OMG.

My parents are on this diet of Hokkien shows that I get inadvertently pulled into their world.

The world of *lim peh's' , am kor's and ah bu's ; of family turbulence and moral values.

Wahlau eh.

Siao liao.

See!?

And no. My Hokkien hasn't improved from all that, thankyouverymuch.

I know la. My grasp of the language sucks, but I really do regret not practicing it when I was younger. I can't remember when I started not speaking Hokkien that much, it just slips away. My household is about 95% English now.

Sigh.

I do wish I'm more fluent in my mother tongue. Half mother tongue at least.



* (in order) your father, but and mother



Oh great orb; whence will my mom's car get fixed?
