                      I vaguely recall hearing from 933 that the word '乐龄' (retirees) is local creation


                      yes coined by singaporeans.

                        gone for just a day and :yikes: to see so many local terms coined by us.


                        was only thinking of the english and chinese version but never realise how great our dialects are.
