  • I'm a Japanese living in Singapore, married to a Chinese Singaporean. Today I asked my wife sensitive (?) questions. What was her first impression? What's something she likes and don't like about me? Lots of paiseh moments but hope you enjoyed this video. Appreciate it if you can give this video a big thumbs up.
    Instant rice introduced in this video (Kin No Ibuki, Hitomebore, Noukyo Gohan) now available at Isetan Scotts, IROHA Mart Plaza Singapura, Every Potong Pasir and online website WAKEARI and Meatlovers.

    Someone in US did a study before where they asked ladies what are the things that woman find attractive in men and that they are more likely to give their mobile number to the men on their first meeting. The women picked : good sense of humour, able to cook and knows how to play musical instruments . Looks like Ghib got all 3.

      Are you able to cite that study? I've only read about sense of humour, height and wealth being the most important factors. Besides, asking for someone's phone number takes less than a minute. Not sure how it's possible to cramp so much information within that short span of time.

      Instant rice is not available in Singapore yet unfortunately. Will update the description box when the rice is available!

    I have to say , one thing I don’t like about Singapore is the peer pressure to contribute money for obligatory stuff like colleagues’ birthdays, their grandparents’ funeral etc even though you don’t feel like you know the colleague well. In Australia, it’s more casual, you can contribute any amount if you want to or just write a simple card etc.
    I also have to say my first impression of Japanese men is that they are very chauvinistic and expect the women to serve and bring their slippers when they come home from work. And Japanese men comes home from work only when its really late

      Huh? In Singapore, you can also contribute any amount you want. Maybe you just worked in the wrong company.

      That is entirely dependant on your work environment's culture. It certainly does not happen in my work place. We discretely pass an unmarked envelop around, so no one will know how much others contributed, if at all.
