Article: 20 Singaporean Slangs

Even though I always try to perfect my pronunciation of my Chinese language and improving my English, never will I detest our proud Singaporean-style English, Singlish. I definitely feel more at ease when I hear people speaking them (but not shouting them!). Born, breed, grow locally, I definitely am a Singaporean, despite being mistaken many times by strangers over the years.

Reading the article (below) definitely put a smile on me, and I must thank some friend who introduce #13 to me via some meme app (or something like that) haha!
