feeling a little tired today... even though i slept quite a lot... lols... such a pig right? have been having minor flu and cough recently... my eyes seems more sensitive recently too, irritating me a bit... guess i have got to go visit the doctor soon... bleh...

have been working for these few months... wondering why i work? i want to buy things [shopping] and do a little savings... and of course, for some work experience too... lols... sometimes, overspend a bit too... so got to work... i may be changing my job... or rather, i have changed my job... starting the new job next month... trying out... if i am not comfortable with it, i think i will come back to my current job now... oh well...

time is never enough, it is how people make time for things so that time would be enough... oh well... no one can read any one's mind totally... if a person do not say, others do not know... sometimes, people do or say things un-intentionally... found out something that was rather interesting... take a look... :)

= Why Singlish is better? = [Compare and see!]

When going shopping...
Britons: I'm sorry, Sir, but we don't seem to have the sweater you want in your size, but if you give me a moment, I can call the other outlets for you.
S'poreans: No Stock!

When someone is in the way...
Britons : Excuse me, I'd like to get by. Would you please make way?
S'poreans: Siam lai! or Siam, hor! or Skius!

When someone offers to pay...
Britons : Hey, put your wallet away, this drink is on me.
S'poreans: no need lah

When asking for permission...
Britons : Excuse me, but do you think it would be possible for me to enter through this door?
S'poreans: (while pointing at door) Can pass or Not?

When asking to be excused...
Britons : If you would excuse me for a moment, I have to go to the gents/ladies. Please carry on without me, it would only take a moment.
S'poreans: Go toilet. Buay tahan ahh.....

When entertaining...
Britons : Please make yourself right at home.
S'poreans: Don't shy shy lah..

When doubting someone...
Britons : I don't recall you giving me the money.
S'poreans: Got meh?

When deciding on a plan of action...
Britons : What do you propose we do now that the movie's sold out & all the restaurants are closed?
S'poreans: So how?

When disagreeing on a topic of discussion...
Britons : Err. Tom, I have to stop you there. I understand where you're coming from, but I really have to disagree with what you said about the policy.
S'poreans: Talk cock lah you!

When asking someone to lower their voice...
Britons : Excuse me, but could you please lower your voice, I'm trying to concentrate over here.
S'poreans: Eh, Tiam leh!

When asking someone if he/she knows you...
Britons : Excuse me, but I noticed you staring at me for some time.
Do I know you?
S'poreans: See what see?!
