Aiyoh! Why you so like dat? You tink your England velly powderful is it? Sekali you talk like dat, the ah bengs will hantam you one time. So terro. I'll never forget a quote by Tay Ping Hui I read about the worst pick up line he ever heard. It was written: "I tink you velly hamsum" You should check out Talkingcock website, it has a Singlish dictionary which is not bad. |

it seems just like messed up english. lol That is some TRAGIC English  In any case, the English spoken in England is probably the "purest" form of it. Though British English sounds foreign to me too (only because I'm American). |
