Hahaha i shall blog in bold now for clearer reading.

I was wondering if my diction was THAT bad. I mean either reception is bad, my diction is bad or the salesgirl's english is well, not so good.

Hahaha i was on my way home today with mum and nicole when mum told me to call the video shop to ask them how many episodes are there for the korean drama spring waltz altogether and if they have the taiwanese dubbing.

Okay let me digress a little about the dubbing. I never ever liked the chinese dubbing from china. Because they have this way of speaking which makes the person sound like a strangled chinese opera singer. And why is dubbing important. Because the person's voice affects the character and someone he would be less charismatic and handsome if he had a terrible voice.

Okay so back to the sales girl. I called her and this was how the convo went

Me: erm may i know how many episodes are there for the korean drama spring waltz?
Her: Ahh what? Movie??
Me: No. korean drama spring waltz.
Her: No such movie la. Dunno what u saying.
Me: KOREAN DRAMA SPRING WALTZ. IT IS A DRAMA SERIAL. SPRING WALTZ.
Her: Can read out the chinese name for me?
Me: ???!!!!!! okay * mutters something inaudible and incomprehensible in chinese*
Her: Orh! Okay, i know. U want GREEN WALL RIGHT?
Me: NONONO. SPRING WALTZ. SPPPRRRRIIINNNNG WALLLTZZZ. *emphasising on the zzzz.
Her: Yah la. That one. *then says the chinese name of the show*

Then u know what happened? She said to her friend in the background that i wanted *spring waltz in chinese* and continued telling her friend i can't speak english properly and she doesn't understand what i'm talking about.

Of course i was angry. I said spring waltz and u said green wall. And besides, i never ever heard of a name green wall for korean drama la. Still criticize my english. HMMMPPHHHH.

Oh btw i cut my hair. OOO it feels so light now. Teeheehee. CIAOS.
