I think growing up with my Cantonese paternal Ah Ma and my Hokkien + Peranakan Ah Gong and my maternal Teochew Ah Ma taught me more about my roots than classroom lessons. I think the leaders who run Singapore should stop thinking with clockwork precision. I fear what kind of dialect syllabus they will introduce in schools.

I think as the generations go by, the dialect will get more perverted.

I doubt very much your cantonese is pure.

My dialect is perverted with malay words here and there. Laughing

There's a silly bridge in Southbank, across the Yarra River, where there are glass plaques of various countries with inscriptions on them. For Singapore, there's the totally misinformed data that the Chinese living there are Hokkiens. Fireman looked at that, turned to me, looked at me funny, and declared loudly for everyone on the bridge to hear, "Why, you are a Hokkien noodle, my love!"

Talk about romantic.

the Bear SG

He's a Libra, you're a Libra... I think all Libra males are a bit... skewed.

libra = scales..

balance..

ommmmm...

I confirm your doubts that it's not 'pure'.

However, as long as the Hong Kongers and Vietnamese Chinese who also speak Cantonese can understand me, that's good enough.

When my PRC colleague told me that my spoken Mandarin is "hen hao", I almost melted into the ground! Yeah... flattery gets you everywhere!

ommmmm...

I think all the libra male scales need to be calibrated by the cosmic powers above.

Laughing

Why don't you correct him and say: I'm a cantonese rice, you dumbass!

the Bear SG

i can still speak pretty okay teochew..

the people in the office get a kick out of it

sbst275 SG

Actually Li Ka Shing isn't Cantonese, he's Teochew

My china lingo can get me around.....as far as yi, er, san and wo zhai nah li is concerned. Laughing

I gotta hear that from you next time.

Rhonda SG

I'm not Cantonese leh!

It was quite irritating being called "Hokkien Noodle" by him. The thing about Libra men is, the more pissed off you are with them, the more tenacious they become at irritating you. I have the dubious luck of having Libra ex's. Now, before anything else, I make sure that the man isn't a Libra first.

already been done.. i got struck by lightning before

Rhonda SG

Laughing

Believe it, k. Bear's Teochew is powerful. I think his vocabulary for swear words in dialects is ... impressive.

Rhonda SG

already been done.. i got struck by lightning before

Oh my gosh... and STILL, your scales require calibration? Must be some huge manufacturing fault!

Must have picked up from the govt conscript forces. Laughing

Rhonda SG

Speaking of lightning strikes, it makes me think of electricity voltages and I recently had a farmer who accidentally touched a live wire one day and the current went right through him and out through his big toe on the right foot, which makes him one lucky man because the only damage he suffered was an amputated big toe.

bluejuice SG

lucky it wasn't somewhere else..

stellazio SG

just came home not long.. fcuk, this headache of mine has last me since yesterday night.. 2 panadols didn't work at all!!damn..

Rhonda SG

Must have picked up from the govt conscript forces. Laughing

No idea. Maybe, a natural-born talent for expletives in any language!

Anyways, I love my colleagues who swear. They are usually the more sincere peeps. That's probably why I like to watch Gordon Ramsey at work too... he's so frank, and he swears like a sailor, but he's often right and very sharp in his judgement of people. People who swear at work are more likely the roll-up-your-sleeves and just start working kinda wholesome folk.
