Learning Mandarin

I have been always trying to improve my Mandarin, but that's not easy since all of my friends mostly speaks in Hokkian, I don't really have the chance to practice Mandarin until I finally started to play around with Google Translate.

Guess what, now my Mandarin improved a lot and now i can even text my friends in Mandarin (thanks to whom ever created Pin Yin).

For those who wants to learn Mandarin, Google Translate is a good start and of course you still want a dictionary for further explanations.

p/s: try get a girlfriend from China, It will definitely help a lot with your Mandarin. :)

Don't Help Anyone In China

I do not mean that we should not help anyone that is in need or in trouble but, I have just learned that by just simply help anyone in China will most probably get you in a big mess. This is regarding to a few videos that I saw on the internet, an old lady fell down while walking on the road and no one seems to give a damn about, a man beating a woman and no one comes to help and recently is a very young boy that was hit by a vehicle and everybody just walked pass by pretending nothing happened.

If these happen everywhere else in the world, for example right here in Malaysia, everyone will try their best to give a helping hand. Here in Malaysia if you see a car accident before your eyes, you can see that everyone will stop their cars and try to help. So what the hell is wrong with all the Chinese in China? Look at this video....



At first, like everyone else, I thought they don't have any mercy about others, but now after a friend from China explained to me, I know that their system is so FUCKED UP that gave them no choice but not to bother about others who need help. These are the reason why....

1. There will be no thorough investigation to decide who is actually to be blamed or guilty (usually those who helped will be held responsible for what had happened)

2. If you knocked someone with your car, the person you knocked is better dead rather than alive (this is because if the person is alive then you will have to be fully responsible for all his medical expenses and whatsoever claims that he had sued you, FUCKED UP)

3. Life is not so good over there so lying about what actually happened or who is to be blamed is better than being no money to pay any hospital bills.

So readers, if you plan to travel to China, just remember to get as much info as you can, learn some Chinese and DON'T HELP ANYONE unless you know them well.

Did I mention that I can speak Hokkien quite well?? Actually yes I can, and I can speak a little bit of Mandarin too but too bad I can't read at all. Been able to speak in Chinese is very fortunate for me because at least I can understand some of the Chinese songs. So I want to share one of the songs that really like at the moment. It's called

我的好兄弟(My Good Brothers)

lyrics :-

在你辉煌的时刻
让我为你唱首歌
我的好兄弟
心里有苦你对我说
前方大路一起走
哪怕是河也一起过
苦点累点
又能算什么
在你需要我的时候
我来陪你一起度过
我的好兄弟
心里有苦你对我说
人生难得起起落落
还是要坚强的生活
哭过笑过
至少你还有我
朋友的情谊呀比天还高
比地还辽阔
那些岁月我们一定会记得
朋友的情谊呀我们今生
最大的难得
像一杯酒 像一首老歌
朋友的情谊呀比天还高
比地还辽阔
那些岁月我们一定会记得
朋友的情谊呀我们今生
最大的难得
像一杯酒 像一首老歌
像一杯酒 像一首老歌

translation :-

In your moment of glory
I sing a song for you
My brothers
My heart said to me you are bitter
Go ahead with the road
Along the river have been even
Pain points accumulated points
What can be considered
When you need me
I stay with you spent together
My brothers
My heart said to me you are bitter
Rare ups and downs of life
Or to a strong life
Cried laughed
At least you still have me
Yeah friends friendship is higher than the day
Also compared to the vast
We will remember those years
Yeah our life friends friendship
The largest rare
Like a glass of wine, like an old song
Yeah friends friendship is higher than the day
Also compared to the vast
We will remember those years
Yeah our life friends friendship
The largest rare
Like a glass of wine, like an old song
Like a glass of wine, like an old song

China Girls

No doubt that China is a country with the most population in the world. I won't be surprised if one day they would just invade and conquer the whole world. It seem like they are already started conquering the world with their ladies. Don't believe?? Better believe it !

About less than 10 years back we hardly see any girls from China, except for local Malaysian Chinese of course, but nowadays when we go to KTVs, SPAs, Restaurants, or just shopping complexes we can see all these good looking ladies and girls are actually from China. Not sure they are working or traveling but whatever they are doing here is not my problem.

This is happening everywhere in the world, USA, Dubai, UAE, Australia, UK, and anywhere else.
So for you guys who are still single I think this is the chance ( but be prepare to move whatever you have to China ).

I think it's good to have many tourists from China to visit Malaysia but lets hope they are visiting and spending money here because if they are here to take our money and bring back to to their homes in China we are going to be bankrupted!

The End Of The World Is Coming Soon

When is the end of the world? Or some may call it the Judgement Day. Well... I don't think anybody knows when is this world going to end BUT... I might be wrong. I've read in a local newspaper a few days back, a Taiwanese feng-shui master said that the end of the world is coming very very soon. It's going to be in the 15th May 2011. Yup, about 10 days from today. He believes that a big tsunami is going to hit the world and warns everyone to take shelters in big containers. Do not take shelters at home since it's not safe enough.
How true could this be about his prediction? I guess we'll just have to wait. Should we take shelters? I don't think so because if it's the END, it will be the END. No one can escape it.

Tarbush Batu Feringghi Penang

It's been ages since I took my family out, wife has been nagging about being bored at home for too long. My kid Jasmine is already 2 years old last month. So I finally took them out to Batu Feringghi Penang.

Batu Feringgi is still the same now compared to 10 years ago when I was studying in Penang except there are more tourists and more hotels. Other than that I still see the same old Batu Feringghi.

There are hawker stalls everywhere but since we were on a once a blue moon outing I decided to take my family for something a little bit special for dinner. So we had dinner right here....

And we had these.....

Very good Lebanese food, and look how happy we were..


Going over to Batu Feringghi again soon.

Jacky Chan Died !!

There has been rumors that Jacky Chan the famous Hong Kong and Hollywood actor died circulating on Facebook a few days back. It turned out that it was just rumors. I wonder how fast a rumor can travel on facebook about someone famous passed away.

Can someone start a new rumor and tell me how fast does it actually travels please.

Thank you.

Investment With High Interest

ASB gave 8.75% interest last year which is not ok at all compared to the last 7 or 8 years ago. A few years back Bank Rakyat had a product that gave 15% interest per annum but that's no more. So where can we save our money for a much better interest?? Okay... this is what I heard, AMBANK now has a product called Insurance Savings or something sounds like that and they are giving away 15% interest per year. This is really great BUT I also heard that it is limited for only RM5 million. So better hurry up, first come first serve basis.
