OKAY! This post is by a Singaporean for Singaporeans or people that have been living in/live in Singapore. (In bold are the ones that apply to me)
Quoted from Facebook Groups:
A few signs you've been in singapore too long:
1. You don't see anything wrong with putting chili on everything you eat
2. Your idea of a good night consists of going to a hawker center, eating, drinking tiger beer, then going to another hawker to eat and drink again.
3. You would buy a $20 product you don't need on sale for $10 to save the money
4. "Crossing the country" means taking the mrt to the end of the line
5. You think corn and beans are dessert food
6. Most or all of these acronyms make sense to you: NUS; NTU; ERP; SDU; PAP; MRT; LKY; GCT; PRC; TIBS; SBS; SMS; JB; JBJ; AMK; AYE; PIE; ECP; ISD; ISA; 5 C's; CPF; CHIJMES; SPG; CWO; HV.
7. You use too many acronyms when you talk.
8. You think that $100,000 is a reasonable price for a Toyota Corolla and $1,000,000 is a reasonable price for a bungalow, but $5 for a plate of fried noodles is a barbarous outrage.
9. You know that Asian food outside of Asia is shite.
10. You have a naive belief that the war against ants will be won
11. You believe the government's justifcation for every action is substantial. (In order for us to be competitive in the 21st century...)
12. You think everything should be 'topped up'
13. You wear winter clothes indoors and summer clothes outdoors.
14. You think paying $50 bucks for a bottle of booze that costs $15 at home is a bargain.
15. You get irritated if you don't see a sign telling you how long your wait's going to be for a bus, a train, or the expressway to take you where you want to go.
16. You're certain that Holland Village is for hippie bohemian artist types and not overpaid yuppies.
17. When you cross the border into Malaysia you automatically and deeply fear for your life and your wallet.
18. No matter what you're doing at the moment, you'd rather be shopping.
19. You're impressed by high-rise apartment buildings with actual lobbies instead of bare exposed pillars on the ground floor.
20. You forgot what chewing gum tastes like.
21. You think chicken floss, corn, mayonnaise, and tandoori spices are proper pizza toppings
22. You think a bus is incomplete without a TV
23. You accept that expressways here are cleaner than toilets rather than the other way around.
NEXT!!!
You know you are from/in Singapore when:

7) You pronounce and spell stuff the Brit way
8) You pick up the trash after missing the rubbish bin
9) You say rubbish bin and not trash can
10) You end ALMOST every sentence with a 'lah'/'lor'/'hor' and everything looks much better with 'x's and 'z's (right horxxzzz?)
11) You understand all the references in www.talkingcock.com (and find the site funny)
12) You're intimidated by the thought of a 45 minutes to drive to the nearest mall.
13) You're shocked that your ez-link doesn’t work at Mcdonald's around the world
14) People ask you what you speak at home and you say 'uhh...'
15) You are able to communicate in plethora of languages & dialects
16) Swearing in numerous languages & dialects is natural
17) You know that Newton Circus serves up shit food, but still go there anyway
18) You “chope” seats at food courts/hawker centers with little tissue packets
19) You've sung the national anthem since you were in primary 1 and still have no idea what it really means
20) There's always a traffic jam near a vehicle accident 'cause everyone slows down to copy numbers for 4D
21) You start using abbreviations for everything, such as ERP, PIE, MRT, SBS, SMS, CTE, IPPT, NCC, SOC(army word)...... and many more.
22) You look at someone (when you’re overseas) and a 6th sense tells you that they’re from Singapore too
23) Someone asks for the time and your innate response is: “IT’S TIGER TIME!!!” *rawr*
