Such a fun video! It was indeed a very good conversion about dating SG girls! Maybe the next time you can do what SG girls think about dating Japanese men! About giving money to parents it's more towards like paying back what they have done for us and also they are old and not earning anymore. So it's a form of respect and thanking for their hard work in taking care of us. We do that in Malaysia too. I wanna visit Chikuyotei soon! Food looks super delicious! 😋
Am an sg girl and can't help but agree to most of the points; straightforward (and abit nit-picky), family oriented, like to do things together as couple. However, think the point about showing on social media might be more of Gen Z, mainly is want to announce the relationship (same with bringing bf/gf to family gatherings). The giving of allowance to parents when we start working is a gesture to show filial piety especially since we had lived off our parents for 10-20 years of our lives or have paid for school fees etc. Some parents are quite kind and save this money and give back to their children when they need money for house or having kids etc. (Sadly) On the other hand, there are also parents who treat children as investments that will provide for them when they are old.
Most Asians do not treat their children as investment. They only ask their kids to provide for them when they are old because they feel vulnerable and lonely. Providing and looking after your elderly parents is an honorable and moral thing to do. It is being grateful for their love and care all these years, then showing them your love and appreciation. Expecting them to be independent and fend for themselves are what some Westerners think (less so for South Western Europeans) which most Gen Z are heavily influenced by now. You don't understand it now but maybe you will when you get to their age i.e. when you are old, jobless, vulnerable and sickly. As a person age, one usually desire to connect more with their indigenous culture and values, thus have a greater understanding of why those values come about. Young people however, are more influenced by the current dominant foreign culture because they tend to seek out new and different things which they find more interesting and exciting.
This video really made me laugh! Must admit that there is truth in what was commented. There is usually a 'boss' in the family dynamics. Show of appreciation and humility to apologise helps in relationships. Token to parents is a gesture of filial piety as they age. Any amount that family is comfortable with.
Not bad is a compliment because it comes from the way Hokkien people compliment someone else's abilities or work which is "Boey pai leh!" The intonation accentuates the degree of appreciation.
Funny video 😂 Kimono Mom is coming to Singapore this May and they're looking for someone to help with their tour. I'll be absolutely delighted if there's a collaboration video seeing Kimono Mom and her family enjoying Singapore food and culture ❤
@@RonLarhz whats wrong with being a good wife? can you stop being judgmental to what others want to do, so uninclusive and unaccepting to lifestyle choices of others
Hahaha, I laughed out loud when you said 'fruitful conversation' at the end while eating fruit. How apt. I think my Japanese husband would agree to most of what you guys mentioned. But we've managed to adapt and balance things out over time so he has his own space and time, while I have mine and we also have family time together. And no la, I don't treat him as a 'dog' and he would never allow me to also.
Ghib, this is damn funny! Pls film a follow up version with your wife (and other SG girls) to talk about reality of dating or marrying a Japanese guy. Then only fair mah!
We always give our parents every month. 😊 it’s a good Asean gesture because we also living under their house. Singapore is not a cheap place to stay. Most of the married/unmarried adults here still live with their parents. We did it also because we want to help lessen the burden of our parents by helping to pay for the house bills and groceries once we received our salaries.
a lot of the times our parents also fund our education and living expenses until we have stepped out to society to work, so I think giving parents money every month is also to show our own gratitude to the parents. This is especially important since Chinese families value filial piety. Also, my parents gave up a lot to ensure we children have a good life without worries, and they don't earn much to begin, so giving them some money during their old age also ensures that they have some savings for retirement/whatever they wish to spend on (like holidays, personal hobbies, etc.) :)
Thanks for the laughter! I do agree, most Singaporeans are welcoming and open to treating 'potential candidates' like family. Most of us are also more candid especially when we're familiar with you. Really interesting video!
BEST Video so far! Not bad means you can do better! I’m a BIG fan of your mil, that’s exactly us SG girls As mothers we train our sons to listen to mom and when they get married to listen to wife! we started to give parents of $50 each then slowly to increase to $500 monthly 😊
Not Bad = 不错 in Chinese, which if you copy that into google translate, it means good. So in SG Not Bad is a direct translate from the Chinese word, rather than the original English meaning. It's more of Singlish word.
It depends on how much the earning power. The higher u earn, give more. E.g if earn 10,000 monthly, give abt 1 - 2,000. Its a gesture to show gratitude to our parents for bringing us up n sending us to school n University. If married, also give them for looking after grandchild, cook dinners!
As a Singaporean girl, I can agree it's kinda true what they said, seeing my parents and how my dad always getting scolded by my mom and how couples around me were like that too😂😂😂😂 Singaporeans girls are like that one 😭😂
I am married to German and has been living here for 7 years. I totally agree with their comments , SG girls are independant , straight forward and we don't follow our husbands or partners. What I learnt from Germans are they rarely say Sorry even they do mistakes But my hubby started learning this culture. Feel blessed !
My husband and i watched this video together and found most of the things they said about SG girls totally relatable. We had a good laugh. ps my hubby is still undergoing training as well
Sg girls are being honest with themselves n the people around them. They are straight talker. No beating round the bush, thus builds a stronger relationship .
I give 15% of my salary to my parents even though they have money to support themselves. It is just a culture that we have to repay what they spent on us when were young.
Hey ghib, nice haircut! That reminded me of your old videos where u attempted to get a singaporean style haircut (there isnt really a definitive haircut by the way LOL), but the shops kind of botched it up. This one is pretty good! Would be nice to do a haircut video again (doesnt have to be at a barber's lol), for old times sake! 😁
The intro to friends and family part + social media is also a way to show commitment to the rs. If you're dating someone and they don't intro u to their friends and family, that's a definite red flag. Although i do agree 2 weeks is a tad too early.
Hey, Ojib. Are you aware that not only you have been living in Singapore 🇸🇬 for so long, you are picking up various Singaporean habits, mannerisms and accents as well 🤣😂😁😆
For a SG girl to bring her girlfriend to show her friends means she really like her boyfriend. On the other hand, it also means her friends could check out the guy from a neutral/third party point of view. If she brings her bf to the family she wants to let her folks know who she is dating If her mother or even grandma really likes him, they would cook special dish for him. and this gesture shows he is accepted itnto the family. All the best. Ojisan vlog always humorous :)
@MJ Lee “Means she really like her boyfriend”.. Lol.. What’s with the “like”?? Don’t mislead others. It’s all about money and status for the ladies here.
@@Callsign-Blade_RunnerSG , Be real guy, which girl wants to date a dead beat! When my son dated this girl, I wanted to hear whether she gets along with her parents and help them. If she does, that is a diamond.
@@Callsign-Blade_RunnerSG well havw u ever thought its probably bc sg girls are well educated and of course have higher expectations of finding a good guy la. As compared to girls from poor countries who just wanna marry for money anyhow marry also can hahaha. Since they mostly not as educated so lower expectations ma. Since girls mostly marry up and sg girls also earn q alot of course they looking for guys who earn more than them la..... but many sg guys feel inferior they cant catch up with sg girl or have toxic masculinity thats why criticise sg girls mah... also sg is more westernised... if u got daughter u OK to let her marry poor guy? 😅
The best video ever..... lol.. 1. No I don't post a lot to social media 2. Yes I always hit my husband 3. I will redo the house work he did if I really cannot 'tahan' the imperfection cause he will stop doing if I nag too much.
I personally give my mum 25% of my salary. It’s like what ghib’s wife says, it’s just a gesture. Most parents don’t need the money for daily expenses, they would usually take the money to save or invest and when the child has a large expense coming up like a wedding or house down payment they will give that money to them.😊 I understand that 25% is a lot, most people give a few hundred dollars but my personal view is that I’m single now and I do not have major expenses like kids or a mortgage, I don’t mind giving her more money if it makes her happier. And I know my mum is investing it wisely for me!
Interesting fact is that we do have a Maintenance of parents act here. If parents above 60 are not receiving allowance from their children in the event they are unable to work, they can go to court to legally claim their rights to get allowance from their children every month. Of course this will need to be done to prove that parents have provided to the children's welfare when they were growing up. This also means damaging the relationship between both parties..
I'm Malaysian Chinese. I think giving money to parents monthly is something to repay for the precious time and hardship they raise us. My brother took the responsibility to pay household bills and others, so I took the responsibility by sending money home. The amount depends on salary. Living in the city with 2.5K, I send RM300 home. When there's bonus, I would send more that particular month. My parent always said "Don't send money next month." Then I would thought 'what's the purpose of me working out there?'😂
Hi Ghib n Sho san,,, wahh you really sound like singaporean when you speak in english sho san,, 死んでも い 、, when u said that after a good meal, おもろかった😂🤣、とにかく、ほんとに 楽しいかた、、美味しい もの 見たら 食べたいね, nice vlog Ghib, 👍😬🍣🍺
In sg, there is a popular sayings by the old folks that goes 养儿防老. Which means raising your son as a protection for old age. And so it is expected for the kids to take care of their parents when they are old. One of the way to show their filial piety is to give some money to the parents every month. There is no fixed guidelines to say how much one should give though, just like the Angbao money you give to the young ones every chinese new year. You can say it is token of gratitude to them for raising you up. It is a form of 饮水思源, which means thinking of the source when you are drinking the water. I am rather surprised the japanese did not pick this up, as their culture is deep rooted in Confucian thinking too.
Giving money to parents I think is a Chinese thing. Japanese and westerners will find it weird. I don't directly give money to my parents but I pay ALL utility bills and taxes of the flat.
personally i think the women having bfs, husbands of a different country/culture should respect their differences, not coerce or try to argue into having their way. Though some men don't mind, i think its an invasion of privacy by coercing someone to post on social media just because they want people to know. And seriously, you don't even know how long will the relationship last. And it can be embarrassing to some folks.
this is hilarious but personally i feel both sides should consider / respect each other's culture / preferences rather than one party (in this case the japanese guy) fully giving in to the other party's (sg girl) wishes. in the end, whats most important is that the couple is happy together. as for allowance to parents, i think it's just cultural as respect and thanks to parents for taking care of them, which i do too. but it may be a burden to the child and i find it nice that japanese parents reject money from the child! In chinese culture, it has been "i raised you so you need to take care of me now that I'm old". the current generation of young parents have shifted towards being more self-sufficient so their children won't have to take on financial burden of caring for aged parents in future. It will be nice if this X & millennial generations will be the last sandwich-generation.
The problem is that ladies in sg not only want you to do the job , but also want it to do it their way.. and only their way. .. example , I got a friend who doesn’t allow the husband to buy a new TV with latest features coz it is expensive.. and force him to get a cheaper unit, saying that she doesn’t understand why the husband dont see it her way that both TVs are TV.. but she owes 50 handbags.. and more than 20 pairs of shoes.. so basically, you must follow my values when it comes to your things and my own values if it comes to my things..
the contribution to parents depends on the needs of each family. Eg, my parents do not have insurance hence I will give more for them to save up for rainy days. So yes, what your wife indicated is pretty much aligned with my contribution (S$1k/mth).
Giving money to parents...... Singaporean are not very open in expressing their emotions in words. So they express their love for their parents in monetary term. They more they give means the greater their love for the parents is.😅
reverse is true too, I was and still am, very baffled by why japanese dont disclose that they’re dating or who their current girlfriend or boyfriend is. It’s normal for them to keep everything a secret from family and even friends! I can’t imagine dating for a long time and my friends have never seen my boyfriend 🤨 why why why so secretive ?? Not like you’re doing anything bad 😂 Also, before I show my boyfriend to my family, I also want him to be vetted by my friends , I feel like that is only normal…I too, see my friends’ boyfriends 😂 our friends get our support this way.. good and bad comments are given honestly afterwards 🤓 not being secretive also means this makes it hard for players to be dating multiple girls or boys at the same time. When officially going steady, you are trying to make this person a part of your life, why would you still keep it a secret then? It’s as if you aren’t sure and so won’t include him or her in your inner circle.
Not announcing also helps you separate your emotions. Nobody will bug you about it if you break up which is a positive thing to me. You don't dwell in it and move on quickly.
I find it strange that usually when sharing food with japanese people. Usually nobody would want to finish the last piece. I asked my wife why she is its 遠えん慮りょのかたまり...
im singaporean...and it's exactly the same for me...BUT im not married to a singaporean girl...BUT one that has been for over 10 years...the culture just seeps through and they absorb it lol
His accent is so unique, I've NEVER heard such a strong mix of Japanese and Singaporean accent 👁️👄👁️
I was thinking the same!!! His Singlish is strong!!!
It seemed like he learnt English here.
As a Japanese, I don't understand his strong accent. It sounds like Singlish.
@@akihiro6635 its not fully singaporean maybe his pronunciation is more japanese
He came to Singapore for university and has been here for around 4 years. I met him in y1 and he had a much stronger Japanese accent
The most hilarious part of this is that his wife came along to listen
I think you misspelled scary
That’s why My right ear hurts
Yes man!!! This interview is damn funny but 2 weeks of dating and meeting for whole family is really fast! And I am a Singaporean Chinese !!!
Need camera woman😂
His wife will be like "Aku perhatikan aje"
His Japanese friend should do more videos with him as they are both very funny together! 2 Japanese men speaking Singlish is hilarious. 😂😂
It's so funny, unique and aborable hearing two Japanese guys speaking to each other in Singlish, hahaha!

And seriously, you don't even know how long will the relationship last. And it can be embarrassing to some folks.
Chef open clam, wa so big!
"This is e mother"
Chef slaps the mother on e board hahahahahahahha😂
Sho is japanese? Are you sure??? His singlish damn power sia 😅😅😅
this is hilarious but personally i feel both sides should consider / respect each other's culture / preferences rather than one party (in this case the japanese guy) fully giving in to the other party's (sg girl) wishes. in the end, whats most important is that the couple is happy together.
as for allowance to parents, i think it's just cultural as respect and thanks to parents for taking care of them, which i do too. but it may be a burden to the child and i find it nice that japanese parents reject money from the child! In chinese culture, it has been "i raised you so you need to take care of me now that I'm old". the current generation of young parents have shifted towards being more self-sufficient so their children won't have to take on financial burden of caring for aged parents in future. It will be nice if this X & millennial generations will be the last sandwich-generation.
The problem is that ladies in sg not only want you to do the job , but also want it to do it their way.. and only their way. .. example , I got a friend who doesn’t allow the husband to buy a new TV with latest features coz it is expensive.. and force him to get a cheaper unit, saying that she doesn’t understand why the husband dont see it her way that both TVs are TV.. but she owes 50 handbags.. and more than 20 pairs of shoes.. so basically, you must follow my values when it comes to your things and my own values if it comes to my things..
Really funny conversation
the contribution to parents depends on the needs of each family. Eg, my parents do not have insurance hence I will give more for them to save up for rainy days. So yes, what your wife indicated is pretty much aligned with my contribution (S$1k/mth).
Giving money to parents......
Singaporean are not very open in expressing their emotions in words.
So they express their love for their parents in monetary term.
They more they give means the greater their love for the parents is.😅
reverse is true too, I was and still am, very baffled by why japanese dont disclose that they’re dating or who their current girlfriend or boyfriend is.
It’s normal for them to keep everything a secret from family and even friends! I can’t imagine dating for a long time and my friends have never seen my boyfriend 🤨
why why why so secretive ?? Not like you’re doing anything bad 😂
Also, before I show my boyfriend to my family, I also want him to be vetted by my friends , I feel like that is only normal…I too, see my friends’ boyfriends 😂 our friends get our support this way.. good and bad comments are given honestly afterwards 🤓
not being secretive also means this makes it hard for players to be dating multiple girls or boys at the same time. When officially going steady, you are trying to make this person a part of your life, why would you still keep it a secret then? It’s as if you aren’t sure and so won’t include him or her in your inner circle.
Not announcing also helps you separate your emotions. Nobody will bug you about it if you break up which is a positive thing to me. You don't dwell in it and move on quickly.
Your conversation 😂😂😂...when you mentioned the price 😮😮😮
You two are so funny. You talk with a Singaporean accent too.
Sho has a little bit of singlish accent, haha.
Def not little 😂
@djjajfksoq5797 hahahahah fr
I find it strange that usually when sharing food with japanese people. Usually nobody would want to finish the last piece. I asked my wife why she is its 遠えん慮りょのかたまり...
It’s the same in SG though. It’s called paiseh piece.
He sounded just like any singaporean.I can never tell that he's Japanese.
im singaporean...and it's exactly the same for me...BUT im not married to a singaporean girl...BUT one that has been for over 10 years...the culture just seeps through and they absorb it lol
3:20 AHAHAHAHHAHAHAH THE PANICCCCC AHAHAHAHAHA😂😂😂
