Singlish

This conversation is real. It happened couple years ago when I was in Singapore. Every time I remember this I would automatically have a grin making my face looks weirder (tambah kotak kayak kubus).

Singaporean: "Hi? You are from Indonesia ha?"

Dono: "Yes, I am."

Singaporean: "My name is Kenneth Lam and what's your name ha?"

Dono: "Dono"

Singaporean: "Hahaha don't be kidding lah! What's your name?"

Dono: "DOOO NOOO"

Singaporean: "Huahahaha you like joke ha? Nice lah. Don't be kidding lah! I need your name."

Dono: "Dono Mr. Lam."

Singaporean: "Oh please, you don't know (pronounced DO NO) your name ha?"

Dono: "Haha It's my real name sir. D - O - N - O DONO. It's my Indonesian name."

Singaporean: "Haaaa :| ?"

There was a big lamented comedian whose name was Dono. Thus Dono is a common and popular name in Indonesia. Anyhow I am still not used to talking in English to any Singaporeans. Are you?
