yes! i enjoy the sparring.. now it's all quiet on the sparring front..

elindra SG

Look at point number 3.

It reads "Can't be trusted"

So its still 10 points

And as pointed out by many people, trust works both ways.

Gazelle SG

Hey Dr. Loser, and mr expensive watch,

You are just a product of consumerism. Spend your moeny wisely, if you dont even have a wife, what is the meaning of those watches.

I am going to catch a 14 hours flight back to singapore now. see you. (Please Dr. G, dont embarrass yourself, do you think that I am lying about my Europe holiday?) Freaking loser.

elindra SG

Actually I think if they can afford it, they can spend it on anything they want. They might prefer to buy an expensive watch instead of blowing the money on a holiday.

I thought taking holidays is also part of pushing consumerism Rolling Eyes

Its just a different product

Gedanken SG

BWAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA! Laughing

That's the best one yet! You're skulking off with your tail between your legs, and now you've made up a cockamamie story about a 14-hour flight to cover it up, as if that's supposed to impress us! Mr. Green

Hot damn, Gazelle, you're gawd damned funny! Keep it up!

foxwalk SG

so what if u have a holiday.. u r not the only one who can afford it.

isn't ironic that u seem to be anti consumerism and capitalism when u have a masters in international business (or what donald duck thing) from you mickey mouse uni? don't you know a thing abt niche markets? or do u think niche is a french word?

elindra SG

Actually, I think he is kinda shooting himself in the foot.

Countries promote themselves as THE IDEAL holiday spot because they want to promote consumerism Laughing

Going on holiday is also consumerism. You can save the money and pay off whatever bills or invest to make the money grow instead of wasting it on expensive holidays, with expensive food and items.

Thank u 4 the advise... anyway I am happily married. Though not a SGPrean gal (no offence to the ladies here), nationality is not an issue.

Watches also part of investment strategy (maybe part consumerism also lah)mah, parked into something that is non-cash/stock related, can enjoy a bit and then sold off at a higher price some time in the future Very Happy . My wife is all for it as half of the collection consist of ladies watches.

Have a nice fly back... looking forward to your debate with regard to the issue u raise.

(1) Yeah we should aye? =)
(2) wtf? sorry - i didnt understand a single word you just said, but yeah, i didnt word my points properly, i'll try later on.
(3) Damn fuckin right - this is going nowhere.
(4) Rolex? Ew. Try pateks at least. IWC have a really nice watch called the minute repeater...im not sure if theres a chicks version but i want the guys version and its about 47thousand sterling. Rolexs just have this 'cheap and nasty' rep. Omegas are cheap and good value for money...

thinger SG

what was ****? Laughing

er, and whats SPG?
no, im serious, whats spg?

Bah bah bah - this is definately open to debate(in my, and some others opinion) but i honestly really cannot be fucked for shit to argue my arse off.

thinger SG

You didnt get my point (at least i dont think you did because if you did i dont think youd disagree) but thats my bad again because i just reread my paragraph and its bullshitworded.

Anyway, i was just trying to argue that the way he worded it left holes for other interpretations which would not have caused so much or a ruckus with yous people.

Let me try again? Although i most prolly wont get it thru this time either:
"10 things to consider when marrying a typical sg girl"
Ok, read it. Understand it?

Now read this:

Erhmm thinger, what I understand from the word 'typical' is that it applies to the majority and not the minority.
I agree that there are girls which meet his 10 pts but they are not common enough to be labelled as 'typical'.

I'm not trying to say that the 10sins gazelle mentions are typical attributes of Singaporean girls. In your sentence, I agree that there are girls which meet his 10 pts but they are not common enough to be labelled as 'typical', you are coming from the perspective that what the statement means is that his 10 points apply to the typical girl.

What im saying is that you could interpret gazelles statement differently:
Asuming that that the 10points apply to singaporean girls only, it is fair to then infer that the one (male) marrying ONLY has to be wary, if he is marrying a singaporean girl. Right? Okay.

But take it one step further, and assume that the 10sins are most frequently noticed in THE AVERAGE (read: typical) singapore girl. Not the upper class educated female population, or the alternative crowd or other social groups. Just the average, or typical.

If you thought about his statement that way, it would be a fair statement wouldnt it?

pfft im late for dinner. cherrios people. later.

thinger SG

holy duck nuts, i just realized we’re talking about watches – how the hell did we end up there? i jkust skim read and prolly missed a lot

oldbreadstinks SG

my friend dates a white american, but i don't think she's a spg, i just feel that he's probably more interesting then an sg guy and frankly speaking i really think he is,
as for marrying him , i suggested that to my friend but she said she would not do so unless he stays in sg for her
i don't think all sg girls marry out of race for a bigger prick, unless you're targetting this statment at chinese girls
all females i consider friends speak proper english, and i've never considered them thinking that way
i don't mind my wife or gf working, but that depends on the job, as for family, i would prefer she have children first before embarking on a career , reason being its better to have kids when young, if she don't want to take care, i can give up my job for that but she must not tell me how to take care of my own kid
if she wants to be a housewife, so be it , i'll just have to work harder
i'm always bullied by girls so i don't think this is a problem
if a girl breaks up with me , i can understand and blame myself , unless she starts coming out with all sorts of stories about how we broke up

thinger SG

word - i just realized that thats what i think too.

Hello to all, especially to Gedanken,

I`m come to sense that we are all intellectual people
and through all these pages of `discussion`,I`ve come to realised that instead of sticking to the topic. You all were very much digressing onto personal assults.
especially Gedanken with his/her first post.

I`m sorry I might not be a graduate, let alone post graduate,
but it surely doesn`t reflect how humble a person you can be to fellow forumites for such a general view.

The keyword I`ll like to REemphasize is `typical`.
I`ll say some of the points are double edged swords, but how can we ever deny some of these open secrets of the `typical` Young Singaporean Girl??

Honestly, I`m not very old, but enough to know many girls from age 18-25.
And many claimed not knowing how too cook, and fewer ventured into doing housework.

They lived a life of silverspoon and never experienced general hardship
Well that`s all i`m goin to speak of from the thread..

Now let me digress a bit,
the few post by dear Gedanken,even though might carry some truths, and powered up w a strong command of the language, but it definately doesn`t show how much humble you can get either.
Save those personal assults and discuss these topics maturely.
It really doesn`t makes much of a difference how much you`ve studied or how good you are at the language if what`s flawed is in the mind.

If you are soley objected to drive your game at the thread starter, then it can only show how much you can see in life..

Not really trying to flame anyone, but who do you all think are the real sexists in the 21st centurary of the modern world?? Especially in SINGAPORE???

Lingos SG

Erm.. you've got me there. Who are they???

elindra SG

It would be a fair statement if the replies he gave later in reply didn't eliminate the possibility that it was a fair statement bit.

thinger SG

I live alone when its not holiday periods, and i can do all the normal crap like cooking, cleaning, grocery shopping etc. From what ive seen of my close girl-friends, they really are a bit lacking in those departments.

I think its really true that a fair few of them are really pampered. Seeing that in Singapore, there are heaps of families with helpers/maids, it seems that the youth in general are spoonfed too much and cant fend for themselves.

eh? who? what? Laughing

Gazelle SG

What I was trying to say is that my swatch is watch that can function like your rolex watch. I didnt say that my swatch is a automatic watch. Just because I say it is swiss made it doesnt mean that I say all swiss watch is the same Laughing beh tahan.... see peh how lian.. (Your uncle here is a shareholder of Sincere Watch ok.....bloody young punk!!)

Somehow I just feel that you are using this forum to show off what you have and what you know, which unfortunately is very limited.

From what I gathered so far, you say you are single, you are not a sg girl and you are not engaged. So can I know what exactly do you have to contribute to this thread? It seems that after talking for so long you have not spoken a word about your experience or view about sg girl, and you are more interested in a Deer than a girls. Laughing

Btw, is Patek that same Batik that our MPs are wearing? Is Jaeger the same as Jaguar the car maker?

BaByBoY SG

IMHO,
to a certain extend i fel that both sexes do contain extremes cases.
And guys and gals are inplanted w certain prejudices of one another.

However i felt that the gals of Singapore were highly protected, in fact they seem to be overly protected by the law. Given ANY situation of a guy and a gal alone secluded, once the gal crys molest, i believe a huge percentage of ppl will trust that the guy`s at fault. as such it`s a lethal threat for the guy to do the gal`s bidding????

of cuz i don`t deny the existance of sexist guys. Especially when i`m one of them. I believe guys and gals are there for different purposes. Gals are meant to be loved and taken care of. But seeminly the gals i know frequntly wanted a fair share of the sky, but keeps rather quiet when we ask them if they wanted to go for NS??? of cuz it`s only a casual question post to them.. as a sexist myself, i wouldn`t want sg gals to suffer in the army and waste their time too.. To me,gals surely deserve a good job and happy family and etc etc.. but just that some are asking for too much.. i emphasize on the word `some`..

and yes, i`m a sexist too.. i want to see them in gd hands and enjoy life too huh??
