    After watching all these comparison videos I have come to the conclusion that Singlish is just a more efficient form of English, say so much more with so much less. The Americans thought they simplified the queens English, we took that to a whole new level. Zun bo?

    OMG This is new to me! I am a mandarin and Cantonese native speaker and English is my second language. It's interesting to see how Singapore people kinda mix Chinese grammar and some tones with English together. And I am not sure if I am right, I can also catch a little India accent mix with it. Just a little bit. The more I learn about Singapore the more I want to visit there!
