i am missing singlish so much, i don't even remember how to speak it anymore...it's so hard to let yourself go and really speak singlish unless you have someone else to speak singlish to. i'm so used to speaking proper/american english!
anw i found the singlish wiki page and it's really hilarious how it's treated as a creole with proper terms and explanations for every single lahs and lors we make, even down to the pronunciation and tones! (eg. three = tree and then = den)
anw here are some funny chinglish signs that have obviously wrong translations in english.
This misspells "Lightning" and mistranslates "climb" with "climbing".
"the slippery are very crafty"!!!! xD
this is my favourite, i wonder who they are executing...
haha for the lateral thinking puzzle in my previous post, the answer's already in the comments: the surgeon is the boy's mother! it plays on ppl's stereotypes in a way, bcos you tend to assume that grey-haired, bespectacled surgeons are male. if you're interested in more lateral thinking puzzles, check them out here
To blossom, qw & bhu: you'll find the lateral thinking puzzles we did at bhu's sleepover in there! and a whole lot of other ones too (that aren't all that nice) Enjoy! ^^
anyway, i was just telling wenyu the other day that i can rmb how to sing pass it on but i don't rmb the lyrics except the chorus. that's bcos they didn't really teach it, we only sang it like once in sec 1 at the batch initiation ceremony or something? but we sang dedication lots of times, so i rmbed it. however, for some reason, we both had mind-block just then and couldn't rmb how it starts!
after a search on google, i found the lyrics to these two songs! and now i know how to sing both of them, bcos i rmb the tunes alrd (: my favourite is still dedication haha. and i didn't realise how evangelistic pass it on really was o.O
here's to all my ex-rgs classmates, and hope it'll bring back fond memories...
Dedication
We have shared our morning days And gone through all rainy nights Even in the darkest of nights Stars still light up our way
Tomorrow is a beautiful dream A dream that will be fulfilled Cross the bridge of rainbow In search of the gold
For here we stand Our dearest friend Sincerely from our hearts we wish May streams of sunlight Shine like rays of hope Hand in hand, we'll work and strive For the best things in life
Pass it on
It only takes a spark To get a fire going And soon all those around Can warm up in it's glowing
That's How it is with God's love Once you experience it You'll want(Yes you'll want) To pass(to pass) It on (pass it on, pass it on, pass it pass it pass it on)
What a wonderous time is spring When all the treees are budding The birds begin to sing the flowers start their blooming
That's How it is with God's love Once you experience it You'll want to sing It's fresh like spring You'll want(Yes you'll want) To pass(to pass) It on (pass it on, pass it on, pass it pass it pass it on)
I wish for you my friend This happiness that I've found You can depend on Him It matters not where you're bound I'll shout it from the mountaintop (RAFFLES!) I want the world to know The lord of love has come to me And I want(Yes I want) To pass(to pass) It on (pass it on, pass it on, pass it pass it pass it on)
p.s. here's a youtube video of someone singing dedication, in case you forgot how the tune goes. i like the way she joins herself in shaking with the rattle thingy, and she shakes it with that look on her face throughout the video! hahaha super cute xD
