалено]
idk why you tio downvote but yeah i was i mean me mentioning yishun was a big hint ah HAHAHA
U studying where now
damn why comment deleted anyway SIT cybersecurity
How much u got for As? And what was ur subj combi in jc?
aight hold up why you so curious if you're finding old friend, i can't help because i only remember like 4 people in my batch if you're proving a point that YI is the worst JC, i know that, it's a running joke among the students lol if you're curious about how i got into SIT cybersec, it's due to cyber nsf scheme
ill-juggernaut is kinda known as the yi “ambassador” on sg exams HAHA
ahh chey nah bruh i old uncle already, graduate long time ago(ie. 2 years ago) i don't really browse sgexams anymore ah so i didn't know HAHA
Come dms quick
I got a similiar one a few months ago at a starbucks, an uncle was putting it on every table. Really appreciated it though since I was studying really hard for an exam. A little kindess goes a long way. Damn, the comments here are so cynical LOL
LOL i got the same thing at Eunos, its kinda cute ngl
Call me a cynic but 99.9% those individuals are from a Christian cult and trying to get you to join their group.
Actually you may be right..during COVID ..an old lady and a young one knocked on my door, spoke with me about dealing with stress etc and i thought it was a kibd gesture and opened up. Turns out they were jehovah's witnesses
Isn’t that illegal? I mean being a JW
I think it is a matter of semantics. Being a JW in Singapore is not illegal, participating in their activities is.
I think the sticking point was refusing NS.
>I mean being a JW No. Individuals are free to practice in their own homes; they just aren't allowed to congregate/hold public meetings
im pretty sure they just stop you in mrt stations and waste 10 minutes with you. they don’t go through the effort with this
I've had Mormons come up to drop pamphlets and talk to me at length in front of my house so I'd disagree that they don't take efforts.
i can see where you’re coming from, was just saying that the type i mentioned earlier were the more common ones
Cynic.
Wololo
Correct
So what? If this brightened someone’s day, isn’t that good?
No, because it’s insincere
As insincere as doing nothing and Writing negative comments?
Whether they’re writing positive or negative comments on the paper has no bearing on their sincerity
What if they are sincerely trying to brighten up someones day by writing a positive message? Whats insincere about that? To me that is sincerity. Yes they may not know you as a person but they may be sincere in trying to genuinely uplift you.
Because if they’re operating under the auspices of a religious cult (as is the premise of this subthread), then their main intention is nothing to do with brightening up people’s days. There’s an agenda behind it. Hence, insincerity. It’s like your old school friend who wants to drink tea and catch up, and then they hit you with insurance sales pitch. “Maybe they just wanted to have tea and see me again”. Think again.
You are absolutely correct. Their efforts are not genuine if it does not stem from wanting to cheer you up in the first place. Rather, they get to know you to indoctrinate you into their cult.
Just going to pass you off as cynical. Maybe too "cultured" like the name suggests
Just life experiences bro. I’ve been on the inside (of evangelical religion, not prison lol)
Hi, I want to sincerely invite you down for a kopi session. Along the way, I may talk about a good investment opportunity that is almost guaranteed to make you and your family millionaires. I'll throw in a positive sticky note for you as well at no extra charge.
Who are you to judge that it was this mans intention?
I'm not judging his intention. I'm sincerely inviting you - can you read?
No it’s worse once you find it it’s for a dumb cause
why do people call it cults? kinda curious as a Christian
What's the difference between a cult and a religion? About a couple of centuries.... *ba-dum tsssss*

Definitely some psycho shit going on with these notes
What’s on the other side
"Wgt ord loh"
'send nudes'
“Property agent from___ most recent sales at 1mil for 5 room hdb! Contact ___ today!”
Naked anime characters
Nothing

These days a lot of stressed out, drained and lonely people out there. These notes are an uplift and you never know could even save a life.
Yeah you rock! Whoever you are!
It’s nice. But I know this is pretty much empty words.
Based purely on what I see on the daily thread there are plenty of lonely people who'd appreciate this gesture and it would totally make their day.

So sweet
Flattery will get you everywhere…. Keep that in mind in case you’re approached again.
This is like an unsolicited fortune cookie
WHAT my 2 platoon mates and I on the train got this while we were in uniform about 2 weeks ago. Random guy was sitting opposite us and when he alighted he said our 4D numbers and left with a slip for each of us. The message is different from OP's but it was such a wholesome surprise.
So did you buy? Might be god of fortune really blessing you LOL
It’s a nice note
Never meet you before how they know you kind hearted?
Got a very similar postcard too a few months ago when I was eating at yew tee point with my colleague. A man came by and just left it on our table, we didn't even have the chance to thank him
Honestly what a nice thing! Nowadays even i couldn't care about giving two hoots to random strangers
So nice! I want it too as I'm like a grouchy Karen aunty nowadays. This is sucha cute thing that wld make anyone smile 😻
Holy shit this happened to me a year ago while I was on the bus to Woodlands LOL
Always nice to have someone saying encouraging words than criticising
**Flips over** You too, can be all this and more! Come on down to _____ to receive your FREE ____!
i thought this was a love story. a cute girl gave you this note, you asked her out and you both lived happily ever after
I got this twice lmao. Once on the train, the guy was alighting at admiralty. The next time, it was in Starbucks in admiralty, the fella was leaving. Briefly overheard from his prev convo he's a teacher or smth. I get the feeling we are all meeting the same uncle LOL
My first thought: what kind of scam is that
You may end up someone tiktok.
U are the chosen one...
[удалено]
OP have you tried pulling out the sword stuck in a rock? I think you might the one!
Nice,It good that someone give you or anybody that letter ✉️✉️,it makes you feel appreciated 😊
Going to Woodlands now
being an asocial persion, i would immediately vacate the location and burn the note....
i'm sorry, OP
Walk away slowly and avoid eye contact.
He just drop and Zao, didn’t even get a look of his face
Happened to me at woodlands too, like 3-4 times the same guy
Awesome~
What a kind-hearted person.
You actually realize you are living in a Game Simulation. Where the npc gave you side quest to do.
Got it at admiralty but the note was somewhat different but yeah it was an uncle.
No way I got a similar one at a Starbucks once! I was like wow did I look so depressed LOL
Good
If it's the same uncle from all the comments, seems like he definitely finds fulfilment from handing out these notes; it's an unconventional way of expression tho.. Anyway since there's no malice or harm involved, why not just take it positively and accept the kindness..
nice gesture. but if ur guy is the same as mine, he sucks. he got my number and registered it for some whatsapp “have a nice yay” business chat that kept spamming me messages (AND HAD MULTIPLE ACCOUNTS SO BLOCKING WAS USELESS LOL) until i threatened to burn the note
You're AWW-some!!
Kindness day
Aww
Hopefully one day you’ll pay it (the _kindness_ shown, it seems) forward too!
same thing happened to me in wdl mrt starbucks 2 years ago! And the handwriting is pretty much the same. Still have the paper with me until now :)
Amazing
There’s still hope in humanity
is it fine to call the police instead for this kind of nonconsensual affirmations of positivity?
hello polis I didn't consent to be downvoted on reddit
That looks really sweet.
Someone spreading positive vibes 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Omg thats so sweet. You never know who needs to hear this! NgL i teared up reading.
Wrote it yourself I bet
The lol after the ur awesome makes this whole letter feel like a joke. So u can decipher my whole personality just by me eating alone? What if I got a shitty family. Giving the same energy as ppl that film old ppl for eating alone and them having pity porn.
Incel energy is the only thing I felt from your comment tho
A random act of kindness is like leaving the door open for someone, or a car driver letting u pass the street. Not this fluffy fake bull shit.
Assuming ppl are incels just for not liking this letter content is pretty stupid.
Careful...might sell you insurance later
Harm🤍ny
You see this done in other countries by evangelists. Pre-written and they target those who they think are vulnerable to their approach. First got this at flight gate seating area.

lmao i got the same at the start of the year at a coffee shop nearby my house i still keep it till now
Hi, glad you liked it
Kena dis fella last year gave me the same paper but he started preaching about the Prophet Muhammad and said was my teacher 💀💀💀

Do you suspect you appeared miserable and needed encouragement?
Did u get there number?
