Aiya, chill ... Turn a deaf ear Lo. Let him moan. His result will be the same. He can cry father cry mother, but u shouldn't get yourself upset la. U should be busy thinking how u wanna deco your house Liao ... And start to compile a price list and supplier. Start early, this should be a joyful milestone in your life ...

[Arowana88]

if those seriously need the car , can loan it to them but not always la .....

I hope you not mentioning me... hehe. i just find singaporeans more selfish than some ppl in malaysia, maybe because cars in singapore very ex and they treat their car like wife or baby..

hope ppl here dun get retrench or out of job and end up broke and have to go tru difficulities and end up have to borrow this and that but in the end kana criticized and screwed!!

We came into this world empty handed and we leave this world empty handed also, so if anyone desperately needed help hope many of you can help if not having a forum and just TCSS also no point if one cannot help some bros who really need a helping help!

No , i wasnt refering to you , if so , DOA will scream at me liao coz he always borrow car from his buddy when he go jb weekly.
Its more like my personal view and style , i try not to borrow things from ppl unless I cant get it and need to save a Life or so .
in this forum , we been helping a lot of ppl already esp Wuqi.
But before we help the person , the person must also try to help himself/herself too.
Always rem no ones owes u a living , whether to help its up to them.
i dun agree on what you said about singaporeans are getting selfish . there are really gd singaporean like Wuqi and all of us are learning from him and try to pay it forward to other ppl .

have u pay it forward today ?

[Funds Transfer]

Scary, 85k, how many years must the average man in the street work to pay that off?
I know its nothing to guys earning 20k or more a month but how about those earning just
5-6k?

My exact sentiments.

Just published. A brand new 2.0 Toyota Camry goes for $161,988.

[DREAMorACTION]

Alamak, i got looped into this ...

That's what friendships are for leh ... Share and reciprocate. I don't just receive without giving. My buddy and I talk about "brotherhood" and we share a lot of things. I don't just drive and return with0 empty tank. I also help to send it for washing sometimes (when time permits). We must know how to treat the other party well. If its one way traffic, sooner or later, the "friend" will become "enemy"

ya , some ppl quite auto to do it .
but some really one kind la .... also rem if u damage it , can u afford to pay it back ??
not wan to drag u down on this la , just that i was replying to Wuqi ma then Arowana thought i saying him

[RedsYNWA]

Tried EDL few times. 10 mins to/fm Taman Molek compared to average 25 mins via Tebrau.
As usual Malaysia customs run out of White Card since few weeks ago. You can go thru without the white card. My advise is to always keep one filled card in your car just in case.

Thanks for the info. Good to finally have a fellow Molek Haven buyer in the forum. Will be going back to Malaysia tonight. Will try the new EDL and see how long it takes. Is it still possible to take the shortcut if I use EDL?

[lastresort]

Don't be sad, affairs of the heart one cannot control. Concentrate on getting financial independance first, the rest will fall into place nicely.

One of the best advices I'm getting now. I am sure Bro Wuqi and many more have gone through more hard pains, and I should take it like a man!

apologies if I have missed out some posts that I didn't reply, will get busy for another 1-2 months..

JUST MY 2 CENTS..

Confirm plus chop she wasn't. I have no issues loaning to friends (and i know most with the exception of one would have done the same for me)

I am 100% true Singapore but as a friend always said, i am a "fei dian xing xin jia bo ren", not sure if its really a compliment or not.
A short list of somethings i have done before:

Bought gaming consoles off friends even when i knew they were outdated, they were too proud to borrow but were clearly in need of money

Joined in a fight and got beaten up together with my sec 1 friend, fought together, got beaten up hehe.

Used my dads car to evacuate one from school who was being threatened by gangs, almost got beaten up.

Went to rescue someone who was caught for trespassing, he ran off instead and told my parents i trespassed, got beaten up.

Loaned friend money and passed him all the canned food etc when i was in sec school days. Shared with him my pocket money.

Sent a friend (Malaysian) from work regularly back to Nanyang Poly as his car was parked there. (Of course, after i changed department, this person doesn't even say hi when i walk pass him in the office)

Bought house from a friend when he was in need.

Covered for friends everytime they are in trouble

Gave lodging to a friend who was in the process of family issues

Brought friends to more than 10 places to view houses.

Middle of a stormy evening - Repair car tire for a friend and pumped it with air

Drove them to Jalan Kayu from office for lunch and sent one back home when he wasn't well

Refused company CEO who, after a speech, was asking to sit next to Wuqi's but Wuqi
said Sorry but cannot as my friend is coming back. -This was a CEO Wuqi 1000% respect
and likes but he promised his friend he will hold the seat. Of course, this same friend (who asks
for a house for the weekend but didn't turn up) said to Wuqi, i can stay what, you didn't
have to hold for me.

Went ahead and paid up for them first, the deposit when buying property.

Borrowed my car to hunt for his second squeeze (he succeeded by the way)

Loaned my member cards, access cards on numerous occasions (only to those i really trust though)

Yes, agree, worthy friends are harder and harder these days, i will still give chance and benefit of the doubt but once they pass it then i basically know where i stand with them. Thats why i treasure those around me.

On my tombstone, I don't need it to say rich/successful/smart.

I just hope it will say.
Resting beneath this stone, a loyal, kind and honest man.

Thanks sis Crystal, actually you are right, i still think Singaporeans are kind and helpful in general but the policies and environment we are in when in SG is so combative and stressful, no one remembers the right way to act anymore.

I am nobody special, just an average person who is just doing his part as a Singaporean. Many will do like what i am doing, in fact you are one of the good examples
here. Thank you for helping others too.

[wuqi256]

yes , i am born in the yr of Dragon and I know you are tiger year ....

I am also a dragon, an unlucky one actually as the fortune teller foretold.

Think of it as one of life's lessons or class that you must yet go through or experience. Only when you really encounter one who loves you as much as you love her will you be able to treasure each other more.

Man or no man, affairs of the heart stings like salt on fresh wound and hurts for years after. If it was mutual love and then love lost, be happy for at least you did love each other and were truly happy during that time.

If she never loved you, it doesn't mean that she hates you, it just means that love was never there and you never were in her heart. That she refused you was helping you cut short your loss and waste of time, she is setting you free to pursue your true love. Hence don't give up, if one tries often enough, regardless of the number of failures, one would succeed eventually.

99% of the things you would strive for can actually be realised (exception being immoral, illegal, unethical and plain scary stuff).
Focus on your foundation and trust me, when you are able to support yourself and family, etc. Love will come in its own time, neither hurried nor forced but timely. Always in its own time.

Seems like pricing is ever on the rise. Luckily i eat at coffeeshops most times. :P
Seriously though the Gu Wen Cha or Tea Garden place (At Bukit Indah round about)
i frequent?

The service, just like Ali cafe has gone down the drain. Maybe because i look too poor to be
able to afford a seat there but for Gu Wen Cha, i go there so regularly but the service
is still bad. I even gave tips but its still bad as some of the businesses change staff so often
that in the end, its no point. Even Yews cafe, the staff there never smiles or greets us.

Just go for the food and ignore the service (lack of) but giving Gu Wen Cha a miss as even
the management doesn't seem to care. Felt pity for them when they kind of missed out on
biz when Setia closed off some roads for upgrading and affected their business, so thought
i would support.

Instead, when parking, got chased away, another time already sat on a table and started ordering,
again got asked to sit at another table even though all other tables were
empty.

Yeah Tea Garden at the roundabout have this irritating habit of closing off a large section and squeeze all the people to the remaining tables. I thought it is abit strange too, afterall the whole eatery area is not that big?! Some of the food I tried is not warm enough like the fried bee hoon and mee goreng..

Actually I find eating at coffee shops in MY not much cheaper than eating at eatery shops, and the latter environment is better - less smoke and flies - especially those with air con. The last time I ate at the Golden coffee shop mee hoon kuey, there was a fly in the soup and when I told the stall lady and asked her to cook another bowl (nicely btw), her smiley face turned black immediately and brought back the bowl without a word..
