June Holiday with Darren

We have not been to the Night Safari for ages. Wow! so much has changed. The only thing that did not change is that when you walk around, you either see an empty cage or the hind of the animal … haha….but as we took the tram, we get to see many types of animals awake and moving around. The ones we see are mostly nocturnal animals. The animal show is really good. Darren really enjoyed himself totally, until he got a fright at the animal show when the zoo keeper bang close the drain board to create some hype about a hidden python amongst the crowd.

 

 

 Well overall, we had good fun. Good to spend some time with family.

June Holiday excursion with Kang & Ray

We brought Kang & Ray (along with mum) to Sentosa for a day excurison. I’m sured the kids were enjoying themselves, afterall, Ray said and I quote here; ‘This is the best day of the year’ 😀

We started off with some Wii games at Kang & Ray’s home first.

 Then we set off to Sentosa, where we enjoyed 4D cinemax movie and go-kart ride at Imbiah Hill. Had a tour of Skytower ride and lunch before some interesting experience at the Wondergolf.

It was too hot for our liking, and the minigolf course was quite a run-down, that we decided to retreat for a bowling game instead.

The kids then had a good shower-up at our place before dinner at Farrer Road hawker centre. The downside of the day was a puncture tire as a result of reversing into a curb! paid a big bomb for replacing the tires (all 4 since the tires are due for replacement soon) but considering how the kids had enjoyed their day, it’s worthwhile afterall 😉

听歌曲后的感言

        “伦敦玛莉莲 买了件旗袍送妈妈

   莫斯科的夫司基 爱上牛肉面疙瘩

   各种颜色的皮肤 各种颜色的头发

   嘴里念的说的开始流行中国话

   多少年我们苦练英文发音和文法

   这几年换他们卷著舌头学平上去入的变化

   平平仄仄平平仄

   好聪明的中国人 好优美的中国话” 

以上是S。H。E新专辑主打歌“中国话”歌词的小插曲. 话说“中国话”其实是要讨好中国市场,也因此成为了台湾社会议论的热门话题。既然能把歌艺和政治混合在一起,真的是佩服得五体投地。撇开政治一边,其实“中国话”里的歌词,其实满有意识的,也反映了国际的局势。一直以来,亚洲人都一直有崇洋的趋向,尤其是在我国,年轻人总把中文当成是犹如被遗忘的历史,是个毫无价值的东东,都把它当成是一种语言累赘。即使是历史古迹,也有它市场的价值,可惜国人都把中文置于比第三语言还不如重视的语言,可想象中文在国人心里的地位。当然,比起前几年(甚至是十几年前),国人对中文的热忱已经大有改善,而“中国话”这首歌其实也只不过表达了我的心声吧!
