褒?贬?

今天上课做了一个小小的presentation,说的是尽量标准而且没有啦啦咯咯的英文。跟我同组的新加坡人说我的英文说的很新加坡式。在我跟她说我是大马人之后,她给我一种:对吧,你看,所以你的英文很新加坡咯...

Excuse me,请问这是称赞我还是贬低我? 如果Singapore english = Singlish,酱应该不是称赞咯...

据说大马人常常因为说话的调调被新加坡人认为是新加坡人。我想说:Kawan di negara kecil selatan Malaysia, saya orang Malaysia. I don't speak English with Singapore accent.

proud of being Malaysian. but it doesn't mean that i agree with the Malaysia government.

I am not Singaporean, but I really think that their government is better than Malaysia's.

你应该用phuachukang的英文回答他:Dun play play,i'm malaysian ok...

还是其实这那个新加坡人要跟你搭讪,所以随便开口罢了?

I reckon good Malaysian English is very alike to Singaporeans.

However, difference does exist and could only detected by trained ears. =p

A Malaysian girl I just met was surprised when I said I'm Malaysian. Again, I am NOT from Hong Kong or neither am I Indonesian.

No offence but I despise people that adds LAH and MAH intentionally just to emphasize that they are Malaysian.. or Singaporean. They may think it's funny but I think it's silly an it's utter nonesense.

I speak with lahs and mahs but not intentionally... haha

Oh well, as long as you speak English that is understandable, who cares what others think. English is an international language thus you should be proud that the English you are speaking is neither Malaysian, Singaporean, Australian nor.. Muar?, you speak an international language.

I do too.

Any plans for tomorrow?

陌生人:我当时只觉得脸上三条线,没有想太多...

小妮子:哈哈,可能咯...

jam:不是每个新加坡人都那么kiasu吧?

erinwho:How come ppl say you're from HK or Indo?You don't look like indonesian at all!Hahaha...

erinwho? said...

Haha, not all Singaporeans are kiasu AND kiasi but the percentage is higher.

Exactly... but Indon chinese looks just like us. Plus, it's not only one or twice, definitely more than that. The funniest one is a random person asking that on the QV lift.

Erin:I think because there're alot of Indonesians staying in QV,that's why ppl think you're one of them...
