How To Tell If You're A Singaporean

Here's a short blog post on how to tell if you're a Singaporean! Enjoy!

1. COMPLAIN
For Singaporeans we don't need to think of anything to complain about, simply because anything can make us complain. The weather, public transport, work, school, even food! The average Singaporean complains nearly every hour and only stops when he/she goes to sleep. However scientists have been unable to determine if Singaporeans still manage to complain in their dreams (Last sentence is a joke)

2. DISCOUNTS
Who bothers to wait for Great Singapore Sale to buy stuff at a cheap price? No one! Singaporeans LURVE to shop, especially the females. And we won't go for anything too expensive, because well...we're poor. So even if something costs $200 we will manage to bargain until the shop keeper also buey tahan give us discount. Also we have this awesome ability to chiong to any shops with the signs "50% SALE ONLY FOR TODAY" or "BUY 2 GET 1 FREE!!". It's a skill that we have developed throughout the decades of staying in Singapore.

3. 4K's Kan Chiong, Kiasi, Kiasu, Kaypoh.
If any of these four seem familiar to you, then you're most probably a Singaporean. We love to chiong for anything and everything, and are afraid to lose and get in trouble. Most annoyingly, we're busybodies, no matter what happens you'll definitely know because there will be a group of people gathering around and gossiping, or simply go on twitter and facebook and you get the latest news faster than your parents. We're also kiasu which means "afraid to lose". WE MUST WIN NO MATTER WHAT. No matter if it's getting the first seat in the MRT or getting the top for exams or even eating finish the fastest, we must always be the first.

4. SINGLISH
If you know what language this is or have spoken it for nearly your entire life......you're most definitely a Singaporean. Words like 'lah' 'leh' and 'loh' are something that you use in almost every sentence sia. Apart from the basic Singlish, some of us have even gone further and learnt other languages such as Malay and Hokkien, and using words in that language that aren't exactly part of Singlish. And also learning vulgarities of course. Singlish is so recognised that even the Oxford Online Dictionary has included 'lepak' as part of it. Singlish is going to dominate the world soon WOOHOO!! (I wish)

So short post here but I hope you guys enjoyed it or found it interesting!!
