Fatum SG no .... I mean it's EX sweetheart no ? ..... I live life in a "xiao sa" way ... I try not to dwell on the past too much now ... now, I love that phrase, "xiao sa" ... anyone want to try translating that into English ? ...
Rhonda SG No! Nooo!! I meant, when he wasn't an ex, when we were in love! Not now, of course. Now, all those sweet nothings are just... nothings!
Rhonda SG Actually yesterday I had a thought - I wonder if I should ask you and kopi out and we go somewhere to take photos because I'd love to learn more from kopi, who's so good with my digicam, and I wanna watch the insect porn guy in action! Er... hmm... somehow, that last bit came out a tad kinky!
Rhonda SG I've come to realise that there are some Chinese terms that cannot be translated into English without losing its essence. OK, the closest I can think of is... Suave?
Fatum SG ....................... nope ... I'm not one ... I was ... but I'm reformed now ... I think maybe fatalistic may do it .... cool fatalism ? ..... hmmmm .......
elindra SG How come you invite insect porn perv like AV instead of me I wanna watch Poseidon at Omnimax too
choco B SG Hahaha that sounds so surrendered leh... like, I give up ! Xiao sa has more of a positive tone to me.. I think it's somewhat like magnanimous, although magnanimous doesn't totally describe xiao sa
Rhonda SG HOw about we meet halfway - Magnanimously Suave? Or Suavely Magnanimous? Actually, xiao sa also kinda means 'charming'... so, Charmingly Suave and Magnanimous?
Fatum SG but there's the connotation of cool fatalism as well ... a bit of letting go ..... you realise that mandarin is actually very zen like ? ... sparse, full of implicits ...
Rhonda SG I can't tonight either... let's pick another date. Actually, it's cheaper to go on a weekday during off-peak times. Maybe I'll just sneak off to watch the movie myself and abandon all you office-hours slaves!
Fatum SG I found another excuse to drink beer tonight ... the last of my results just got released ... I'm quite pleased with it ... *twists open another bottle of malt juice ...
