Hello. I am interested in and am doing research on Singaporean language youth, street and college slang for a project I'm working on.
I'd like to know-what are Singaporean slang terms and expressions for:
tomboy-a girl that likes to do "guy" things?
Besides:
aka lelaki
tomboi?
Are the terms, "tombou" ,"token girl" ,"pengkik" ,"pengkid", and "lakin-on" terms I have seen used for "tomboy" used in Singapore?
Please let me know and please list as many Singaporean slang terms and expressions as possible. Thank you. :D

Ah Lian is street name for gangster ger.
Ah Hua is a more femine gangster ger.
Ah Bang is street name for gangster.
Ah Seng is street name for idling gangster.
If you are saying cross dresser, I can think of butch~ or lesi (for lesibian).
Tomboy is used in Singapore to identify girls that are more boyish in behaviour (cannot be used on butch~ or lesi - tomboy's sexual preference are still towards boys/male).
