行かないで
思い出は消えぬども 増え行く事もなく
Just came back from Dinner at Adam Rd and Island Creamery. My wallet bursted a little lah haha but how much would it cost to me away, maybe 1% of my salary? Hahaha. OOPS.
Donated blood on Sunday before I booked in at Orchard Rd. And made a new camp pass, $50 ARGH. Surprisingly nobody mentioned anything about EXTRAS. Maybe I was just lucky, or maybe those old men just love me. I don’t know. Somehow these old men find the notion of having a Chinaman speaking so many different tongues very very INTERESTING. Like novelty. Being too famous isn’t good; saikang comes to you.
Finished another camp in the flats. Weather damn hot lah, but I think it’s better than jungle warfare. After all, it looks more like Counterstrike now.
“我也知道一些家庭因为孩子没有办法应付母语而选择移民。而这些家庭的成员往往是专业人士或者成功的企业家——正是我们想 要从其他国家吸引的人才。”——A Quite Prominent Neurologist who frequently writes for the Papers. (Translated into Chinese of course, don’t think her Chinese is as good as her Papa’s.”
没有质疑作者忧国忧民的心态,绝对是以国家的利益为出发点,只是把话说得那么白,令人心寒。这些无法应付母语就要移民、轻易放弃国籍、不顺心意就打包走人的人,万一国家有难,你认为他们会怎么做?那那些无法应付英语的人呢?
哦,差点忘了,没办法应付英语的,走得了的应该没几个。
到底我们想吸引和留住什么样的人才?
不肯定自己是不是精“华”,不过,可以确定的是,绝对不是精“英”。
