About This Design
Singapore Singlish - Bo Jio - No Invite, No Banana Magnet
"Bo jio" literally means "no invite", and is commonly used in Singlish (Colloquial Singaporean English) meaning "Why didn't you invite me to go". It is derived from the Hokkien (a southern Fujian Chinese dialect) pronunciation of "没招". Funnily, it has the same pronunciation in Hokkien as "没蕉", where the "蕉" means "banana". In this case, "没蕉" literally means "no banana".
Therefore, this design is a pun on the words "bo jio", usually used in the context of "why never invite me go", but could also mean what has been graphically drawn - "no banana". Great as a souvenir gift from Singapore!

Great size, designed it all online and it was exactly as I designed it. Great sharp and clear image
Arrived very quickly. I wished the photo was slightly brighter however this is how it was on the website when designing so it’s true to the design
