Photo retouching. Learned some new tricks and tried to apply them. Actually I am not sure if I improved the image or not, but this is a retouching, which means it was touched from a different approach. Just a different view.

About Language, again. and Beijingnese

Ok, I have a lot to learn about English, which is very true. Meanwhile, lacking of Chinese reading made my Chinese writing worse. Will I end up not being able to handle both languages?
Probably not. The only thing that is improving is the speed of my Chinese speaking. I got it improved by argueing/chatting with Eddie the Beijingnese. Eddie speaks Chinese faster than I am and speaks English faster than I am; however, he's not going to take the lead, coz I read both Traditional Chinese and Simplified Chinese faster than he is. (Let's not talk about English reading here, that will just embarrass both of us...) He asked me to read him articles written in Simplified Chinese for him, and I would respond with "I thought they teach Simplified Chinese in China."
Eddie told me that because English is not our mother tongue, we tend to imitate how other people speak English, and we won't be able to show our true personality. In my opinion, yes and no. It is true that it's more difficult to show my personality while speaking in English, but this happens to me even when I talk to people whom I meet for the first time, no matter he/she speaks Chinese or English. So, I would say it is about personality more than language ability.
But the part of mimicing how other people speak English, it is very true because I have been doing that all the time. That might be the reason why I feel "pissed off" is stronger than "upset."

Languages. Sounds new to me!

Couple things I learned about English recently,

First, don't say "pissed" or "pissing" to people you just met, unless they are video production people. I said this word to a real estate agent and she seems shocked. That made me wonder if it's the wrong usage when I said "if I were the person who live downstairs, I will definitely pissed by the noise." But it is funny when I found that all directors i met said words like "fucking" "jerk off" and blahblah.

Second, by learning to drive, I tend to speak dirty words more frequently and more easily. When someone honked me while it is not necessary, I say, "fuck you." Of course I don't really want to do that, but it's just a way to express how upset I am.

Third, foreginers, especially Chinese and Taiwanese, tend to speak a lot of "yeah, yeah, yeah" during conversation. It becomes so unnatural and made the conversation plain. And it reminds me of Usher's song. Alrite, that's not the point, but I don't like to hear conversation like that, especially the person who speaks that "yeah yeah yeah" most of the time is a girl with plain looking and plain dress and a plain Asian face.

Oh I am so mean! that girl might be me sometimes. Who knows how other people look at me!
