Local Chinese have a lot to learn from their Malay counterparts especially the girls in how to dress morally.

I dun want to say local girls are materialistic, because I dunno much about malay and indian girls. so far I can see that local born chinese girls are plain materialistic. I do not own a credit card and I have a ATM card only. I went out with an ex colleague to eat at a korean restaurant. When come to billling after dinner, as I do not have a credit card for discounts, my ex colleague took out her credit card for a 10% discount. she made disparage remarks and shake her head, saying I am a failure in mandarin. I was shocked and dulan inside, but didnt retort or rebut her. as the bill is 80, I gave her $40 in cash.

If one does not have a credit card, is one fair enough to be called a failure? I know of one Associate Prof from NTU, he doesnt carry a credit card either, but his annual salary is of 6 figure sum. Is he also a failure for not carrying a credit card as well?

I just have contempt for girls who think like this, really look down on them for being vain, materialistic, petty and greediness not to mention their intellect. I hope our local born chinese women are not like this.

Don't really understand why need many $ to survive. For now, no $, no another half. But for me, just a simple life can already, as long as me and my another half feel happy can already.

to u is ok, but to my ex colleague I do not know why she made the remark and shake her head?

to her, if you dun own a credit card, your income is not 30k per annum lar was what she implied, like no status.

ditzy SG

Wah lau eh, its only her leh, you burn down the whole forest.

Citibank clear card no min income I think.

Credit cards are for convenience, without them, it'll be hard for me to apply HDB flat, and renew passport, and sometimes income tax.

Citibank clear card no min income I think.

no I have no interest in her whatsoever. I know citibank card got a no minimum income requirement for credit limit of 500, but I do not want to apply as I am happy using ATM card and cash.

but the thing is, isnt she vain and rude? even if I am poor, is that her business?

BanguIzai SG

no choice. People are brought up to see the world like that. Materialistic

ditzy SG

You have not met enough girls yet, she might be the best of the worst. Being vain, and rude is part of a girl's package, the difference is just the intensity. I can tell you I am ruder, but hey you dunno that.

Louis dave36 SG

you are female? if you are, I hope you look beyond people socio-economic status. that is just being superficial. nevertheless, you should respect people for who they are, not what they have.

Yes, I am female, and I am vain, and ill mannered. You will never hear me utter a word of "please"and "thank you". Instead of calling you "sek bai", I will call you "sey zai bao" instead.

TYING SG

I do have some female friends who behave like what you mention. But not all behave in this manner though, so can't really fault all local chi girls. I don't believe in the usage of credit cards, so when being mocked, I'll just say, you no money to pay uphand first must borrow from bank, then you will start seeing them argue about how they got the card through whatever requirements.
