Calling All Singaporean Tropers!

I need to know if I'm all alone here.

Come on.

Bumpity. Come on, anyone?!

...I've seen a number around the place, but I'm not sure if they'll pop by. Who knows?

I spent some time in Singapore and loads of my relatives are Singaporean.

OMGZ UPDATES!

Cool man. Where are you from if you don't mind me asking?

Sydney. I've got cousins in Malaysia too. Are you Chinese?

Well, yes. But hearing me talk you'd think I was American.

Yes, this actually happens. My Primary and Secondary School classmates hear me talk and they ask me if I'm from America. XD

That and my Chinese sucks. TT_TT

I'm Chinese, too. And sometimes I still slip into American English, even though I was born here and have lived in Australia since I was six, when my family came back.

Yeah, but with me, American English is pretty much my default language and accent. Apparently it's because my parents taught me English as a kid with a lot of CD's and stuff from America.

That, and I watched a crap-ton of cartoons growing up, so.....

I know the feeling. Growing up, everyone always thought I spoke with an American accent. Then I met people who'd actually heard Americans talk, and then they told me it wasn't an American accent. So people thought I spoke with a British accent. And then I met people who'd actually heard British people speaking, and then they told me it wasn't a British accent either. And then I got older and discovered that there's no such thing as a pure "American" or "British" accent either.

As for what I sound like? We gave up and labelled it as What the Hell Is That Accent?

Alright! I'm not alone on this!

High-fives, both of ya! (raises hand for a high-five)

*raises hand...*

*...FAKE-OUT*

...Why are the only Singaporeans on this site a bunch of chiak kantang jokers?

(For the record, there used to be a few others around, but they've either moved on or are hiding in embarrassment from my antics. Or something like that.)

Ah, faking out high fives. Reminds me of school.

I've been away from TV Tropes for more than a year now, and decided to check in. Look, I found a Singaporean Troper coven! I'm from Singapore too.

Awwww-riiiggghht!

I was hoping this topic would pick up steam, and now it has!

High-five Dark Wolf! (goes for a high five)

High five back at ya! It's cool to see another Singapore round these parts.

Indeed it is friend!

So where in Singapore do you live?

Around Macpherson, but my school's way in the west. You?

Close by to Serangoon Gardens. Though my school is all the way at Dover. (it's a 45 minute MRT ride XD)

Haha, I see. What year ya studying in?

My first year in Polytechnic. You?

Hey guys. I'm Singaporean too. Currently studying Game Design in university.

Super late response yo, but sup! I'm in Game Design too! Only at a Polytechnic though.

Still in Secondary School. Probably the youngest Singaporean troper.

I'm currently living in Singapore, but isn't exactly Singaporean. Does that count?

Polytechnic, huh? I was first accepted in the Game Design Diploma when I got into my current Polytechnic, but later appealed to a different course.
