Yes I'm in Canada and I haven't used an ah lian or de la (which
I'm not sure what it means). I just read on the forums and adopt
the lingos used. For example, Canadians would use the term
residence for on-campus accomodations, but I just used halls since
I've seen enough people use that term so might as well make the
nomenclature constant.
I've been told I might have a hard time understanding singapore
english, I guess they are wrong
