Indeed! Singlish is unique to Singaporean. When I am in HCMC, if any chinese starts speaking English, I will be able to tell that he is a Singaporean immediately.

So to learn this is going to be tough as it's part of growing up in Singapore lah. There are many many unique words that is Singlish.. Kiasu, Kiasi, Kanna Sai, Pai seh, leh, loh, lah, Kopi C, Kopi O, Kopi Siew Tai... just ordering different type of coffee or tea in Singlish will set your brain spinning ! There are some dictionary in the web but it takes practice to speak "fluent" Singlish !

if you want to blend in and kanna stuck with any phrase, ping me lah!

I am learning Vietnamese? wanna exchange? going to HCMC 28 - 5 May!
