*shoots you* First you challenge me with a horrible prompt I'm currently trying to pretend doesn't exist. NOW YOU WANT ME TO WRITE SOMETHING IN SINGLISH??! *facepalm** facefault**headdesk* KAHAAHAH. But, yanno, come to think of it, I might actually be able to do that. Maybe. MAYBE.
...WHY DO YOU KEEP CONVINCING ME TO DO THESE THINGS?!
Ah, yes, haha! I'm actually not too used to speaking Singlish, like I said. So, yeah, I usually don't really come off too stiff if I'm speaking all proper, but then again, I don't HAVE an American/Aussie/Brit accent. So, any English would sound a little forced. (You should hear my Mandarin. Probably makes my ancestors turn in their graves... or try to strike me down from heaven.) D: You should've asked her to speak in all her Singlish glory. I'll be the first to say that your ears might bleed and probably try to abandon you if you're a sucker for grammar or a language elitist. Man, I love my country sometimes. It's, like, a rojak of cultures XD
So, Squishy-poo-darling-wobbie-pie-across-the-pacific, I MISS YOU SO, BUT I HATE OUR EMAILS. THEY BE TOO LONG, MATEY. It will take... a while for me to reply. I'm not going to try to be ambitious or anything. XD
OOH OOH! YOU KNOW THAT SONG! X) Did you happen to watch Rent too? :D That show made me weep like a baby. D: AND STOP CONVERTING ALL THE HOURS FOR ME >.< Seeing numbers makes my brain rebel. Unlike you, I don't manage my own finances or do fancy things with numbers at work X3
Oh ho! I should have read this response before replying to the other. XD;;;;;;
So what IS your accent? XD If you don't speak Singlish all that much and you don't have any other English-language-related accent but your Mandarin is awful as well... how DO you speak? O_o
I did ask her to speak in Singlish. XD And she'd give me sentences, but generally, she'd be like, "What am I supposed to say lah?" XD;;;
XD;;;;; It's understandable. Our e-mails are INSANELY LONG OMG. T_T Feel free to chop them down a bit if need be. =D
Of course I've watched RENT! O_o; The movie, anyway. XD Given the chance, I'd go watch the actual musical... maybe. I don't know, Maureen makes my heard bleed a little. It twists and writhes in pain, whimpering and pleading with me to make the pain end. ^^; But I love Mark and Mimi and Joanne. XD
O_O HEE HEE. Ehhhhh.... I don't know lah, maybe if I try, like, hard enough, I can sound damn local one lor. Just see how see how only. Like, see who I talk to liddat. *writer inside dies*
SEE. I can do it. And seriously speaking? I can switch accents. But a lot of people I know always think I've studied abroad, because apparently, I don't sound all that local- which confuses me and pisses me off, maybe I should try harder >( - but perhaps it was because of the company I keep (half of them abandoned me to go overseas. Suckers.)?
Maureen makes me both cringe and laugh whenever she's on-screen. I LOVE ANGEL OMG -hugs hir- But she made me cry the most T^T And Joanne kicks ass, hahah!
XD;;;;;;;;;;;;; That made me happy. Although I do love to hear Singlish more than see it, but reading it is so fun! XD Just trying to make out what I can or can't or maybe-maybe-not understand... ^o^v
O_o But even if your company fled abroad, that doesn't mean that your accent would die when still living at home... O_o; But dude. XD So cool! XD I'm bad at accents. I'm apparently really good at imitating my good friends and family, but it's the way they speak and the things they say, not their actual accents or voices. T.T;
Angel was so adorable! ToT HOW COULD I FORGET ABOUT ANGEL?! "Today 4 u, tomorrow 4 me!" ♥♥♥
Ahahah! I don't mean it that way. I meant like, when my close friends come back from abroad, I spend a lot of time with them and sometimes, their accents affect me :/ HEE... But I'm also pretty conscious of the way I speak because I write, and Singlish destroys that quite firmly D: It's just a way of speaking that spits in any self-respecting Englishman's face XD That's way it's so incredibly awesome, ahahh! Our government doesn't seem too fond of it though :X Their all like "SPEAK GOOD ENGLISH CAMPAIGN" and "SPEAK PROPER MANDARIN CAMPAIGN" and all the youngsters in our generation are all like "SHADDUP LARH GAARMEN (government)".
>.< Don't you love my country's culture? We've got so many crazy idiosyncrasies. It's first class entertainment for people like me who don't give a shit.
ANGEL REALLY IS LOVE. I KNEW IT. YOU FORGET HIR. *SMACKS YOU*
LOL~ XD;;; Okay, okay, that makes more sense. ^_^ Here, we go in the opposite direction and linguistics is like, "celebrate ebonics as its own dialect yo, preserve it!" and everyone else is like, "shaddup u >_>". *sigh*
I don't know much about your country's culture~ T.T; Honestly. XD Although someday I WILL go visit Singapore!!! Do you listen to Mr. Brown? My Singaporean friend crazy in love with it. XD
T.T; HOW DARE I FORGET HIR?! I deserve da smackdown. *dies* T.T
Mr Brown? Dyamn... sounds familiar. AHAH. But I'm not a radio/mainstream kind of person. THE RADIO IS TOO FAR AWAY AND MY ARMS ARE TOO SHORT!
WHEN YOU COME OVER, DO STAY OVER, OR I WILL NEBAR FORGIB YOU XD I will personally bring you around if I can and totally spoil you. (So next time, if I ever visit... where ever you are, I can leech off you too! Oh my god I don't remember where you stay D:)
Many people are arguing that Singapore has nay shred of culture. I neg to differ. We're an entire SOCIETY of LANGUAGE BLUDGEONERS, COMPULSIVE PERFECTIONISTS and GOVERNMENT HATERS. Also, the food be awesome.
SEE. We DO have a goddamn culture! Take that, sodding critics!
We should discuss Rent sometime. It's an unbelievably awesome musical. I can't believe it took me such a long time to watch it. And Joanne's voice is shit amazing O_o
LOL. XD I stay in Oregon! ^o^ West coast~ ^_^ Although I dunno where here can go, since everything is so SPACED OUT that we need a CAR for ANYTHING. DDD: BUT! I can take you to some places~ ^o^ Would your folks even be okay with that? O_o A stranger from abroad coming to visit? XD
Huey does love the food there. ^o^ And I wanna have chili padi! And and and... gahmen-haters? XD Why? Are there many? I know Huey is actually quite supportive of Singapore...
^___^ When did you watch it?? I only saw it what, two years ago? T.T
HAAH. Oh, I think I know who it is already. I must have watched it, maybe accidentally.
YES. Parents will be quite fine with it. JUST SAY YOU'RE A PEN PAL! :D And you can totally stay! And I can bring you to all sorts of awesome food places to fatten you up. It'll be so fun XD
Oh god. You can eat chilli padi?! D:< My tongue gets really unhappy with me if I try. And so does my stomach, because I get bloated from al that emergency water I guzzle down.
WE BE GAHMEN... well, not so much haters, more like... "disgruntled citizens who just like to complain but won't get off their asses long enough to do anything about it". Yeaaah. We're WAY proactive. >(
I ONLY WATCHED RENT A MONTH AGO. I'MMA LOSER DX
I have realised you've given up on user pics. lols!
I've never had chili padi!! I wanna try it, 'cause I can eat anything spicy. XD I've only once had a spicy food that made me wanna die, because it got caught in my throat and burned. D:
LOL! XD;;;;;;;; I see. XD
^^ It's okay! I was like, 20 when I finally saw it. DDD: SO THERE.
Well, I had a paid account and a hundred userpics, but then it expired. T.T; So my userpics are sad. And it's just, I have no default set up. XD So when I reply via e-mail instead of via LJ, I can't pick a pic.
