read my mind

Saturday, August 12

Where have my Chinese skills gone to? Down the drain? Where are the clues that I used to take Higher Chinese in secondary school, that I used to be called often to read a passage in Mandarin, that I was able to present a competent book review to my class in the language? All gone. Now, when I converse with my friends in Mandarin, I find myself stuttering and stammering, often resorting to English to get my point across. How ah? Die la.
