I can't imagine that Singapore would be any less stressful now than before. Can't really tell since all my Singaporean cousins are out of school (at least secondary school).

No. It's "Don't pray pray"...

I'm disappointed in you.

haha, I guess it depends on whether you're reading it or saying it.
Written, it would probably be "play play". But spoken, it would be "pray pray".

I've noticed that kids in secondary or jr. college can write perfect English, but when they talk, it's completely different!

Yep.

I think it's the clash between the Chinese language and English language, am I right? That's why singlish has more Chinese sounds. For example, 'talk' would have more of a 'd' sound.

I just became a mod here in this Asia forum. Woohoo.

Just kidding. It's good enough.

You should have said... 'Suai ah', or however you spell it.

I'm never really sure how to spell singlish words.
Probably 'cause I usually only hear it spoken...
