Understanding Vietnamese Life Partner

[KangTuo]

yesterday while driving, I hear my bx pressured a vb to pay up money for air ticket.. very hiong

This vb suppose to come back sillypore with my bx but because her regular guy (boyfriend?) wanted to to visit her in vn, she changed her air tix to later date. She promised that she will return my bx the money when the guy visit her as he will give her money. In fact, i heard that this guy visit her every month.

When the guy returned, my bx called this vb to ask for money. The vb replied is that the guy just give vnd $3 mil (less than S$200) and a iphone3. So not enough money to pay back. My bx scolded her and pressured her to sell the iphone3.

My bx comment to me:
1) this guy no money yet visit the vb monthly for what? Mind as well save the air tix money and give the vb.
2) this guy no give alot money (only give when visit the vb) yet do not allow the vb to work even in vn, people don need money to spend wan ha?

My thought was...
yah.. this vb got to count herself lucky that there is a guy to feed her some money. She is the ugliest amount the circle of vb.... and this guy got to go see eye specialist

7.30am start work
11.15am disappear for lunch
1.30pm return to work
5pm order noodle to eat
5 30pm go home

in between got take 15 minute break

hahha, tell me about that. its their working attitude there and it really makes you want to vomit blood. I remember i talked to a Singapore construction company manager in HCM, he told me , for the same type of work, VN needs double to triple the time to finish the project. For example, building a similiar building in Singapore may just need 3 years, but in VN, they will need 6 to 8 years to complete.

When i went back with my wife to her province, i observe how her BIL (construction supervisor) comes to work with his workers. Starts work at 9am, but takes 30 mins break for tea first. work until 1130am, go for lunch. Come back at 2pm, work till 330, tea break again. then 450pm, stop work. With this type of working attitude, how to get the work done? For my office, my staff comes in for work at 830am, off for lunch at 12 noon till 130pm. Then work until 5pm. considered very good roi. My first office in HCM many years ago, i remember they come to work at 9am, off for lunch at 1130am till 130pm, then off work at 5pm. Very good life.

I'm in construction, my Indian workers work very hard because I give them rewards. If they finish work on time, I'll write 2 more hrs O.T. In VN I guess there is no motivation and incentive, so what is the use of working hard ??

is different bro,those indian come to our shore is to earn more to send back to feed their family or repay debts but for vietnamese,they are in their own country.they only care about short term gain and not long term gain.

reputation for them sometime is not through hard work or good job but through
connection to get business.for them,urgency or reputation will not be on their mind.

take for example,my wife went to a nearby shop to buy toliet bowl,basin and water tap to install.she choose the product and as she will not be there,she pass the money to her mum to pass to the contractor once the job is done.

few months later,she went back and saw 1 toliet bowl is the same type she choose but the other 2 was of lousy quality.she went back to the shop but the shop change hand already.the owner disappear

is true their pay is small so they rather dont work and sit on their motorbike to wait for customer.guess what,those workers who build the 2 sided wall use? a white string to see whether the wall is even from the ground or not,i dont know want to laugh or cry

they dont care about how good is the end result but just to get money and fuck off,not even finish and dare to get money,my wife say no

Court documents stated the three men had conspired with Seng Swee Meng and his Vietnamese wife Ngo Tien and obtained money ranging from S$100 to S$120.

This was said to be for the consideration of sexual services of the underage girls and they have thereby abetted the offences of the six men.

Seng faces multiple charges of harbouring 30 hostesses and prostitutes and also of running a brothel.

The Vietnamese girls were said to have worked at various pubs located in Joo Chiat and Geylang at the time of the offence.

Seng is expected to be sentenced on 11 April 2012.

His wife has skipped town and a warrant for her arrest has been issued.
