I have this instrumental CD which claims to contain the “most wanted all-time favourite classic music”. One of the tracks contains the “Happy Birthday” song - I suppose because that song is a classic.
What I want to know is, why am I hearing the Mandarin lyrics in my head every time that song plays? I have never even sung “Happy Birthday” to anyone in Mandarin before! Bizarre.
Me: “I’m used to feeling abnormal.”
Male friend: “In what way do you feel abnormal?”
Me: “Too bookish… not ladylike enough… not focused on climbing the corporate ladder… don’t care about making piles of money… won’t have sex before marriage…”
Male friend: “What do you mean, ‘not ladylike enough’? You certainly don’t look very much like a man.”
Me: “It’s got to do with being gentle and demure; the traditional definition, you know.”
Male friend: “How many gentle and demure girls are there left in this world? If you find any, show me, and I’ll be there in an instant!”
Me: (thinking) “Thank you for rubbing salt in the wound!”
Talk about insensitive males…
If you mention three different things in your email and he replies, “That will be fine”, which is he referring to?
Men…
I was hanging around Kinokuniya again. Is it possible to marry a bookstore? - Lainie

The BM subtitles on local television can really suck sometimes. But even when no translation is required, they still manage to get it wrong: on the American Idol results show tonight, Carrie Underwood’s song was labelled “Jesus Take the Will”.
Obviously, the people who write subtitles for Malaysian tv need to get out more and stop living in their own little world.
