went to this 7 eleven outlet today to buy something, and me and this ang-moh couple (presumable tourists) were slightly in front of me. both were in their late 50s - 60s.
the wife went in, and i waited for the husband to go in to, but this kind old soul instead open the door for me big-big and gestured me to go in first.
when i saw that, i was so touched i want to cry because you don't see SGreans doing this (if they did, God will call the devil "daddy"). i smiled and told him thank you.
(btw, everything in that Marina square 7-11 costs double the price of elsewhere.....can u beat that???!!!)
i learnt a big lesson today, and can now understand why so many SG girls like them.
it's because they're real men, big-hearted and gracious.
not like tiny SG guys who fight with women to see who can get into MRTs first.
KNN.
and i'm a SG guy btw, though i don't push others to enter MRTs or buses.
Singapore should welcome real men like these so that our population can be more gracious; those gracious and kindness campaigns are useless.
and not reall SG guys too........SG girls must learn from ang-moh girls too......more elegant, more gracious, more big-hearted.
when i compare local girls to foreign ones, they have lots to learn in terms of character.
last time when i was a staff at Watson, the easiest customers to deal with were all ang-mohs; hardest to deal with are PRCs (as expected).
i always avoid PRC customers and favored the ang-moh ones.
this is why ang-mohs are given better / priority service everywhere (on the plane, at restaurants etc), because generally, their race have set a good reputation for themselves and in our hearts and minds.
think u only invite flaming when u post stuff like that
singaporean r just to shy to do it or its weird to open a door for stranger...because we watch americans and europes media but we llive in a asian cluture that all i can say for now..
yes!..
i agree..
but not all ang mohs but generally, they are reli nice..
ter was once, ang moh gal, walked past me n my frenz, turning to us and smile. so sweet..
ter was once in a hospital, this ang moh guy wait for us to enter first and get out first.
i was like "thank you" (slightly bowing)
7-11 forever ex than all others..
i prefer cheers!
I agree with haha879 and it's culture and also individual thing. Because there are so many people gracious or not that are in all different culture. So to say one race of people is big hearted gods is just too much exaggerate.

But see Singaporean or malaysian ask me something,will at least say thks.

90% ang moh sibeh polite one.. esp when they are tourists..

US ones maybe more polite.
aust ones not tat sincere.
i ever met some nasty ones but its like 1/1000. reli..
msian rude la.. talk dun noe like simi sai.
china lagi rude n kpo, when i do demo with customers, they like to stand behind or beside n hear.
indians dun say thank you but 'sscuse me' and 'ah cha'..
You hold the door for a lady, they'll think you're trying to score points and hit on them later on.
An angmoh hold the door for a lady, they think he's being gentlemenly and gracious.
Enough said.

simi yi si?
ive seen demanding and unreasonable angmohs before... make our local shop keeper angry with their stuck up attitudes...
we sgporeans can also be gracious and kind when we are touring in foreign countries with holiday mood.. probably not so in singapore island where its a rat race down here.
Like any human race, there are good caucasians and also bad caucasians.
Can't generalise a group as being good or bad. =)

it's good to acknowledge the merits of others.
but when you start using the word 'god', you're going into the colonial inferiority complex.
aiya not all ang mos are kind one, but most are, i work at taka i see so many impatient ang mos, rude one, bossy one, kpkb one.
recently australians beat up asians
wow, big hearted
but true la, so far i have my own exp also
theres this angmoh lady at the supermarket at novena
and she had a basket of quite a number of stuffs
and i take 1 newspaper only
and the let me take the queue before her

I got do this leh. hahaha. I dont think it's a big deal la. Open only ma.
Some people will thank you, some dont. But i prefer ple to say thank you lor. If not so rude leh. When people open for me i will say thank you one lor. And smile.
but then i have to disagree with this la:
SG girls must learn from ang-moh girls too......more elegant, more gracious, more big-hearted.
Please leh. You think all ang moh very gracious and big heart meh? You sure or not?
There are good bad kns awesome people in each race.
Goodness gracious, 1 old caucasian couple, and the old man opens the door and lets you in first, and you feel like this whole world doesn't owe you already.
If I did the same, you'll probably get down on your knees and kowtow to me.![]()

You might wish to consider making a trip to Europe (preferably Central and Eastern Europe) and patronise the touts at renowned tourist attractions to boost your self-esteem a tad. I am sure it will do your confidence wonders to be worshipped by a seemingly superior race as they seek to charge you exorbitant sums for their products.
Then again, all that graciousness is worth paying for if it inflates your self-esteem a little, isn't it? ![]()
im not sure this make sense but they are foreign ppls wat... i mean c'mon, if u go to their country, u have to be polite or else they think that the country u born in are plain rude and they will have second thoughts of welcoming u to their country. U may never know wats their true color when they move back to their own country.
