foiegras & xiao long baos

i wanna learn a language... a different language.
i wanna be able to speak it with the up most of fluency, be able to write, spell & read every intricate stroke & character of its literature...
be it French, or even Mandarin for that matter... especially Mandarin -_-

its hard living in singapore n not being able to communicate with more than 80% of the population. Its frustrating... and frankly, sometimes i wish i wasn't so "ang mor pai".

I'm Asian, i was born in Asia, n even though i don't really like the lifestyle here, its still part of my heritage n i wish to cultivate that which makes it uniquely oriental about living on the Eastern Continents...

i wanna embrace its culture and i want my kids to practice it as well... from my point of view, i think language makes up more than half of the lifestyle. The more Mandarin u speak, Mandarin more cheena your gonna be... & vice versa~

i tried speakin chinese for a day when i was still in poly once... drove everybody crazy... but i think my mandarin's improved reasonably after enlisting.. well sort of, maybe my friend would beg to differ~

be that as it may, i still wanna keep improving... im leavin alot of doors locked by not being able to converse in our country's "national language". But to be honest, i dont even know where to start...

Channel 8 perhaps?
or maybe at K-box...

imma start saying "wei?" instead of "Hello" when i pick up the phone next time... maybe it'll start a trend...
