In the immortal words of American-Chinese rapper Jin:
Ya’ll gonna learn Chinese
Ok not quite lah, but thanks to the impetus from Blinkymummy and YC of Black Jettas, I’m gonna start mixing it up here. Nothing too cheem, I only did 6 years of Mandarin in primary school afterall. So let’s start the ball rolling …
黄得敏好聪明啊!
Huang de min hao cong ming a!

oh! did u catch his Tsunami Response to some black DJ’s ill-conceived Tsunami Song which mocked the Asian tsunami victims in a very bad taste?
No man - I go Google now. Thanks for the headsup.
One request - can you please include the hanyu pinyin? Me cannot recognise, let alone, pronounce the characters. =)
starry: Ok! Let me go edit this post now.
黄得敏好用功哦！

BM: 好的!
starry: correct! eh you not bad ah!
yc: 你比我厉害！佩服佩服。;)
yay! do I get a gold star?
Only reason why I know bits of Chinese is that it was the only mother tongue offered at the kindergarten near my place at the time. Heh.
starry: so luck and circumstance played a part.
当你妈妈是只会中文的台湾人， you have no choice but to speak mando. Circumstances force you to learn.
yc: orh I see I see. Aren’t you glad to have such cultural diversity in your upbringing though? I find it very fascinating myself. Personally, dad is Hokkien but his mom is Hakka; mom is Teochiew but grew up speaking Hokkien due to being in Penang. Me - being born and raised in KL I picked up Cantonese, and Mandarin from school. On top of that English and Malay - tho that has deteriorated badly.
So are you going to start writing Chinese posts now? That would be cool, but does that mean we have to comment in Chinese as well? *ponders her poor Mandarin writing skills*
