I thought I might to be from Singapore, but it passed.

You need to zoom in with the '+' on the map for the flags to appear.

I'm not from singapore, though I sing and I can pour. And I don't think I'm your friend, but I've been wrong before.
Title: Re: are you from singapore?

Nope, but I'm a poor singer, thats for sure!

*groans at some of the jokes*

I thought I'd heard all the bad jokes about Singapore before (the caning one is miiiighty old), but some of these are really bad. :P

Anyway... I'm probably the only active member from the Lion City here now, but I have no idea about your friend, hello123. Sorry :(

Wasn't Don "The Barbarian" McPherson (http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/yabb/index.php?action=profile&u=2428) who you were looking for? Gord mentioned him in the second post of this thread.
If it's not him, I can't help you. I don't know any person who can sing, pour and teach at the same time.

Didn't know about the past of Barbarian, but as far as I know, he's living in Hong Kong at the moment.

Wikipedia knows all of this. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singapore) I could reproduce it here, but you'll learn more from reading the article. :D

thanks!  it probably also has a definition for "too lazy to search" or "yearning for human contact", too!

:D

I bought my iPod in singapore, it was very cheap. They use the same plug sockets as we do, so it was very easy to use at home to. I wish I was wfrom singapore.

I AM FROM SINGAPORE! NO JOKE! It is an extremely modern city island of its own with three main races, chinese, malay and indian. My ancestors moved from india ages ago. We all learn english as our first language however the majority there are chinese and are slowly starting to change it. It is very clean and then law, and schools, are very strict. It is called the lion city because ages ago a malaysian prince called sang nila utama came on his ship to singapore (legend has it that in a storm, he stopped the boat from sinking by throwing his crown overboard) and saw a tiger that had swam there from sumatra and mistook it for a lion and called it singa(lion)pura(city), soon sir stamford raffles of england founded singapore but the national anthem is in malay. Only a year ago I moved to england because the education here is beter.  :)
