actually that time,my wife also ask me about credit card cos i think her friend got debit card with the visa logo.at first i intend to apply for her a supp card but after consideration and also due to that stupid bank ask this ask that for document and for just a supp card,i did not apply for her.

but to be honest,i think she dont really need one as cash is still king and is best she stick to cash rather than sign sign sign,then sign my life away hahaha

Thank you bros. Your answers are from your personal experiences which are priceless. You have saved bros reading this thread and may be even me. Bro lament, I feel sorry for your friend.

There is method in that newspaper boy's madness.

One day soon we might see China, Vietnamese, Filipino, Myanmarese, Indian, Korean and Japanese marching contingents in our Chingay and National Day Parades. They will be dressed in their respective ethnic costumes. This is not far fetched. The Singapore Soka Association already has done so, and they are a small group.

we are only observers to this matter...only those involved knew more...the newspaper men spent quite a bit of money on the VB who met with accident...also paid the 1st installment of the hospital bill...but the VB was already working for them and have to take care of the handicap mother together with a dirty old father...always take the liberty to hug her...

the current wife is not as pretty but also very hard working...got pregnant very fast...also have to work daily...at fast has a Indo maid to take care of the handicap mother but later also no more...

Foreigners are everywhere in Singapore now. From coffeeshop to Post office to executives, foreigners are taking up almost every position in Singapore. Sometimes i feel unjust for Singaporeans, who need to fight for survival with foreigners, but when i look at how some singaporeans work, their attitude etc, i thought stiff competition may just be better. Vietnamese are still minority in Singapore, mostly being spouses of Singaporeans.

Its normal la. They have too many committments to their family. Till now, my wife and i still have issues over her watches. I think i mentioned before in the forum. My wife change watches every few months, max 6 months with 1 watch. Although the watches i buy for her are not too expensive, around $200 to $400 for one, but she will find reasons to change watch every 6 months or so. After she change watch, her `old' watch will be given to her sister when we meet her in Saigon, and she does all these behind my back. I will only realise when i see her sister wearing her watch. Initially i will question her, and it will always lead to arguments. Nowadays, i just keep quiet but try my best to prevent her from changing watches so often.

correct bro,my wife use to like to change hp then after few months,bring back to give her mother or sis use.now is shoes,bag and clothes.she only use her things few time then bring back when she is back.i dont know is it because of face issue or their habit?but she did tell me before that she have to buy things back as a gift to family and friends cos always they will ask why no give them any gift from singapore for them when she see them when she go back.thats why now she also dont like to go back. anyway now like u,i also sometime close one eye as long is not expensive.

still remember when she is still my girlfriend,i bring her to mustafa to buy lots of chocolate to bring back to give to her family member and friends cos she say singapore chocolate taste better

i did told her that whatever u buy to give them,u must never give your family an impression that u are well off here.or else if they start to borrow from u money,u have to face it if they start to ask from u money cos u create all this in the first place to let them know that u can afford to borrow them.
