This morning xiuxiu told me that i speak too much singlish not too nice. she is right especially after the teochew porridge owner allegation saga, we should be more careful with the singlish word we use so we will not be misunderstood, these old fashion words are 'if, i think, seriously, basically, honestly, actually, MY GUT FEEL TELL ME'
the last one is especially misleading. last time when i work outside got a lot of senior people tell me about their gut feeling... as a new bird it sounds convincing and it makes them look like they are very experience and a-sai.... but most of the time when we singaporean use our gut to feel that means we do not have the actual numbers or facts in our head, we are just guessing, correct? this is make worse when young engineer fresh from uni/poly also learn this singlish and start to use their gut feeling.... becareful with the words we use... not everyone is like HSBC... the world local bank.
