Yes, according to EDMW the real rich in Singapore all stay 3 room HDB and take MRT

because that is how they got rich, by being frugal

i know a friend who stay landed house jio me 1 day go for dinner. He say he got a $50 Crystal Jade voucher exchange from his credit card points. So i happy happy go dinner with him, we order share share food and drinks.

So when the bill come:

(cannot remember the exact price) around $110++ (nett around $130)

He say he pay first. So i after he return to the table, i thought i pay him $50 should be more than enough.
But he say the total bill is $130.00, each person is $65.00, then i said i thought you have a $50 voucher thus jio me to come crystal jade, he said yes correct. But that voucher is he deduct on his own share only.

Who has a friend like such calculative before?

Actually bank relationship managers know a lot that have a few millions in the back acct wear very jialat when they go visit the bank managers.

Yar. Many years ago when I’m still at branch banking, I ever saw a middle age Indian national in slippers, shorts and tshirt walk into the branch and all my colleagues ignored him. But I approached to help cos he looked like he’s looking for someone or something. I was just gng to help press a queue number for him.

Lucky me, he turned out to be the CEO of a tech mnc based in sg, and wanted to repay his mortgage in full. After I helped him with his paperwork, he became my client and followed me through all my bank hopping.

its a habit since young i think

last time when young i accidentally tore up a $1 bill to pieces when i was first day in pri one...
cos got a paper with my house phone number, mother told me to memorize, dont let anyone see, tear up and throwaway
okay, dont let anyone see, so i tear up in my pocket... take out... alamak its the $1 for lunch!!!
lunchtime, the prefects helping the new students to order food at the stalls, the prefect wanted to guide me but i young and paiseh, no money, no xp with this, so malu and run away
then the hunger... starvation hunger... so young felt so weak... i think thats why all my life i so skinny, i think that event triggered some chronic autophagy
