Wanda SG Special Sorry, Mod, I take this opportunity to OT a bit. Skid, I came across somewhere that you're an American? If so, do you find the culture in this Sg forum quite strange to you? I'm just curious.
skid SG I think our senses of humor are a lot different. I don't know if that's a difference between countries or just between individuals. When I'm in shoutbox I have difficulty knowing when someone is joking...and vice-versa. I think the language difference causes some of that. I've found most of the people that I talk to at sgForums quite nice and I've added a few Singaporean contacts on MSN. Kuali Baba/Nick is a friend of mine(we've never met) from some other forums and he told me and some others about sgF. He thought I might like it and he was right. unusualstrange
Wanda SG Thanks for sharing your experience. I tend to think that the sense of humour is different due to individual differences. But there are some jokes/topics which are very localised, as in ppl in the M'sia/Sg region would understand very well e.g. your post about "Marriage shd be about love and not education" in Chit Chat - that is clearly a cultural difference, although the mindsets are changing. Kuali Baba chats in Club30 which is where I chat too....maybe I'll get to meet him at the forthcoming gathering. Anyway, I'm glad you enjoy Sgforum. Cheers! Thanks, Mod.
