Do watch the video, if you seldom play the videos on my blog. Its a really nice song.
Hokkien is a powerful language. Not only does it sound homely, it is able to express really strong emotions.
I went for my first stocktake today, and the counters were all Chinese uncles. They seemed unwilling to talk to me at first, but after I asked them a question in Hokkien, they were really helpful.
When I went Batam, the massage parlour owner could only converse in Hokkien and he threw in a lot of good deals for us.
And to think that the government has not only discouraged dialect, but is also promoting the teaching of Chinese Language using English.
I hope it really works. And when everyone starts speaking perfect English. Shingz.
