My Tua Kang Friend

[Seventh Son]

I have a friend who is very tua kang. Our group of friends have already banned him few years ago. He is the kind of person with big ego, like to talk big and always like to "one up" others e.g. if you have a BMW 3 series, he'll tell you he's got a 5 series, if you have a 5 series, he'll tell you he has a 7 series. Infact, we know he's got 11 series (his legs) . Today, he called me knowing of my recent Rolex and Pam purchase, he told me he bought a AP ROO Lava. Then I jokingly asked him is it made in China? He said he paid 32K for it so dun play play. Knowing that he is bull****ting again, I hung up the phone after some short conversation as I have work to do. After I finished my work, was quite free, so decided to fool around with this moron. I sms him that he got the AP watch at a very good but unbelievable price and 99 pcs produced. He sms me that he got a good discount. I am pissed that this idiot is taking me for a fool thinking I would believe him. Not wanting this friend anymore, I sms him that I dun believe he bought the watch and unless he takes a photo of it and email to me. He still acted as if he really own the AP Lava saying it does not matter if I believe or not and will email the pics when he's free. I am waiting...

wow...what a great discount to buy AP Lava at 32k!!! can i sell a few to him too?

[Watcha]

no need to get agitated. people will know whether its true or not.

there are always real richer people. no way to compare.

like me, I m happy with the "cheaper" mass production watches.

how to compare when the GST amount is more than the Rolex many
sweat to save up for. when you are really rich you appear on magazines,
being invited to events. no need to use your own mouth.

I think the AP lava is selling for 40++k, he didnt do his homework b4 letting off his big mouth. He under-quoted and apparently didnt know it's a limited edition of 99 pcs till I "reminded him".

In chinese we say, one type of rice feed hundreds type of people. So any kind of ppl do exist in tis world, no need to be angry with it. Relax, bro.

Not angry over this small matter, just find it fasinating so decided to share in the kopi-talk section loh. And the topic is about watches only, wait till he starts yucking about cars, women, business, economy etc. Everything also he no.1. Hokkien call it "si mai tow". LOL

[Mille]

remind me of ns buddy.

we call him GPMG. general purpose machine gun because he shoots his mouth off...

hahaha...i suppose he belongs to the elite club HLC....aka Hao Lian Club....hahahahaha

[dennistwc]

just treat it as jokes whn he tell u he own 5 series, AP ROO or etc since you already know he want to be no 1 for everything… in fact those really rich ppl wnt show off in this manner!!

[breitling77]

Time will tell whether his words are real or not. Anyway, there are lots of such ppl who easily get red eye or jealous.

[Seventh Son]

Actually, there's no need to let time tell if it's true or not. I know it's not true cos this guy always lie and we give him face by not exposing him, but this time round, it's the last straw liao and we worked so hard for our money to save up to buy our "grail" watch, this guy simply own the watch verbally. Which person whom is not a watch nut would spend 40k to buy a watch. I bet he can't even pronouce Audemars Piguet

[commoner]

haha,,, i also dunno how to pronounce Audemars Piguet also. I only know how to say AP, and it will take me a long time (hopefully within next 2 years) just to part my money just to buy a basic Royal Oak.

Aiya, anyway, if he say like that, ask he to wear out for coffee and let you admire lor,,,,,

AP is heavily repped and hard to tell if gen or fake, just by looking on the wrist.
