East meets west

Mom once told me she's prepared to marry me off to a faraway land.
Cos' when I was a teen, I'm only attracted to guys of mixed parentage.
I simply find them more attractive physically?
Intellectually too, perhaps?
& I could well fit into the group of people I hung out all the time.
I was a super rebellious & the so called "ang moh pai" girl,
totally digs hip hop & embraces things differently from most of the school girls.
I was loud, attention grabbing & do/say whatever I want.
At a point, mommy was a little afraid that I might become homosexual cos' I don't date boys.
And when I did, she always have bad things to say about them.
Then again, it's always good to listen to mama.
Cos' whatever bad points she sees in my ex bfs base on 1st few meetings/ impression always turns out true.
I refused to listen, just want to prove her wrong.
I was wrong.
So, I say byebye to them eventually.
I'm the kind who learns things the hard way.
Heartbroken, cry for the longest period, etc...
Anyways, my point for today's entry is not about my ex bfs,
but what I noticed from my own and/or others experiences.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Easterners (refering to Asian guys, in general)
+ SUPER MCP
sometimes can be a good thing, I thought.
A lady will feel more protected & cared for?
- Woman is always inferior to man.
Man bring the money home, job's done.
Everything else is the woman's responsiblities...
DO we hand 10 pairs of limbs & can teleport?
+ Don't talk unless nesseccery.
Man of few words are better cos' they are mature & "steady"
Or are they just boring?
Actions speaks louder than words.
I have to agree sometimes promises are nothing unless fulfilled.
- Woman should know what to do, at appropriate timing.
How are we supposed to know what's on their mind,
or what exactly is expected?
+ Old school traditions.
Man & woman can be "equal" in the modern period.
But they still at least pay for the date's meal
& not going on dutch for everything single thing.
- Traditional, superstitious, beliefs, myth, etc...
Our generation believe in science,
or at least what our 5 senses (or 6th sense) can detect.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Westerners (refering to non-Chinese roots)
+ Verbal
A simple thank you, I'm sorry, excuse me, I miss you, I love you, please, etc.
makes a lot of difference.
Simple words can brighten up someone's day, in a few seconds!
Good conversation is very important in all sorts of relationship.
Build those communication skills!
- Speak alot, no actions.
Lotsa saying and/or promises,
nothing is materialised at the end of the day.
+ Body contact.
A friendly bear hug, kiss, nudge, anything!
Do you know it's clinically proven that baby feels much more "safe",
when the mom touches the baby frequently?
- Too much skin contact.
Those actions might seemed overly friendly,
& taking advantages of a lady.
Try kissing the lady's hands instead!
+ Share.
Okay this point is abit tricky. Different culture & backgrounds make people different.
In this case I'm just comparing to SG man.
Many guys I know are just not willing to share. Selfish & self centred.
- Arrogant.
Yes US has the controlling powers, still.
But seriously, I don't think it's going to stay much longer.
Probably we will see other countries such as China being the next big thing in my lifetime.
So don't be so damn proud & look down on Asian~
-------------------------------------------------------------
Alright, I don't know why am I doing this in the middle of the night.
Perhaps I felt sad that a good friend of mine has left SG.
He's on the air, now...
