Mandarin

Having to answer mandarin calls is a pain in the ass. Pure evil I tell you............... having to go through that 4 TEDIOUS step procedure on a daily basis...

Step 1 : Listening in mandarin
Step 2 : Translating the entire convo back to english
Step 2 : Thinking of a reply in english
Step 4 : TRYING to translate in back into mandarin to relate to the caller

Like stumbling over the words ain't enough english is basically being "subtly" injected into the convo..

HELP!

I'm starting to think that this language is all out to kill.... me anyway.

As what Lm, Jas, Shiya and Anna call me... your typical "kentang" or "potato" if you please. At times like this I kinda wished I had alittle more mandarin incorporated into my life.

No wonder the uncle decided to move the entire family to Aussie... the lucky lucky kids...... :(

'Hua Yu' cool? Hmmm somehow I beg to differ....
