      Here’s a mind-blowing fact: french-Canadians use “lah” in the same manner, for the same reasons, and with the same pronunciation as Singaporeans (written “là” instead of “lah” but otherwise identical). Isn’t this crazy? Keeps blowing my mind every time I hear it because of how familiar it is to me! 😂

      @@LovedDoxology68 you gotta be kidding! The entire Ontario has been in a 2nd lockdown with a stay home order since Dec 26. There is talk it will be extended by another 2 weeks as infection cases remainly stubbornly high, although they have come down a bit. Hospitals are at their breaking points...elective surgeries are cancelled and medical staff had been crying for the government to take more action as they are burnout. The #1 hotspot? Toronto. Daily cases there had been about a thousand everyday until recently, hovering at about 700 now. Why, because people were not complying with pandemic safe measures, stupidly and self indulgently gathering in large groups with NO mask and partying as if there were no pandemic. Fortunately, I don't live in Toronto. Sorry bud, I have no love for Toronto.

    Hi Simon, like your vids pretty much.
    May I suggest two points:
    1) the 'front covers' of your vids can be more interesting. They can show the 'content' of your vids, e.g. animals, nature or your own activities, beside just displaying 'words' on them.
    2) Try do 'food vlogs'. We Singaporeans love food. And all the more the 'persepctives' of foreigners here in Sg tasting/ trying out the different cuisines. From Indian cuisines to Chinese delicacies, from Malay food to exotic fruits like 'durian', you will really have a whole array of vids to post up here. :))
    Hope you can get to have more subscribers henceforth! 👍
