I have to say that it has been a while since I spoke to the everyday man or woman on the street type Singaporean.
I have been so used to speaking to PRC's who speak fluent Mandarin and Hongkies who speak fluent Cantonese.
Today I encountered a sinkie at work! She cannot speak proper Engrish. But her Mandarin is peppered with Engrish words like "and then", "hor", but then", "something"
Man......it is so horrible to not be able to speak fluently in at least ONE language.
tsk tsk tsk...
