Woah, my 200th blog post. Since it’s the double zeros, I’mma make this a happy post. ahahaha! Rare, huh? Anyways, just got back home and it’s about to hit a new day. A tiring day indeed, but I’ve learnt alot from today’s exhibition event. Smiling may seem to be the easiest job to do but babe was it tough. I think I may have sprained a nerve somewhere. No kidding.
Speaking mandarin was one of my biggest fears. Have yet to overcome that. Not that I am afraid to make a mistake but it takes a whole lot of confidence to speak an alien language. It’s not easy to fit in, especially if you’re a chinese, the moment a word of english comes out from your mouth, you’ll be stereotype and cast aside. Calling you a “guai lo”. When you try your best to speak mandarin in a chinese society, honestly there will be an accent, no matter how hard you try. I’ve tried countless times to hide the fact that I can’t speak mandarin, but of course was busted no matter.
Gods, tsk tsk tsk. I sat through 2 hours, hearing my family talk about religions, faith, wisdom, gods and the power. I can’t beat their words as the saying goes “ I eat more salt than you do”. Ahahaha I don’t think that’s a real saying but it’s the best that I could make of. So yeah, working on an interesting assignment. Much creativity needed and I don’t think I am the best person for it. But we’ve gotta do what we’ve gotta do right?
I’ve just heard the wind howling. Freaking horrifying. Scared the heck out of me! Forgive me for loving horror stories yet don’t have the heart to handle the fear.
Anyways my toothpick is about to break into pieces anytime soon. Shall call it a night. Cheerios! : )))
