there's this longstanding joke about how abbreviations are short but the word abbreviated is so long.
no it's not funny the way i've said it above but i never meant it to be funny. what's wrong with you people?
so if you open your eyes a little bit you'd have noticed how much singaporeans love abbreviations.
of course there're the common and ubiquitous HDB, CPF, MOE, NUH, ERP, PIE, PSLE, SGH, GST, CPF, Apt, so on, so forth lah.
but people just love making up new ones like SARS... oh, i can't remember, but i had a few yesterday night. -sheepish-
and if this continues we'd all be talking abbrevi-speak.
so, singlish or abbrevi-speak? pick the lesser of two evils singaporeans.
i say singlish. because abbreviations confuse me.
on a sidenote, please download ben lee's no room to bleed simply for how wonderful the song is. don't listen to justin's falsetto or william's she bangs! anymore, please i beg you.
on another sidenote (there're two sides to everything afterall),
i think i need to do an apology for calling ms. peter an SDU reject. i'm sorry i didn't mean it. even though i didn't say it to ms. peter's face, i still feel i owe her an apology.
so any kaypo lecturers who like to search for their students' names in hope of finding snippets about their private lives can pass on what i've said here because i don't think i can ever face her again. thank you very much.
