Morning Ash. It's probably near lunch time for you, so have a good lunch break later![]()
I had an early niight yesterday after dinner. Great dinner, though after dinner conversation left me bewildered, which is the subject of another thread that I will post later.
i woke up early today. Wanted to go for a quick run but didn't. My spirit is willing but my flesh is really weak. So I thought I will reply to you, go for a shower and spend more time dressing up today.![]()
On dialects, please don't get me wrong, I am not against usage of dialects. I do break into cantonese with my HK colleagues, hokkien with Taiwanese friends and mandarin with my PRC friends too.
You are absolutely correct that the Singaporean man has the "foulest" of all mouth, especially when they lose an argument, whether on or off line. The evidence are plentiful here and I need not say more.
I once discussed with a close male friend of mine why is this so. He concluded that it is SAF. At 18, they went NS and it is there where all the organ-related swear words propagate unwittingly. He said that even if one is not a "swearer", the amount of usage of such swear language will inevitably influence those who do not swear.
Have a great day ahead, Ash. I need to have a shower now, decide what I need to wear today and touch up my face.

Your close male friend is lucky. I picked it when I'm in primary school. Its later on in life that I control the usage of the language a lot better. I blame the PAP for destroying our cultural heritage. Having no access to proper usage and pronunciations of the dialects.
