Singapore meetups

If anyone wants to organise a meet-up over some kopi, feel free to post here. Police permit normally not required. :D (You can also make use of the Misplaced Pages groups on Meetup.com)

June 2005 meetup anyone?

I will be effectively unemployed by tomorrow, so just wondering if anyone is interested for a meetup for a chat anytime after the school exam period (for the benefit of our still-schooling folks)..probably in late May or June?--Huaiwei 08:30, 2 May 2005 (UTC)

No responses to your call? I think the "scholars" are all doing temp jobs now :P Kimchi.sg | Talk 01:31, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Oh I just realised half the folks here are studying overseas. :D --Huaiwei 03:44, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Haha I just might be going back to SG to bring back all the tons of stuff I left. Probably Jul-Aug. But I think we're better off having online tea instead, eh? -Hmib 15:36, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Online tea? Awwww...haha. Come to think of it, I dont even have a more feasible means of communication with anyone of you. MSN anyone?--Huaiwei 10:28, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I think we all have MSN, at least, seeing how popular MSN messenger is in SG. haomin at erpz dot net. But seeing how the summer break in SG is coming to an end soon (while mine just started yesterday)... -Hmib 02:04, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Here's coffee for all! :D Too bad we can't share real stuff online. :> --Kimchi.sg | Talk 10:11, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Damn the shifted timetable that polytechnics use. :< On a related note, is anyone here from Temasek Poly? CABAL 11:56, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Do you mean the school year that starts in September? That is the correct timetable, actually. -Hmib 22:50, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Survey on Chinese dialects

(Allow me to have this survey for some time)

May I know any of these Chinese SGpedians have any knowledge of Hokkien, Teochew, Cantonese or any other dialects and have an account in the Chinese, Malay or Minnan wikipedia? I need help in translating articles concerning about Singapore into Chinese.

If anyone is interested, list your dialects spoken and your ability to speak your dialect.

The purpose of this survey is to expand our article editing into the Minnan and Chinese Misplaced Pages, and if possible, a creation of a Cantonese wikipedia. I have noticed that many of the younger generation of Singaporeans have lost their ability to speak their dialects. Please do not undertake me as a "show-off".

Since most Chinese Singaporeans, especially the older generation, have dialect names. And having the ability to understand dialects would help us to write the names in dialect, such as User:Mr Tan/Wee Kim Wee (the dialect name may be wrong), and Goh Chok Tong.

Feel free to ask questions concerning this survey, if you have any doubts.

I"ll give the ratings in Class order:

• Class 0:Unable to speak or understand your native dialect(s)
• Class 1: Having a knowledge of only a smattering of dialect words and phrases (can understand to a simple extent in spoken dialect, but unable to reply)
• Class 2: Having the ability to understand dialect(s), but only having the ability to converse haltingly
• Class 3: Having the ability to understand dialect(s) fluently, able to converse reasonably
• Class 4: Having the ability to understand and converse dialect(s) fluently
• Class 5: Having a profound knowledge of dialect(s)

List your entries here:

1. Tan (I'm not old!):

• • Cantonese, class 4
  • Teochew, class 3
  • Hokkien, class 2

2. Goh wz:

• • Hokkien, class 2

3. Hmib

• • Cantonese-1 (not native)
  • Wuyu-2 (1/2 native)
  • Xiangyu-1 (1/2 native)

4. Kimchi.sg

• • Cantonese class 3
  • Hokkien class 0 :(

5. Slivester

• • Teochew, class 4

6.tdxiang,Tan Ding Xiang

• • Hainanese,class 2
  • Cantonese,class 4
  • Hokkien,class 4
