Kettle vs Pot.; Thursday, February 07, 2008

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eYuIg7Tnc7g&eurl=

I believe many people have already watched this video regarding Taiwan celebrities criticizing Singaporean English. Selina is one of them too! *shocked*

My first reaction when I saw this video was, WOOHOO! Then, I proceed in reading the comments below, and it went like this:

"of course, u are no taiwanese. they don't even understand wad the hell, we are writing here"

"i'm neither taiwanese or singaporean but I am American but these guys criticising the singaporean's english is just str8 wrong. They are generalize everybody and saying all of Singapora's english is "weird" they need to seriously think before they speak because look who's talking there english is just as "weird" as any other country where english isn't the main langauge.
They are really stupid for saying something like that."

" these taiwanese consist of ass brains"

"yeah right. don't mean to ridicule?! u must be kidding..they r downright MOCKING at our pronunciation when they themselves can't even string proper sentences together. i'm really disgusted at that "hurry up" part especially because NO singaporean in the right mind pronounces it in that disgusting manner that the woman pronounced it in!!!"

"I mean like c'mon, 台湾人的英文也好不到那里去."



And it goes on and on. Then, I went to google the title, things like that came out.

Alright, time for my comment.

THOSE ASSHOLES ON TV, IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT TO SEE? Their English standard are so incomparable to ours please. Dance dance dance, dance ke dua lan ar, dance. NEVER DIG YOUR EAR IS IT? ALL EARWAX CLOGGED UP HAR? ASK MUMMY DIG FOR YOU.

I'm not trying to say that Singaporeans' English(including mine, duh) are perfect, but it's extremely rude of them to discriminate our standard of English like this, as if their country SPEAKS FLAWLESS ENGLISH.


A very good example, Jacky Wu. You know I know lah hor. Another one, 5566. Although I WAS a fan of them, but really, their English sucks. i.e. the song Open Arms by them, LISTEN TO HOW THEY SING, YOU CAN CRY YOU KNOW!

And that pregnant thing. That lady ar, have no life at all. SHE SPEAKS IN MONOTONE ALL THE TIME, EVEN WHEN SHE'S ASKING A GOD DAMNED QUESTION. Like please lor, won't your tone goes up at the end when you're asking a question?


I'm going to end abruptly here, but before I end, I have one last thing to say.

Look at your God damned English FIRST, before criticizing us Singaporeans.

Right, Selinaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa?
