Sorry for this you don have a choice... you only get to say ppl ahbeng or ahlian. So if ppl say you one of them than it just sticks to you la... and you cannot undo it until they stop labeling you as ahbeng or lian. Its not about attitude... its more to your lifestyle... :D Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ender Hypersonic February 9, 2010 Share February 9, 2010 Ah Beng has misplace pride. For unexplain reason, they say you don't give them face, still can't figure what are the things they consider as don't give them face.. They also have a thing for staring. One glance into their eyes they accuse you of staring, Siong simi LC, and proceed to pick a fight. When they run out of reasons or lose an argument, they'll go , An Chua, an chua, an chua.. loosely translate to 'What? What? what?', and proceed to pick a fight.
