i'm hell bored right now!


like,i was super irritated that there was school today.i mean,i was so sure another freaking underground pipe would burst and then the whole school would be flooded and school would be cancelled!
unfortunately..
=[

there was school!booo.

if you haven't already noticed,like a million singaporeans struggle with saying basic words!
like,
*faithful,pronounced by many super smart(ahem) people of singapore as 'fateful'
*haunted--pronounced as hunted
*girls--grrrs.

-_-
those are only three examples.

go attend a pronunciation workshop or something!
okay,maybe it's their upbringing but heck it,listen to some grammar pronunciation tape or whatever,okay?

it is d.a.m.n. embarrassing,especially if a tourist approaches a local.imagine the convo:

cauc. tourist*approaches a local singaporean*
tourist: hello,can you tell me something about the Fullerton hotel?
s'porean: huh??that place hunted one,cannot go!
tourist: ...hunted?
s'porean: yes,yes,hunted one lor.
tourist: ...LAW?
s'porean: *feeling pissed that the tourist cannot understand his supposedly perfect english* ya-lah,ya-lah.

the singaporean then walks off,leaving the poor tourist wondering what the heck is a "ya-lah".

long post another day,adios!


p.s// 9 days to malaysia=D
