something to lighten you guys up!

You know you're from Singapore when...

1) you speak or randomly break out in Singlish
2) you crave chicken rice or the various uberlicious hawker foods
3) tying a soccer game with Malaysia actually means something
4) you're a guy and have no choice about National Service
5) you pronounce and spell stuff the Brit way
6) you pick up the trash after missing the rubbish bin
7) you say rubbish bin and not trash can
8) you end ALMOST every sentence with a 'lah'/'lor'/'hor' and everything looks much better with 'x's and 'z's (right horxxzz?)
9) you understand all the references in www.talkingcock.com (and ifnd the site funny)
10) you're shocked that your ez-link doesn't work at McDonalds' all around the world
11) people ask you what you speak at home and you say "uhhhh...."
12) you are able to communicate in a plethora of languages and dilects
13) swearing in numerous languages and dialects is natural
14) you "chope" seats at foodcourts/hawker centres with little tissue packets
15) you've sung the national anthem since you were in kindergarten and still have no idea what it really means
16) there's always a traffic jam near a vehicle accident cause everyone slows down to copy numbers for 4D
17) you use abbreviations for everything, such as ERP, PIE, MRT, SBS, SMS, CTE, IPPT, NCC...etc
18) you look at someone (when you're overseas) and a 6th sense tells you that they're from Singapore too
19) someone asks you for the time and your innate response is: "IT'S TIGER TIME!!!!" *rawr*
