some say this some say that

one of the things that i like about home is the language. even though the officers at the changi airport sometimes still bring out the other side of me, but when they start talking to me with the singapore accent, i feel i that i'm back to the place where i grew up.

i have to admit that the sounds of LAs LEHs and LOs along orchard road is not very pleasant, but at least it's the language only singaporeans and malaysians understand, and use. and some more ah, it's not easy to speak like that lo i tell you.

sometimes i really think that we should stop trying to speak with other accent because what we have is unique to us too. just like how amercians have their own accent and british have their irritating-but-some-say-sexy accent. ours might sound ugly to them, but it's the same way the other way round too.

and so when i come back, my way of speaking also go back to the singapore ah beng english. cant help it. my friends speak like that, not because they are ah bengs, but because we have mandrain as our first language and the ah beng way of speaking is funnier.

just the other day, i was talking to someone on msn. we havent met since we left secondary school because she stayed in singapore while i went to melbourne. and she told me this: when you're free, text me.

'text me'? isn't it... 'sms me'?
