marcv81··on Five languages that came from English
There are past tenses but modals tend to be used instead of conjugation. "I have eaten" => "I eat oready" or "I makan liao"

You are spot on with your description.

Americans will understand Singaporeans because English is the main language in both countries. Singlish is a separate language, and the article describes it somehow accurately. It is not mutually intelligible with English (Brits or Americans can't understand it), but most native Singlish speakers are Singaporeans who also speak English.

If this is the problem then virtualenv is a better solution. Now that I think about it it could be useful on platforms where Ansible is not available (Windows?).

A few more comments: you could use pip instead of apt-get for an up-to-date version of Ansible, and you may want to create a Virtualbox share to access the project from the Ansible VM. Also does it actually work? I'm asking because I can't see anything to sort out the SSH credentials.

Great start! You'll find out the Ansible VM serves no real purpose as you can install Ansible on the host. Also you could use a YML config file to define your environment. And you should have a look at dynamic inventory scripts.
