*This is News on da beat- hosted by me and my opinions~~*
The newspaper mentioned that Jurong Point is going to be the largest suburban mall in Singapore. Wah- this makes me feel glad that I stay near Jurong Point. Haha (^_^) It has been a long time since I stepped into that shopping centre. In the past, we used to hang around there during secondary school years so there was that sense of familiarity. But now it seems that the sense of familiarity is fading away. The bus interchange has moved to a new location-this is a change that I disliked. The buses seem to take a longer time to pick up passengers. It is inconvenient for me to take a selection of buses because every bus that i can take is very far away from each other. Can't expect me to run here and there right? haha Jurong Point has become another gathering place for foreign workers. It is getting more crowded especially along the route to the entrance of the shopping centre from the mrt station.
North Point shopping centre is finally going to be expanding. I remembered all of us complained about how small the shopping centre is and the activity there seemed very stagnant. My friend and I got bored every time we went there after school. The nearest place to go after school is only North Point, what to do... Even if there are any changes to North Point, I will never never ever go there.
During a recent J K Rowling reading session of the last Harry Potter book, a girl fan asked J.K Rowling about the love life of Professor Dumbledore. She said that Dumbledore is gay!! Hmm..I don't know whether she thought of that on the spot or something..but it seems like an answer that will not invite more questions.
Taiwanese will not understand Singaporean Mandarin so knowing the Chinese language doesn't mean it is easy to communicate with Mandarin-speaking people all over the world. I sometimes don't understand theirs too especially when it includes Japanese characters. The Taiwanese people are influenced by Japanese language. Hmm..ours is influenced by dialects, is it?
Ahh..I thought of something...*bulb lighting up* Singaporeans have one common characteristic- we like to have short-cuts. That is why when it comes to language, our usage of language is not that proper. Singlish is developed partly because of this reason. Take for example: using the English language. When we said "excuse me", typical Singaporeans will say a shorter version of it right?? haha something like " eh-cue me". That is the difference compared to how Japanese and Korean people speak. If you listen to them speaking English, they will tend to say it longer than the normal pronunciation. For example: the word "normal", the correct pronunciation is "nor-mal" (2 syllables) but they will pronounce it as "nor-ru-mal" (3 syllables). My senior is going to have a very long day at school. From 8.30am to 10pm!!! oo my gosh..if that is my timetable for a day, i think i would be like this --> (@_@)
I am uploading songs to put on this blog. It is taking eternity to finish. Waiting is an agony~~
