The Chinese Sensibility
What do you believe when you don't believe in God? $$$?!
After a few chats with people around, I felt like coming out of a vacuum. My AIESEC idiologies should go into a vacuum machine. Like what Brodie once mentioned, we often take off our superman role after AIESEC. What if I don't want to?
It seems that a person like me (graduating from a good major from a good university and worked for 2 years) should be earning around EUR 2000/month. (I obviously earn much less as an AI member though living in more expensive place.) I was told that my cousin just got married. What's more important is that she lives in Singapore now and her husband earns EUR 5000/month. (How is her husband as a person instead of a money making machine?) Same with how another cousin's boyfriend was introduced to me, he earns xxx a month. Good to know! ;-) There is a Chinese terminology 'a high potential stock' for a guy who will be able to earn heaps sooner or later. And the society still doesn't believe that women can earn money as well?!
I am a bit confused: so this is only a syndrome in this materialistic city or it is universally the same just I was too carried away by AIESEC? Hopefully, I will be a poor AIESEC trainee dating a even more ghetto @er but having a lot of fun! ;-)

Hahaha India and Singapore too...most places...I guess...
Which is reason 321 why Chinese ladies should stay away from me... "no potential" stock. ;)
I guess they're all valid reasons for living your life. A now-former team mate finds absolutely no problems with not challenging the way things work in her "boring company" and that is her choice.
You should only live the life you want to live - other people will continue to do what they've always done. :)
That EUR2000/month salary is a lie, at least in China.
Thank $$$ beer is still cheap.
Fang, if you intend to be my sugar mama you damn better be making DOUBLE the 2k Euro/month threshold... yes IN CHINA!
No money, no honey. :)
Jenny, stick with no honey with lots'o money :-)
Thanks Bu! You read my mind. Actually how about lots'o money AND a young and pretty honey?
Dear Devrim, read again what you wrote here and you'll figure out the reason 322 why you are single... wait, STILL single at this AGE. Now go finish your Chinese homework.
You guys have started a war on my blog.
Devrim, stop your justification of being single - you are just old and unattractive. ;-)
Cheers for that!
they're all idiots let's go open a restaurant in puerto rico
