I look back at myself, I'm more interested in money making only recently I'm waking up to the idea we have ignored it for too long.
The recent awakening also that the incumbents get too greedy. Their sky high pay is their doom.
We Hokkiens alway like to say soo lang mmn soo teen, soo teen lan chiao bin.
They have trapped themselves.

Languages or dialects are always useful.

if you take this idiom you will strive to achieve, isn't just profanity.

Today lunchtime I spoke Hokkien to the apparently Chinese lady over the cashier counter. After I finish speaking, she answered "ä½ ä¸�会讲å�Žè¯å�—?". Then I told her what I spoke in Mandarin, later I asked her what dialect she is. She told me "ä¸å›½" (as usual a lot of Chinese from PRC dun like to tell exactly where they are from). I asked what "çœ�" la, and she finally told me she's from "ç¦�建". I asked her which part of Fujian and she said she from "闽北" (bloody hell, still want to beat around the bush), so I asked her which part of Min-Bei, and she finally said "ç¦�州那边". Kannasai, then I told her in Hockchiew "I also know how to speak Hockchew la" and she suddenly turned so happy and was so willing to converse with me in Hockchew and I wonder why she waste so much time in the beginning dun wan to tell me.
