Maybe. Perhaps. See How.
Possibly. Likely. I'll think about it.

Words that can be very useful in life. I was scolded by a friend once, who always tried to jio me out but always gets the response "see how lah" from me. You see, I am quite impromptu one. I feel like doing something, I will do it. Don't feel like, then don't do. Don't really like making detailed plans ahead of time, especially plans that have to do with how I use my time.

Maybe is especially useful if you are unsure about facts. Maybe it is open, maybe Christina's doesn't have chocolate raspberry today, maybe courts are booked.

See how is especially useful when you are unsure what you want to do with your time. Whether you want to sleep or go out. Whether you want to play sports (because legs aching).

Possibly is especially useful when you don't want to make people feel that you don't want to hang out with them, but you really just want to slack at home. Possibly has a positive connotation to it, maybe because it starts with P. (See, the argument for Maybe fits in here)

The important thing to note about "I'll think about it" is that it s commonly used when you don't intend to think about that it yet. It is a phrase used for procrastination, but somehow it makes some people think that you are a rational, practical, realistic, careful planner type of person.

Although this entry so far makes it seem like the use of these words is no good, there is great skill involved in discerning whether a person really means "see how" when he or she says "see how". Or sometimes when someone uses all of the words in one consecutive phrase, it might mean something different too. If you don't like it when your friend says "see how", you must ask "see what how?" with a thick singlish accent. If your friend continues to say "see how lor" too many times, you are then permitted to say "fine. suan le."

I love talking about things we did when we are young. Stupid games played, real cartoons watched, make-believe stories, lies our parents tell us, what we wanted to be when we grow up, what we believed of the world. It's almost like talking about another world, in another time.
Sometimes you end up talking about things that you realize your friends also did. Like playing Alley Cat or watching GI Joe. Then it makes you feel like you all share some small little secret that only cool people know about. Next thing you end up doing is wikipedia-ing or googling it. I always spend a lot of time doing such things (notice, I didn't say "I always waste......").
