Google Translate

It should indeed say, "Restaurant", but...

And I thought to myself, "thank goodness!  at last, translation made easy!!"  Well Adrian was really disappointed at first try...

I started a blog in Chinese and of course, being my lovely husband, he would like to know my thoughts.  He's a Brit, and a Brit who does not read any form of Chinese.  So he thought of using Google translate... the comment was, "what have you been writing, my dear???" looking at me like he had to try and get to know me from scratch.

I have posted an announcement of the start of this blog here earlier, it is called New Blog.  This is the translation to the first post called "Two Blogs" (this is how I call it, not as translated below):

Two blog

My first blog on Blogspot, the called me ... and all around me ... most written in English. At that time, and her husband separated, it is one of our communication platform. Sometimes written in Chinese, have to give his translation (written ororal use), or he will give me that unhappy face. Although the face looks funny, it is not easy to translate, but the reason for that nauseating, I will not refuse him. With this new blog, had wanted to put a link just idly even, but think again (hope we can do this action), as the release of the Chinese here, the English remain inme ... and all around me ... where would it not perfect? ​​seems very professional. .. In fact, it is just fun Exhibitions it!

Helloooooooo~~~~ You call that translation?????   How????

Here's a proper translation:

Two Blogs


My first blog in Blogspot is called me... and all around me..., it is mostly written in English.  At the time when my husband and I were separated, it's one of our communication platforms.  Sometimes when it is written in Chinese, I had to translate it to him (written or dictated), or he will give me that unhappy look.  Although he looks funny putting on that face, and translating is never easy, but for that rather blushing reason, I won't refuse him.


With this new blog, initially I thought of simply posting a link and that's it, but on second thought (hope to do this more often), I may as well post Chinese posts here, keep the English posts in me... and all around me.... Just perfect, isn't it?  Seems very professional... in fact, it's just for fun.


Comments of any kind are always welcome!


And the above is almost word to word.

New blog

I've started a new blog, a blog in Chinese.

It is here.  Or you can click on the link at the bottom of my own intro here (on the right pane).

I maybe biting off a bit more than I could chew here considering I have not even had the time to blog here regularly.

I love writing but I love writing in Chinese on paper, for real... Chinese input is just too slow.  But I'm going to give it a shot anyway.  Let's see how it goes.  Some contents might be repeated but it really feels different when I write in my own language.  I'm sure, for people who can speak/write more than one language, feel the same way too.  

funny names 2

this is only funny if you read chinese, simplified chinese...

ambitious parents - the name is literally "victory" in chinese

a practical joke by the parents - if the parents got her the name... it sounds exactly like "middle east woman" in mandarin, cantonese, hakka...





conspiracy theory...

I have received a number of emails spread from Mainland China, speculating about the actual cause of the occurrence of the 3.11 Japanese earthquake/tsunami.

Most of it is about the Japanese testing out some weapon of mass destruction in the middle of the ocean, inside of the ocean or something like that.  What a load of bullsh*t, and don't you bloody idiots think that I will forward it onwards.  If Japan had invented some weapons that could release approx. 600 times the energy the Hiroshima bomb had released, I, one that has no idea what the world has been inventing in case they need to conquer the earth, would think that Japan has already got it.  If it's a weapon that can shift their country by 3 meters, they have achieved what they wanted. 

And then there's this theory about the testing of such weapons has triggered the quake... whatever.  I'm sure there are substances that could be detected by geologists, scientists of the world if there were such tests.  And I'm pretty certain the US government would conduct a very detailed investigation of the what's been speculated so that they remain the most powerful nation in the world hehehe

The fact is, this is one of the loveliest country that I've ever been to.  They have demonstrated super high level of morality, even after the disaster.  Can you, can anyone tell me which other citizens the rest of the world could be capable of demonstrating such high level of morality?  I think the Mainland Chinese think they can hence the conspiracy theory.  Come on, this coming from people who has no idea of how to queue, who produced poisonous milk powder for their kids, who can make fake eggs out of poisonous chemicals and sell them to the public???

So, if you are sending me emails of similar topics, you can give it up.  I will simply delete it.  I will trust a Japanese Yakuza member than a Chinese civilian.  Simple fact, the Yakuza is one of the first to help the victims after the disaster.  I'm not saying that the Mainland Chinese didn't help, one of the tycoons bought a load of crisps give the victims.  That's all fine, but please, please, please just don't bring them fake eggs and poisonous milk powder and carton paper minced meat!!
