  Look out for a Ho or a Ching.
  
  Btw, she wants to be addressed as Ms Ho, not Mdm Ho, though she's married.

  If they see my payslip, they will probably shed tears and feel sorry for me.

  I think they will just laugh at you 'commoner'. Prob throw 1000 dollar note on the floor, make you pick up and laugh some more.
