I'm going to fast-forward from early March to mid-April, going from the DMZ to sitting in front of the TV watching the 5th straight episode of How I Met Your Mother. I love Apple TV. Have I mentioned this before? After taking a break from the uber-blogging, I'll be back soon with the day-to-day stuff. In the meantime, I'll leave you with a Singlish primer...
ANYTHING CAN: anything is possible
ANG MOH: Caucasian (literally 'red headed' in Hokkien)
AUNTIE: a respectful way to address an older lady
CAN AH: can you or can't you?
HOW CAN: how is that possible
LAH: no translation, Lah is added for emphasis
ORSO CAN: no problem
SO HOW?: and the answer is?, what is next
WAH: wow, another emphasis term or word, as in, "Wah, so cheap lah!"
