The holidays have begun, and it's been a big rush trying get my assignments done. I hate accounting more each day, with its so frustrating assignment. The questions look so simple and straightforward and yet they are so hard to answer. Today was another dinner at Neil's and I had the pleasure of sitting next to this China girl. We were communicating in English for a fair bit of conversation before she found out I was from Singapore, and started to commute in Chinese, even after I said I was a little rusty. So there she was babbling off in her fluent Mandarin and I was struggling just to keep up. Then she started on the history of China, and why some Chinese speak Chinese that is so hard to understand. I felt like I was doing listening comprehension all over again. I was lost half way through the conversation, then found out the meaning at the end.
