Malaysian english...

I have nothing...I'm just so lost..I ditched Crys. She went for LOUD and I didn't cause Jade and I decided not to go. She is now in DUMC. Lost. Bored. Poor thing. I miss her like crap.


Ok. This is something from Camporama. I miss it like crap too! I still remember we were at China to do our City Visitation. The tour guide brought us around. And we read every single thing that is there. Me and Sher was like reading and reading and reading about China and the history of China and the culture and bla bla bla and we came across this thing we don't expect to find.


This. Learn chinese in 5 minutes. Me and Sher read it and we taught we could "learn" even though we are very very fluent in the chinese language. At fist I was like "Oh no. This is not how you say it!" And then suddenly I was laughing my head off. And we found this. If you can zoom, try doing it and read.If you can't, here goes....
