sorry mate,, i lost track again.. always have got problem with getting through what you have put there.. maybe i am too sleepy tonight.. time for bed.. thanks again for your patience.. and magnificent reply.. i will certainly get your idea somehow later.. but for now ... bye.Originally posted by BaByBoY:i`m rather fine w ppl givin examples.. but i do make sure they are used in the correct context. i won be comparing Sg to China like i`m comparing a diamond to a big but useless rock
if u`re more precise in ur comparision to the big picture. pls allow urself to see the `even bigger ` picture. as u know the world is not made up of of a big piece of barren land in ASIA
more of to my concern, bein chinese is nothing more than a ethnic cause.. it`s always the cabablities that sets people apart.. rumors are just a way to set truths stright wo the need to test them and to complain only when things turn out wrong
simply irressistable i still have to highlight the words u`ve said
once again ur`e making sweepin statements that are neither true nor accurate.
i do appreciate people givin their opinion but pls do some `homework` before u come out w the baseless and unaiding sentence
since ur acclaimed protestant understanding of the mainland china`s communial ruling of the people, i`m sure u`re able to withhold ur stand that china is already on the wrong path.
it`s perfectly and politically correct for highly and emtionally challenged ppl like u to defend ur homeland at all cost. however it may haf been rather futile given ur understanding of an even `bigger picture`
if u might be even more precise..
i`ll assure u that chinese government in dealing the issue of Taiwan will not benifit ALL chinese like u`ve claimed it to be..
however in my humble opinions, it`s just making a folly to the world how a upcomin bully a country maybe and how fickle and narrow minded such a BIG brother can be.. and i do only mean BIG as in land size and nothing more than that
hey dude,, lemme tell u a ting,, u`re juz another china chinese,,typically gd at makin `your own facts` , in everything. like the terrorists, they always think they`re rite. u think the muslims love them?? don be silly. but it`s rather good too that u`ve been able to delude urself all the while. as u`re jus mutteringOriginally posted by j28w32:buddy,, let me tell you a thing,, you are just another chinese, typically good at comforting yourself. in terms of money. like japanese they are rich for sure,, you reckong they get respect from whites or other ethinic group of people?? Do not be silly. but it is always good to think positive and know how to comfort yourself in such a cowardly way. as you are avoiding the truth.
It is an open secret that if there were to be a war between our neighbours and us, it must never be over Singapore soil. There would simply be too much destruction.Originally posted by oldbreadstinks:you know, i keep asking about this while i was serving ns but no one ever gave me an acceptable answer
how come we have to do jungle training all the time instead of fibua even though sg's a concrete jungle?
surely they don't think that we can punch all the way up north?
sureOriginally posted by j28w32:sorry mate,, i lost track again.. always have got problem with getting through what you have put there.. maybe i am too sleepy tonight.. time for bed.. thanks again for your patience.. and magnificent reply.. i will certainly get your idea somehow later.. but for now ... bye.
Guess you must be referring to the Lee Hsien Loong visit to Taiwan.Originally posted by j28w32:nobody can deny your right to stand up for your own interests. but the right has to be used in the right way.. that is what i would like to say.
Just one sentence.Originally posted by j28w32:buddy,, let me tell you a thing,, you are just another chinese, typically good at comforting yourself. in terms of money. like japanese they are rich for sure,, you reckong they get respect from whites or other ethinic group of people??

thats the bloody problem! how are we going to get over there!Originally posted by loudmonkey:It is an open secret that if there were to be a war between our neighbours and us, it must never be over Singapore soil. There would simply be too much destruction.
There are threats over cutting our water supply, and if that happens, there are certain plans in place to ensure that the source of water (which is in Johore) will be protected. Jungle training in this instance is very relevant.
Hope I am saying something that most of us would already have known, and hope I am not breaking any official secrets act or something like that!
What i have read about is general conjecture on what the plans are. They are no more than guesses. But it does seem real enough.Originally posted by oldbreadstinks:thats the bloody problem! how are we going to get over there!
Hey, I can't understand his engilish either, even my USA friends, is that Siglish (Sg english).Originally posted by j28w32:sorry mate,, i lost track again.. always have got problem with getting through what you have put there.. maybe i am too sleepy tonight.. time for bed.. thanks again for your patience.. and magnificent reply.. i will certainly get your idea somehow later.. but for now ... bye.
hi,, hope i can find some time today.. so we all can have a great time though.Originally posted by BaByBoY:sure
perhaps u need more time to tink abt my replies.
btw majority or ur replies states that we `do` haf a barrier in communication..
either u cant read colored words or cant comply w my style of writing in deeper analysis by breaking up the paragraphs for easier reference
take you time.
i enjoy exchanging ideas
esp w the creame de la creme of the corhort
for me i`m juz another ordinary guy w too much time to squander
rem these, i`m just like anyother singaporen around. pick anyone on the streets they`ll be far better than me, in any terms..
when u`re facing any problem trying to decipher my words u can just ask anyone here..
mostly they`ll be able to aid u..
for now, good day and take a good rest.

ah.. you would not get any respect if you are coming from a "low" ethnic group.Originally posted by Qitai:Just one sentence.
"I rather be respected as a person on my own merit than be respected as a Chinese."
The former is my choice, the latter is not what I can control.
en.. maybe the shlt is on the rotating fan now. that is going to be anywhere. Just can not understand where those guys' good feeling is coming from? singapore is developed because of this country having a lot of "talents" ??Originally posted by Blueray:Forumers from China must try and understand why s'poreans react so strongly. After all our economy is so bad, lots of people unemployed and mass discontent everywhere. It is understandable that people will get upset easily. I would not be surprised if some forumers posting in this topic are out of jobs....
to be honest, i know nothing about that visit.. at all. Not interested.Originally posted by loudmonkey:Guess you must be referring to the Lee Hsien Loong visit to Taiwan.
I have posted something about it in another thread:
http://www.sgforums.com/?action=thread_display&thread_id=86014&page=5
I dont know if LHL visiting Taiwan is the right way to go about it, but I am guessing it must have been necessary and unavoidable, and in any case, LHL should have already calculated how severe the impact would be on Singapore, should China decide to speak out, and it would seem that the impact has not been too significant.
If you are not referring to the visit, then this post is irrelevant.
no it isn'tOriginally posted by xboxboy:Hey, I can't understand his engilish either, even my USA friends, is that Siglish (Sg english).
based on china's actions, who won't think this way?Originally posted by j28w32:to be honest, i know nothing about that visit.. at all. Not interested.
but i got a feeling, it seems that singaporeans think china is a big country and whatever it does to singapore, it means a "big" thing bullys the "little" thing..
but what if that "little thing" is looking to be fxxked, the "big thing" is not obliged to do sth to stuff it? what kind of logic is going on in here?
Originally posted by j28w32:for sure,there`s miminal things that i can do ensure that you do understand the things from my view points
[b]hi,, hope i can find some time today.. so we all can have a great time though.
and can i ask you a big favour??
I am not a intelligent person apparently.. it is extremely hard for me to decipher your codes which you have put in here.. Got a split headache when i was in bed last night,, my brain is filled with your egyptian words.. Can you just cut your answer short a bit, and use a bit formal english?? at least can you type in the english words properly? getting your idea across does not need writing paragraph after paragraph.. i only can understand simple things..compact and right to the point. because i have got problem with understanding not only your english but also your idea. i do not need "deep analysis" as it might be beyond me. Keep in mind that you are talking with a simple person.
by the way,, tink = think?? haf = have?? hope my guess is right.. as it took me whole morning coffee break to work them out.
Thanks god..
P.S. please do not tell me every singaporean walking on the street can understand what you are saying.. as it does make me feel bad.. even a simple person still has got self-respect.

i`m not surprised at all..Originally posted by xboxboy:Hey, I can't understand his engilish either, even my USA friends, is that Siglish (Sg english).
really thanks for flattering meOriginally posted by j28w32:maybe he is a vetern on the net, or he might think he is.
maybe they are some jargons. I really do not know. but when a person has a messy thinking, it is going to reflect on his language.
please do not allow your lack of interest shatter your stand points here..Originally posted by j28w32:to be honest, i know nothing about that visit.. at all. Not interested.

If China is a big potato, why is it that our government like to suck up to them so much?Originally posted by BaByBoY:what if that `big potato` is just another busybody tring to meddle into the affairs of other people when it doesn`t handle itself well enough.
what kind of logic is happening here??
erm..Originally posted by Blueray:If China is a big potato, why does our government like to suck up to them so much?
if you are working right now, you should have noticed that foreigners like PRC nationals are given job priority over locals. There are still so many jobless locals and yet we are seeing so many cases of successful FTs. Sometimes I really wonder what are the priorities of the PAP anyway. Or are u still studying?Originally posted by BaByBoY:erm..
since when??
suck up are for losers.
we only promote peacful leading of life
we believe in fair treatment and fair trade.
why create trouble when they are not needed??
if you really want to get your idea across.. please do that in a proper way.Originally posted by BaByBoY:really thanks for flattering me
i`m neither a veteran, not vetern, nor think that i`m one
i`m only using abbreviations accepted by many people in the forums in order to save time. however now, it seems that i do not really have a choice but to use very native ways to communicate in hope that you all will finally understand the english at all. not to mention that you all get the ideas across
more than naturally, if something is beyond one`s comprehension, it will be nothing more than junk in his mind. at least i feel that i should forgive the shortcomings in people. not everyone`s perfect i should say or at least most will be good enough to understand my words
