  • Uninvited PRC And Family Helped Themselves To Food At My Private Function

    Uninvited PRC And Family Helped Themselves To Food At My Private Function

    This photo was taken last Saturday during our private function. Without our knowledge, this PRC woman (in red) and her domestic helper (Note: THEY WERE NOT OUR INVITED GUESTS) actually helped themselves to the food, lots of it! Piled up the paper plates with our food and even brought bowls to fill up for her daughters to eat!!! 😳

    When confronted, she had the nerve to argue that she thought the food was free as there was always free food in the function room! So this meant that this was not the first time they did it! They could have taken food from other residents’ private functions too, just that nobody noticed it…

    And she even pushed the blame to her domestic helper saying that it was her helper who told her abt the “free” food! Then since they were already eating halfway, my husband was nice enough to let them finish what they had taken but guess what? They actually left the scene without throwing away the empty plastic plates and cutlery!!! Left their mess on the table outside the function room instead.

    I am totally disgusted by the whole episode… How can we co-exist with such people?!?

  • Alibaba Helps Seven Gay And Lesbian Couples From PRC Get Married In West Hollywood

    Alibaba Helps Seven Gay And Lesbian Couples From PRC Get Married In West Hollywood

    WEST HOLLYWOOD, Calif. (Reuters) – Seven gay and lesbian couples from China were married in the Southern California gay capital of West Hollywood on Tuesday after winning a contest sponsored by a pair of Chinese Internet companies.

    The seven couples were selected from among more than 2,000 based on videos they submitted detailing their love stories, after Internet users voted for their top 10 favorites on Taobao, Alibaba’s popular e-commerce site.

    West Hollywood Mayor Lindsey Horvath officiated the wedding ceremonies at a city library for six gay and one lesbian couple who managed to get U.S. visas. The contest was also sponsored by Blued, a social media app popular with gays in China.

    “We’re so honored and happy to have them in West Hollywood,” Horvath said. “We’ve long been a community committed to equal rights for all people, and advancing and protecting the rights especially of our LGBT community.”

    While these couples’ marriages are recognized in California, which legalized gay marriage in 2013, their unions will not be legal in China. China decriminalized homosexuality in 1997, but does still not allow gay marriage.

    “We’ve been together for almost eight years, so we want to give each other a promise or a commitment for life,” said Hu Zhidong, 32, who met his partner, Liu Xin, also 32, at a party, where they found out they shared the same birthday.

    To Xu Na, 29, and Xue Meng Yao, 21, the only lesbian couple participating in the ceremony, the opportunity to use this event to come out was also important.

    “We want to find a proper time to tell our parents,” Xu said. “This could be a good chance for them to see a lot of positive exposure.”

    During the ceremony the couples recited their vows in both English and Chinese, often while shedding tears.

    Geng Le, Blued’s founder and chief executive, said that while many online media outlets in China were interested in covering this event, Chinese television stations might hesitate, because homosexuality was still a sensitive topic there.

  • PRC Girl Urinates On Grounds Of Ananta Samakhom Throne Hall In Bangkok

    PRC Girl Urinates On Grounds Of Ananta Samakhom Throne Hall In Bangkok

    An image of a young girl from China urinating in front of the Ananta Samakhom Throne Hall in Bangkok was posted online to the collective finger-wagging of Thai netizens, who are once again calling out Chinese tourists for their “lack of etiquette”.

    “This is what happens when there are so many unlicensed Chinese guides here,” wrote Facebook user Tiger Foung, who posted the photo on June 7. “They are so negligent. A Chinese tourist let one’s daughter pee in front of the lawn of the Ananta Samakhom Throne Hall.”

    Foung went on to say that Thai people were ‘disgusted with the Chinese people who are rowdy, have no manners, spit and defecate anywhere they want,’ according to a translation by the Bangkok Post.

    Urging this photo to be shared worldwide, he further added that “In the end, we’ll end up having just low-quality Chinese tourists. We have to share this to world, so they know how bad the Chinese tourists are.”

    Some users from social media say Foung’s post is biased, while a Chinese user chimed in that “If you have to pee then go someplace no one can see.”

    This is only one of many complaints from Thai people about the behavior of Chinese tourists, who previously came under fire for washing their feet in public sinks, drying their unmentionables at the airport, stealing pedicabs and knocking down barricades.

  • PRC Girls Alleging Molest To Blackmail Singaporean Men For Compensation

    PRC Girls Alleging Molest To Blackmail Singaporean Men For Compensation

    Got This from a friend.

    The email below has been circulating around cyberspace.

    Please forward this to all your male Singaporean loved ones and friends. This is something that actually happened to me and I feel that it needs to be shared. I believe my experience will help your male loved one stay out of trouble.

    On the morning of 18th February at about 9.50 am I was standing at Coffee Bean (Novena Square) counter, ordering my usual cup of mocha latte before heading for the office.

    Behind me was a row of leather cushions that the mall has provided. In the corner of my eyes, I noticed a young Chinese lady with an umbrella and a Cold Storage plastic bag, looking really nervous, glancing around every now and then.

    The lady had shoulder length hair tied up neatly in a pony tail and looked pretty plain, wearing just a normal t-shirt and jeans – nothing too revealing. She was about mid 20s to early 30s and pretty pleasant looking I must say. But her eyes were scary when she stared intently at me for a short moment I did not pay much attention to her as I thought she was waiting for the slimming centre to open. I carried on my business as usual, glancing through the Today newspaper.

    As I made my way towards the direction of Banquet coffee shop, she stood up and walked towards my direction. What happened next caught me completely by surprise.
    The lady stopped directly in front me of, stared at me and suddenly screamed “Why you touch me?” Only then did I realise from her unmistakable accent that she is from China. I said “Sorry? What are you talking about?” I was more in shock then angry. The first thing that came to my mind was, is this some woman that I accidentally brushed on the train this morning?

    She did not bother to explain but kept on screaming and pointing her index finger at me “Why you touch me!” about 4 or 5 times. She then squatted, covering her face and cried, crying out over and over again that I had touched her. I was really lost. There were some people walking past me and I felt like a criminal standing there, while people gave me this disgusted look. All the while I was trying to talk to the China lady but she remained in a squatted position, covering her face and crying.

    A t this point of time, a Malay man in light blue coloured uniform walked over from Banquet. Seeing the situation he asked me what happened. The lady stood up and said that I had “touched” her. She then told the Malay man that I needed to give her $500 to “see doctor” or else she would report me to the Chinese Embassy. She took out her hand phone and took several photos of me.

    The Malay man then said, “Bro, I think we better call the police”.

    At this point of time, I had gotten over my shock and anger was slowly taking over. I nodded to the Malay man in agreement. I took out my hand phone too. But instead of taking her photo, I dialled 999 immediately. “I am calling the police myself. Let them settle the matter”. I said calmly to the both of them. At this point of time, she picked up her plastic bag and umbrella, and swiftly left towards the direction of Tan Tock Seng hospital – even before my call could connect!

    We were left there puzzled. Some how I was relieved that it was over and did not want to proceed with the call. The Malay man asked me if I was ok. All I said was “Thanks”. He patted my shoulder and walked away towards the direction of Coffee Bean. Several patrons inside banquet were already witnessing the commotion. I just wanted to get out of there.

    In case something like this happens to you or your loved ones, do not make the same mistake I did, trying to console the woman. Immediately take out your hand phone, take a photo of her and call the police. Please help to spread this around to our Singaporean husbands, sons, brothers and friends.

    Please, my dear Singaporeans, look around you, what has happened to our country? Where have all these pests come from? Think about your loved ones and your other Singaporean friends. Forward this story and make sure that they know what to do when the same thing happens to them.

    DO NOT start arguing or reasoning with her. Just take out your mobile & call police

    My friend is a retired businessman in his early 60 and what he encountered last Saturday in a high end dining/shopping area could also happen to anyone of us.

    My friend accompanied his wife to a bank in Holland Village to do some banking transaction. While his wife was being served by the personal banking executive, he decided to go and do some window-shopping around the area. While admiring the display, suddenly, out of nowhere, a young about 20+ girl pushes him aside and shouted at him, accusing my friend of molesting her. She then asked my friend to compensate her for her “ordeal” – loss of face.

    My friend being a gentleman was stunned and at a loss for word s for a moment because he really never did anything to her. He just stood there and did not know what to do. His mind went blank.

    Luckily, a Caucasian man nearby saw all that and told the PRC girl to stop her nuisance (unsure whether she understood English) and took out his mobile and said he wanted to call the police. The PRC girl quickly walked away joining the other shoppers.

    Should any man become one of the victims, please stay calm. DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT start arguing or reasoning with her. If you try to reason with her, then you have fallen into her trap. In general, people will most likely sympathise and believe a female as a victim. You will end up bending to her demands.

    Just take out your mobile phone or ask someone (if you have no mobile) to call the police, let the law enforcement authority deal with her. For sure, all this PRC girls dare not face the justice of the law because most of them are over-stayers.
