God didn't promise days without pain, laughter without sorrow, sun without rain, but He did promise strength for the day, comfort for the tears, and light for the way. And ME to share all the pain, laughter, tears, sorrow,happiness, sun and rain with you! Let us endure all the 暴风雨 and 彩虹 together!

人在异乡与 Singlish

Was surfing around A's Blog and saw that he spoken more Mandarin than English.....
Suddenly, I remembered an incident that happened last year in China...

Well, it was the last few days of our OEP, otherwise known as YEP by most.
We were at a place of interest, think it was the Tiger Leaping Gorge 虎跳峡....
we were walking down the gorge.... then we saw this group of people who we suspected to be Singaporeans.... and it proved us right when we heard, "LaH!!"

We turned and asked.... you all singaporeans? lolz...
And we were right... they were from NUS, also doing their YEP.
Well, although we did not know each other, we or is it only I, felt very happy to see them... at least, I saw people of our homeland after being away close to a month.... ;p

A, maybe you can try to see if you can find a singaporean at your hall by hearing the way that he/she speaks? Hehe... but then again, he/she may only speaks to Singaporeans with Singish... ;p

Addendum: It is still a nice experience being overseas...... Hope I didn't make my friends who are overseas to miss home.... If I do, I didn't mean to do it. But isn't that makes you treasure your loved ones and friends even more when you come back?
