  Aliens from NZ.  caine n tania ar really nice ppl,  n i feel kindof bad dat nobody else besides me,  got e chance to meet them.  Question of e day:  "
hey,  wats dat weird thing over there spitting water?  n they all agreed when i said dat e esplanade looks like a pair of fly's eyes.  Things i learnt from e kiwis:  -  "
called"  n " cold"  both sound like " cold"  apparently,
 e kiwis dun differentiate b/ w e 2 sounds n only use e vowel sound for " o"  in " cold"  ie in linguistic terms,
 e 2 sounds ar allophones of e same phoneme in kiwi- english -  " aye"  can mean anything from " yes"
 or " uh- huh"  to " huh?  -
 we ar exposed to western culture cos of tv n stuff,  but they noe nuts abt us since tcs drama serials arent aired in NZ -  they actually prefer our hectic lifestyle n communal unity ( e grass is always greener on e other side)  Things e kiwis learnt from me:  -
 rojak is too spicy for them -  ppl here ar always smiling,  more so than back in kiwiland ( which muz be agreed tho dat there ar more sheep than ppl there,  n so theres something wrong wif our sample population)  -
 everything is expensive in s'pore,  except computers n movies -  soya bean milk is called " dou jiang"  n fried doughsticks " you tiao"
