Today was at Raffles Hospital for my pre-uni check up. Well, the venue itself explains how SMU value its students (i hope so). But nm that. Everything was done in about an hour. Quite fast for a hospital and during the peak hours...
Most pple there are the tai-tais... and mostly not locals. So i was being my usual, trying to figure out who these pple are. And, well, not to my amazement, most pple there are the ah tiongs*. They are here to apply for student permits... and to me they seemed rather well off. To them, its a big acheivement to study here.
For us here, we may just look upon them as our competitors, rather than a guest. And the recent debate of indecent Chinese Masseuse in the limelight just made me wonder it their reputation here is tarnished. I've got to admit, i don't fancy their presence here. Cant explain why. Just a flawed impression i have on them...
