Thank you for sharing the trilingual mix of Singlish, English, and Mandarin. It's great that we can easily switch to proper English and Mandarin when needed. I appreciate your authenticity as a Singaporean KZbinr. It's refreshing to see someone being genuine rather than putting on fake accents. Your authenticity (with some lame humor😂) will surely attract more viewers. 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻 加油。

[@seank6759]

Do you know why they call it 书城 (Book City) but the characters on the building are 百胜楼 (100 Wins Building)？It's bacause 书 (Book) sounds the same as with 输 (losing). And they updated the name for prosperity purpose.

[@HongisBored]

I’ve heard this explanation before but according to zaobao’s interview with a shop owner there, that’s not the case. 百胜楼 was there before 书城 as a 谐音 from bras Basah. Can search Zaobao article with keywords ‘书城书店稀疏 百胜楼没认输’
