I'm all for free love .... I just hope some ladies can open their eyes wider and not settle for some second stringers and also-rans just because the chap's "different" ....
Plenty of ang moh trash here!
I had a Filipino patient recently in her 30's... and I was horrified to see her husband in his 60's, with a full head of white hair!
OK... erm... let's celebrate love.

You know what's interesting? My Aussie Team Leader used to tell me that it's weird, but the Filipino Team Leader seems to be ruder and more obnoxious to the Asian staff than to the Aussies. She used to say that she would never talk to the Aussies the way she talks to the Asians.
In the end, the day before my last day on that ward, her unreasonable shouting at me was the last straw that broke the camel's back. Even the other staff who were around in the locker room were horrified at her behaviour towards me. When she left the room, the tension was still thick in the air, so I looked at an Aussie staff, she said, "That was so rude! Unbelievable!" and I just said, "Yeah, she's like that to me all the time. Bitch!"
That TL later sms'd me and said that she had heard me call her Bitch, if I want to be a friend, I should know how to be a friend, to which I replied, "Forget about being friends. You would never have treated me that way if I were an Aussie. Even an Aussie TL has commented on your behaviour before. Friends? Forget it... you are too double-faced!"
So she, of course, thought she was being wronged, yada yada, complained to the Aussie TL, who told her that she's not being professional shouting at me, then sms'ing me when she could have approached me directly.
Thank God the Aussie TL heard my side of the story first before landing judgement. Phew! Too many Filipinos in my old ward. Not a healthy environment.
I had the unfortunate experience of having Filipino nurses attending to my dad during the last stage of his life in Mt A in S'pore... Think not very professional....Sometimes I do wonder if they are really fully qualified or are they just another "cutting costs" measure in S'pore.

Fatum, what you've said is so true. A lot of Asian women here sell themselves short just to marry an ang moh.
Maybe, that's why I've had ang moh men approach me in the streets here. Tamade... just because I happen to be around the Victoria Street area doesn't mean that I'm a Vietnamese or whatever other nationality that's willing and desperate for a piece of Ang Moh love machine!
I feel like puking now...

Well, cost-cutting measure AND to meet the serious staff shortage back in Singapore.
I don't like to giggle at work, unless we're in the tea room, or behind the nurses' counter or in the drug room, out of sight of the patients and their visitors. Not them... anywhere, anytime, laughing and giggling.
Hell, in my old ward, they even spoke loudly across the ward to each other in Tagalog!
When a PRC colleague tried to speak to me loudly in Mandarin, I told her to tone down and talk in a corner because I don't think it's nice to just yell across the corridor in one's own language.
You know what, I think a few of the foreign nurses who have worked in Singapore before, kinda try to have their 'revenge' on Singapore nurses here. Back in Singapore, they weren't treated well, so here, we're on par, a few of them end up being sarcastic about Singapore.
One bloody PRC even had the cheek to tell me that Singaporeans speak 'funny English' in her own irritating mock Aussie accent. That one's a faker who tries really hard to talk like the Aussies, who like her a lot because they think that her ability to speak English is all because of their teaching as she first arrived in Australia with English so bad, no one could understand her.

He thought nothing wrong to it, so he agreed.
He later found out that she had tried to find out how much he had in his bank account!
She had also told him that they ought to get married cause they had dated for eight months then. And she added that she needed AUD20,000 from him upfront to support her parents because after marriage, she can't do so any longer. 
He immediately smelled a rat, and beat a hasty retreat, saying "Thanks, but no thanks!"
He tells me that after him, she managed to hook an American man, fleece him out of all his money, and is now the owner of a string of designer-brand boutiques or something.

And a few of them end up venting their frustrations on the new Singapore grad nurses, ganging up to bully them in the first few months.

These PRC cannot speak English, still said we speak funny English. I have not acquire any Aussie accent at all. Even my ex-colleagues and bosses lah and meh with me.
At least when I tell colleagues or customers that I am from S'pore, they said they love S'pore. Some customers even tell me though I have a different accent, I am clear, not like some Chinese, and I assumed they R referring to PRC
-
I just received a pretty rude and very abrupt PM :
"what is your post, how much is your salary and how long have you been in it?
and what was your salary at first?
Like hell I will reply to this kind of PM! Someone as uncouth as that, probably shouldn't even consider nursing in the first place!

Some PRC very easy... When I first came.... and was lost and asked some Ang Moh taxi drivers for directions, they ask me to be their gf, and they got mother. Bloody hell, think I from PRC. And my brother was with me somemore. These PRC gave chinese bad names

Precisely! A pot calling the kettle black.
Pride always goes before a downfall. I should know... cause I used to be foolishly arrogant myself.
The follies of youth. Notice how the PRC's always tend to add extra syllables to their words?
Eg. "glare" becomes "geh-lare"
"wound" becomes "wound-eh"
"must" becomes "must-eh"

Do they have difficulty pronouning or wat.... Jus remember one of my PRC classmate here. She was married in China. In 2004, she told me she divorced her hubby so that she can stay on.... The naive me was shocked. Now I am used to it

Yeah! And a few Vietnamese too.
That's why I get approached whenever I'm in the Victoria St / Lennox St / near the govt commission flats area. Tamade... I usually respond to them in bloody good English to stun them a bit.
Recently, this obese Aussie bloke waved to me from across the street like he knew me. I turned around, eh, bo lang leh... only me there...
So when the green man came on, I crossed the road and walked past him.
He ran after me and walked beside me, trying to strike up a conversation :
"Hello, Miss! Good day to you!"
(Me starts to get super suspicious... is he selling something...) "Oh... erm... Hello! I don't think I know you, mate. "
"Yeah, you don't. Would you like to get to know each other?"
"Erm, sorry, not really." (hastens pace)
"Oh wait... you're beautiful today." (huffs and puffs trying to catch up, stomach bouncing up and down... gross!)
"I'm always beautiful, not just today." * tosses hair for effect...
"Yeah... you are beautiful..."
"Sorry, mate. I'm busy, I'm heading towards my workplace. Have a good day!"
(gallops away)
I told my colleagues and we had a good laugh. -

Sadly, we live in a very "xian4 shi2" world today.
No money, no honey.
Unscrupulous behaviour has become so commonplace that nobody thinks twice about it anymore. The social stigma that such behaviour used to get no longer seems to exist.
I still cringe each time I see a pretty young Asian thing perched on the wrinkled, saggy arms of some old ang moh. Eeee yerh!!
