Hot in the City

This is about the life of Miss Mo, a 30-something gal who recently moved back to Singapore from the US.

 

Miss Mo goes Dating

I really can't say enough about the sms dating culture in Singapore. This gets even worse.

I received an email from self-claimed NTU-EEE-graduate guy called XF. XF wrote that he would like to know me sincerely and asked for my cell to sms. I gave him my cell because I'm too fed up to even discuss with them about the real use of a cellphone, ie to talk, not sms.

So here're real quotes from XF's sms. Please note that I have saved these smses so that I can share them with you.

"you reply very long for afternoon :p. where you? later you come msn?"
"how are you weekend? Last night waited for you ler"
"I reply your email. chat msn?"
"oic so early go out liao got places to go mei morning hehe. I ask you n70 better or6280. so late home tonight again?"
"cheeyan what is your religion? do no need to go to the church every sunday"
"How your day? Taken lunch?"

Can somebody rescue me? Am I fussy or can you not stand the grammar here? How can someone be so atrocious in his English? It's bad beyond words! Yikes! I don't know but I don't think I can communicate with someone whose English is that bad. Can you?

You're not nuts -- I don't understand what he's saying either! Good grief, what is this SMS dating? Never heard of it before.
