Letter of the Month!

I was shocked to see portions of my letter printed out on the Letter of the Month section of this month's OK! Magazine. I was told thru email that I should watch out for the March 2006 issue, but I was merely expecting to see more of Brangelina, and indeed the cover featured the now public Brangelina. Carefully reading and turning EVERY page, I was astonished to see MY name! My name?! (Can you believe it??!!) On the magazine!! My email was chosen as Letter of the Month! And not only that, I won a great great great prize!! My ultimate favorite make-up brand!! Shu Uemura!!!! Yeah baby!!!

Until now, I'm still reeling from the shock - thanks to OK! Magazine, Frances Amper and of course.. Brangelina!!!!!!!

When you think about it, well - one hour a day, should be okay - but the problem is, at that time - it was pure memorization. The books that we used, were those traditional books that I honestly have no idea what is written in them. I see Chinese characters and they're just that - Chinese characters without meaning, nothing. It was not practical if you ask me. The words we were taught were not used in everyday conversation It was only during my 3rd or 4th year of high school that I realized how important knowing how to speak Chinese was. It was during a trip to the Chinese border from Hong Kong that while I was going around the mall, I was having a hard time communicating with people who looked like me. I wa...
