Living in Singapore for the last two years has really got me liking the cute Singaporean people and their 'sininglish' with all the "lah's" and "can can" and "can or not" which actually is supposed to be cannot!
Another favourite Singaporean phrase is "why you so like dat"!
I came across some English-Chinese translations recently.
Enjoy ................Cute ahah?!
If you read the chinese bit slowly, very slowly, some sound very similar to english.
