What makes an Ah Lian?

What makes an Ah Lian?

I have came across this question numerous times, and it is indeed arguable that there is not a precise definition of an ‘ah lian’. According to wikipedia, the term ‘ah lian’ is a pejorative term used to describe Chinese girls in the Singapore-Malaysian region who are characterized by their lack of intelligence and materialistic mindset. While our previous descriptions of ah lians are purely based on their physical attributes, it is in fact, much more than that. It all boils down to their character.

Yes, while it is true that not everyone who wears skimpy clothes or pierces their bellies are ah lians, it can be considered a relatively accurate indicator of whether one can be considered an AL or not. Why? Well, the reason lies in the fact that the way we think is often portrayed in the way that we dress and act in public. Do you see the connection?

Of course, I mentioned above that not everyone who looks like an ah lian is one. So, what makes an AL an AL? Well, the answer lies in their mindset and character. Firstly, ALs usually engage in conversations that contain a gargantuan amount of vulgarities, which is probably their lingua franca anyway. In public, they usually center the attention on themselves, and are indifferent to those around them. As a result, many of them get into trouble, whether it is with the law or with members of the public. While there are a handful of ALs who excel in school, many of them do not. This is due to the fact that they spend most of their time doing unconstructive activities, such as camwhoring. This brings me to the next point. ALs love to camwhore. Although saying that photo-taking makes one an AL is definitely an over-exaggeration, ALs do, as a matter of fact, take multitudinous photos of themselves and that of their friends. It is idiosyncratic of them to rotate their camera at a 45-degree angle while snapping their reflection from a mirror.

That said, I would now like to expand a little on their inherent lack of ability to utilize higher cognitive thinking. First and foremost, they enjoy jumping to conclusions during arguments and repeating whatever they said previously. When all else fails, they usually start hurling their diverse vocabulary of vulgarities toward whoever they are quarrelling with. Does this sound familiar? I bet it does. More often than not, the ALs are the ones who label themselves an AL. After which, they start acting as if they are being despised by us. This doesn’t stop there. Some of them would start complaining about their broken families, and blaming their unacceptable behavior onto their parents. Yes, it is true that some of them have a really bad childhood, but that does not mean that they submit to fate! If you come from broken family, then rise above it. You have the power to control your life, and only losers put the blame on others. It is not what happens to you. Rather, it is how you respond to it.

Well, that was a little sidetrack from the topic. But the main point of this post is to let everyone who reads this realize that the characteristics associated with ah lians are only the physical aspects. However, the reason that this is often used is because it stems from their inherent materialistic and shallow mindsets, and not because we discriminate those that wear short skirts. The fact that they present themselves in such a manner reflects on their character, which results in the physical characteristics of Ah Lians which we have mentioned.

Merry Christmas everyone!! =D Nice little 'war' at the tagboard...keep 'em coming!!

Anyways, I'm just here for a short update. Regarding the tagboard, I have tried solving the problem. However, it seems like it still doesn't work. I'll check with my other team members to see if I can get access into the tagboard account so that I can remove the ban. If all else fails, I may then consider putting up a new tagboard.

As for those who are banned, please use the comments link below every post. Apologies for the inconvenience caused.

Welcome to Singapore, the land of lians and singlish!

Forget the merlion, forget ERPs, forget Sentosa!

Introducing the newest tourist attraction of Singapore!

TWITS! (aka lians)

As said by Cheryl "They want hate Ahlians let them hate. They just dont know how to appreciate this unique trait of singapore, which other countries dont have."

Applause please! We, Singapore, finally have something that other countries do not have! LIANS! Whoa!

I'm sure Malaysia will not quarrel with us over this 'uniqueness'.

Last time I checked, twits were a world-wide phenomenon. It's just so happens that the some countries do not have Asian twits. For example, in America, they call'em airheads/bimbos/bitches. It just so happens in Singapore they are called twits/lians.

So to our global readers, come visit Singapore if you'd like to see them twits!

That'll never happen.

I'll migrate outta this country if lians became our national identity. Yuck.

COME VISIT SINGAPORE! WE'LL MAKE SURE YOU VISIT THE MERLION INSTEAD OF TWITS. :D

Can you identify the problem?

Why English Still Remains Important In Singapore

Greetings, it's me, AAL Svperstar again~ -waves-

I would like to bring up something regarding why English remains important in Singapore, regardless of whether China is a rising economy or not.

Even if in the next 1o years, China will be better than USA's economy, we still cannot emphasise it as the language we should use. Do you know what is the purpose of English being used in Singapore? It is not because we were once a British colony (Think Sri Lanka's national language being Sinhala after independence). Rather, it is because it is the linking language amongst the different races in Singapore. English is used basically is because of the fact that it gives no one an advantage over others because we are non-native English speakers.

Even if Mandarin's gonna an important language, it's not going to happen in just 10 years. English will continue to be the most widely used language.

Also, I would like to ask you guys a question: are liannies only bad in English? More often than not, they are bad in both languages. They struggle with BOTH English and Mandarin or their respective mother tongues. If one were to be an epic-failure in English, and also is horribly bad in their mother tongue, where are they going to be? If they decide to not take part in the global competition and stuff, well, I guess go ahead, fail English :D

Okay, that's all folks! Thanks for tuning in!
