People seriously shouldn't stereotype that Singaporeans have bad English just because they hear the 巴刹 Aunty going "Orlin"(Orange), or the old uncles saying "Pish"(Fish). Actually the grammatical errors of Singaporeans, I do agree, is bad. But, there are many educated people in Singapore nowadays who can speak very good, perfect English, & yet, what people from other countries notice are all the negative usages of English. I don't deny I do use broken English every now & then, but I'm trying to keep up to speaking perfect English now though. "Speak Good English", spread the word.
Had tea reception with the Director today, but, no, I didn't get to talk to him either, other thn "Hi" & "Bye". Me & Angus were counting the number of year 3s in MES in 151 just now, & 9/15 of MES main comm are year 3s. MES would probably be not as fun next year anymore, with all of them gone! How very sad.
Anyway, left school at 7.25pm or so with Angus (Jasper went to meet his gf) on 151 after the briefing for Poly Xperience, was at NYGS when I had to go back. That *beep* kept saying I have got to lose weight. ROARS. Stupid dragon-boater.
So, took another 151 back to NP. It was the bus driver who always said "Thanks" & has this habit of pressing the horn every now & thn & when approaching a bus-stop.
Yes, so anyway, I climbed the hills & stairs & all, & finally made it to the MES room, alive! Timothy was there waiting for me. (spot that, LOL!) Yes, so anyways chatted with him & all from MES room, to CC toilet, to top-up EZ-Link card, to bus-stop. Its always nice talking to him, cause we're both of relatively the same kind of character. (Ohya, to confess, actually I do think I'm superior over people sometimes.) (: He owes me a date now. MUAHAHAH! =/ Ohyes, thanks to my "How to be a Gentlemen" lesson, Timothy was finally, very gentlemenly today. LOL. he opened the door, pushed the chair & all. Yes, get more lessons from me, & in no time, I believe you'll be one, whom every girl would die for. :D & when that day comes, don't forget to thank me!
Anyway, back to the story. 151 came, was queuing up to get on the bus, when, I couldn't find my wallet in my quite messy bag, I turned & saw it on the floor where I sat. Walked back to get it, I thought I would miss the bus for sure, so took my own sweet time. I was in fact still in time, so ran after the bus, hit the barrier before the bus uncle finally noticed. & it was that same "Thanks" uncle. I felt like telling him "Ya, thanks ah uncle, take so long to notice me, basket sia" =/ Ok, that so totally sounded Singaporean-ish.
Ohbtw, we rushed out a project in say.. ~1h for ECPRO today. It was a not bad presentation, considering that we did the project only on the day when we were supposed to present.
Thank God Its Friday. Its sleep in day tomorrow, YAY!
Check out this song, Chee Yan introduced it to me last night, he asked me to learn how to play it on the piano. Its totally got me addicted.
