and she has dedicated her first entry to me! lol.
anyway. not sure how many know about (or watched before) the show Get it Right (zheng shi ru ci) on channel 8. i doubt any lah. anyway personally i think (part of) it is ridiculous and kinda stupid show. the show is divided into 4 segments i think.
first segment is to ask the participating celebs who they [a video will show some ppl who are going to 'explain' the word) think will correctly explain a certain chinese word or idiom. they have to use their instinct to guess who will get the answer right, and they get points for guessing correctly (which may contribute to the ultimate winner-best proficient in chinese-just by guessing). i mean, this is certainly not a way to learn chinese. you cant guess to learn chinese. i cant see the rationale behind it. the whole segment is just ridiculous.
the second segment was to replace dialect words to proper chinese. i think this is alright. fourth segment is that the celebs are givin some chim word and asked to write the hanyu pinyin. like the second segment, i think its perfectly fine.
den the third seg., again its abt guessing. celebs have to guess which other celebs will give the correct sentence making with a certain word, and sometimes though they looked as if they know how to do it, they actually do it wrongly. on purpose, no doubt. just whats the point? those celebs suay suay got the wrong person den no marks. den they (may) end up not winning the 'title' of being best in chinese among the others just because they got the wrong person when they themselves not necessary do not know the meaning behind. (almost) everything is by luck. stupid right?
and the hosts still claim they have gotten high ratings for their show. -.- sianns.
the talk just now was kind of a bore. it was suppose to be some health talk by this certain 54 y/o man who has claimed that he has no gotten sick at all for the past 15 years. at first i thought it may be interesting and that he may be giving tips on how to be fit and all that.
but heck, no.
he started crapping lots (in a very enthu non-stop manner) and towards the other half of the talk i was almost dozing off. lixuan is capable enough to carry on listening to the talk. it turns out he seems to be more eager to promote some products (this machine that is suppose to charge all your cells back to 90 milivolts, the healthy rating) and blah (cant rmb as i was almost dozing off). it costs nearly 10k and to my amazement, lx actually told me she also have one at home, and it kind of works. but as she seems to be a better conductor of electricity in the family, she dun use it in case kena electric shock.
=\
i think my dad would rather pump more money to get a new van for his company instead of spending it on this high tech machine.
