  2. Nice thread op
     
  3. Yep. Not just Latin America, Europe is dumped there too. Basically if you're not a native English speaking country your in 'Asia' campus. It's more 'rest of the world' campus
     
  4. It's like Inglish (indian english)
     
  5. Yeah it's one of the things Singaporeans don't notice so much.  I had to point it out to my friends. You tend to have it at the end of a sentence and say it in a very characteristic way.

    And also that special way you call close friends. "EY." 
     
  6. Me singaporean oso!
     
  7. Like Rirrie said, it has to do with the language of the country. Players have actually inappropriately named the campuses as US and Asian but it's really the English and non-English campus. ?

  18. great thread :)
    i find it hard to explain the 'meh's and 'lah's i use 
     
  19. Mm the only expalnation I can get is that they meant to say "Hey" but somehow can't pronounce the "H", or they don't really remember the person's name. Or it could be a new term that teenagers use, which has passed for a long time for me. Lol.
