  aiyo...as usual, see me first things, ask" where is your gf huh?"
  
  then i , says "break-up a while ago. Now trying to find a better one. "
  
  then they , says " its ok lah, still young, can afford"
  
  worse, some straight away ask " when r u getting married like your bro?"...

  I understand, it's the mindset.
  
  My reservist mates are all NTC grads and their happy with where they are. And if any Malay who have higher education than the 'norm'. They'll make fun of those A level grads or U Grads.
  
  Hai. Culture and mindset.
