what is so big deal about mandarin ???? will i die without mandarin ???

so what if im a banana? so what if i cant read chinese characters or speak fluent mandarin?
i really dislike people saying, huh? what kind of chinese are u? so what ?
im still a chinese. i do speak chinese, i speak hokkein at home. n now i can even speak mandarin. just that im not fluent enough compared to other mandarin ed students. of course la, they have been speaking mandarin in their whole entire life. it's their mother tongue k. mandarin or hokkein or even cantonese are different dialects only ma, but they are still chinese languages. i cant understand certain words in mandarin does not mean im not a chinese ok. the difference is only mandarin n hokkein. my hokkein is damn fluent. she's good in mandarin, but she can never beat me if it's in hokkein. so, that's already fair enough.

sometimes, people just have to mirror themselves before saying such mean things to others. u thk by speaking mandarin or by being fluent in mandarin only one can survive in this society ? it would definitely be preferrable if u can speak both mandarin n english. i dont wanna comment on this, but i have to. cos these people are really pissing me off. fine la if u speak good mandarin, but look at urself, u cant even speak a complete sentence of english. and all the pronunciations are wayy...oh, u just wanna laugh ur head off.

so what if i dont know the ministers' name in mandarin? is that such a big-a-deal huh? well, i know their names in their 'original names' n not in somewhat 'chinese-names'. that does not mean im not a chinese. everyone knows them by their 'real names'. if u were to talk to an indian or whoever who is not a chinese, ur so gonna have a serious problem communicating with them. but not me. ceh.

hey, we're living in malaysia. we just gotta tolerate with other races. well, if u love mandarin so much, then i would suggest u to move to china instead. even those china students can speak english well.

u can criticise people alright, then when it comes to presentations or whatever written assignments, dont come to me n make me become the presenter. just because u cant present in english or not fluent enough in bahasa malaysia. pls la.

i m already trying my very best to tolerate with these kind of people. and i know ill be wasting my time reasoning with these people. but i just cant stand it. wats the best thing to say to these people ? i really dont wanna just put up a smile on my face n pretend im the loser. gosh !

dont get me wrong, im not saying mandarin isnt important.
