I started my Finals work at a continuity client – 杀头国际 yesterday. As i’ve mentioned, it’s a continuity job, so it’s not as tough. but the things that need to be done still have to be done. =) it’s gonna be a wonderful 3 weeks, cos this holding company is gonna be dissolved. heh. goodness gracious, can just imagine the impact on my beloved FS.

anyway, i’ve known the tea lady since i was an a10. she’s really nice and friendly. so we always end up chatting about nothing for at least 5 min in the morning. as you know, i like to make SMALL talks. heh, anw, i was in the pantry talking to a shipping officer whom i enjoyed talking to in hokkien, so as we chat, the pantry lady asked me,

PL: You can speak hokkien?

WR: ya, decent enough that ppl can understand. but ppl often finds it rather rude, the standard way singaporeans said it. but i still like speaking hokkien, cos it’s like i know my roots.

PL: it may sound a bit rude and uncivilsed but what matters is not what you’re speaking because what’s important is the attitude of the person who said it. if you’re not nice and you’re speaking perfect english or mandarin, u’re still worth nothing!

WR: heh, ya, u’re quite true.

PL: tat’s why, if you speaking hokkien and dun mean to be rude, u’re doing fine…

WR: heh, thanks for that!

this came from a 64 yrs old pantry lady. dun i just love her! she made me wanna speak hokkien more. btw, i started singing hokkien songs at kbox le! i tell you, i LOVE it so much!!!!!!!!!!
