Well, lets see. Hmm, I shall blog some sense today. Be prepared that it is some long post.
Oh, dear long post(s), I miss you. xD Haven't been blogging some sense for like 1 year?

Ok. Shall start the long post before it turns longer.

Let's talk about the Amazing Race first. Seriously, after watching the finals, I suddenly feel like joining and participate in it. Imagine.. Winning 1 million dollars, and able to travel round the world. Omg, wouldn't this be so nice? Haha. Well, I didn't watch the first few episode. Just that my father happened to turn into Channel 5 and there was this Amazing Race show. So, I ended up watching it instead of doing Jap. See how influential can the tv be?

To the main point. There were 4 groups of participant left.
Mother and son,
Brother and sister,
Sister and sister
and 2 friends.

And the 4 groups are racing in China. As the brother and sister are from a chinese speaking background, they have literally won half of the race, as they are able to communicate with the locals while the rest could not.

You see, angmohs don't know chinese words. Neither do they know hanyupinyin. So here is the problem. They can't communicate with the Chinese staying there, unless they met some person who is able to speak their language.

So when there are suppose to go to a place in China, the location written on the cluecard is in hanyupinyin/english. Having to board the taxi and get to that place is seriously a headache to them. For example, the Forbidden City.

If you tell the taxi driver, "Forbidden City please." The most possible reaction of them would be a stare. The hanyupinyin of the Forbidden City is ZiJinChen. Tell the driver, "ZiJinChen please." If you are lucky enough, the driver might get some idea of what you are trying to say. Some, still have no idea at all. Caucasian being caucasian. It would be almost impossible for them to pronounce proper chinese, with no 咬字不清.

So, some of them thought of a "better" idea of showing them the cluecard and ask if they know how to get to their destination (cos some have no idea of where it is). Personally, I seriously doubt that this will work. Tell them in english, they don't understand. Whats more showing them english?

This thought came into my mind after reading mc's post and watching the show.

"Our bilingual policy is really the best gift our country has given us."

Being able to speak different languages helps us to communicate with other people. Im sure some other country would admire us, Singaporeans, being bilingual. Being able to converse it two different language in future would help us alot when working, etc.

"The process is difficult but one day, you will look back and be very thankful for that hardship you went through."

So, I have decided. To continue japanes-ing for at least one full year. :D Jiayous! Another half more year.
Next, I shall strive for better grades! :D I miss stars. D: Hopefully, by the end of this year, I can still get an A* for hmt and A for La. Hmt is chemo, thats why its called HIGHERmothertongue.

Anyway, speaking of Jap just know, I was shocked that I didnt' feel like sleeping during lessons. It must be those nice Jap songs of Ai Otsuka. :D Bus trip to moelc is seriously fun with ZhiYan and AhHei and AhHui. xD AhHei, AhHui, AhHei, AhHui. xD

Zah, the results aren't satisfying enough. Flunk them seriously. Well, shan't think about them.

AHHEI, AHHUI! xD Haha.

Oh yea, dear NONO, don't be depressed ok? I have a splendid solution to solve that problem. Come and join MOMO here! :D Haha. 桃 <3 野の :D

Long post eh? Shall stop now. :D
