Hoi Saan Wa

I just realized that I have yet to delve into the rich, deep iced cream cake that is Chinese.

More specifically, Taishanese. I know Mandarin and Cantonese better than I know Taishanese, which is my own (half-)native dialect. I want to learn how to speak fluently so bad because I love how it sounds and there's something about being able to say that you are virtually the only person fluent in Taishanese in your area. I don't know any other Taishanese in my batch, and all the youth are born and raised in Fukien even if they're half Hoisaan.

I shall learn it and carry on the legacy!

And now I rant about school...

I've got Chinese journals to do. Ack. Then quizzes and things and I just really want to go back to the time when I didn't have to do anything. Now I'm drowning in homework.

Mercifully, all the homework is due tomorrow afternoon, which means I have the whole day to procrastinate it. Wheeeee!

I'll just read up on my Chinese. Maybe even do a journal or two... or not.

I'll see.

Anyway... I was going to add someone on YM... let's set the name for this person as ... 6. And no, this isn't one of those codes for my crushes again. So anyway, I added 6 on YM, and the invitation was rejected, and that's just so completely uncharacteristic of 6.

I've always known 6 to be very pleasant, amiable and cordial. And to have 6 suddenly act like that, and when we talked... I felt the temperature drop several degrees. Jeez.

Hmm... and I happened to speak with 6's ex-best friend. Looks like life brought me to the right person.

At least I understand 6 a bit more.

Anyway, Alexis finally sent me "Rascal Flatts - Life Is a Highway - Single - Life Is a Highway (Original Version).mp3" and I mean... wow. It's hypnotizing.

I better get startedon some of my Chinese now... since that's all I can be brought to work on tonight. Patapooooon!

Night ya'll, and don't forget to love your Cantonese.

Life Is A Highway by The Rascal Flatts (download this song. I uber-recommend it)

Life's like a road that you travel on
When there's one day here and the next day gone
Sometimes you bend, sometimes you stand
Sometimes you turn your back to the wind
There's a world outside every darkened door
Where blues won't haunt you anymore
Where the brave are free and lovers soar
Come ride with me to the distant shore
We won't hesitate, break down the garden gate
There's not much time left today

Life is a highway
I want to ride it all night long
If you're going my way
I want to drive it all night long

Through all these cities and all these towns
It's in my blood and it's all around
I love you know like I loved you then
This is the road and these are the hands
From Mozambique to those Memphis nights
The Khyber Pass to Vancouver's lights
Knock me down get back up again
You're in my blood I'm not a lonely man

There's no load I can't hold
Road so rough, this I know
I'll be there when the light comes in
Tell 'em we're survivors

Life is a highway
I want to ride it all night long
If you're going my way
I want to drive it all night long

There was a distance between you and I
A misunderstanding once but now
We look it in the eye
There's no load I can't hold
Road so rough this I know
I'll be there when the light comes in
Tell 'em we're survivors

Life is a highway
I want to ride it all night long
If you're going my way
I want to drive it all night long
