  Normally I will speak mandarin with friends but below are exception:
  
  At home, I speak hokkiew.
  With malay friends or non-chinese, it will be singlish.
  Working life it will be simple english.

  well i speak english most of the time. but if the time calls for me to speak in a different language then i will. my 2nd language is mandarin. 3rd chinese dialects and 4th malay, last would be tamil. as for tamil i can only understand but cnat speak. its kinda difficult to learn how to speak tamil once u speak mandarin.
