In Sg, singaporeans are spoilt for choice, be it for choosing wives, husbands or photography equipment.. :bsmilie:
Want to get married to a 'guaranteed good' wife? No problem, matchmaking agencies offer choices from China women to vietnam girls, pay a fee and it's all yours without hassle or "trouble". Pick from over a few hundred too!
Want to get married to an angmoh guy? Unfortunately, for gals not so hassle-free, must pak-tor first... :sticktong
Want to buy great droolworthy photographic equipment not available in Singapore yet? Order from B&H or MO on Clubsnap...pick from hundreds of items on ebay also online...
Still the Singaporean method of easy, convenient solutions prevails, whether it be for goods and services, or even marriage...
is it also our mentality to walk away when things turn sour in relationships, saying, it's not our fault, got better fish out there, I have nothing to learn from all this? (Maybe that's a reason why some singles get rejected repeatedly in relationships). After all, what does a fisherman do when he catches no fish? First step, he checks if he is fishing in the right place, and make sure he has the right bait or changes the fishing technique! It's silly to try to catch huge ocean-going tuna with a 6lb fishing reel...
and it's a little more silly if the fisherman buys a fish to bring home just because he didn't catch one! (unless his family is in need of that precious fish)
Hopefully our 'pick and choose' attitude for goods is not one we take towards marriage...
