*buys second-hand textbooks online* I've already located 3 of the four that I need. 8Db They're all cheaper and apparently in good condition too, so if this deal goes through, I'll end up saving about 60 bucks. \o/ Not bad, eh?

There's still one book that I need though - Singapore Company Law Act: Chapter 50. New copies can be bought from Great World City East Tower. Judging by the floor and unit number, I guess it's an office building. Office buildings are cool and HUGE by the way. *A*

Anyway, interacting with the sellers have made me rediscover how a lot of Singaporean netizens type. |D"; Chock full of short hands, and Singlish. u noe, liek dis lah. I can only imagine what they're thinking when they receive an email from me, and see that I'm typing in full sentences and using grammar lmao. -___-" ...at least I use emoticons? Not too rampantly, of course. xD";

I feel more comfortable typing like this though. 8Db It's easier to be understood lmao.

*proceeds to look for the last remaining text material* All I get from Google are actual statute sites and PDF files about the law rofl.

Oh god, it's quite hilarious to read any Singaporean/Malaysian forum. I crack up everytime I do it. XD

Yeah, it's quite entertaining. XDDD Sometimes, a lot of people are just plain rude though. Well, at least now, I've learnt to 'lol' instead of 'RAEG'. XD

Ahaha I'm the same
I can't even type 'chat speak' in texts, which is kinda unpractical since you know, space limits =_=

XDDDD Same here. I think what weirds me out the most is that some people like substituting letters for other symbols in texts, like...löl, wãt u mêan by mï pr0jeçt??? Dunn0e wàt ű tokin about ŵorx. Sliiightly exaggerated, but I did receive a similar message in the past, what with all the abuse of symbols that probably entirely changes the meaning of the words.

Oh gods, that's fucking annoying.
Then I think I prefer chat speak x_x

Rofl yeah. |D I can't do chat speak lmao. D: I always end up typing out the entire word.
