Parents coming
Parents coming! parents coming! me so excited and restless, can' tseem to read anything.. la la la~~~ hehehe. *jumps up and down*
My flatmate Shulin keep looking at me funny today, ask if i was ok.. goign crazy.. ha ha i sure am.. so excited.
Hehe anyway.. back go business, i received a email from someone asking for petition against UN abolishing tradiational Chinese writing. Well, as many of you know, I am not good at chinese writing at all, but i know enough to appreciate the beauty of it. The fact that part sof the word can give indication to the meaning behind it, that i think it's just makes it such a powerful writing system. ANd just because China think they are all powerful, and that they are lazy so they developed the simplified writing style does not mean that it shoudl be abolished! it's like declaring extinction to a language when ppl are still using it! and we'll be forced to teach our next generation simplified. I don't know.. i guess i believe we are in an era where we should embrace diversity rather than otherwise, religion, culture, language alike.
So, if you wish to sign your petition too, make your voice heard at http://www.gopetition.com/petitions/say-no-to-united-nations-abolishment-of-traditional-chinese-in-2008.html
And if i haven't convince you yet.. just think.. what woudl the world be like if one day, UN decided to abolish the word 'people', and replace it with 'ppl', just cause everyone is too lazy to write out the proper word... makes you think doesnt' it.
