Hi, folks.
Here's an update on the words in my dictionary. I am still saying those words with one or two syllabus. Anything more than 2, I would selectively drop the extra syllabus. Here are some fantastic examples:
Xia Yu - raining
Bu Yao - No, Don't want
Yao Yao - Want, medicine
Xue Xue - Shoe
Wa Wa - Doll, Soft Toy
Wah-wah/Sok - Socks
Bum-Bee - Bumblebee

Yum - Yum Seng!!!
The Yum Seng part was picked up from Uncle Francis wedding on 21 Dec 06. Whenever I saw those people raising their glasses and shouted "Yummmmm.... Seng!!!", be it on the stage or off at the ground among the respective tables. Being the cheeky monkey, I would happily raise both arms and shout "Yummmmm!!!!" for as long as I could. I would conveniently drop the "Seng" unless prompted by Momi or Dadi. Keke!!! I confirm going to be an Ah Beng next time. Yum Seng!!!
