We better stick with Singlish.

Aiyo, see those commercials on Channel 5, seems like people are trying to act like they are very proficient in English when speaking. Not only that, they put up a fcuking disgusting accent. Trying to talk like an American or something. Too loathsome man. Irritating. It's like a skinny guy trying to pick up 10kg of weight, when he knows he can't.

Welcome to Singapore -

Datz why local English dramas suck compared to the Chinese ones. However, some local indie English films by Eric Khoo are pretty good.......

Hmm... well people would want to bring out the best part of themselves depending on situation. You would not want to hear broken english on boardcast, so would the advertiser who paid for the filming of the commerical, right?
Use common sense lah...
You also speak in a different accent when speaking to your boss or customers compared to your friends, understand now? -

zanemiller, Ok, then you can go ahead to use Singlish in answering your questions in exams, use Singlish to teach in Singapore, use Singlish in business dealings, use Singlish when you talk to the people from overseas, especially British, use Singlish when you write to the gahmen authorities in Singapore and so on . . . . . .
OK, alright, cool!!!
