SingapoLian
Read in this new issue of HER World regarding
SingapoLians, yup not "Singaporeans".
true, there's an "Ah Lian" in everyone one of us.
& think becos of that "ah Lian-ness" in me, that caused some miscommunication.
Close friends should had gotten used to my vexed "ah lian" tone when i am agitated or gan-cheong by turn out of events. i also write in an "ah lian " tone if it was to friends over email.
Come on leh!, if u are not in the mood, would you still talk to yr friends in this way:
Excuse me... May I.... I was wondering if..... shall we look at these possible alternatives.. I'd be glad to....
Leave all these formalities in writing businness email lah!
The "ah-lian" in me would write it as
So how? .... what to do.... why lidat... then what to do
Imagine, if u so vexed, would u still have the time to write in formal way? At workplace, i will, but to friends i dun bother.
Yah, maybe u can say i take friends for granted.
So what. Sue me lah! U
Ah Huays & Ah Bengs
:P :P :P
