  有些人习惯只说华语，有些人习惯只说英语，有些人喜欢把华语和英语掺在一块儿说。那叫Singlish.

  Because I used to speak French when I was in Secondary school, because one of my teacher speakes French, and happen that I know moderate French. But I'm not sure about my French now. Heh!
  
  Maybe I should try learning, speaking Tamil.

  Hallo....
  
  It depends.....generally Chinese people can speak Chinese, Malay people can speak Malay, Indian can speak Tamil (one of Indian languages).....and all 3 groups can speak English...
  
  Shopping....or other interaction......depending on the situation.....if the persons are both Malays, they may talk in Malay or English.........Chinese people, may talk in Chinese or English....Indian people, Tamil or English.......inter-racial, mostly English...
  
  Informal or semi formal, people may tend to talk in native languages...formal occasions, more in English....
  
  Ok hope it can help you.
