Wow! Imma translator!
Lolx. Was at the library today. Then had a problem with borrying my book so i went to the counter lah. Then there was this China woman in front i think, she didn't understand english and had some problems with her card. Then got this other woman, she translated whatever the librarian said to her since the librarian was an Indian..then also didn't know Chinese lah. After the woman(translator) left, the librarian suddenly said that she forgot to tell the China woman something. Then she needed another translator. Then she go and eye at me. So fine...I went even though my Chinese sucks like hell.
Librarian: Help me tell her that her son's card is going to expire on the 20 march and she needs to pay her fines of $15.Me thinking: wah! $15 ah! So much money..oh no...wad is expire in Chinese? :你的儿子的卡会在三月二十号过期，你也需要还十五块。Woman: 你可以帮忙问她怎样才能继续用这张卡吗？Me: Er...what can she do to renew her card?Librarian: She has to pay her fines then $1 for a temporary replacement card since she does not have nets at the moment and I cannot make a new card for her.Me thinking: Shit. What is replacement in Chinese..wads nets? (eyes at peh gek for support)PehGek: 代替Me: 代替your head lah..got such thing as 代替卡meh?Me: Er...你需要付一块钱来做一个暂时用的卡。但是你要在下次环在因为你现在没有带nets.Woman: 哦。那我下次再换。Me: She'll pay the next time she comes.Librarian: Alright, thanks for helping ah.Me: oh..ok.Wahahhaha. I sound so lan man. Must shape up my Chinese ah. Trust peh gek to simply stand there and not help me!!! Make me so nervous. I suck at my Chinese. And while I was doing my act of kindness, some two idiots (pg should know, members of i.h.e should also know) was laughing at me. stupid E and his friend. Laugh wad laugh. :(
