Taiwanese-ified

Rewind back a year. I would have looked at this sentence and scratched my head....Who writes like that?
Well, me, apparently now, to my Taiwan mates [woops, rewind back 4 years and I would NOT be using the term 'mates']


哈哈哈
幹嘛醬～沒有那麼奢侈啦～
不～曉得叻～除非要到師大／古亭附近走一走


A basic translation：


Hahaha
Why you so like that? (this translation betrays my Malaysian-ness, but I can't think of a better way to translate 幹嘛醬)
I don't live that luxuriously.
I~~don't know ler~~Unless we walk around to Shida/GuTing


Cultural adaptation....adding more countries to the pot of Charis...

Love Alicia...but....

I've loved Alicia Keys since I was a teenager. She's gorgeous, talented, with an impeccable image of ghetto funkiness plus classy elegance. Love her voice and love her ideas. But....the lyrics....have more often than not been ...disappointing. I do think this article provides accurate critique of her work.

There is still a chance for the 71,849 single men

I opened my facebook profile and LO and BEHOLD, I saw a string of comments, wall comments and msgs in my inbox congratulating me about my 'not-single anymore status'. Why? Because I decided to remove the 'single' listing on my Facebook profile. I merely didn't want to post it up anymore. A whim that resulted in... HILARIOUSNESS! Here are a couple of samples: "Charis has been woozy since thursday, is it luvvve??" "huh? o_O? is there something i don't know??" "so when u going to belanja us all makan??? >. "heh.... really!?....there are 71,849 single men in brisbane who will be very dissapointed... very.." "is this for real .. if so, congrats charis :-)" "Hey great news to hear, Congrats loh! By the way who is the lucky Guy?" " Hey. No longer single? Share some news. ;) " Man o man!
