And my experience is also two extreme. One (a man) is very layback and one (a woman who has her daughter with her in Singapore but her husband is still in China) is very ambitious, very driven.<BR/><BR/>All I can say is ... "one rice feed many peoples".<BR/><BR/>:)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32927502.post-58085884144583411272008-05-17T08:23:00.000+08:002008-05-17T08:23:00.000+08:00It's "man man", the same words appear consecutivel...It's "man man", the same words appear consecutively, which means "slowly". :)Applehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05389493572625656846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32927502.post-35375428888411020192008-05-16T14:31:00.000+08:002008-05-16T14:31:00.000+08:00hi haanthanks for giving some insights on yr perso...hi haan<BR/><BR/>thanks for giving some insights on yr personal experience & yr friend's. now that uve mentioned, i remember about some other experiences as well. <BR/><BR/>there must be a reason why prcs are like that im sure. seems weird huh. its sad that many have a bad impression on them - so even the good ones like ive encountered cant change that perception. <BR/><BR/>maybe time will change em :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08147376627075497777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32927502.post-30730138292492733002008-05-16T09:18:00.000+08:002008-05-16T09:18:00.000+08:00reg this topic, i think i've got a lot to say :)wh...reg this topic, i think i've got a lot to say :)<BR/><BR/>while studying overseas, the encounter with some chinese (from china) friends was "okay", coz most of those able to go overseas are rich. however, u could still feel their stinginess. sometimes when being generous to offer them something, they will then really take a lot than you expected. however, this is still fine. i just opened my eyes larger and realized the fact.<BR/><BR/>while traveling to china last year and been there for weeks, a lot of times, a question popped up in my mind. i started to wonder if i'm really proud being a Chinese, coz from my point of view, the behaviour and attitude of the chinese i met in china, were really bad. sometimes u really can't understand why they could have done so - reckless, dirty, greedy, full of lies etc.<BR/><BR/>now, when i'm here in msia, i read the weekly articles in Sin Chew, written by a Malaysian who is doing charity in China. this week's article is about - <BR/><BR/>she offered temporarily shelter to her friend's 2 relatives. but, it ended up 5 ppl went to her house. ok, since they were finding job and accommodation, she offered them shelter and food (she's not rich also coz is doing charity only, not having full time job). when on their own, they ate very simple food, to save money. while the bill was on her, they ate like nobody's business. the worst thing was, when they left her house, they took away her food and things also, without permission, of course. this left her a very bad impression.<BR/><BR/>in another article previously, she said she traveled with a chinese guy. everytime, after meal, the guy would put a cockroach into the bowl, then asked the boss come. then asked for free meal (or more) due to the "self-created" cockroach. <BR/><BR/>last time i felt so eager to go china to take a look. now, if u ask me, i think i won't go, unless there is a very special purpose.haanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07150179855376396285noreply@blogger.com
