If a woman die a Bergin, the GUI also automatically becomes Bergin is it? :biggrin:
I believe virginity affects the body only, whereas it is lust (and other sins, mainly greed and vanity) that affects the soul only.

And unless I'm very mistaken, at the point of death, whatever has happened to our bodies and whatever actions our bodies have done do not matter anymore, simply because the only thing that matters is whether or not our souls/spirits have tried our very best to repent!

You mai kei kei hokay. You write perfect England one hokay. :smile:
My English is obviously not perfect; it's probably just above average, but certainly not among the best in Singapore, especially since I scored only A2 for my O-Level English (while many of my classmates scored A1) and, believe it or not, I don't even have a basic University degree.

Also, my spoken English in real life is significantly worse than my written English.

Life is not about that piece of toilet paper certificate that @ginfreely loves to parade her A1 crap.

It's about 涵养 which you have lots but some foul mouth woman here obviously lacks...:smile:

@musashi ... Can tell us what book you are currently reading? :smile:
I'm afraid I'm not currently reading any book.

But in my humble opinion, it is listening that is much more important than reading, in order to improve one's proficiency in any language.

So if you (or anyone else) honestly think my English is really good, it's probably because since I was born, my parents spoke to me in English (or at least some form of Singlish) nearly all the time (which is also why my Chinese/Mandarin is much worse than my English); and during my teenage years (in the second half of the 1990s), because I used to be a fan (

) of:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manchester_United_F.C.
I used to listen nearly everyday to the:
singaporeradio.net/radio-station/bbc-world-service-singapore-889-fm.html
initially focusing on "Sports Roundup":
bbc.co.uk/worldservice/programmes/sports_round.shtml
but as I grew older, I became more interested in other BBC radio programmes and, eventually, British films (mostly from the 20th century), such as:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Howards_End_(film)
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Remains_of_the_Day_(film)
starring one of my favourite British actors:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthony_Hopkins

Also, my favourite British TV drama is the six-episode adaptation of:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pride_and_Prejudice_(1995_TV_series)
which I used to watch at least two or three times from the late 1990s until the first few years of this century after my father bought the video tape.

But since my mid-20s (over ten years ago), I've not been reading as many English books and watching as many English movies/TV shows as I used to before my mid-20s, simply because I have finally concluded that Japanese culture is the best (even though it's obviously still far from perfect) in the world!

Another book for @ginfreely :biggrin:

41PYLkItOmL._AC_SY400_FMwebp_.jpg


Maddie, when asked by her husband to remove her bikini top on a British beach is at first shocked. Baring her breasts in public was not on her life to do list but wanting to please her husband she dared to bare. Little did Nate realise he was unleashing a side of his wife he never imagined she had. Having enjoyed the experience she drags her husband sometimes reluctantly into the world of exhibitionism and beyond.

Absolutely agree . If you would rank listening over reading , i ‘ll give listening skills a 10 to 1 over reading skills.

But not many have acquired good listening skills because we are usually quick to judge, quick to speak and quick to anger.
