Can you believe how manipulative some people can be?

Well anyway, since my vid's taking forever to load, here's another entry..

You know, I was reading the papers while waiting for baby to have his haircut.
Then I came across this article where our MM Lee told us not to lose the precious mother tongue.

And I felt ashamed and sad for a while.
For that instant, I wanted to test myself and started mumbling some sentences in mandarin.
Then I recalled how I stammered the other day at tuition when I had to translate some regulations I set for my student to his mother. Can you believe it? I actually couldn't even piece my sentence at ease.

I don't want to lose the ability to speak mandarin. I used to mock at people who can't even speak mandarin properly. And now, it's my turn. Oh, maybe it's karma.

But everytime I think of reading the language, I get a little uncomfortable. And I'd push the thought away. I wonder what happened.

I feel proud of the fact that us Singaporeans are generally bilingual. And I don't want to end up being only able to speak English. :(
