Be thankful. They bring with them banana leaf lunch, pratas and chuputties. Tandoories and massala. Life will be less colourful if all food served are bland and full of herbs only. We need some spice in life.

Not flattered that he tried to hit on you (not just small talk)?
Silence is not golden, as I kena worse off with their smelly vegetarian (no offense to our resident vegan here) meals wafting through my nose :*: Can't help noticing most ah nehs seem to be vegans, or at least those flying. On a MH flight, a family from the dark side had forgotten to pre-order their vegetarian meal. Could have gone hungry, saved by kind female attendant who got them some chocs (or kit kat).

yesterday was a lousy day for me. 2 fugly toishan aunties yap away next to me loudly about family, dirty linen, and soiled underwear non-stop for 1 segment, followed by 2 humungous black gorillas going apeshit with everyone in the next segment, and finally topped by ah neh couple shouting their lungs out in competition with engine noise talking about their hometowns, qualifications and careers for the remainder of the fucked up journey. and they executed the coup de grace by pulling their mobiles to repeat the same tired stories upon arrival. really tough day. :(

My condolences. SOS to sam, who'll get some SUN into your life today:p
How you know the aunties were toishan unless you are one? hehehe........
( Toishan is a region in Canton. The Cantonese of this district is almost unintelligible even to the city Cantonese. Toishan is also called Si-Yip or Say-Yap in Cantonese. The Si Yip districts are : Hoi Peng, Onn Peng, San-We and San-Ning)
Anyway, Toishan people are a dying breed. Most Singapore Toishan cantonese cannot speak Toishanese. Most of the older generation can manage regular Cantonese. The kids are gone case........Mandarin only.....
I would even dare to say that 30% of Cantonese in Singapore have their origins in Si-Yip, but most have forgotten their roots.......

dialects are a dying breed in sg obviously lesser known dialects like toishanese are definitely going to die out in sg. Try to get a sinkie kid that isn't from hokkien peng parents to speak just regular hokkien and that's already going to be difficult not to mention some silly small dialect like toishanese.

Most immigrants to the USA in the 20th Century were from Toishan..... Richer folks from Canton city prefer to stay put. The poorer Toishan cantonese had no choice but to seek their fortunes in the Gold Hill
( kum shan) i.e. - California
Today, the wealth of these emigrants build up the Toi shan region.
early 20th century home in Kaiping ( hoipeng), a town next to toishan.
Clashes between Toishan Cantonese and Hakka people also contributed to the migration. See the "Punti wars"
(Punti–Hakka Clan Wars or Hakka–Punti Clan Wars (Chinese: 土客械鬥/土客械斗) refer to the conflict between the Hakka and Punti in Guangdong, China between 1855 and 1867. The wars were particularly fierce in around the Pearl River Delta, especially in Taishan of the Sze Yup counties. The wars resulted in roughly a million dead with many more fleeing for their lives.)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punti%E2%80%93Hakka_Clan_Wars
Hakka literally means guest family, and Punti literally means original land. The Punti are also referred to by the dialect they spoke, Cantonese. The origins of this bloody conflict lay in the resentment of the Punti towards the Hakka whose dramatic population growth threatened the Punti. The Hakka were marginalized and resentful in turn, and were forced to inhabit the hills and waterways rather than the fertile plains.
When the Ming Dynasty was overthrown by the Qing Dynasty, Ming loyalists, notably Zheng Chenggong or Koxinga (鄭成功/郑成功), fled to Taiwan to raise troops in the hope of eventually retaking China for the Ming. The Qing emperor, in order to stymie these efforts, twice commanded all residents of the coastal areas of Guangdong and Fujian Provinces to move inland by 50 li, approximately 30 km, resulting in a large number of deaths amongst the Punti. After the rebels in Taiwan were pacified, the Qing emperor rescinded these edicts.
However far fewer Punti returned than expected, so the Qing emperor provided incentives to repopulate these areas. The most visible of those who responded were the Hakka. For some time the Punti and Hakka lived together peacefully. As the population of Guangdong Province soared, life became increasingly difficult and unrest broke out.
In 1851, the Taiping Rebellion, led by a Hakka Chinese, Hong Xiuquan, erupted in Guangxi Province and quickly spread throughout Southern China. The rebellion was finally suppressed in 1867. In 1854, during the rebellion, a local anti-Qing Triad took the opportunity to rebel, attacking Heyuan and Foshan. This "Red Turban Rebellion" was finally suppressed in 1857.
During this rebellion, the Hakka had helped the imperial army to raid Punti villages to attack the rebels and their sympathisers. This precipitated open hostility between the Hakka and Punti, with the Punti attacking Hakka villages in revenge.
Bloody battles raged. Both sides fortifying their villages with walls, destroyed bridges and roads, and raised armies as best they could. Entire villages were involved in the fighting with all able-bodied men called to fight. The Punti were armed with the help of their relatives in Hong Kong and the Chinese Diaspora who lived abroad. Some captives were sold to Cuba and South America as coolies through Hong Kong and Macau, and others sold to the brothels of Macau. More than 3000 Hakkas, who were defeated by the Punti in Gui county, joined the God-worship Society.
Conflict reached a devastating scale.
Over a million died and thousands of villages were destroyed......

Conflict also occurred in the state of Perak, Malaya (present day Malaysia) during the mid-19th century when southern Chinese immigrants arrived to work as coolies and mine laborers. Due to linguistic differences and a history of mutual hatred for each other back in China, bloody wars broke out. These series of conflicts, marked by violence between the Cantonese (and later on, Fujianese) dominated Ghee Hin Kongsi and the primarily Hakka Hai San Secret Society is known as the Larut War, which concluded with the signing of the Pangkor Treaty of 1874. ....................(from wiki)
The Pangkor Treaty of 1874 was a treaty signed between the British and the Sultan of Perak. Signed on January 20, 1874, on the island of Pangkor off Perak, the treaty is significant in the history of the Malay states as it legitimized British control of the Malay rulers and paved the way for British imperialism in Malaya.
