台客

Just read the new chinese free paper.....not bad...most of the articles have hanyu pinyin of the key words and also the english meaning. i think this is a good way to help us rojak singaporeans master better chinese.

there was an article on Jay Chou that he has broken up with gf Patty Hou....aiyah whats new?....but it seems this time he is really exposed as a playboy cuz now he says he never went out with her before! aiyo......this is bad.....apparently he is now with Hebe from S.H.E and they spend a month in London together. some tw tourist also saw them.

also reported that Jay's mum dun like Patty. When they interviewed Jolin, his ex GF, she commented "perhaps 'never been together' is his pet phrase!".....this is quite sacarstic as he said the same thing when they asked him about jolin when he went out with patty. hahaha.

i guess when u are male, young, rich, successful...you really can get anything u want. some stars when famous really let fame get to their head....sometimes i wonder if its better to be a guy or a girl...seems guys can have more fun......but the only thing is that guys normally have more pressure in society to "achieve" a good career. that can be very stressful.

right now in my office....TGIF....thot tdy i might go down to the PC show cuz i badly need a monitor. monitor have been giving me green and yellow screen for 6 mths...haha...also dunno how i tahan. sigh....tis mth spend a lot liao....and now with monitior , prob another $400 gone. hope there are some good bargains at the show. very sian work on this island....not flexible to go out ....can only wait for the bus at the designated time. in office now, there are 4 gals and 5-6 guys. but so quiet always.....dunno whats wrong with this office?

tend to mix with the secretary more cuz she is bubbly and siow siow. the rest are all around the same age group but just mostly keep to ourselves. hmmm.....i guess in spore there are just too many cliques......too many different back grounds. u could only mix on the surface.

my mum was just telling me about some of her park walking friends.....all of them of aunty type or housewives and they all chit chat in the evening while exercising in the park....although can talk but my mum still feel she is not totally like them cuz they are all chinese educated and 100% chinese speaking. my mum can speak mandarin but still she said the way they think is very different. its different when u are eng or chinese educated. so she can never 100% blend in.
as for the super duper english speaking type, they are very "keep to themselves" type...not so sharing and concern...so in the park only smile smile and then go home.

my mum still feels more comfortable with the group of chinese speaking frens cuz they are more warm but still cannot 100% adjust or be very very close.
sometimes i feel to retain dialect is also advantegeous. cuz no matter u are eng or chinese educated, once you can all speak a common dialect, u really click.
aiyah...anyway...spore i feel is still rojak lah.....our education system, sometimes focus on eng, then now on mother tongue....upside down.

only advantage we have to probably we can watch both eng and chinese movies without any subtitles at any one time! hahaha.
