Just the other night, I was talking to an Angmoh, who was dining with his 2 sweet & cuddly little daughters. We chatted casually and then he asked me, "Are you from Singapore?"
I was stunned for a brief moment.
He continued, "Well your Engrish is like Singlish."
I replied, "Yesh I am. Why you have really good observation skills."
He said, "Well my wife used to work there for 8 years. Singlish is different from Manglish. It sounds more England (English)."
LESSON LEARNT:
The reasons why I admitted to being a Singaporean:
- Singaporeans = high class.
- Their money is bigger.
- MRT is longer and more efficient than our LRT.
- Their gahmen don't discriminate against Chinese.
- Their passport last 10 years.
- Their gahmen don't simply give suprise. (Like sudden 0.78 petrol increase)
- Can visit Israel.
- Singaporean guy = more engtao. (So if "I = Singaporean guy" & "Singaporean guy = more engtao", then "I = more engtao")
The only thing I bueh tahan about Singapore is everything's so straight and orderly. (and hard to find pirated dvd)
Should I get a Singapore passport?
