IMO, for those university where most of the students are upper middle class chinese, basic car like proton or kancil also will get looked down upon.

Minimum standard is at least a entry level japanese car like vios or city.

I have known quite alot of people who are actually my close friends who will judge people solely based on the car that said person drives.

Yeah well, indeed he was at least three times more hardworking than me. I was addicted to gaming last time. But those tips his friend blurted out had the exact same question, only the values were changed.

I do not hate him for being more hardworking and got slightly better results than me in the end, I hated him for his kiasu-ness and being fake. It's like when I got benefit, he comes and stick to me. When I have no more benefit, he will leave and stick to others that have higher benefits. Tell you my story.

Once he asked me to go sing karaoke. One rented car, 6 people, share all expenses including petrol and singing and rent. I said ok. The day before outing, he told me cancel. I said ok, didn't suspect a thing. One week later I found out he did went out to karaoke, just that another person had replaced me. That guy was a major top scorer also. I suspected I was only invited to fill in the gap and to distribute out the expenses to more people. So disappointed in him.

Hey mate, that were only a few times I asked for his study material, if he doesn't want to give then so be it. I don't whine about not being able to get his precious cargo. The only complain I have for him is he fake and kiasu. If he doesn't want to give, just say, "Sorry, these are mine". I can understand it. We are close friends, at least don't lie to my face.

Read: He's fake, I don't like it. Not I don't like him because he didn't share his precious cargo or I cannot get benefit from him. It was an example only. If you still don't understand, it means even if he's offering free beers to me whenever we go out, I would prefer not going out with him because he is fake.
