Chingrish (2)

About a dozen fun people responded to my earlier Chingrish poser. Thanks again. Since it was so much fun (at least for me) and it's April Fool's Day today, I have come up with a 2nd poser here:


I can't give too many clues to this one as it will give the game away. I can only say that I saw it today somewhere in the east coast of Singapore. There were only 3 English words as shown in the above photo. The other words were in Chinese.

At first, I thought that the words had a literal meaning - teaching people how to become entrepreneurs, toeing the Government's policy of turning more Singaporeans into the likes of Sim Wong Hoo. (Despite much encouragement from the Government, this policy, like the "have more babies" policy, apparently has not been very successful so far. You can't really blame Singaporeans. Starting a business is not without its attendant risks and Singaporeans are generally known for being risk averse. If for whatever reason a business fails, our laws can be quite unforgiving.)

If you thought that the 3 words were from a "marketer and publicist" just like Walter, then sorry, you are also wrong.

That's two down for you so it should be easier to guess. Your job is to guess what the writer of those 3 words had intended them to mean. (Another clue, which should be clear by now, is the obvious meaning of the phrase is not the right answer.) Please read the "Terms & Conditions" below before submitting your guesses. The answer will be revealed in 5 days' time. As usual, winners will be awarded virtual prizes. Have fun guessing and Happy April Fool's Day.

Terms & Conditions

1. Anonymous guesses are not allowed. Anon1, Anon2, Anon3, etc are considered anonymous. So are Just Passing By, Just Browsing, Anyone, Someone, Somebody, Nobody, Noone, Noname, HorseWithNoName, ManWithNoName, Linlaobeh, Linpeh, Me, I or anything similar.

2. Each person can submit only one guess. Although you can submit more than one guess under different names, I seriously can't figure out why anyone would want to do that unless he/she is desperate for a virtual prize. (This rule applies especially to Chris.)

3. This is meant to be a fun post for fun people. If you don't find it fun, please don't guess. Better still, don't visit my blog. Go away, you are on a different wavelength with me. You've hopped to the wrong blog.

4. If you don't like your award, simply don't claim it. Under no circumstances should you utter expletives in whatever language, whether in revenge or in frustration. Personally, I can take it but please understand that this is a family blog - there may be young children reading my blog without seeking parental consent.

5. Never apply any pressure, subtle or otherwise, on the blog owner to come up with the next poser. This is not a regular series as this type of poser is "by chance" only. I don't make a living out of this, okay?
