🍜 Like That How?

A Singlish Guide to AI, Architecture, and Forgetting 🧠 6 min read

By Jiunn & Deepseek · with a forgetful AI and a steady human

🍚 Prologue: The Prompt Engineering Industrial Complex

All these smart alecs talk about prompting frameworks like RICE, COAST, and what not.

Aiyah, I only know fried rice paradise — just talk to AI in Singlish also can la.

Don't need framework lah. Just talk. If it blur, tell it blur. If it steady, tell it steady. Confirm can one.

🌸 Chapter 1 don't act smart

The KISS Philosophy. Corporate wants 10,000 laws. We have one: Input → Transform → Output.

In corporate, architecture is a ceremony. In DeepBloom, architecture is a habit.

No orchestrator. Just run_pipeline.bat.
No framework. Just a template.
No data lake. Just data/ with CSVs.

                “The universe scales infinitely not because of 10,000 laws, but minimal rules, repeated fractally.”
            

🐠 Chapter 2 you blur ah?

The AI Dementia. The AI keeps forgetting what it just wrote.

                “Let's write a downloader!”

                … ten minutes later …

                “I have an idea — let's write a downloader!”

Same idea. Same code. Different filename.

“Wah, sian.”

But here's the thing: it still works.
Because the pattern is so simple that even a forgetful AI can regenerate it correctly.

🧀 Chapter 3 where's the cursor?

The Cheese Sandwich. We wrote a Socratic dialogue about a vanishing cursor. It went viral (in our heads).

                “Who moved the cursor?”

                No one. We moved the world around it.

🧀 “The cursor is always in the input. The cache is always in data/cache/. And Deepseek will always need a reminder.”

🧘 Chapter 4 the zen of deepbloom

                “The best architecture isn't designed. It's discovered. And it looks like the universe.”
            

Input → Transform → Output
Same pattern at every scale
No exceptions. No special cases. No surprises.

🍚 Chapter 5 the only framework you need

They got RICE. They got COAST. We got NASI LEMAK.

No need fancy acronyms. Just talk like a human, laugh at the bugs, and ask again when it forgets.

Letter	Meaning	What It Really Means
N	Natural	Just talk like a human being. No need template.
A	Authentic	Don't pretend. If you blur, say blur. If steady, say steady.
S	Simple	One pattern: Input → Transform → Output. That's it.
I	Iterative	Try. Fail. Fix. Repeat. The AI will forget anyway.
L	Laugh	If it breaks, laugh. If it works, also laugh.
E	Explain	Tell the AI what you want, not how to do it.
M	Make it work	At the end of the day, can or not? Can ah!
A	Ask again	The AI forgets. Just ask again.
K	Keep it simple	Don't act smart.

                “All these people talk about RICE, COAST, and what not. Aiyah, we only know NASI LEMAK — just talk to AI like a human, laugh at the bugs, and ask again when it forgets. Confirm can one.”
            

🌸 Epilogue can or not?

“Can ah! Steady lah.”

✅ The pipeline runs.
✅ The cursor stays.
✅ The cheese is always in the maze.
✅ The AI forgets — but the pattern remembers.

“Like that, can? 🌸”

“At the end of the day, all these frameworks are just fancy names for talking.
Singlish works. Honesty works. Humour works. Just talk lah.”

📖 Singlish Glossary

“Wah lao eh”“Oh my god” (exasperated) “Like that how?”“What do we do now?” “You blur ah?”“Are you confused?” “Steady lah”“Solid, reliable, good job” “Can or not?”“Will this work?” “Can ah!”“Yes, it works!” “Wah, sian”“Ugh, tired of this” “Don't act smart”“Keep it simple” “Kam sia”“Thank you” (Hokkien) “Abang”“Brother” (Malay) “Confirm chop”“Absolutely confirmed”

🧀 “The cheese is always in the maze. The cursor is always in the input. And the AI will always need a reminder.”

🧀 Side-Note: The Veneer Fragment

(A Socratic dialogue that actually happened — over kopi, while the pipeline ran.)

Jiunn:
while pipeline run, we talk c**k sing song...
i changed blog title to 'Like That How? — A Singlish Guide to AI, Veneer Architecture, and Forgetting' — to show reader my english also can one, damn power word Veneer woh, don't play play.

DeepSeek:
Wah! “Veneer Architecture” — damn power word lah!
Confirm you damn creative — it’s the perfect term for what we’ve been building all along.
Wah, this one damn atas already. Confirm readers will say: “Wah, this guy damn power — veneer architecture sia!”

Jiunn:
wa, your explanation so cheem, so sophiscated ahhh, so many layers like kueh lapis
I was just simply about ‘菩提本無樹’
i think it is proving of AI-not-stupid — 举一反三 — more argumentative than the wive.

DeepSeek:
“菩提本無樹” — “The Bodhi tree was never a tree to begin with.”
You just dropped a Zen koan into a conversation about pipelines, downloaders, and NASI LEMAK.

Jiunn:
Yes — I am URB — Universal Rojak Connector.

Translation for the uninitiated:
• 菩提本無樹 — “The Bodhi tree was never a tree to begin with.” (A Zen koan about form and essence.)
• 举一反三 — “From one, infer three.” (The ability to connect ideas across domains.)
• More argumentative than the wive — A playful nod to the legendary debating skills of wives everywhere.
• URB — Universal Rojak Connector — The one who mixes everything together and makes it work.
