My bestie is gonna laugh at this...

The last time I hung out with my bestie, We were speaking in New Zealand accent. Singing their national anthem, singing 'God difin New Zilin'. Writing with a pin instead of a pen.

The most dirty would be my deck/dick joke. After that, I realized that South African speaks in similar accent. Ixpict instead of expect.

Not a big surprise though. Both South Africa and New Zealand have somewhat similar culture. Particularly rugby. That's how I learn  to sing Aotearoa/God defend New Zealand and Nkosi sikelel iAfrika/Die stem van Suid-Afrika. Bokke vs All Blacks. I can sing both song quite well. Ask my bestie. She knows.

There are South African living in New Zealand and vice versa. The one I wouldn't forget is a South African Psychiatrist murdering his wife with insulin in New Zealand. An article on Reader's Digest.

Another evidence on South African New Zealander. South Africa makes up the 5th largest source of immigrant and the 4th largest South African diaspora is in New Zealand.

So both countries must have been good buddies, rugby rival, both with beautiful national anthem.

I've been blabbing a lot about SA and NZ, not to the main agenda.

I was answering a quiz, in which the quiz would predict you English dialect using their algorithm.

My result

A closer look

And there it is, from their algorithm, my English dialect is New Zealandish, South African and Singaporean. I can sing all 3 national anthem, the 2 aforementioned and Majulah Singapura.

And one of my crazy dream is to sing The NZ anthem and SA anthem in a rugby match. I meant both anthem in 1 match*. Since I'm neither South African nor New Zealander, I can sing both? I better ask the rugby union.

Well the best rendition of South African anthem is

More on South African national anthem in my previous entry 'Nkosi Sikelel iAfrika' on 14th November.

Jay du Plessis and Katlego Maboe, both South African. I reckon most South African, Australian and New Zealander are familiar with each other's national anthem. Katlego also sings Advance Australia Fair very well. (Katlego is also a TV host, espresso) Thanks to Tri Nations

It's just funny how the algorithm works. Almost accurate. What surprises me is NZ and SA surpass the Singaporean. Well, I used to have Singaporean English reference book. Back then, Singaporean English syllabus was a craze. Every tuition centre teach Singaporean English. Yes, every! So 'kiasu'.

*Yup, literally. I sleep talk. One night my mother heard me singing these national anthem. The next day she told me that I sleep-sang in a foreign language. When I told her it's probably, NZ or SA anthem, she said "Aren't their national anthem English? Your song doesn't sound English"
