Tee Yee, William, Tania, Allison and I were having lunch together at the Gate 3 employee lounge and the four Asian Chinese began to teach Allison simple Mandarin. At the same time, she taught us some French as she learned French during high school.
Allison
She said it is good to know some simple French like:
"Je ni sai pas''... pronounced as 'Je ni sia pa'.. that means 'i dun understand'..
Or you can say 'no se' (pronounced as 'no say'),, means I don't know how to speak'.. sounds bit like broken english..
We continued to teach her some Mandarin like ‘不准笑’ because the siao po TAN TEE YEE always laughs like crazy even when she is in US.. Also we taught her '不知道’ and '不懂'..
Haha... Super cute
When we went back to vending room, we saw Will's name tag written he is from China.. Haha. He has a few name tags,, all with different countries such as Australia, Peru and now is China..
This is WILL
Tee Yee started to tease him, saying that he is from China but doesnt know how to speak Mandarin... Haha,, a shame of chinese.. hahaha...
Now the joke began.. Will asked Tee Yee to say beer in Chinese... Tee Yee proudly started to show her fluent Mandarin by saying '啤酒'. A second later, both Will and Allison simultaneously said 'Beer in Chinese'... and the whole room was filled with laugher... hahaha..
Oh yea... another thing about US people is that they don't use 'lousy' like we Malaysian and Singaporean and Indonesian do...Instead they use 'sucks'.. hahha...
Lousy people use 'lousy'? or Lousy people never use 'lousy'??
