    • Hi, blogging helps me to take my mind off things like sickness of Mom and other difficulties; restoring my sanity somewhat. With almost 9,000 followers, I sometimes feel that I have the duty to share something interesting. Many thanks for the kind wishes and Happy New Year!

  53. Whenever i think of you, the word ‘Chairman’ always comes to my mind. i can’t resist the urge to call you “Chaiman Lai” from Chairman Mao fame. it takes a man to lead a counrty to promised land. My country Nigeria is in dire need of a good leader of that mould. Happy Chinesse New Goat/Sheep Year.

    • The transcription is interesting. It shows to me that Cantonese and Mandarin are not so remote after all: Kung becomes Gong, Fat becomes Fa, and Choy becomes Cai. It’s really a matter of evolution in pronunciation, like portuguese and spanish!
      🙂
      Have a great week-end Michael.
      (My regards and best wishes to your mother)

    • Cantonese is more refined and have more sounds; mandarin is now Romanized and more widely used – they are related.
      We are still not sure what steps to take with mom after the operation. Hope God will guide us 🙂

  59. 15 days the Lunar New Year are coming to an end but I thought this would be a good opportunity to wish you good fortune, prosperity, health, wealth and long life. Your photos are just lovely.
