Sec 1 2012

[jtoh]

So have all your Sec 1 kids settled nicely into their secondary school regime. Are they terribly busy or still keeping sane hours?

Talking about the 38 fu nu jie - When someone mentioned it to me yesterday I was asking her why did they call us women san ba? :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao:

LOL IKR. On the radio this morning in the car, the DJ went like

\"今天是3月8号2012年。农历2月16号。那么，今天也是山芭妇女节\" and I was like : :scared:

The English name sounds much nicer - International Women's Day!
Btw, cos my Mandarin isn't good, what exactly does \"san ba\" mean?
I dun mean the date, but the seemingly negative meaning.

Don't spend too much time on ksp. Go out and get some fresh air.

How are you coping with your school work and CCA?

Oh yeah! I have noticed that you're very active in KSP indeed!
You have even put a foot into the maid issue. :evil:

Direct translation from Hokkien would be \"mountain tortoise\"?

If that's so, the name must change with the times!
Where are all the feminists?
How come no one is protesting to the name?

Hmmm...The person who came up with the Chinese name must be a man! :evil:

Hi everyone,


Hope you and your ds/dd are coping well with Sec 1.
We are still trying to get used to the longer hours.
Wish everyone a very happy one week holiday in advance.

Mountain tortoise in Hokkien (Singaporean), adapted from Teochew I thought is swakoo?

Sanba just means poor village. The theme of this year's Intl Women's day is poor village women rights, I heard it on the radio this morning
