I came across the blog The Misadventures of Sibeh Sian one fine day, and have been quite an avid reader ever since. In the facade of a strong Singaporean boliao tone, he depicts the life of a Singaporean very lucidly and candidly. A good example to substantiate my point would be his latest entry on The Long and Short about the Unwritten Rules in Singapore, which describes Singaporeans’ innate reaction towards having personal space. His posts sometimes make you wonder about your hometown culture while entertaining you with his anecdotes. I sometimes speculate whether his posts reflect his real life or not, but ultimately it’s amusing to read and sometimes even has an educational effect with his underlying messages.
This is not a sponsored post, though I wish it was haha. I don’t know why I’m actually helping him advertise here. Well, his blog is a good read sometimes, and I hope you’ll enjoy it too. It’s in standardized English with an occasional Singlish slang word, which doesn’t irritate like how other broken English ones do or how some blogs are just completely in Singlish.
