How do you deal with arrogant/how lian people around you?

Lynn2:

Hahaha, I think like you too.


I always tell people, what is there to be big deal in rubbing shoulder with so and so, they also have got two eyes two hands...just like a normal beings, what so big deal....For rub zoe tay this case, guess this person who speak this way has not much things to boast...and this is the biggest that he or she has....aiyo...

I steer very clear away from people who are showy and usually those that are neither up nor down kind of people are those that talked very very big...that is just one of my observation.

Honestly,

Am tired of listening to this (from pple I know). Know a few pple whose kids are in St James. And the kids are there cuz not only Zoe Tay, but a few other celebrities' kids are there. One parent even boasted that the so and so's (celebrities') kids had attended their kid's bday celebration :roll:

I have not contributed because too many examples lah. Most common one is what kind of property you staying in. Then, its the type of pre-sch toddler going to, then not only where have you been for hols BUT also which hotel did you stay in :!:

We were thinking of moving - into landed property. Now we are all the more determined not to. MRT just came up which is 2 mins away, new huge shopping mall gonna be ready by end of the yr etc ... 15 mins to ILs hse.

If we do, we will retain the flat or sell w/i the family. As DH once said - he's the only senior mgt level personnel living in HDB in his dept.

BTW, this HDB flat has allowed us to remain debt-free in many aspects. Unlike my peers, who are struggling to maintain payments cuz they rushed into purchasing to keep up with the joneses (hope spelling is correct)

How to deal with them?? Just go \"really ah\" in my most sweetest tone. Then \"OIC\", then \"eh, you know, can you find good seafood mee goreng like 5 mins from your landed property (or condo)? Or to shock them even more, I tell them \"eh, the busstop is like 2 mins away ya know - can go TP, AMK, Bishan like in 15 mins\" (even though I drive) ha ha ha.

To each his own lah ...

Celebrities are humans too. It’s really no big deal to have a kid in the same school/class as them. Several celebrities have kids in St James.

I got fed-up with this person and the way she talks…so I tell her straight. ‘You have repeated several times.’ :x
Recently she asked me if my son’s tutor is the inspiring type bcos she wants to find another tutor for him. I told her my son’s tutor is the motherly sort, and inspiring son to study is the mother’s job, NOT the tutor.

Hi,

I guess we have heard so much about this show-offs that we will try to stay miles away from them. Very sickening to hear their rubbish.

Someone told me, 'Have I told you I rub shoulders with Zoe Tay at St James Kindergarten?' I replied, 'Yes you have told me that many times, no need to repeat.'

Tell her to send over to the HK one and 'rub' wherever she wants with Eason, Cecilia Chung .......

Like that also got??? What's her point??

I always believe though, that this person probably has very few friends by now cos who wants to stick around to pretend to be impressed by this sort of nonsense?

:siao:

[janet88]

She loves to repeat that story about her son and Zoe’s son are classmates. So what ?! Zoe’s kids need to go pre-school, primary, secondary etc etc too.


This person is very unpopular. Extremely shallow and LOUD !!!
