mandarin mandarine mandarin mandarine mandarin
haih. i tot i told u english not important ma. don't u think mandarin with an E looks better? like colours is better than color. right?
so pathetic la wei. kiasu-ness man. yala my english sucks therefore i need to convince all of u. really, thats what i really think. bcz im taking too much time correcting my grammar when i blog.
heehee..
English very important ah?? I don't think so. WAIT. Just read on.
English is considered an international language. Yes! We would normally strike a conversation with english unless they looked jakun or u heard them speaking in their own tongues(language). We have been taught that english is important for everything in life. For example, job application. If you're well verse in english, others may look highly on you and you may stand a higher chance of getting employed. I'm amazed how some ppl can write so well. So well that often i would have to read 3 to 4 times to get the message.
Not many ppl can speak english especially at the school where i am currently doing my degree. Even at work. At first, i would use english when i'm in contact with strangers in person or on the phone. However, most of them cannot understand. Then, i have to match other languages with the ppl im meeting or calling before hand.
Lets say i wanna call someone up to check on prices of light bulbs. I would go
Hello? ---[NAME]---ah? Irena ah...Terra Kitchen(if they dun remember me/first time calling)
see? all not english ma. Just names. Then they start talking in whatever language then only i'll converse with them. Most of the time i would speak cantonese, mandarine or bahasa to them. Seldom i would use english, made me alien. hah!
So, should we spend too much time on learning a foreign language? (debate question on world speaker championship, China) I'm not denying that english is essential or it should be abolish from our syllabus. I think having a good command in english is sufficient. Parents used to pressured their children to master english causing them to abandon other mother tongues. That's why most of the teenagers or young adults are stripped off from one of their original traits.
so i think most importantly, it is good enough when u understand what the text book and internet is all about and other ppl can understand u, does not really matter what language u speak. In fact, does not matter how well ur english is, as long as u make sense. Yea?
Now ah, since China is coming up like a hibernating dragon, everyone is trying to take up mandarine!! Thinking that one day they would be sent to china to discuss a multimillion project. What a joke.
Aren't we lucky? if u cannot speak english and mandarine, u still have bahasa mer.
ngek ngek ngek
Been a different year end. Done so many abnormal stuff. Haha,,i mean im doing stuff that ppl dun do everyday.
1. Planning for wedding. Not mine. Gotta look through wedding cards, searching for bible verses and googling for printing templates, picking songs and all..gosh i need to book the nail artist for the photo shooting man. Woman like to do this kinda stuff. I enjoy doing it but when im reminded that it isn't my wedding, and it isnt my dream man, its just so sad. I think i need to look for a rich guy so that i can hire a wedding planner to do all this for me. Otherwise its just a me and him wedding..lolz and God. He's gonna be there uninvited anyway.
2. Gluing tiles. Been running over to the hardware shop so often that the owner knows me very well. The tiles fell off so need to glue it back. Like squeezing cream to decorate cake. Fun.
3. You like presentations??? i have alot of these. but im listening to presentations on rocks and plastic..haha..granite and marble and quartz and acrylic.
4. Accounts. Preparing for year end. I think book keeping is just boring. It's like copying whatever on the statement to exel. Finally making sure of what u copied is exactly what is on the statement. what use is that?? U might not know, we dun take cash, so its kinda stupid la. If we do take cash, then it'll be more challenging. XD
the only thing that never change is that every year, when im off from school, i'll join my sister's cell, and they have to talk about preparation for christmas party. Which reminds me, Christmas is coming. Presents anyone?
Stay cool till my return *winks
Reading magazines can be boring too. Yeah, if u read it like a text book. So i was just checking out some mag in the showroom office and i almost ter-sleep!! I didnt know browsing a mag can be so boring. Its like studying for exams, i've gotta pay alot of attention on the colour combination, materials, cabinetry, style and how to design certain types of weird shaped kitchen. SERIOUSLY, designing is not me. and i knew that.
On the other hand, if u read a text book like a storybook, u'll find it interesting. One nite i was bunking in with my fren, then i browse her cabinet which shelf her textbook. There is this very interesting looking book titled "creativity". Plus a red cover made me pick it up. Then..
She: "wow, u're actually reading it."
Me: "yeah, kinda interesting. No?"
She: "I suppose so. Mayb its because u're not taking it as a text book."
Me: "huh?? its a text book?? omg, im reading a text book and its interesting."
i still find it interesting after knowing that's a text book. haha..
anyway, i nvr really read magazines. Reading fashion magazines makes me self conscious. Not that its not good, but i find it disturbing. Its like hving constant auto-remind on the out dated cloths u own yet not hving the cash to get those in style. thats so depressing isn't it? Why waste so much of time and money on stuff like that?
psst..i plan to invest with my salary in shares next year. hehe :D
Open the eys of my heart, Lord
Open the eys of my heart
I want to see You
I want to see You
Open the eyes of my heart, Lord
Open the eyes of my heart
I want to see You
I want to see You
To see You high and lifted up
Shining in the light of Your glory
Pour out Your power and love
As we sing holy, holy, holy
Holy, holy, holy
Holy, holy, holy
Holy, holy, holy
I want to see You
Holy, holy, holy
Your are holy, holy, holy
Jesus is holy, holy, holy
I want to see you
Classic praise from Paul Baloche. Reminds me so much of the moment, the romantic persue, the gentle wait for my acceptance.
Then, i fell in love. Still in love. Always will be in love.
...is harder to win back than a fortified city Prov18:19
It is said that to win back a person’s friendship, trust and love is much much harder than a defended city. Win back it is. It’s not like he is a stranger that u are trying to build a relationship, but a friend to reconcile. Sometimes our self-centeredness may cost us of the trust and friendship we have for one another. Often, we would try to never hurt our friends because we know they are treasures. Once we lose them, we never have them back.
Our family, to most of us, is our advisor, comforter and friend. We love them most abundantly comparing to those of our friend. Nevertheless, we let our mindless words and action cause the gap between us. Usually we wouldn’t fill the crack we made between ourselves taking for granted that time will do its job. Now that’s because we know perfectly that we have their unconditional love and forgiving is not an option. So when we are unkind, we know that they'll still be there the next morning. Therefore we hurt them unconsciously and heartlessly.
The good thing is, since they know us like forever now, it’s easier for them to understand why we act or REACT the way we do. So they can love us again despite of our unreasonable..whatever..haha..well well, you must be guessing that I did something unkind rite? Yea I did, no need to guess. Even so, it’s still hard for me to say --I’m sorry.
*singing: sorry seems to be the hardest word...Anyway, I don’t know, u might not have the kind of family background as ideal as u imagine. You don’t have to resent or blame sky-man(GOD). You can let go and learn to love yourself and others too. You are not lucky enough to be born in such a family, but you have the opportunity to create THE ideal family. Allow your children the opportunity to live in a good family background and at the same time, give yourself a chance to build one.*winks
Love yourself so that others know how to love you. *draw a heart*
