Hiatus
Friends... Things have been a bit hectic of late. I'm finally going to Japan in 2 weeks! My posts will have more 'liao' (substance) when i'm there, so please be patient with me and i should be able to be connected by late April (or earlier). In the meantime, continue to watch "Japan Hour" on TV for your Japan fix.
Japanese and Singlish... Same same?
I'm starting to understand the Japanese language a little better now. In Japanese, the sentence structure is usually subject-object-verb although in English we have subject-verb-object. It can get quite confusing rearranging your words from English to Japanese. However if you include Singlish into the equation, i realize it isn't that difficult after all.
One example: If you want to know the time, you would say this Japanese phrase: "Ima nan ji desu ka?". This corresponds to "Now what time is it?", which makes perfect sense in Singlish isn't it? Hehe.
Cheh, so easy like that only ah? Why the Japanese cher early early don't say...?
