My ah beng best friend, 15ish go inside boys home cos he slapped our teacher. 20ish go inside Changi cos rioting, come out from Changi with only 'N' levels n nothing else.
My classmate his super lian gf tio pregnant. He finally wake up his idea, "golden bowl wash hand" n turned over new leaf. Started off selling SIM cards at Geylang rain or shine n many slaving years later, he now co-owner of several ah beng HP tiam and hawker stalls.
He got Rolex, Pam, FM, AP, PP, G-shock until I lost track. His daily commute car is C-class coupe and a Alphard as his family car, owned 2 properties. I go lim kopi with him at KPT, he knn wear until like go wet market buy fish but come out his Royal Oak.
I degree holder, wear nice shirt n pant, nice office environment, surrounded with wear tight fit OLs, everyday must action many many, talk chim chim ang mo and write chim chim emails but standing beside my ah beng frd, I felt inferior.
He also earn his money like everyone else, through blood and sweat. So what's wrong with ah beng having a Rolex? No matter who you are, as long you work your ***** ass off, you deserve the finer things of life.
