Mandarin Lesson

The whole restaurant was full of people and no place to sit, no choice, had to share table with a stranger.

Sitting with a stranger, I did not talk at all, it's awkward to talk when there's a stranger listening and looking, Just kept quiet and waiting for my food to arrive. Not more than 5 minutes I sat, that stranger started talking to me. TO ME!!! Why would anyone wanna talk to me?? And the best part was he's speaking in Mandarin, the language I sucks in!!

Calm down, Aki!! *deep breath* He was asking about my school SMK ST MARY. My school?? Nothing much I know about my school, I only cares about me and me and me. He asked:
"Is your school good??"
(Malaysians way of answering) "Okla, can la, not bad la"
bla bla bla . . . (My mom did most of the talking)

That stranger was speaking in classic Mandarin, and I only pass my colloquial Mandarin. I wanna tell him as many information about my school and I was like "Okay, what's that word in Mandarin??" "How do I speak that word in Mandarin??" "Is that word same like in Cantonese??" "I remember they're familiar" "Should I say it out??" "It'll be embarrassing if I got it wrong"


at last, I didn't say it out. LOL.

When he was speaking in Mandarin, I was like translating those words into Cantonese and it's hard because his Mandarin is CLASSICAL TYPE!!

When I heard "Guo Yu", I was like, "What's that??" Is it Malay?? I though Malay is "Ma Lai Yu". Interpreting, it should be Malay because "Guo" is country and "Yu" is language, combined will be "Country Language" which also means "Bahasa Negara".

And then, "Pan Si". Ok, Chinese readers, "Pan Si" is not Half- dead, it's semi-private. I understand that very well and when I told that stranger SMK ST MARY is "Pan Cen Fu" semi-government. DEAD!! Semi-government is an English word not Mandarin, why did I translate it so direct!! *Pai seh pai seh*

My Mandarin really sucks. Until Chinese students in my class when I was in Form 1 thought I dunno Mandarin. LOL. They even said it in front of me, and I was listening to them summore. Then, secara bangganya, I spoke in Mandarin for the first time I stepped into high school. I used to speak Cantonese when I was in primary, then high school, mixing with English speakers, I eventually got used to speak English, practically nobody knows I can speak Mandarin or Cantonese. And even in Chinese class, I spoke in English(totally break the rules).

MCA rules my class basically but I can never mix with them not because of language, because of topics.

MCA: Mandarin Dramas without subtitles
ME: Japanese anime with subtitles and Cantonese without subtitles and I seriously need subtitles for Mandarin dramas.
MCA: Mandarin songs
ME: Cantonese and Japanese songs
MCA: Leisure I dunno but definitely not same with mine
ME: Anime fest, cosplay etc etc
MCA: Mandarin storybooks
ME: English storybooks and manga

Read how much different we are. There's proverbs in Cantonese which sounds like "Fo xing Zhong Dei Kao*.


Signing off,
Aki

P.S: "Fo Xing Zhong Dei Kao* is actually 2 people who always fight because of their personalities not same. That proverbs don't work with me and MCA. Please take note and don't say me ajaran sesat!!
