sgdiehard SG I pity the second type, they kpkb about their captain, the chief engineer, the thai sailor.... but have to stay on the ship because no other ships want to take them. Really pathetic.
Daddy!! SG i pity the Walesa's type: already sitting on a half-sunk dinghy and he thinks he is sitting on an aircraft carrier.
sgdiehard SG impending doom? half submerged? even fymk knows what is "the best of both worlds" , "The other door is not good if you are a middle class worker but damn good if you strike it rich on foreign soil and decide to retire in Singapore or invest back into Singapore. " it only proves that you don't have what it takes, or not the rich ones, neither in singapore nor the foreign soil, nor are you one of the "others with a better intellect." to each his own, bon voyage..
Daddy!! SG i salute people who make themselves even in Singapore like sgdiehard and look down on people with the mentality of “depend on the state’s welfare support” in order to lead their lives confidently (the screwed up type).
googoomuck SG Asians always worry about 'face'. It's a shame to collect welfare unless they are really handicaps. Does Australia issue PR to people who go there to pick apples? It sure beats flipping burgers in Macdonald's in Singapore.

[/b]Didn't know there was a revolving door between ships for bourgeoise or for those who've succeeded under their own rudder. I'd take my chances on the less racially discriminatory ship. Atleast I won't be compelled to learn a language, that isn't even the first language of the country, for a job.
LazerLordz SG You have a lot of pity to dispense, probably you should get some certification and do some real social work on the ground. Never seen and worked the ground, keep off the rostrum. Gracias.
sgdiehard SG fewer variables, lower risk; fewer things to learn, lesser capability needed. I am asking my children to learn at least 3 languages, like those in europe. you want a ship with sailors from thailand, indonesia, indian, china, you will be in command if you know their language. choose your boat, the one where you are comfortable.
eagle SG MOELC last time don't want accept me to learn 3rd lang but nvm, I went to learn more myself in my uni, now learning 4th language. Damn MOE only bothers about hard grades and not interest
fymk SG There is a third option - work hard for your own ship and then from one ship -profit and buy another until you have many ships -be a shipping magnate essentially. That way if one ship sink , you have another to replace it quickly. And always have a safety luxury yacht in tow as a secondary life boat. That way the escape from the sinking ship is faster and more comfortable.
walesa SG You'd do well to first enrol yourself in a decent English course. Maybe, that's one impetus of free education...

[/b]Best of both worlds? I'd be amazed if you even understood "best", much less anything else in that phrase. With a deranged mind like yours, coupled with a frequent propensity for self-contradiction, it'd indeed be a miracle if you could make any sort of sensible living anywhere. Maybe, you could join Daddy!! in an English course for a start - I'm sure that will help you see a clearer picture of "losers" emigrating to evade "the lee dynasty" being every bit as qualified as other migrants who do so for "all kind of reasons". That might just save you from an eventual date with a shrink.
sgdiehard SG It is fortunate that what is best for me is not best for you. It is obvious that you need a miracle to make any sort of sensible living. To me, it is wisom and education, adaptability and flexibility, plus hardwork and a little luck, I can make a decent anywhere and I can choose where I want to go. while you continue talking and waiting for miracle, you will have to continue running and jumping ships. Make sure you have your life jacket on.
sgdiehard SG never depend on MOE for the education of your children. I know the interest of my children and i consider my job to provide the opportunities for them to learn and grow. learning the 4th language, I salute you. If you are speaking english and mandarin without mixing the two, then you can add in another language to your claim, Singlish.
walesa SG Naivety, stupidity and sheer ineptitude are what you exude and possess in abundance. Suffice to say, it comes as little surprise the deranged and delusional often choose to engage in meaningless self-assuring rhetoric as a form of self-denial. After all, as Kim Jong-Il valiantly exhorts, how can you possibly know what you're missing out on when you haven't the faintest clue what goes on elsewhere? It is indeed a blessing that your deranged intellect is not what I'm endowed with... For morons with an IQ marginally higher than their shoe sizes, ignorance sure is a bliss.
eagle SG Singlish is more like a slang than a language. I learned German because German is the most spoken language in the EU. Now japanese because it is the 2nd largest economy in the world. Anyway now I learn is because can learn free during uni Only opportunity cost is increased stress and most likely pulling down of CAP. But never mind...
