Ah Beng's e-Meow

Someone needs Engrish lessons here. If there's something or someone that's the bane of the English language, it most certainly must be Ah Beng.

Ah Beng is an imaginary local dude of Chinese origin, who has limited grasp of the English language and who makes you roll in laughter with his antics and his logic. Together with his girlfriend, Ah Lian , you'd be sure to have endless side-splitting moments. For starters, let's see what Ah Beng has to say to Ah Lian in his e-Meow, I mean email.

    Hi Agus, wrong time no sea. I spose u r wright. Can understand gud enuf la.

    Andie, oh no, on the contrary, I was just marvelling at the versatility of the Engrish language. Actually, this is a hybrid language we call Singlish (as spoken in Singapore) and Manglish (as spoken in Malaysia). I suppose you can call it Pidgin English. It's part of our culture now. No offence to anyone, yeah?
