Big cheers on leaving your shoes outside!

My native English speaking has really taken a dive trying to communicate with Singaporean’s. Singlish is definitely the real language of Singapore

Not to mention that there's a lot of foreign workers in Singapore as well; They don't understand when you speak in proper English. I'm a Singaporean living overseas for 20 years so I go through the same thing as well.

Precisely. I just can't fathom why some people simply just enter the house without taking off their shoes. Like u said u clean ur house n u simply dirty it again when u enter ur house without taking off your shoes.

As a Singaporean, I can sooo relate to every point!!! Welcome and happy to have someone like you who adapts to local culture, in our little country Singapore ❤️ Take care and stay safe!

Singlish is probably best explained as an ultra lazy, yet ultra efficient way of speaking English, with whatever words that has the least syllabus or whatever gets the point across. It evolved from our multi-racial society before everyone spoke English, so they all picked up some phrases to communicate between each other.. then they mix English with it and became as such. :)

Excellent Video!!! Appreciate it so much. I have not been able to travel to Singapore since 2019. So, I appreciate your videos to keep myself squinted with this great county. What are some of your favorite Singapore dishes? When my wife and I travel to Singapore, our first stop is the Katong area for their Laksa. That has always been our favorite. I love Char Kway Teow so much. There is a hawker stall in Jurong (on Boon Lay Drive) that makes the best I have had in Singapore. Keep up the good work and stay safe! Have a great weekend!!!

I know what you meant by gaining weight from eating out. 🙂 Best thing to do is reduce sugary drinks, limit noodle dishes (once or twice a week), same with fried stuff (once a week indulgence), drink less of the soups if they're not clear light soups. Exercise is a must of course. 😉 Just suggestions. 🙂 Btw, cute poodle! 😀
