Random thoughts:

Woman jane = new Woman(32, 28, 33);
jane.makeSandwich();

My observation (which may be inaccurate) is that Singaporeans speak Singlish as a faster rate than native English-speakers speak English. I suspect that the tones on the words in Singlish act as an error correcting code that allows mumbled consonants to be deciphered. This error correcting code allows a high rate of low fidelity information to be transmitted and comprehended.

Heard:

"If I go to heaven, what I'll be most worried about is that I see God and he sneezes. Then what do I say? 'Bless yourself?'"
