Title__*::hahaha.. singlish.. MUST READ.. =P
hahaha.. i nearly died laughing sometimes when i communicate w my housemates here esp e taiwan guy(jason) and e korean gal(ji yong).. was toking to them and then heard of all e funny english their frenz said when they communicate in english.. *note: they are all english language centre[ELC] students-all come to learn english 1..)
tt day they wanna thank me for something i did (i forgot wat i did le..) and they suddenly say 'sex'.. then i shock.. then i ask them wat they tryig to say and they said they actually playing w me.. they have one jap classmate who pronounce thanx as 'sex'.. haha.. n this became a joke among all e ELC students.. and sometimes they wanna say thanx, they purposely say sex..
then i ask them if got any more funny ones and they said tt 1 hong kong guy pronounce 'i dun think so' as 'i dun ding dong" haha.. so i also keep using this 'i dun ding dong' now..
then they were asking me wat time izit and i told them 'eight thirty' and they heard 'eight DIRTY".. i pengz lor.. hahaha.. coz they learn english here so its e ang moh kind of english so e 'th' sound must be heard lar.. then u noe we always say singlish so din really pronounce e 'th' out and it became 'eight dirty' to them.. hahah.. din noe like tt also can.. then jason was luaghing at me say now is 'eight dirty' and when is 'eight clean'?? haha.. and it became a stupid joke for this week..
then when i speak to then i need to speak in proper english and also speak slowly.. then when i speak to e malaysian gal(kavita), i speakin singlish..(with lar, leh and lor..) then jason and ji yong look at us and gave us e blur face.. then i ask if they understand wat we were toking and they say they dun understand.. and gave a blur look.. and jason says we are speaking african language so they cant understand.. haha.. so whenever he dun understand my english, he will say 'r u speaking africa again?' pengz.. haha..
its really so nice to have all these ppl as house mates lor.. so fun!~ will really miss them after they leave.. haiz.. and although work load is heavy here but w these laughters, it helps me to relax abit too.. hehe.. tts all 4 today!~ have to go 4 drawing class now!~ cya!~ =P
