can someone here please find me a job. I love this place
Everyone form an orderly queue now please, no pushing at the back!!Depemding on what you do, it is not necessarily that hard to getba job here .... If you are here for a few days more, have a look on Monster.com.sg and get yourself a face to face with a few of the correct industry head hunters.

I guess most of these rich kids fezzas and lambos are funded by daddy? Funding $1m of car in your twenties takes some doing .... I am sure they are not all heads of hedge funds...(?)
Some of it is 2nd / 3rd generation money, some of it is money laundering, and some of it is just raw wealth ....This Kiasu thing is doing my nut in - don't get the obsession with being first all the time on the MRT when they are just off to work for a white boss at a european/US company - fricking losers.
(Sorry, have a lot of local hate at the moment)

They want to get into the lift before you have got out, FFS that does my head in at times, .
Same applies for MRT.. tempted to shove people back onto the platform when they trample you when you are getting out./PH Director/Goatee mode off

Tempted? I'm an 80kg Angry Ang Moh who hates his job - I AM coming out of the lift/MRT carriage, and they ARE going backwards rapidly!
/PH Director/Goatee mode off
Hong Kong is much the same, I spend a lot of time there and took a couple of years to lose my gemtlemanly ways and let people through, now I walk in a straight line and don't move for anyone over there, luckily I am 2 foot taller than most Chinese so its not so bad./PH Director/Goatee mode off
Why is it, Asians in a hurry or just walking towards you, see you, bump into you then apologise, just use common sense FFS, Dum ass MoFus'
As for Singapore, I here you have to pay $US70k just for a permit to own a half decent car there
there seems to be a lot of pent up angst here ....
I find the simple solution is to not use public transport, it is the one thing that does seem to create an "angry Ang Moh" faster than anything else.
Last time i used the MRT there was only a red and a green line .... although there was talk of a purple one opening soon ......
Ohh and yes, it is now $SG92k for the entitlement certificate for a car .... (plus 130% import duty) - but it is well worth the money to prevent "angry Ang Moh syndrome"
How's the 'rocco going Bing-o?

Off subject a lttle i know but Bing o, I had never heard of Kiasu before you just mentioned it so decided to look it up on Google.....
to a true believer it is the 3 K's that you must live your life by - Kiasu - Afraid to loose
Kiasi - Afraid to die
Kia Cheng Hu - Afraid of the government

i get that a lot too ..... 
Talking of kiasu, I had a classic yesterday in the main HV car park. It is always busy at lunch time and cars circulate waiting for a space. By luck a guy comes out of the shopping centre and his car is near where I happen to be. I pull over and indicate left as he gets in his car and pulls out. As I inch forward slowly this big black Mazza (Cambiowhatsit) overtakes me and pulls straight into the space. Nuts ! I then park my car in front of his and go to lunch.
