新年快乐！！ 万事如意。。！！
It's CNY..!! 新年快乐！！ 恭喜发财！！what else? ermm.. 红包一个来? 哈哈！！
Alright..!~ just finished helping my mum preparing the red packets for my Malaysian Relatives.. yeah tmr or rather later i'm gonna see them... but at the same time think i'll be stoning over there... my cousins and i used to play games and running arn in my ah-ma house but now we have already grown up.. ya.. so my nephews and nieces.. (my cousins' children) will be the ones tt spice up the atmosphere in the house... haha.. Anyway.. i find CNY is getting boring.. even the angbao don't seem to be attractive anymore... if i have a choice, i don't mind staying at home... To me it is just like any other public holidays... then again, it's gd to see them once in awhile as i don't get to see them tt often.. oh well.. contradicting hur..>?!
Ytd went swimming with khai yau.. the whole street was kinda quiet.. coffeshop closed.. shopping mall "half-awake"... yah...!!~ i wondering what the indians, malays and others will be doing during these two days.. hmm..!~~
On tues, i read the new paper which had a report on some of the taiwanese celebrities mocking at Singaporean English.. Saying on National TV tt Singaporean speak English in a "weird" manner... i was like wth.. can the majority of the taiwanese speak better english than us? i doubt so.. yah? So i went to youtube and searched for that "mocking" segment.. yah.. it was damn bloody irritating... i couldn't stand it..!!! if people doesn't speak like the way u do, that doesn't mean their english is weird.. i mean you don't say tt on national tv right?
click on the links below...
There was this part when tt botak guy said that Singaporean pronounce "Thanks" as "Dance"... erm... i mean these 2 words are totally different.. he himself admitted tt his english standard isn't good.. and if u watch the whole show, he can't even understand or speak simple english and yet he dares to make such comment.. omg..!~ i think a pri sch kid can speak better than him.. and yah.. Singaporeans don't pronounce "Sorry" like an "Ah Gua"!!
There was also a part where the other guy who was a tour guide said tt Singaporeans pronounce "Uncle" and "Aunties" as "Ankle" and "An-Ties".. wth... i've been in Singapore since i was born.. i have never heard anyone pronounces "Uncle" as "Ankle"...
There was also an English teacher on the show said that she doesn't understand what was one of the our immigration officer was saying when he asked her if she was "Pregnant"... i mean every countries has their own accent... and her arrogant way of correcting the way tt guy pronounced "Pregnant" really bloOdy piss me off...
Oh yah.. this is the blog of that pathetic English teacher haha.. Do read those comments when you are free.. pretty interesting.. http://tw.myblog.yahoo.com/rubyatnews98/guestbook She did apologize in her blog... Anyway based on her writing on her blog, her English isn't that fantastic as what i would expect from an English teacher who dares to "mock" at other country way of speaking English... wahaha... btw my english also "half-pail" standard... definitly cannot be compared to that Taiwanese English teacher... but i'm sure that i can speak way better than those celebrities on that show..!! wahaha..!!!!
