Flicking through Ian's mostly 'tetno' music collection, I commented on his evident beng tastes.

Ian: "Actually at heart, I'm a beng. I just tak a lot of ang moh chek only."

Elaborating on the theme, he went on,

"Wa eh sim si ah beng.
Wa eh nao si tak LSE.
Mai ga lim peh wax lyrical.
Wa ma eh hiao."

My friend Ian is a potential king of one-liners. Consider:-

In a discussion on bad boys, their charm, and their heart-breaking ways:

"I'm not dangerous when I'm charming. I'm dangerous when I'm candid. And I'm candid all the time."

Oooooooh.

And when I busted my ankle,

"How do you know how to treat it?"
"Got lump just rub lah."

One surmises that this practical approach must have served him well in other *ahem* less innocent situations.
