About Singlish
I just found out there is such word call “Singlish” in Wikipedia. According to Wikipedia, there are 227,000 native speakers, over 3 million as a second language (1985). And Singlish is closely related to “Manglish” neighboring to Malaysia.

Some people wondering why my blog has a lot broken English one, some people wondering why I can’t really write proper English sometimes. That was because I am one of the Singlish/Manglish speakers since I was small.

Especially when you see my blog I use quite a lot of “Lah” words. Why ah ?

Sooooo, are you proud of our Singlish/Manglish now ?!
