so, i was looking up websites to learn cantonese, and i found a bit of surprising info. i never knew before that hong kong is now supposedly the center of “pure” cantonese, as opposed to guangzhou before. and apparently, the way older people speak is different from the younger people. older people differentiate between ng and ‘o, g and gw, and n and l, while younger people don’t. since the distinction between these sounds is blurring, no wonder why i was always so confused about which consonant to use when i tried to speak cantonese…
the trees look dead. but the grass is hanging in there.
sigh. i have fallen in love with the vitali chaccone, jaejoong’s “forgotten season”, bach chaccone, and dbsk’s “doushite”… and many more. all right. back to work!
Today, our clocks went back one hour. I was so surprised when someone told me about it at breakfast! But strangely, my phone did not automatically reset the time, even though its alarm function did and rang an hour later than I expected it to…
I need a dustpan.
OMG! self defense simulation tomorrow! i gotta fight off the bad guys! aaaahhhhhh!
Yeah, I know. Lame pinyin, but I still haven’t figured out how to get Chinese on Vista. So anyways, it snowed on Friday! When I walked out the dorm to go to physics, I was confused by all the white dusty things whizzing around. And it turned out to be snow!
