Cloud :Very late;only after the new year began.
Tidus :I slept early.I was tired by six in the evening.

Umm.. whats the topic supposed to be?
What's you're favorite way of ruining the english language!? xD
Yeah I was about to say I really don't like the way singaporeans or malaysians butcher the english language, but I didn't want to sound offensive, even though it isn't really offensive.. mostly true. Singlish and "manglish" that is

That annoys me
actually that is the simple english that malaysian use just among malaysian...it doesn't mean to make fun of english, it's just the way how most malaysian (not all) talking when it comes to english...and it doesn't affect the english language...manglish are spoken widely by malaysian student according to some place where they're loafing or hanging out with friends such as at mamak stall, cafe, while in the cinema and any other place which is suitable for the use of manglish...
Yeah,especially when you got other races(I am NOT a racist) that sometimes barely grasp the essense on english,which results in them speaking Manglish.Mind you,I'm also Malaysian,and though I speak SLIGHTLY better english,I still speak manglish sometimes.Couldn't help it...damn...but just please note that manglish and singlish are NOT for the purpose for ruining the actual english language.I mean it practically.
omnislasher draco, you're malaysian?...where do you live?...anyway, about that manglish, i agree with you too...it totally doesn't ruin the usage of english...how about spanish english (spanglish)?...
I don't know, but what's yours - using you're instead of your?
Jus' kidding Bert.
Spanglish?Well,never heard of it so I've got no comments.I live in Ipoh BTW.You?
Ipoh mali lo?...I live in Mersing, Johor...never heard of spanglish?...me too...haha...
Singlish is dumb, siao.
Yea lor! Singlish was first!
Not that I'm supporting either one or anything!

Spanglish... this is a really extended conflict here, nearly everybody here speaks that "thing", is like "What's up loco" o "vamos al supermarket" or things like that, it really amusses me >.<
