National Day Parade
by hassan_abu
National Day Parade. Really makes one pariotic.
So much effort has been done to make this parade a success. Although, I was in Singapore during this year's 2002 parade (our 37th so far), I am very proud to be a Singaporean
Understanding Singlish
by Nachons
Singlish, quite literally, means Singapore English-- a unique blend of the languages and dialects of the diverse ethnic groups residing here.
Most Singaporeans are actually capable of speaking proper English, but do not do so on a daily basis out of habbit. We do try to leave out the singlish punctuations when speaking to tourists, also known as Ang Mors (foreigners).
Common singlish punctuations are lah, lor, ley, wah lau, oei..usually teamed with an exclamation.
Eg:
English- I don't want
Singlish- Don't want lah!
English- It's fine if you don't want it.
Singlish- Don't want, don't want lor!
English- Don't behave like that.
Singlish- Don't like that ley!
English- Why are you late?
Singlish- Wah lau! Why you so late?
And so on..someone mentioned dropping the Ts which is not quite how it goes. Words are still pronounced as is, most of the time. Most foreigners have fun trying to punctuate every sentence with a 'lah'....try it!
Hanging the washing out to dry.

The tradition of hanging washing out the highrise windows is definitely a Cultural scene, and could be a hazard of you were underneath anything falling. It was a strange sight for me but very common in Singapore.
Tree Top Walk At MacRitchie Reservoir
by Rachelynn
This is something that's pretty new in Singapore. I have NOT try it yet unfortunately...kekek, but the url that i have attached has a good write-up abt it and also directions to get to MacRitchie Reservoir.
I am planning to go after the month of dec as it's raining season in singapore now. Will definitely update you guys ya!
But from the website it seems pretty cool. I takes about 2 - 4 hours to do the complete walk. And there are only 2 toilet stops in between.
