      check with hokkien dictionary ?


      \"hao tai\" does sound like a hokkien word which my grandfather used to scold me & my siblings when we were small, for being.. well.. stupid (not that we were, but in his eyes lah!).

      why does strparent call the GEPpers \"stupid\"? thot this should be the last word one would use to describe the GEPpers?! :scratchhead:

      I interprete the same meaning as you, ie stupid.. I thought this word will only apply me..... from my mum..... πŸ˜‰

        :offtopic: Look at this link and enjoy ...
        http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lcFfqmGVoLU&feature=related

        Did your ds secure his dsa using this song ?

        That's abit too cutesy for DSA audition, right? 😜 He did a classical piece. I have a feeling that they placed great consideration on the portfolio, not just the audition.

        but 衛马 IS a classical piece..
        not that i like the way it's played. a bit too showy for me.

        ps. can ask how do students submit a portfolio for music? you mean like exam results & competition achievements, etc? thanks ~ πŸ™‚

          and to quote strparent... \"And as we all know, most GEPpers a bit 'haotai', will mostly choose RI or HCI ( RGS or NYGH ) over NJC most of time\"...

          so a GEPper (or any other kid) who chooses to study at RI or HCI (RGS or NYGH) instead of NJC is considered 'stupid'? OMG!!! :faint:

            haha me too long time never heard this word! sure brings back some childhood memories ~

            another word my parents like to use on us is \"Jin Tuh!\" a bit hard to put into english phonics but i think it translates into 真蠒 πŸ˜“

              My impression of hao tai is more like silly, a fool. Don't recall it as being stupid. Maybe different usage?

So does \"silly\" = \"stupid\"??? Maybe a nicer way to describe \"stupid\"??? oopppsss... :offtopic:

                    chill … I don’t think Strparent meant it in a negative sense. His/her ds was from GEP too and in RI now (if I did not misread his posts). Can’t be that he is belittling his son, right?
