Pinyinisation

I was reading Mr Miyagi's blog and came across a very funny post on Pinyinisation ...

Excerpt...


There was this one classmate who was unfortunate enough to have only a dialect name, and one that sounded funny both in his dialect and in pinyin. Low Ho Ho in Hokkien and on his birth certificate, and Liu Hehe in pinyin. First day of school was a procession of subject teachers chuckling and asking which he'd prefer, Hoho or Hehe?

I also remember this girl whose name was Lily Lee Li Li, pinyinised to Li Lili. Wonder what's happened to her. Maybe her tongue flapped her to death when she was introducing herself one day.



HA HA HA~~!!! I laughed till I cried and then laughed somemore.... Work was getting too monotonous and I was suffering from an almost-occuring-daily headache. Lost some tension in my body and then realised that I can't laugh like that or they'll all know that I'm actually not really doing my work and reading nonsensical blogs online. =)

Had to rub my eyes like they were tired and needed a break. =PppPp
