I haven't been going out with friends, blogging or (appearing) online for awhile... haven't been feeling too good... a little depressed cuz of stuff that's been happening lately... but i'll be back on the scene soon... cuz the exams are OVER! SIP is coming up, but i think that will be much easier than having to mug and study... anyway my favourite Chinese/Korean singer Jang Ri In has just released her new chinese album! The best part is Han Kyung and Siwon are in it! It's the exact same cast from Timeless, just that the story spans 2 different songs... and... and... Han Kyung dies AGAIN! Can't he just have a romantic story ending??? Oh well, i think he would do well as an actor so hopefully we'll see him in a drama soon...

Part 1: I Will


Part 2: Lovers

The project rush is OVER! but i'm still giddy from it and not feeling well... anyhow, i'm looking forward to the exams cuz once they're over, the holidays are here!

Pretty reasonable grades throughout this semester... don't know about cl newswriting cuz miss chuah never released the grades, but the rest are As and Bs (except for CCC journals and i still don't know about the group projects), so i hope it will pull my sucky GPA up a notch or two...

I AM GOING TO STUDY THIS STUDY WEEK!

But i want to watch so many movies! This month's releases are awesome! Even the local productions!

Ah Long Pte Ltd
The Leap Years
Sweeney Todd (!!!)

女人经痛时 魏如萱

这种感觉虽然不像啦屎
but却让女生们痛的要死
一到这个时候
又要花钱买该死的卫生棉

恶劣的脾气就会问题连连
oh i m menstruating
oh i m menstruating
they always get me down baby
yeah~
i have a blah~blood~blah~moment
女生真痛苦,男生最可恶.
大姨妈找碴,就像在跳肚皮舞
呼呼呼~呼呼呼～
再过5天烦恼不见
后28天
哎呀我的天哎呀我的天
痛痛痛痛痛痛
这种感觉虽然不像拉屎~
我不想拉屎殴殴~
but却让女生们痛的要死..
la……la……
when we menstruating the pills will keep us alive

On the above clip:

Such atrocity! It is so wrong for them to generalize Singaporeans speaking like that. I definitely don't speak like that, nor do most people I know. Singlish is just the equivalent of Taiwanese english, so if they can't get their own information right, they have no authority whatsoever to comment in such a rude manner.

Issue 1: Accent
Everyone has his/her own accent. There is no fixed or correct accent.

Issue 2: Intonation
They must have met with the Chinese Singaporeans from the examples they brought up. So the intonation has its root in Mandarin.

Issue 3: They can't understand our English.
What? At least our English is clearer than theirs, and not limited to whatever they can make out. Blame their poor understanding of the language. I definitely can pronounce the difference between 'thanks' and 'dance'!

Issue 4: ABCs keep out.
Just because your english is learned from English-speaking countries doesn't give you a right to show off. Because it just shows how little you know about how other countries, their lingo and culture, country bumpkin!

With that settled, Singaporeans should learn how to speak more clearly. It's a bad habit to have a lazy mouth. I know there are people who pronounce 'breakfast' as 'brAckfiRst', and 'thank you' as 'tank you'. English should be spoken with an open mouth and the words will be enunciated more clearly, so that ignorant people will not think that 'thanks' is 'dance'.

Happy Chinese New Year!
