(Note: only for those who understands straits hokkien!)

Chap Goh Meh, cheah lu eh kuli lai lim teh (drink tea)..
Teh seoh seoh, kia lor ki bei kin chieo (buy banana)..
Kin chieo beah ki pek, kia lor ki bei chek (buy book)..
Chek beah ki thak, kia lor ki bei bak (buy ink)..
Bak beah ki buah, kia lor ki bei chua (buy snake)..
Chua beah ki liak, kia lor ki bei ka kiak (buy clog)..
Ka kiak beah ki cheng, kia lor bei kah ling (buy bracelet)..
Ka ling chee, ka ling poh..

Chee toh heah, chiak kam cheah (eat sugar cane)..
Kam cheah tee, chiak leng chee (eat lychee)..
