Steve said.....

昨天我听到车房开门声,知道是Steve下班回来了。我到门口迎接他,他手里拿着一束花递向我说﹕"它们告诉我要跟我回家!"

傍晚时分,Steve开始做sausage cheese ball了。什么是sausage cheese ball呢?嗯总之就是用sausagecheese做的啦烤好后,我们就把它当晚餐如果你喜欢吃sausage又喜欢吃cheese的话,可以请你吃哈哈!不用怕,没有任何代价。


Steve看到我的华文blog,好奇的问为什么会参一些其它语文,如ice cream, exploring, nasi lemak... 我说﹕哈哈!这就是马来西亚的'特色'..

他很困挠,就是他学会华语,我想他也听不懂我和Penang朋友的谈话。

当我开始想要将我的blog都有华、英双文,也可让不谙华文者阅读。但是总觉得我的英文很不好意思公开,就想要Steve修饰我所写的英文语法。我对他说﹕"我的英文不好.." 他回应说﹕"我多希望我的华文应用能像你的英文应用.."

我开始认识Steve时很担心、紧张,最主要原因是我觉得我的英语不好,所以不时对他说我的英语不好,但他却不认为,他的回应总是﹕"我希望我学好我的华语...."

朋友,如果你的英文不好,不要害羞!就敢敢乱乱说..应用多的话反而会进步..

Yesterday, I heard the sound of the garage door opening. I knew Steve was home. I went to greet him at door. He handed me a bunch of flowers, “the flowers told me they wanted to come home with me!”

Steve made sausage cheese balls that evening. What are sausage cheese balls? Em…that means they were made with sausage and cheese… After baked, we had them for dinner… We may treat you to them if you like to eat sausage and also cheese…haha! Don’t worry, you don’t need to pay.

Steve was curious when he read my Chinese blog, and asked me why they mixed with others language like ice cream, exploring, nasi lemak... I replied: Haha! This is a ‘characteristic’ of Malaysia..

He was confused. I think even if he learns to speak Chinese, he wouldn’t understand my conversation with Penang friends.

I wanted to write my blog in Chinese and English for those who couldn’t understand Chinese, but I thought my English is still not good enough to publish. So, I wanted Steve to edit my English grammar. I said to him, “my English is not good ...” But his response, “I hope someday my Chinese is as good as your English…”

I felt worried and nervous when I found out Steve is a westerner, mainly because I always thought my English was not good. I always told him my English is not good, but he didn’t think so. He always responded, “I hope I can learn more Chinese…”

So friends, if you think your English is not good, don’t be shy! It will improve faster if you dare to use it and talk frequently…
