Ok, ok:o..........we tone it down:biggrin:...........but that's where dialect loses it's soul and colour:(

True, even when some of the HK singers sing their songs in Mandarin to cater to the China and Taiwan markets, they seem to lose some of
the colour.
And songs from the Taiwanese singers that inevitably stick in the head tend to be the menanyu ones.

hi there


1. bro, i bet my last dollar!
2. you are another canto, right!
i spoke cantonese before any other languages....been speaking it all my life. :biggrin:
i am not a cantonese chauvinist, i can speak all the other dialects here but i insist all my children must learn to speak the dialect.
i have relatives in HK and parts of Canto but somehow i never feel at home in those places though the lingua franca and food is familiar.
i had my canto pop phase when much younger (your avatar was my idol)....now i keep up with the language watching HK news and serials.
i never watch any HK movies that are dubbed.

Pappies like Wooden can actually speak dialect, in his case hokkien, better than Mandarin.

Who can forget him saying things like "bo tua bo sway, bo kar see" in his rally speeches?

What are the Chinese characters for Tarpor (Guy), Charbor (Gal), Lanjiao (Penis) and Cheebye (Vagina)? Many points for correct answers.

can still remember someone gave LTK a poem and sealed the deal, and it went something like this:
tee deng jik jiak ngoh; zeng hu wu jinn, nang meng bor...

I remember LTK saying "Tee wu mak.".........................

Imo, sori to say this, but we should stop bluffing ourselves.

Like the saying, "Men doing, Heaven is looking" or "Heaven got eyes".

Yah, I believe heaven got eyes since the begining of time, and heaven is looking, looking, still looking and still looking............looking still and still looking......looking until end of time.......still looking..........

Hope you get what I mean:(

.......and still looking, while men doing..........heaven still looking...........looking.......

tee wu mak 天有眼
