Yes, an embarrassment, a living endorsement



And as part of stop embarrassing yourself, here's a little tip to all those who love annoying the rest of us with terrible english. and its getting annoying to hear this. while it might seem "singaporean" or "slinglish", there's nothing cool about terrible english. NOTHING. so give me, and everyone else who tries to understand you a break and pronounce the words right. I can't promise I can give an adequate meaning to all of the words but I'm sure you can find the words online if you want.
