I am a banana too. But need to survive in Mandarin-speaking environment. Still doing fine. Will improve my Mandarin grasp in time to come..

Here’s my take on clarifying the use of English Ed rather Malay Ed. It’s really a reference to the kid’s family/linguistic background rather than the language their educated in. Their parents are typically English/dialect speaking or english educated, usually illiterate in chinese. It is quite common to find a number (in fact alot) who can speak/read Chinese. Ultimately, chinese literacy is the acid test. There are some who can do all, but they are the exception, rather than the rule.

I think that that was the most unpleasant set of pictures that I have ever seen, but it must have taken lots of guts to do that. I have a sister who is pretty much a bannana. She looks to the bright side if she is feeling low. She is 17 and she knows at least one song from every disney movie ever made. Her favorite is “The little Mermaid” where Ariel sings that song in her cavern about her thing-a-mabobs. She has a wonderful voice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! =) She is very looney,too.
