YOU ARE SO NAIVE !
TSK yellow again !
I've just reserved myself a committment today.
very strangely, relieved is what I'm feeling.
or am I excited ? or am I too shallow to think deeper? or am I still too gullible and naive?
naive. yesterday, an auntEh hollered at me for being what she perceived as, naive.
wah this is the longest debate I've engaged with a STRANGER. what actually happened was...
jiayi and I shared a table with 2 aunties at the food centre at People's Park.(alot of yummy things to eat but that place is always very crowded!)As the wanton mee that jiayi bought was looking pretty good, the aunties started discussing between the two of them on the degree of deliciousness. and then I don't know how...they managed to link the subject to chinese labour in Singapore (obviously they're typical aunties that can critisise every single thing most nonsensically !) they tried to interact with us but I couldnt be bothered to multitask while I'm eating. Furthermore, I didn't like the way they talk....wah lao they were seizing every single opportunity to boast. like, " oh...my son's engrish is veli goood ~but he HATES (emphasised) Chinese cos he was a guinea pig to take the advance chinese ar, then later din score well....the gahmen lar !keep changing textbooks....I see my chewren liddat I also stress ..." then another one chipped in," yar lar...maybee you all not parents yet, won't understand one..." the worst thing is that, they think their england is very good..ZZzzz and that I'm just another jia kantang ger. PLS LOR ! I'M UNLIKE YOUR POOTOTO SON!! I speak dialect with my granny. I converse in mandarin with my family, I've been taking higher chinese since pri 1. (not that my chinese is very good tho, at least I love chinese)
then they started badmouthing the government !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this is the point of time when i was roped into the conversation. (jiayi so polite, pretended to be attentive to them. )Cant believe it, they're actually ppl who can rattle non-stop to the other party that only stare at them in utmost disinterest.I don't know where did they learn from...the balance in CPF acc will all go to the government when one dies. You very funny. if you didnt make any will or nomination, of cos the money must go to the government what. if not what, automatically transfer to your bank acc in neverland meh? and still blame the government for importing so many foreign workers and cause such unemployment amongst the locals and thus, they're especially not taking care of the elderly population.
Firstly, if the old people still have to work in the golden years,then that speaks very much of the capbility of their chewren.
Secondly, as an employer, if foreign workers can offer cheaper labour, why would I not want to hire them? If the increase of foreign workers can push the incompetent locals to attain greater heights, why not? If the foreign workers proved to be more willing to slog their hearts out , then wouldnt that be directly benefiting the economy? That very much supports the meritocracy policy what. The government aims to take care of the welfare of the people, but the latter should not take the privilleges for granted. All you know is to lament about the increment of GST, high standard of living....just face it lar, cos you're not on par with the foreigners. Only losers like you will excuse yourself from the competition," oh! I can't stand the hectic life here! I want to migrate to NZ to rear cows" *rolls eyes*
My temperature literally rose when they made some frivolous remarks. So I retorted at them but aiya....they contradicted themselves again and again. I've only learnt one thing valuable over the lunch: argue shamelessly yet politely in order not to be at the losing (embarrassing) end in arguements with aunties.
