Know What?
thanks for sharing... I am bit surprised as I remember you are Rafflesian too, and all the time I had a impression that the Raffles families are very 'ang mao', now I have a different view.less kiasu liao:
Hi kitcat. Again, it's hard to explain.
Being potatoes served my DSs well in the education system definitely, and provided them with the means to popular courses in the unis. But I often felt that the incredible depth and beauty of the Chinese language was inaccessible to them both because they could not understand it with their CL level and because they could not feel for it. It is as if they percieve the world only half as much as I did.
Perhaps I am old fashion, but with DD, I felt less pressure to make sure she had a \"good\" and \"profitable\" career. I felt happiness for a woman came from a different source, such as having and nurturing a happy family and I was less concern to make her \"clever\". I felt joy when she learned and understood Chinese sayings, idioms and in the way she pronounced the Chinese words so accurately..........
Sorry if I sound like I am sprouting rubbish!
My Gal told Me ....
She Miss Hearing .... Chinese in Sch Already!
RGS is So .... Ang-Mo Speaking, in her own Words

Besides sports, I was active in a most unusual CCA-Chinese Society. Even in those days, those involved were a really rare breed of RGS girls who, till today, speak in Mandarin when we meet. We had great fun putting up plays, and even short Chinese operas. I know of a girl who went on to become both a EL and CL teacher. One girl is now a director of Chinese films, while another is involved in translation work. But, you are correct, the Raffles families are really 'angmoh'. I remember how bad the RI boys in JC were in Mandarin that I was asked by my teacher to read the Chinese \"ke wen\" almost everyday because there was no one else to call!
But Now that U mentioned it ....
My Gal did Say she Peeped into a Room that is so Out of Place in RGS ....
Coz this is the Only Room with Chinese Writing, Notice, etc

Donโt you wish the school system would still allow our children such space and freedom? Secondary school should be the best years of their lives lehโฆ[/quote]
yes, I do wish that, and I hope ds not to be too far away from the good chinese valuesโฆ -

There is Chinese Drama and Scriptwriting. Don't worry, all the announcements by the Chinese Dept will be purely in Chinese. You will have a wonderful time reading those announcements while the potato ones like me see stars. :rotflmao:
