Conversation with FT waitress

winsomeea SG

Singapore has been made a land for jobs supply to foreigners while locals just watch them work and get stagnant salary, unemployment and bully.

Hello Kitty SG

Recently there is a youtube video of a british woman using alot of vulgarities in a subway train.

Her point is about the number of foreign immigrants in Britain.

One of her sentences that I remember vividly, " None of you belongs to Britain. Britain is fuck all."

I think Singapore is very close to reaching that stage. And it's very depressing.

Singapore is about to FUCK ALL.

Towards the ending, there is a English lady asking her to STFU because there are kids in the train. And of coz there are also those immigrant that ask her to STFU.

But deep down in my heart, even though there were kids around, I understand why she said that. I can feel and relate to her anger.

BanguIzai SG

Ya, because you are still living in the cave. I challenge you to use your own dialect to speak to other race see what you get.

Don't be surprised.

Many Singaporean and Malaysian Indians now can be heard speaking Chinese dialects such as Hokkien, Teochew, and Cantonese.

Today I heard one again speaking Hokkien when buying food.

It is the Singaporean Chinese who have to catch up much more. Even Pasar Malay also cannot speak. Even other group's Chinese dialects also cannot speak. Even ownself Chinese dialect also cannot speak.

That video is...quite an eye-opener. It really reminds you that Singapore is somewhat a shadow of UK.

dragg SG

arent you too affected by the influx of foreigners?

if and when you see a PRC converse with them in chinese or a common dialect.

thats what i do. i dont speak to them in english coz i think its ridiculous for 2 non-english people of the same race to speak in english. we are not angmos. why use other people's language when you have your own.

doraemon1234 SG

wow. most of the comments i see are very negative towards immigrants. I really don't understand, being served by a foreign waitress has affected you how? Don't forget that foreign labour are cheaper and some industries are shunned by locals, hence they reduce the costs of production and the costs of goods and services. Also, you should know how difficult it is to learn a whole new language in a matter of months, and it really isn't their fault that the have a certain accent when they speak-- it is something very hard to change for them. If you are complaining about being served jap food by a pinoy waitress, well this is globalisation. in an alternate universe without it, you may also be complaining about lack of cultural diversity.

Lastly, I feel that towards immigration we need to be more open and tolerant, not be discriminatory. they are fellow human beings and many of us at one point in our lives become immigrants in another country, be it for a period of study or work.

mancha SG

Was at the entrance....

FT Waitress (with smile): We have lunch set meal with "chicken sashimi" here....

Me: Sorry? Chicken sashimi?

FT Waitress (with a cold look): Three....ken....sashimi....three.....errr....

Me: 三片生鱼片？

FT Waitress: 不是！三种！

Me: (Ok wtf) 好的。(And I went in)

No prizes for guessing which country. Wah now come back for holiday, really feel that this place is getting more and more foreign.

I am not siding with the PRC girl, but I think this is more of an misperception case.

The PRC did not say the wrong thing, rather TS perceived wrongly what she said.

Like:

Boy say: Wan tan mee.

Banana say: One ton of noodels?

Rock^Star SG

Ok, let's wait till they take your job because they are cheaper and then I will gloat and bawl that your industry is "shunned by locals".

Well, she said "three ken (kinds of) chicken". What other way could that have been interpreted? lol

On a micro scale, that's negligible. On a macro scale, it's a sign of what gives rise to our societal tension these days.

Anyway, u've got a better eg? lol. At least the wan tan mee would normally have been pronounced with the correct diction, even for the hawker.

Rock^Star SG

And i don't give a shit to what globalisation fuck or what theory. A society has to have its own core of citizens and that's that. Imagine Singaporeans flooding China (that is if we have the bloody population) and we speak so much English and Singlish there. You think the locals would entertain us? I wouldn't want that to happen as much as any true blue mainland Chinese because they have 5000 years of history and the core of that beautiful and ancient society should be born and bred mainland Chinese.

So called "jobs shunned by locals" is a myth perpetrated by the state controlled media. That part is absolutely evitable.

She was recommending fish, most probably three kinds of fish, which you misunderstood as chicken and later raw fishes.

Conversation such as your I also encounter, but it is just laughed off. And there pleasentries all around.

I gather your beef is the influx of foreigners, and you are using this incident to vent it.

Alamak again! You go to Crapbox again?

or you just suka suka change nick?

gunner77 SG

Your comments clearly show how shallow your mindset is.

Don't forget Singapore has Malays and Indians.

So what now?

If your theory is "why use other people's language when you have your own." so the Indians and Malays are going to use Tamils and Melayu to converse with someone who speaks Chinese?

Fucking make no sense at all.

Use your brains before you comment.

This world doesn't revolves around PRC.

angel7030 SG

I think it is right for people to vent their displeasure on foreigner, after all, many would not want a stranger in their house. Even as a taiwanese, sometime I am not welcome here, cos my hokkien sound like Xiamen type, ending up misinterpret as PRC gal, couple with my white complex, not much left to hide.

But singaporeans, as an educated lots, should be much expose to a global conception than merely a narrow view on races. For once, I also heard of singaporean getting racial remarks in Oz and USA, some people there look down on Singaporean, and make it difficult of singapore immigrant to work there.

Let us take a recourse into future, by 50 years time, I have a feeling that singaporean may end up having to migrate to china or part of china to find job. And let say, you end up having to serve the then well to do chinese at a resturant with chinese foods, and you speak broken mandarin to them, what will happens, mind me, there are billions of them there

Jia_Ni_loves_cats SG

Well, it would help you if you stop making half-baked assumptions just like you did in the thread about marriage and boys school. Also, have you ever touched on the term "societal tension" in school or researched about it? My guess is no because your take on these matters is very superficial.
