The song my student learnt from the school..(Part 2)

The translation of the song I mentioned from the previous post (this is the sequal-lah)

Song : Beware of Suspicious Uncle

I don't know you, you don't know me
What would be the reason that you come near to me?

I don't know you, you don't know me
You gave me sweets but to accept it not me

Suspicious Uncle, I beware of ! No matter where !
Suspicious Uncle, scare no I'm not, to reject you I dare !
I'm the owner, precious my body to me !

Be cautious ! Be brave !
Protecting myself, the brave one to be !

(Suspicious Uncle, I beware of ! No matter where! Suspicious Uncle, scare no I'm not, to reject

you I dare !)

Ehmm, how's that be?

I have a view that it bears kinda sex discrimination factor in it. I should advise the Headmaster/mistress to rectify the title and lyric as "Suspicious Uncle & Auntie". Hehee, fair enough mahh..bad guys could consist of both genders, nowadays.

China’s domestic demand remains strong despite weak exports

EXPORTS from China are still suffering as the latest April figures show. This impacted China’s industrial production which, although expanding, was still at a relatively weak pace.

This negative reading is not surprising as global economic conditions remain weak and the recovery process is in the early stages.

On the other hand, the latest economic figures pertaining to China’s stimulus package and consumer spending remain robust.

Bank lending, fixed asset investment and money supply are expanding at robust levels.

Most importantly, retail sales in China are expanding very healthily with April’s figure growing 14.8%, and with home sales in 2009 so far surging.

What we have now is a two-tier Chinese economy. The export-related side remains weak but the domestic demand-related aspects remain strong.

Would such a situation please investors and economists? Nouriel Roubini, New York University economics professor, said he was worried about the quality of the recovery and that private domestic demand was not growing fast enough.

“Without exports, China can produce growth for a period of time by getting the banks to lend like crazy, but that’s not sustainable growth,” said an economist with Macquarie Securities in Hong Kong.

Even though retail sales are surging in the mid-teens, at a time when retail sales in most countries are slumping, this is still not enough to please the bearish ones.

It is true that banks anywhere cannot continue to lend like crazy, but if export growth is so sustainable, why are exports collapsing now?

It would seem that, for some people, nothing is ever right. Are exports really that important for China? Is it just a myth?

Or is China’s economy more than just relying on exporting cheap goods to the US?

The table shows the growth components of China’s gross domestic product.

Contribution from net exports, i.e. exports minus imports, is far less important than contribution from domestic demand, whether from private or public sector.

A good proxy for domestic demand is retail sales and fixed asset investment. Both are expanding robustly.

If you suspect the figures from the Chinese official sources, just remind yourself that in 1978, there were only 400 washing machines in the whole of China. By 2005, there were 30.4 million washing machines.

In 1980, only a few thousand cars were on the roads in China.

Now, China is the biggest car market in the world. Now, all these are for domestic consumption, not for export.

The simple fact is that the US economy may still be the largest in the world but it is certainly not the most important anymore.

Hong Kong’s economic prospects are now very closely linked to China’s, the strongest economy in the world.

The song my student learnt from the school..(Part 1)

The other day, i was having ituition with my Year 1 student.

And I found a piece of paper where, the content caught my eyes. It was a Chinese song lyric where he was taught to sing in the school. This is what I found written on it :

提防怪叔叔主體曲
我不認識你, 你不認識我
你來靠近我, 為的是甚麼 ?
我不認識你, 你不認識我
你給我米糖果, 我不伸手拿
怪叔叔, 我提防 ! 不管在甚麼地方 !
怪叔叔, 我不怕, 勇敢拒絕他 !
我身體很寶貴, 我是身體的主人 !
小心翼翼 ! 鼓起勇氣 !
我是保護自己的勇士 !

Chorus
(怪叔叔, 我提防 ! 不管在甚麼地方 ! 怪叔叔, 我不怕, 勇敢拒絕他 ! )

Lol !!!

Four Years

Hi Papa. May, 12th is today.

Its been four year since the final round with you. As I am writing this post, are you somewhere up there, looking down at us? Wonder whether you already get used of it, your not-too-new location?

These more-than thousand days without you, I was always asking myself, what could it be if you still accompany us?

It's early summer in countries with four seasons, yet, our own ground is as hot as you can imagine. Clearly, I still remembered how you disliked when in tolerance with warm weather. I am exactly same as you were, really feel uncomfortable with our humidility, damp weather condition. It not fair ain't we, we have to bare the hot breeze of summerday, yet do not have the privilege of enjoying the fragrant smell of blossomful flowers in spring and coldness nights with sparkling snows falling down from the dark skies.

It has been of numberous days without a single drop of rains since 2~3weeks ago, and Mid-Summer festival is around the corner. Papa, I still remember you always never failed to astonish us on the quantity of Mid-Summer dumplings you managed to swallow in to your belly, hoho!

To be honest to you, Papa, I started to think of you lesser and lesser. It was of such frequent that you could came into my countless night dreams, during the first years of your absent, that I couldn't help myself but to mesmerising the days we were together, you, Mum, Koh Koh(prior to his marriage), & myself.. Older people said it is not auspicious to dream so much of people from other world, but who really cares, and as I said, I couldn't help it.. the teardrops were actually flooding in my heart, which I couldn't afford to express them out, and I didn't know what else I can do best to heal my grieveness of lossing you, well.... I dunno.

The way you preceived and practised, chosen a jovious method of enduring the joy and sorrow of earthly this world. It supposed to be the timing for you to enjoy your golden days, alas it was just 1 year time limit after your retirement that then, God wanna you to be at His side, help them up with the White Stage hustle & bustle task up there, hehe. I guess you are okay with the climate up there, musta be cooling, huh? He he!

You know what, many still miss you so much, especially from temple sisters & brothers, up till these days, I know that. That day when Koh Koh, WF(sister-in-law) & me knelt in front of you before your final departure journey, I read out Worship Letter, on how friendly your smiles, your joyfullness that always welcomed by us, which I uttered with my tembling voice, and that the sky became cloudly and cool, saddened breeze blown up in a sudden moment, as though the surrounding was heart-broken with your sudden dismiss.

Oh..., forgive me to revoke out all this. Anyway, I have changed, Papa. Now that without your presence, I learn and adapt your style to be as jovious as you had been, hee...

Hmm, if I am given a wish, I would really hope I would have not let you see my sour face whenever I was not happy. Why should I be such a grumpy child of such a jovious Papa?? I reckon you musta tolerating much which such a disgusting, sorrowful kid, hor? Why didn't I try to live as delightful with you when I could, it is to late now..

Dun worry, Papa, I have learnt my very lessons, and I'm improving very much nowadays. Many, I guess, has realised my changes, no more like before. I'm more responsible to others and myself now.

Mum get used to the life now, and so are we.

As an immortal now, your zai zai would selfishly wish you could popi popi us, indirectly guide us, hint us if we stuck in any situation where your zai zais could not get through.

Take care & pai pai, Ah Pa. You are always on our mind.

Luv,

Your Small Zai Zai.
