A few days ago, we went to buy some things at a shop. The shopkeeper spoke to me in Mandarin so I tried to converse with her in my ‘half-bucket’ Mandarin. I even did some bargaining and etc. So after we left the shop, Ashley turned to me and said “Mom, I am so proud of you. You spoke to the lady in Mandarin“…… muahahahahaha. This is too funny that I have to put in record.
clap,clap,clap.. Barb.. I am proud of you too. 🙂
Good mummy…serving a good example for her. I was lucky that my wifey is from a chinese education background. She speaks mandarin with my boy all the time.
Wah not bad, can even bargain successfully, that means your Mandarin is not that half bucket after all :p
Ahhh.. you can teach her to bargain. Way to go Ashley !
oh ya.. thx for getting me the stuff… did you try out the size n quality. I can’t get such at KL
wah! Well done mummy, next time i can converse with you in mandarin already. :):)
that’s cute and sound encouraging too. so I’m sure you will speak more (in Mandarin) in the future. 🙂
Wah not bad hehe. Can bargain some more.
I guess she picked this kind of compliment from you, Barb. May be you have mentioned this to her before. Happy Weekend to you.
Muahahaha, this is way too funny!
What did you say in Mandarin by the way? Short short sentences? My Mandarin also half-bucket, so does my Cantonese :p
LOL, I am chuckling at her remark too!! Happy holiday and long weekend Barb!
hahaha.. I am very proud of you too, Barb.
At least you tried, I dare not, so thumbs up to you Barb!
