My dialect is Hokkien and I am proud of it.. But I must admit that my Hokkien sucks.. Big time..

I went down to Bernard's house to take something just now. As I was feeling rather tired and LAZY, i decided to take a cab. The moment I stepped into the car, the uncle asked me in Hokkien. "Go where"? I replied, "Upper Paya Lebar". The next thing he asked me, in Hokkien was, "Have you eaten"? I was taken aback as I never expected him to be so friendly. So I replied in Hokkien saying that I have eaten. So there he goes in Hokkien again.. "Sigh, eat too much also cannot, later indigestion. But eat too little also not enough to fill my stomach". I laughed at his thoughts but at the same time, I was thinking.. "Do I really look Hokkien to you"?? I tried my best to strike up a conversion in proper Hokkien, but it came out in tattered ones. Finally I gave up. So he spoke in Hokkien and I replied in Chinese. Fortunately, it was a short journey. Bottomline is.. I am still proud to be a Hokkien-ese!!
