how to appreciate FTs --
- learn good mandarin from the PRcians ...
- learn standard english from the native speakers ...
- enjoy having pinoy service staff smile at u instead of sulky local staff (who are frustrated with PAP but vent their anger on fellow singaporeans) ...
- learn to be frugal like the PRCians and india-indians ... don't be like those spendthrift yuppie singaporeans or property flippers - who're up to their eyeballs in debt and don't even have $200 in their main account) ...
- learn to smile and hold doors like western FTs ... forget PAP for awhile (becos then u can't smile) ...
I agree. Have learnt a lot from FTs - take the positive and drop what you can't. Why whine?
