23-01-07 Singapore Vocab...

I was jz thinking of teaching u all some words and phrases I picked up here that got me fuzzled intially...
mug = study (Tonight can't go out la... Wanna go mugging ah.) - sounds like wanna go rob ppl, rite?
mugger = studious person a.k.a. nerd (Eh, this year J1s d**n mugger leh, in canteen oso mugging!)
sia = leh... (as in... tat dish reli expensive sia...)
pon = ponteng(eh, what u doing here at canteen? Pon ah?) - fyi... some or maybe MOST ppl here dunno wat 'ponteng' means leh... cool eh?

And jz to update u on some stuff here that i find interesting... because they're not common in Miri...
1) Miri we have 1 McD that is frequented by many whenever it's open, right? Well... over here it's DOMINATED by McD!! It's like... In my area alone there're at least 3 McD's already...!!
2) School canteens usually are run under one management back home. Here.. We have like... 9 food stalls and 3 drink & beverages stall, one which is basically obsolete though...
3) It's rare to find someone who's good in sports and also good academically in Miri. Rare but NOT impossible... Here, almost EVERYONE's liddat!! WAHLAO EH??!!
4) Blading and cycling is very common and popular here!
5) Hugging and cuddling in public is like... as normal as shopping over here! Heheh...
6) Making friends is actually a LOT easier in JC!! WOOHOO!! Praise the Lord!!
