i go bishan

singlish is funny

singlish or singaporean english is broken english you can find in s'pore. i dont say that it is bad but what im trying to say here is that being in a place / environment for a while, you can feel that it will influence you soon or later. im not good in english grammar but im trying to keep in the track, using "proper" english :p

yesterday we were in a bus stop. there were alex, yong qiang and me. we know each other where we live. that day i told alex that i had an appointment in bishan. for alex, he can take any bus going home.

after checking out the bus direction board, i said to alex : "88 will go directly to bishan"
yong qiang to alex : "you go bishan?"
alex : "no, i go ang mo kio"
me : "yea, he go ang mo kio. i go bishan"

waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaksssss....... im killing my english. hahahahha ...

genesis 10:5 says :
"from these the maritime peoples spread out into their territories by their clans within their nations, each with its own language"
