Bloody OM test is 2 days away and I definitely have the holiday mood in me now. How were the other ones? Well.. Lets just skipped that...
I came across this video in youtube about young students in America ( I suppose) are teaching their parents and friends Singlish. He taught them words like 'kiasu' 'chope' and 'shiok' just to name a few...
This boy do have the potential to be a professional Singlish interpreter and his Singlish accent was really impressive from the fact that he came from a foreign land.
Watch it. And you'll understand.
I had mixed feelings after watching this 4 minute clip. I was interested to see what was the upcoming word. It was entertaining but did it occur to you that it also seemed like a mockery to Singapore?
As a Singaporean, I like to imitate and learn the different accents from other countries too. For fun and laughter. Its the same for them, learning a new, funny yt 'don't really make sense' language as a topic to talk about. Should I be proud of it?
I am not a 100% patriotic Singaporean who would DIE for my country. No. Please, the thought of studying and migrating to other country is constantly floating in my head...
As for the videos, if you type 'Singlish' in youtube, you can get approximately 156 videos. Some are pure bull-shits, some are entertaining while some are deemed as mockery.
Should Singaporeans be proud of what people all over the world are talking about? Do we need to resort to a unrecognised language to be the topic of a conversation?
Remember how the Taiwan celebrities mocked at Singaporeans and our way of speaking? Though the atmosphere is different, it still boils down to whether Sigaporeans calls Singlish as an advantage than a disadvantage.
