my husband said whenever he goes to taiwan or china on business trips, they will always mention that Singaporeans are 'very easy to con-bec they are very naive and not street wise. See how their women con our men here and yet they never learn their lessons..tsk tsk' :evil:

as they used to say, singaporeans are 'wu zhi' = naive. hong kongers are 'wu chi' = shameless, and taiwanese are 'wu qing' = heartless

alamak, this computer terminal cannot type chinese ....

personally, being naive is much better than being shameless and heartless

According to our grandpa, which Lee Ao drew the discussion of his topic from, our ancestors came from the south, and were poor peasants, while those who did not migrate during the war, including those in Shanghai and Beijing for example, were intellects and educated. So despite the fact that we are all Chinese, these people are trying to differentiate a race by the substance of their genes.

Still doesn't make sense. \"Be not afraid of greatness. Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon 'em.\" W Shakespeare. Knowledge can be acquired and it doesn't make a person great. Our forefathers may be uneducated, we are. Their forefathers may be educated and they are too. However, from the things that he said and the way he carried himself, it proves that his genes are substandard. An educated person may not carry himself well compared to an uneducated one. :razz:

Knowledge is not equivalent to wisdom. Educated people have knowledge but not necessarily wisdom, uneducated people like my ah mah may not has knowledge but she has wisdom [/quote]

When I had my first boy, I nicknamed him \"Wu Fa\"
The second one is \"Wu Tian\"
Both combined means \"lawless\"
When I had DS3, this is \"Wu Nai\" : means \"helpless\"
My nurse asked me to try for a girl but I don't dare cos if it's another boy it'll be \"Wu bian\" that is \"no change\"

some of the 耍嘴皮 one reads online can be quite humorous and with some truths in them..

eg. 台湾的社会病态, 日本的社会变态.

北京人忙着爱国, 上海人忙着出国, 广州人忙着卖国.

so, between Taiwan and S'pore, 105 vs 108, hardly any difference due to margin of error, it could have been Taiwan 108 and S'pore 105.....just one unwarranted mistake in the survey question .... :evil: :evil:

China women are experts in conning/handling men, especially Singapore men. If he has a gf, can make him break up. For married men also can make them divorce. Single, no need to say, sure can get. Their tactics make men melt in their arms. We have never been taught to be street smart, just exam smart.
