I got rather intrigued by this superbly-excellent song from Sting. Englishman in New York.

Will it be any different for a Singaporean? I cross my fingers and try my luck in understanding the feeling we feel in New York.

I dont drink "coffee" I take teh auntie
I like egg on my prata roti
And you can hear it the gung-hu way when I talk
Im a Singaporean in new york

See me bargaining down fifth avenue
A shopping bag here at my side
I koup one everywhere I walk
Im a Singaporean in new york

Where got alien
Where illegal alien
Im just feeding myself in new york
Where got alien
Where illegal alien
Im just being myself in new york

If, manners maketh man as someone said
Then hes the buaya of the day
It takes a man to kena arrowed and still smile
Be yourself no matter what they say

Where got alien
Where illegal alien
Im just easing myself in new york
Where got alien
Where illegal alien
Im just trying to survive in new york


I'm just going to omit the lines that actually follow in the real lyrics.

Good Day to you.
