In looking up how to get to my interview destination using the public transport system, I caused some consternation with herself when I pronounced "Tampines" as tam-pines. I guess 99% of Ang Mohs (Caucasians) would do the same, but they'd be wrong!
The actual pronunciation is tamp-in-ees and when I enquired how the hell I was supposed to know that, it didn't cut much ice with herself. I must point out Drogheda or Graiguenamanagh on a map and get her to pronounce them to gain revenge!!!!
