Some pretty sweeping generalisations you're making there, pal.

Looks like we went in opposite directions, VSE. I studied media and psych, and in my spare time learned to repair cars and tune engines.
Can I have my stapler back? lol!
Actually I have done quite a bit of work in the automotive motorsports (legal not street) department as well.

But there is one thing they cant beat singaporeans in. Singaporeans are good terms with the whites coz they know we are also from a developed nation..They tend to treat us with respect.
My gosh..."the whites". I am waiting when you start using the other colors. What's next huh? Geez.

No, the Swingline stapler doesn't bind up as much as the Boston staplers and if they take my stapler I'll set the building on fire...

Okay, you weren't from Hicksville, so it's not NASCAR - Indycars?

Hmmm...
I had alot of fun in Australia while studying there. You got to mix with different kinds of people. I mix with the locals angmors, aborigine-mix, Taiwaness, Hong Kongers, Malaysians, Indonesians, etc.
When i came back, i still have angmor and taiwan friends whom i meet up when they come to Singapore.
The irony is that i don't mix with other singaporeans. Singaporeans tend to just stick to themselve and say that the place sux. Of course, it sux... they made it sux themselves.

ultimately it really depend on the individual.

lol.. thats what Associations in Uni is for. Participation in activities.
I am now maximising my time here and full on participation in everything i am interested in. Previously was too focused on partying and anything related to clubs , booze and girls.

most of the asian kids here keep to themselves. if you mix around with the locals or the european kids you would be condemned by the asian kids. its a weird world.
