me: you know, ang mohs' english is not that good? it just happens to be their native language and if it even sounds superior, it's only because of their slang. but all the grammatical errors are masked by their heavy accent.
Z: but at least they can speak their first language. mandarin is singaporean's mother tongue but you can't even speak it.
me: who says so! i can!
Z: like shit la
me: well english is an international language. if i only can speak mandarin, i believe i can get nowhere or maybe only to china. but with english, i believe i can get at least somewhere.
Z: no. not true. you know how they say that wherever there's water, there's chinese?
------------- long pause -------------
me: no. haven't heard before. (I SERIOUSLY HAVE NOT HEARD OF THAT BEFORE)
Z: your chinese sucks la
me: wa lau nowadays i even zi dong speak mandarin to my colleagues when i initiate conversations lor. ANDDDD, they understand!
