Is Goat Flower okay or not? Lately, I noticed he is quite busy posting obscene pictures of his granddaughter and soliciting online clients for her.      

[WhatDoYouThink!]

Goat flower so old already still confused with the terms Chinese 华人，and Chinese Nationals 中国公民。maybe his mother didn't explain the difference to him

Lately, I noticed that Observer is quite busy posting obscene pictures of my granddaughter and soliciting online clients for her.       

How did he get your granddaughter's peektures? She let him shoot them right.

Knnbccb why this SIMTAN write so much about Ann Kok?
Is it  because last time he tried to win her heart but failed? Obviously what, look at his fuuked face! Knnbccb even a CECA maid will also run far far away from him.
Now he become a English teacher in a Market Talk forum knnbccb!
People here can understand each other very well as long as their message gets through with simple English or Singlish and there is no need to split the fuuking hair over one word 'beauty'
If you want to boast go here lah https://www.reddit.com/r/grammar/
Go and read all his posts, he tried to boast about his English by writing long winded story with bombastic words. Knnbccb! Remember this is a market forum not a English Grammar classroom and if you want politeness you are in a wrong classroom move out! Knnbccb!

There are a few points I'd like to make. First, I'm no English teacher as you claimed I am. Quite the contrary, I'm still a learner of English, trying to learn more about the finer rules of English grammar, which to be frank is hard to master.

An English teacher teaches English, and he will never openly admit his own grammar or spelling mistakes, let alone engage in self-flagellation, which is severely criticising himself for the mistakes he's made. Not once have I given an English lesson to anyone nor have I corrected anyone's mistakes. That's the job of a grammarian, not a student.

In point of fact, I recently admitted to making a grammar mistake even to the point of self-flagellation. Would any English teacher do it? My long-winded postings are not a literary showmanship as you claimed. Everybody knows my writing is very wordy, and I've been writing wordy posts since the day I joined this forum. To date, no one has made any insinuation of my posts being boastful - you're the first. Do not confuse verbose writing style with boastfulness.

If you had read my previous posts, you'd have found one that says I'm all for writing informally. In an informal forum, anything goes - slang words, broken English, half-past six English - as long as we make ourselves understood. You asked readers to read all my past posts. Have you done that? By the way, we're not having an English lesson here, we're having some serious discussion peppered with some harmless jokes and background noise.

Oh yes, you did read the opening paragraph of my post to you. The "hehe" at the end of the sentence represents laughter, a prank and not a criticism.

An island of so few beauties... acceptable ba.

If Singaporean women aren't eye candies, the same goes for the men who aren't yandaos Same parents, the same gene set, except that they are born with a kkj.  No woncder Fann Wong married a jhk.  

A high TFR would only increase our chances for failure at any beautiy pageant.  It's just reproducing more of the same fugly creatures. 

"Foreigner" is not used in China.  There, they call non-Chinese ----> Aliens.  A Singaporean going there is called an Alien.  It shant help to scream I am Chinese! I am Chinese! as most here would do.  The immigration kor kor will tell them, neo, chiu are a Singaporean, not a Chinese.  Look at the colour of your passport, and if you can read, look what's written on the cover.  Nao, kindly line up over there... those rows for Aliens.  

On occasion, my wife and I will go to mainland China for our holidays. On arrival at a Chinese airport arrival hall, we'll head for the turnstile for Alien 老外. Clearance at the immigration control is usually fuss-free. We love going shopping hand in hand, like a couple of lovey-dovey newly-weds, and we also like having an enjoyable dining experience.

In past visits, the staff in a boutique or restaurant would ask us where we hailed from while fixing their eyes on my wife. She's no spring chicken but she has a youthful appearance and a spring in her step. We spoke 普通话 to the staffers who must have felt we had a foreign-sounding accent.

My wife replied that we're from 新加坡 and we're 新加坡人 without specifying our race. There was no need to since we look very Chinese. Once, a staff member of a boutique store asked what was our race. My wife replied that we're 新加坡华人 (Chinese S'poreans).

Shanghai would be a food paradise of China where you can eat the foods of all over the world, besides that of every province of China.

Teochew food here would be fish ball noodles, char kway teow, Teochew porridge with a fairly big selection of dishes for the kiam.  That's what those who have never eaten Teochew food in China before think.  In fact, those are Teochew coolie food which the early Teochew migrants ate and passed down to us.  

Besides authentic Teochew food sold in Chinese restaurants, I have also eaten the foods of Henan, Hunan, Lanzhoy (not the whole Gansu Province yet, just Lanzhou nia), Sichuan, Beijing and lots more in Shanghai.  And of course, Shanghainese food.

Roasted pork (sio bak or siu yoke) and roasted GOOSE....I bought these at a Guangzhou wet market which was much cheaper than buying these in Singapore....not that roasted goose is even sold everywhere here, but roasted duck would be the closest comparison.

Mala is overhyped for some reason by some Chinese who set up, or competed to set up, eateries selling it.  In fact, Chinese food is far more diverse than just mala from that western province.

That being said, it is always wise to be discerning especially when buying street food.  The seller will swear to KILLjoy's granddaughter that he does not use gutter oil, and it's up to you to believe him or not.  He will say he does not pump her every night, which is also up to readers to believe or not, though not believing him should be about right.

As to speaking putonghua, well, there is no need to speak it unless we are speaking to the Chinese.  If we are more comfortable with speaking our mother tongue, be it Cantonese/Hokkien/Teochew, by all means, speak it.  If we prefer to speak in English with our brand of accent, that's also fine.  If you are in cities like Chaozhou, Jieyang or Shantou, you might want to speak the local dialect there, if you can speak it.

There are 1.4 billion Chinese and hundreds of millions of them who have not been to Singapore before.  But those who have been here are now more than the entire population of Singaporeans who are born here.  I was once asked by a waitress if I was from Singapore.  She recognized my accent....when I spoke Singlish.  As far as she saw it, I was like, well, ok, fine, he's a Singaporean, he's Han, I have seen thousands of them when I worked in Singapore not too long ago.  Yeah, I remember...Orchard Road, 313@Somerset, Bugis Junction, Sentosa Island.....I was not a novelty or an object of immense curiosity to her.  I was just another sinkie who happened to be in China. As her English was not so good (I'd suspect), she spoke 汉语 or 中文 with me... 

[WhatDoYouThink!]

Correct to use the term 华人。only the insane would queue up at the fast lane meant for chinese nationals and make a scence there

[Oyk]

My granddaughter is heartbroken.  She washed her meow meow with Dettol, but still no takers. 

Can you all help?  Poke one time,. pay wumao, poke ten times, gib you 5% discount... 

[EvertonDiehard]

Well, they'd probably love their chewren when they come along.  As long as the man can bring the bacon home, having a spouse they love is no longer a consideration or requirement if that dreaded "3" was on the near horizon.  It was the last call, and if they didn't board the plane, they would miss it, so they reasoned. Could bring the bacon home This one should be a prerequisite ba.  It's not a happy thing to be unable to marry the man they like, better still love. 

How many of us ended up marrying the man or woman of our dreams? I didn't end up with my first girlfriend who was indeed my first crush, love and GF. Am I happy being married for more than 2 decades to my wife who gave me 3 children?  You bet I am!  I can honestly say that I cannot live without her.

Knnbccb this one not English lesson?

1) Island of so few beauties. Can you make sense of this phrase?
2) Island peopled by so few beauties.
3) Island inhabited by so few beauties.
The first one is poor grammar, no doubt about it, and was constructed by yours truly.

NB: Inhabit isn't an appropriate word here. It's mainly used in formal or scientific contexts. In everyday language, peepur usu say someone lives in a place.

NB: 'Alien' is used in official contexts. In everyday English, 'foreigner' is used, but many here have a distrust of foreigners, so it may be better to use the expression 'peepur from other countries.'

[EvertonDiehard]

Not quite wor. The problem lies with the village that entrenches old norms.
As long as the men are brought up to believe they are to be providers, and women are brought up to expect the men to provide, how in hell is a man earning $2000 going to think he can provide for a woman who earns five times as much?
There has to be a seismic mindset change. Are women willing?  

We can take the man out of the small town, but not the "small town mentality" out of him.  

[starbugstk]

Knnbccb here's another one on grammar lesson

According to World's Wealthiest Cities Report 2023, S'pore has been named the 5th richest city in the world and the 2nd richest in Asia. SG is home to 240,100 millionaires, 329 centimillionaires and 27 billionaires.

With so many filthy rich people living in this tiny island of so few beauties, it could not have been an affordability issue. Moreover, a real looker like Ann does not come often. There could be other reasons unbeknown to us.

The hastily-turned sentence in bold is ungrammatical and lacks clarity. "island of so few beauties" is bad grammar. Allow me to rephrase the sentence for clarity and flesh it out with more details.


There are so many filthy rich people but so few available beauties living in this tiny island. Men with money to burn don't have much choice when it comes to snaring the choicest catch. The really good-looking Ann Kok would have been the pick of the bunch, or at least an excellent catch. However, her age may count against her. For the well-heeled, money is no object; they want the best.

[starbugstk]

Knnbccb Oyk caught you with misinformation on Ann Kok's career history you were quick to blame it on entertainment site with erroneous info.
Can you show the readers here which entrainment site contain that misinformation?

My bad! I gathered this erroneous piece of info from an entertainment site while neglecting to read Bigiron's post(8) which provides more reliable information, courtesy of Wikipedia. That mistake was a beauty. Thanks for the correction.

[KILLjoy]

[starbugstk]

Many aspiring actors rose to fame after taking part in the annual Star Search award contest. Others went for auditions, and after a few acting jobs on the soap, they gained prominence. Ann Kok was reported to have started her acting career in the eighties, which means she was a child actress at the onset of her incredibly long career spanning some 40 years. From the time she was a child, acting must have beckoned to her.

Many who had a lot of staying power went on to become household names. A household face is not just a face in the crowd. They're recognizable faces in the entertainment industry. For obvious reasons, Mediacorp has always discouraged their artists, esp the A-listers, in their employ from taking public transport. They should preferably rely on cars as a means of transportation.

Celebrities often find it hard to escape the glare of public scrutiny. Anything untoward about their appearance or movement is bound to set tongues wagging. If fans notice a change in a star's appearance - from, for instance, a fairly pretty face to a stunning face - you could hear whispers that she's gone under the knife of a plastic surgeon.

Once, a well-known actress married beneath her - to an extra. Her hordes of fans found the marital mismatch a bit hard to swallow at first. When they sobered up, they accused the extra of trying to piggyback on his famous actress wife's success. Their prediction became a self-fulfilling prophecy when the lowly actor went on to become as famous as his wife. These sorts of stories about sex and famous people are keeping the rumour mill churning. Ann Kok remains the piece of the puzzle, and it seems hard to solve.

Where's your sauce?

Wiki says she started acting in  1993 wor.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ann_Kok

Kok started her acting career in 1993 after emerging as a finalist in the local talent-search competition Star Search, where she won a contract to work on Chinese-language TV channel SBC 8 (now MediaCorp Channel 8).

A big thank you Oyk! for unearthing this piece of untruth otherwise it would have been buried in the ground of falsehood
A well disguised piece of fabrication with flowery words and sentences for maximum effect knnbccb!

[starbugstk]

You asked readers to read all my past posts. Have you done that?                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                

In the beginning it was wonderful to read all the colourful and decorative words you used in your posts to describe an issue or event it was mesmerizing.
Then I asked your skin is thicker or Oyk in another thread
In your own words you said you were in the same mould as him and that's when it turned me off. I began to look at the substance of your post not your persuasive and wordy construction of words any more.
Your writing is very suitable for novel it sells for sure but you used your powerful English to crush and subdue people in your refute and during debate especially Blasterlord.
You continued to defend Oyk relentlessly and illogically even at the result of a poll set up by Dan.
The conclusion was a massive 85% against him and you were not a bit convinced and blamed it on unfairness people in this forum had on Oyk. Knnbccb wtf !
Oyk has 6 enemies under his signature but 17 members voted against him knnbcb!

Does that answer your question? Knnbccb!

For obvious reasons, Mediacorp has always discouraged their artists, esp the A-listers, in their employ from taking public transport. They should preferably rely on cars as a means of transportation.

Celebrities often find it hard to escape the glare of public scrutiny after being thrust into the limelight. Anything untoward about their appearance or movement is bound to set tongues wagging. If fans notice a change in a star's appearance - from, for instance, a fairly pretty face to a stunning face - you could hear whispers that she's gone under the knife of a plastic surgeon.

These sorts of stories about sex and famous people are keeping the rumour mill churning. Ann Kok remains the piece of the puzzle, and it seems hard to solve.

Everyone makes mistakes from time to time, be it a typo, a factual error or just an oversight. I made the mistake of stating Ann Kok's acting career had taken off in the '80s when in fact it began in the '90s. I gleaned the erroneous info from a Chinese entertainment website which I'm now not able to recall and retrieve. If I had read the 8th post of this thread that conspicuously shows the real commencement period of Ann's career, I wouldn't have come to grief. That's what comes from not checking my post thoroughly.

When you write a lot, you tend to make a mistake or two, but I think this isn't a big issue in forum talking shop. It's helluva big issue when it's going for publication. Mine was a simple oversight, but you made a big thing out of it, as if it was a malicious distortion of the fact, but in point of fact it was an unintentional distortion of the length of Ann's career - from 30 years to 40 years or thereabouts.

You said the "10-year untruth" would be buried in the ground of falsehood. Nay, it won't be dead and buried just yet as it is still standing tall for all to see in post 8. I cannot thank Oyk enough for pointing out my mistake. It's against our principles to ignore or cover up each other mistakes. When we made a mistake, we jolly well own up to it. This goes to show that he's a principled person. I made a simple mistake, but I'm sure that didn't take away from my overall, well-thought-out essay written in good faith.

[S I M T A N]

Then I asked your skin is thicker or Oyk in another thread
In your own words you said you were in the same mould as him and that's when it turned me off. 

I honestly didn't know how to answer this stupid question of yours - which skin is thicker? So I just professed that I'm no psychic. I mean I didn't really know how to quantify a person's tolerance level for criticism, and I'm sure it's difficult for anyone else to do so.

When you pressed me again for the answer, I retorted that I'm in the same mold as Oyk. This mean that we both are unperturbed by all the criticisms leveled against us. Something I don't understand is why were you turned off on hearing I'm in the same mold as Oyk. Is it because you fear having another Oyk to contend with?
