chinese does NOT equate to hokkien!

it does NOT.

i got cheated by berlyn, jayne and emily today!
they told me they were going to watch some local movie by roysten tan so some guy like that...and they said the show was in chinese.

i was like so not interested but if i didn't go with them nobody would stay in school with me...
and they had to go watch it at PRINCESS.
my god...they couldn't have brought me to a worse place.
the movie stopped halfway - what the hell right?-, the sound system sucked, the rest of the people in the theatre were GOLDEN OLDIES.
and they BURB, and YAWN sooo loudly.
the worse part? throughout the movie there were like ching chong songs blasting from their phones.
i swear they are like DEAF. they don't ever realise that it's their phone that is ringing.

and this auntie talked as if the whole world needed to know that she bought a fish that morning.
SPEAK UP. CHINA DIDN'T HEAR YOU.

so yes...they told me that the movie was in chinese so i thought maybe i could still understand.
and sheereen came along too so i wouldn't be the only one who doesn't understand chinese!

but noooooooooo.........70% of the show was in hokkien!
i like totally didn't understand it!
my eyes were like glued to the subtitles half the time!

but the show was ok i guess....i did get the storyline though my periferal vision wouldn't cover the rest of the screen while i was struggling to read the subtitles put up for the ant community.

and anyways...as usual jayne didn't know how to get home.
thank god i suggested the we follow her discreetly to the bus stop or else she would have taken a bus from the wrong direction.
silly girl...we told her it was the bus stop AFTER the train station soooo many time and she still thought it was the one before.
and that girl thought timbaktu was a part of singapore.

(on jayne getting lost)
me: if you take the bus from this side you'll end up in timbaktu.
jayne: oh...you mean in this direction it goes to timbaktu? where's that?


oh and we've got this new relief teacher for chinese because tan chee boon's away for reservist (photocopying papers we presume..HAHAHAHA :))
and she's crazy la...when i speak in english, she doesn't understand.
when i speak in chinese, she still thinks i'm speaking in english!

(imagine this convo in chinese)
me: so can this phrase also be used in this context where (blah blah blah)
teacher: wait wait wait...can you not speak in english?
me: BUT I'M SPEAKING IN CHINESE!!!

hahahahahaha...i swear the group of us sitting together nearly died laughing.
