    Should say, "Wahhhhhhhh, goreng pisang. I lau nuah liao. But I allergic leeeehhh."
    Vincent - AQ is for everyone, but not for 'u' and 'mi'.
    Why use punctuation? See what a difference it makes:
    A woman, without her man, is nothing.
    A woman: without her, man is nothing.

    yah man, the essence of Singlish.
    why I don't do garden hybrids and aquarium strains: natural species is a history of Nature, while hybrids are just the whims of Man.

    I happened to be reading a post (or rather, trying to read) the other day but realised I was having difficulty. On closer look, it's a post in SMS 'languange'! About 3 lines! It actually started me wondering if these people have to make any extra effort to type like that.

    FLORENCE, capital of the region of Tuscany, has a population of around half a million inhabitants, spreads on the banks of the Arno, between the Adriatic and the Tyrrhenian seas, almost in the middle of the Italian peninsula. It is a city which bustles with industry and craft, commerce and culture, art and science.

    Happy Camper, you're doing pretty well learning Singlish. It actually put me to shame.

    the singlish version is: "don't bluff lah."
