A Singaporean's Voice
this is by far the most radical stuff i huf posted here
The practical side of me tells me it's unavoidable trend for national survival, however i feel increasingly infiltrated by foreigners -be it angmohs, neighbours, cousins from the far east..they are the same to me, opportunists seeking out on this little red dot. Their numbers have already overtaken the locals' if you aren't aware yet.
i wonder how much added advanatge citizens here have over these people...maybe the hdb grant/cpf loan if you fall below the income cap.
you know they are different from us. you can easily tell a Singapore Indian's accent from India Indian's very well, let alone a Singapore Chinese from PRC Chinese, ie if you are a Singaporean yourself. I have grown more accomodating to our local people over these years. I simply refuse to tune my singaporean accent in the european culture of my workplace; I am good, I know my stuff and I understand what u said perfectly well, if you can't get me, u just got to adjust accordingly cos i am so not going to succumb.
I am proud of Olivia Ong, and also the fact that I got to know her music before she is repackaged for the TW industry. 2 years back, googling on her will get you little or no results, now you see more :)
