Let me just boast a bit.
<中国话> had its debut on monday. By Tuesday's noon, I had already memorised the full lyrics to the song!
Look, this isn't an easy thing, cos the song is made up of 4 chinese tongue-twisters (绕口令). So it really took quite an effort to get used to the words, and then, to the fast tempo of the song.
Do try to read the lyrics to yourself, and see how flexible your tongue is, when you are JUST reading it. If not, listen to the song sang by SHE, and marvel at how it can all be done in just 3-minutes!!
中国话
伦敦玛莉莲 买了件旗袍送妈妈
莫斯科的夫司基 爱上牛肉面疙瘩
各种颜色的皮肤 各种颜色的头发
嘴里念的说的开始流行中国话
多少年我们苦练英文发音和文法
这几年换他们卷著舌头学平上去入的变化
平平仄仄平平仄
好聪明的中国人 好优美的中国话
(Tongue twister #1)
扁担宽 板凳长
扁担想绑在板凳上
板凳不让扁担绑在板凳上
扁担偏要绑在板凳上
板凳偏偏不让扁担绑在那板凳上
到底扁担宽还是板凳长
(Tongue twister #2)
哥哥弟弟坡前坐
坡上卧著一只鹅
坡下流著一条河
哥哥说 宽宽的河
弟弟说 白白的鹅
鹅要过河 河要渡鹅
不知是那鹅过河 还是河渡鹅
CHORUS:
全世界都在学中国话
孔夫子的话 越来越国际化
全世界都在讲中国话
我们说的话 让世界都认真听话
纽约苏珊娜 开了间禅风 lounge bar
柏林来的沃夫冈 拿胡琴配著电吉他
各种颜色的皮肤 各种颜色的头发
嘴里念的说的开始流行中国话
多少年我们苦练英文发音和文法
这几年换他们卷著舌头学平上去入的变化
仄仄平平仄仄平
好聪明的中国人 好优美的中国话
(Tongue twister #3)
有个小孩叫小杜
上街打醋又买布
买了布 打了醋
回头看见鹰抓兔
放下布 搁下醋
上前去追鹰和兔
飞了鹰 跑了兔
洒了醋 湿了布
(Tongue twister #4)
嘴说腿 腿说嘴
嘴说腿 爱跑腿
腿说嘴 爱卖嘴
光动嘴 不动腿
光动腿 不动嘴
不如不长腿和嘴
到底是那嘴说腿 还是腿说嘴
Repeat Chorus (x3)

We celebrated Mama's Birthday last Sat, 7th April. We had Steamboat opposite Bugis Junction, at an outlet that is regularly advertised on TV.
Papa didnt even remember its the day until I told him in the morning..
.
The food variety wasn't that great though, but still we ate until very, tired.
