Hua Yu Ku (Translation: Chinese is cool)Singapore is an effectively billingual country, and Chinese is used widely for communication, even in a English-origin school like Raffles Institution. In fact, Chinese is now such a popular language that even non-Chinese people have taken it up as their mother tongue. Here is an example of how it is applied:
~During Chem Class~
Guang Yao (a.k.a Pranav): 我要喝你的奶！
Mask Rider (Name changed to prevent lawsuits): 男人没有奶！
Guang Yao: 你不是男人！
Mask Rider: 你不是人！
Guang Yao: 你没有懒 (Obviously you noe what 'lan' refers to)！
Mask Rider: 你的又小又黑！
Guang Yao: 至少我有懒！

To those non-Chinese speaking people, you are encouraged to learn Chinese so that you can read and enjoy such conversations in the future when China invades Singapore's market.
