Ah Tiongs Vs Blangla
Sunday, August 8, 2010
I have decided to write this post because I was awaken by a group of ah tiongs moving in to the unit directly above my house. The worse thing is they have to do it the day after my night shift! They were rather loud and rude, demanded us to shift our cars so that they can park a giant lorry right at my door step and pass their stuff(in those black trash bag) through the window. I don't know if I should say that they are innovative or just simply lazy.
Anyway, back to the topic. Ah tiongs Vs Blangla. Reasons on why they are not welcomed.
Ah Tiongs
-Loud and Rude
-Dirty and unhygenic (Spitting/littering)
-Dangerous riding of bicycle as if they are back at home
Blangla
- Se Mi Mi everytime
- Always in a big group
Can't believe I am going to say this but if I were to choose, I rather have more Blanglas than Tiongs Tiongs. At least blangla are the secretly irritating ones while tiongs are the loud and rude ones. One point for Blangla *Ting Ting*
Anyway, I once saw a documentary on foreign workers in Singapore aka Blangla. It kinda change my impression of them at least alittle. The Morale of the story is Friends are more important than Money. The film showcase the friendships of the foreign workers. Though they are all relatively poor and saving up money to send home every month, they are more than willing to lend money to their friends when in need. And by money, I don't mean $50 or what, sometimes they are willing to lend like their one mth salary.
I mean for someone who's eating white rice with veg curry almost everyday, I would not expect this kind of friendship. But anyway, I am really impressed and will never give the disgusted look when I spot them holding hands etc. Way the go Blanglas=)
