Random

A random entry. Hahaha.

Went studying with Melvin and Meiqing at NIE yesterday. Overall, we chatted quite a bit but I managed to complete some of the work. Anyway, it's definitely better than when I am studying at home. The computer and the television is just too much of a temptation.


Empty canteen.


Messy table. Hahhaa.


Meiqing and Melvin hard at work.


Took a photo of ourselves before we left. Hahhaa.


Anyway, have you guys bought the I-weekly this week?

It is the one with Donnie Yen on the cover. My article is published! =)))

I had actually sent out my article the week before so I thought it would be published last week. However, i saw my article this week instead. Hahhaa. Sometimes, life is just about uncertainties.



Yeah. This is my article. Actually, I find it badly written after I read it again today. It is about dialects AGAIN. Hahaha. I am always writing about dialects. Somehow, my articles on dialects seem to be striking a chord with the editors more. Hahaa.

Nevertheless, I still won myself a watch from Cosmopolitian. It's a ladies watch but I can probably give it to my mom. I am hoping that they will change the prize when I claim for it next month. Hahhaa. Anyway, they always do so.

As usual, the editors made changes to my article. This was what I had orginally written.

阮的批

很喜欢上星期杨丽玲的《自由论》。

喜欢江蕙,也喜欢台语歌。庆幸自己小时候是公公带大的,所以还能够听得懂福建话,并且感动于歌词的含意。曾经听人说过,台语歌曲所能带来的感动大大多于其他语言的歌曲。我原本不这么认为,但在接触了台语歌曲后,我才明白其中的道理。江蕙的《家后》,《落雨声》和《甲你揽牢牢》---- 这三首歌有着含蓄简单的歌词却能制造出澎湃动人的情感,“感动度”之然不在话下。

新加坡在过几十年将很有可能完全失去我们的方言。试问:失去了方言,我们仅仅失去了一个毫不重要的地方语言吗?

真的很希望方言能够在本地电视重见天日。

PS: 阮是台语的我的意思。批念pway,是信的意思。

I wanted to make the letter sound more interesting by giving it a hokkien title but it didn work out. Hahaha. I really thought it was creative!!!

I have a craving for snow skin mooncakes!!! Hahha.

Okay, bye!

谢谢你,ZhiXian

方言一直是我很多发表文章中的中心内容。哈哈哈。写了很多次。可能下次要写些别的东西了。
