random thoughts....
rite. up til today, i never really knew how much of a banana i just am. when i say banana, i don't mean the fact that i'm totally loaded with potassium minerals, or even the fact that i'm good for your health for i help u avoid constipation or something like that or even FOR the fact that i smell like a banana (i'm being REALLY REALLY lame here..LOL). what i really meant was the fact that i'm yellow on the outside(being a chinese), and being white on the inside(english speaking). in short, i'm a non-speaking chinese chinese.ARGH.
i've had lotsa trouble b4 this going to the kopitiams ordering food and drinks. i always stutter, and end up speaking in english anyway no matter how hard i try to convey the msg across in chinese (cantonese/mandarin). to be really honest here, i am really quite embarassed with the slang i have when i speak aka TRY to speak in chinese. i sound like this, non-chinese speaking chinese. TOTALLY. my pronounciation is just atrocious. no, really.
u know how in chinese, where every pitch or tone of the voice affects the word that u say? (eg. kwai is good, but kwai is also naughty). so at times, when i say one word, i actually meant the other. but luckily it's really obvious that i'm a banana and the other party just laughs it off anyway and doesn't take offense.
to sum it up, i shall attempt at speaking chinese, theoratically anyway. LOL.
AHEM.
ni men hau mah?wo hen hau. wo chai chi fan, hai mei yo chi wan. wo chi chai "computer(????)" na pien. wo to chai chi sen. wo sui to chi tien pan. hen lei mah.
wo de ko hen ke ai. ta de ming chi chiao billy.
rite.now in cantonese.
Lei tei ho mah?ngo ho ho. ngo sek fan "now", mei sek sai. ngo sek hai "compter" ko toh. ngo ""balu"(just) seng fan. ngo fan toh chart tim pun. ho lei mah. ngo geh kau ho tak yi. hei geh ming hai billy.
ok.maybe i'm just not cut out for this language. prolly too long a tongue..or too short a tongue even.hmmm..i gotta appoint someone to teach me the arts and secrets of this language.
anyone????????LOL
til then
suwen..........OUT!!!!!!!!!!!

haha funnynya. some of the words were i guess spelt differently. for a while there i thought you were saying your mouth was cute. but when i read the cantonese versh, it was your dog that was cute.
LOL!!yea...reading it again..i realized it does sound like my 'mouth' was cute or something. but if that's how u read it, ie my mouth being cute, no harm done i guess..LOL...it's cool if my mouth is cute..hahahahah...peace out!
