Re: Any bros here cheong in this manner???
 

Used to have a friend(married) who is like this. Salary $1.5k, cheong ktv PRC everyweek once or twice. Not enough, borrow from friends. Like that more jiak lak. One day, owe too much liao, cry baby, request friends for help. End up divorce...then marry ktv PRC:confused:. Now drive taxi.
As for myself, once a blue moon.

Re: Any bros here cheong in this manner???
 

does he still chiong after marry ktv PRC? or all $ spent on her liao no more 4 chiong?:D

Re: Any bros here cheong in this manner???
 

no offence to d SAF Regulars, but when i was an NSF, i knw of many young regulars who go chiong KTV every weekend, sometimes weekdays. most of these young punks r loaded, or rather they feel so loaded cos they r in their 1st contract, earning good $$$ n no family commitment. so much of their mthly income they juz splurge on entertainment.

I know a group of drinking kaki who cheong every single day including Sunday..I reckon they spend almost 75% of their salary in HFJ. Its their livestyle and it's sad though, they dont seems to have a life at all. Did try to talk some sense with a few of them but to no avail.

They are what we called:

Re: Any bros here cheong in this manner???
 

I know one uncle at my clubhouse. He always comes to hang around and once in a blue moon he hits the jackpot room. So having met him a couple of times, we started to exchange conversations. He is a married man with 2 kids. He had a good education but wasted his future when he committed something illegal and was sent to jail for 2 years. After getting out of jail, he was unable to find a proper job so he took to driving a taxi.

He visits geylang and its WLs every single night that he drives! According to what he told me .. He will drive for about 2 hours and then he stops over at geylang and hook up with one WL and then do the deed and then after doing the deed, he will go back to driving his cab. He told me that one day he earns only about $30 to $40 (after minusing off his taxi rental for half a day as well as damage for WL) because of his habit and he is the sole bread winner. Wah si beh jialat I tell you. At that point of time, I thought that he was bullshitting until one day when I was at geylang, I saw him being hussled around by 2 PRC meimeis and he saw me and appeared to be very paiseh. As I am still in contact with him, I've been trying to persuade him to kick this addictive habit of his or at the very least, cut down on the numerous visits to geylang but it seems that he is unable to control his urges because every now and then, he still calls me up begging for me to loan him a couple of hundred bucks so that his kids can go to school with some pocket money.

Any brothers have some advice on how to help him? I really like this uncle, he is a fatherly figure to me, very friendly and is a sociable person. Cheers!

Re: Any bros here cheong in this manner???
 

Hahaha:) You are half right. Now cannot cheong...cos everyday, PRC take all his earnings and give him some allowance. Very chiam. Actually before PRC, got good beautiful, sexy and capable wife. I see his ex-wife also cannot tahan. She was the bread winner with a few K income per month. However, she is very stern and a little nagging and monitor my friend's movement (cannot blame, cos he everytime try to cheong). So, he cannot tahan. Come to think of it, he isn't any better now.....in fact, I think worse.

Surely to no avail as you mentioned, "Its their lifestyle". I just have to say that, as long as don't borrow money or overspend until neglect family, then by all means enjoy ourselves.

Re: Any bros here cheong in this manner???
 

I know of someone who spend more than he earn. Taking advance cash from credit card and using his card to clear bill. At time can not really understand his point of doing. Long term he will suffer.

Re: Any bros here cheong in this manner???
 

Well, seems like quite jiak lak...but "old habits die hard". As u address him as "uncle", he must be quite senior in age. Only his love for the family can help him. Which means, he must wake up and realize himself that his kids, wife is more important. Then like trying to quit smoking. From 20 sticks to 10, then to 5 etc. So, from every single night, to 3 times per week to once etc. Not asking him to stop. Cannot one...but reduce periodically. Good luck to him.

Re: Any bros here cheong in this manner???
 

Put it this way. If he is responsible and does think of the consequence, he should have reduce or stop gradually. He is not the one suffering but his kids. Advice him to turn his attention to his kids and he will kick off this habit somehow down the road.

Re: Any bros here cheong in this manner???
 

Tat way of cheonging is asking for trouble lah... scrimp on food later where got energy to cheong.

Always buffer for investment, savings and pro-tect the future before marking out the amount you wish to spend.

:p

Re: Any bros here cheong in this manner???
 

to some extend i agree with you. but most of these instances i would see during my times when i was still playing in mirc. have the "friend" who is SPF regular. basic ard 3k+, got car. go out with him, he always wanna be the "big bro" can pay for alot.
but in the back always lend money from us, citing need to pay installements for car, gf tummy big etc etc etc.
still remember me and my grp of friends have to go to him house and get money he owes us.



ever talk to him about it? sometimes reality has to bite him before he can wake up.


another of my irc friend declare bankrupt over 20k cc bill due to this as well.

Re: Any bros here cheong in this manner???
 

i earn 3k permonth. i spend 3k to cheong.cos i am living on credit. :)

Re: Any bros here cheong in this manner???
 

Anything taken in access become an obsession and when that happens it is very difficult to pull back. So moderation is the answer. But then it is easier said than done.

Re: Any bros here cheong in this manner???
 

When you get older, cheonging naturally wanes...
