Fucking good luh. The use of Singlish was very smart and made me realise just how witty, intelligent and direct the language can be. In comparison with English, the book made me laugh but there was always a sense of sadness and helplessness...because what can a small island of people who speak Singlish do against English, our colonisers? The world? Definitely a book I will be revisiting.
