How to quarrel online like a Singapore teen

A week ago, I came across an intriguing post written by a Singapore teenage girl boy on her his public blog.

Her  His blog does not have a permalink for each post, but it’s the post dated Wednesday, December 4, 2013 1:16 AM. 

The post was written in a unique language which probably only she he and her his friends can decipher 100%. It was a very entertaining read for me to gain insights on how Singapore teens quarrel online these days.

From what I gathered, it seems the blogger and her his group of friends are disappointed with a particular girl in their clique who is no longer hanging out with them as much as she used to after she found a boyfriend.

The post was to declare a severance of the group’s friendship with the girl.

Wow.

Epic story.

I had fun reading the post and hope you enjoy it too. To make the reading more interesting, I challenge you to translate it into proper English and post the entire transcript in my comment box below!

  • Hi. It is a guy's blog you are referring to. He's just ranting and expressing his disappointment about his friend, why must a post that is personal between them be written in perfect English? You obviously don't even know him or his friends, so who are you to judge?

  • @Jessica Lim

    My mistake on the gender... will go change it. I did not say the post needs to be written in perfect English. It has strong entertainment value and I am highly recommending it for a read. :)

  • Hi there.

    Do you even have the basic courtesy to credit someone for his photo/s? Well I can see that you really lack of it. Also, did the owner even gave you permission to take his photo? I don't think so.

    How is his English not 'proper'? Please enlighten me, sir! Would really love to see how 'proper English' sounds/looks like.

    How about I challenge YOU to make the whole script into 'proper English' as you deemed?

  • So rude of you to comment on people's language, did the law says that blog posts needs to be in proper English? Don't be so quick to judge without even knowing the whole story. So what if his english is proper or not, does it affect you in anyway? In short, it's none of your business:)
    Oh by the way, I guess the blogger didn't even gave you permission to post his photo. Right?
    Bro, you're trying too hard to gain popularity from other people's blog;)

  • I cannot imagine how sad and mundane your life must be to consider other people's personal blog post on his own friendship problem (none of your business) as something of "strong entertainment value". I think your face has a stronger entertainment value. Oh not to mention your fake twitter and instagram followers HAHA oh my, pretty strong entertainment value there.

  • Hey bob, are you that free to even pick on that one sentence? Are u that bored? Get a life bob, go and make new friends out there rather than picking on sentence structures or your so what perfect english;) oh and may I suggest you getting a girlfriend, a "mob"? Maybe? Do consider my suggestion bob :)

  • @Yanlin, Linda and Jessica Lim - Chill. Are you the blogger's friend? I shared his blog post because it was indeed, an interesting read for me. The post was public. It was meant to be read by the public - no? Wasn't that the purpose of broadcasting the whole incident on a public blog vs on a facebook note or a locked post? Anyway, I don't want to make enemies. If you friend is uncomfortable with the reshare, just email me. Thanks and merry Christmas.

    With regards to the English, maybe the way I wrote my post make it seems like I am an English Nazi. I am not, and I don't see anything wrong with your friend writing the way he does. It is just different from how I am used to reading (which was why the post was interesting).
