The boss says I speak Mandarin with an accent. In fact, people always laugh when I speak Mandarin. I should be ashamed of myself right? Nah, I don't really care :) But what's really strange is that when I attempt to speak Hakka, people think I'm speaking Japanese. But that's probably because I'm not Hakka. But I'm not Japanese either.
Am I not making sense? Yeah, I don't think I'm making sense. I've had a long day. Came back at 11.30pm after an after-work meeting with the media core group. I'm tired. But I'm glad for busy days. I love being busy for an entire week, then resting on the weekends. Much better than being busy on alternate days cos that makes the week drag on. I like momentum. I like my days packed. Jayne says I'm a workaholic. I beg to differ.
Has anyone noticed how the major cafes are all serving mandarin orange cheesecakes? I know for a fact that both Coffee Bean and Spinelli's have it. I haven't checked out Starbucks yet. They're yummy but the idea is so overdone. They should do something else. Rooster pies or something. No, I'm kidding. Argh. I need to sleep. I'm spouting nonsense. Or as Mandarin-speaking people like to say, telling "cold jokes". What the heck is a cold joke anyway??? Why do my Mandarin-speaking friends all use that term??? It gives me goosebumps when people translate languages literally. I do that sometimes, but it's just to make people laugh. I'm not that bad in Chinese really. I just pretend I am so that people have something to laugh about. I actually understand what you guys are saying and my literal English translations are really just "cold jokes". Betcha I had you all fooled :) I got an A for Chinese in PSLE ok... don't belittle me, I'm quite Ching Chong too... especially after my last romantic liason. Hahaha... Ok, I really should go to sleep so I won't type rubbish. My thoughts are all over the place now. I'm drifting off to dreamland as I type. Gotta excuse me... I'm...
