:: Be Good ::

I find locals who speak with accents (be it Brit, Aussie, American, whatnot etc) a big turnoff.

There's a difference between speaking good, articulate English, and speaking English tainted with phony twangs. I cringe, literally, at the latter. It makes a difference, however, if you grew up plucking oranges in those Western farms. Now, that's a whole thing altogether.

But come on, hearing some obviously-brought-up-eating-belachan-and-lor-mee-folks trying to impress (themselves?) people with their so called 'eloquence' is a no-no for me.

There's something extremely funny talking Singaporean. And its not really a bad thing.

My director, Lionel, pointed this out the other day with a simple example. We were buying a meal at Delifrance, and when we asked what was this particular bread-like thing they included in the meal, the lady at the counted said,

"Oh...well...it's like a biscuit,like that."

See? Only Singaporeans talk like this.

What drink is that?

Well..like bandung, like that.
