Using Foochow In MSN
Mar 5th, 2008 by Clare
Sidenote:
The time is 11.40am now and the last I counted, only got 13 comments (Cool! Badawi’s lucky number!) I need another 13, and then you can go and beg Cibol to do the post. Your die-hard-fans are so excited to see exclusive pictures of you, you don’t want to disappoint them, do you Cibol?
I understand Foochow dialect very well (I am not a Foochow though) but prefer not to use it except in a life and death situation. After being lelong-ed to Sintok, a God-forsaken place in Kedah, my Foochow has been rusty. Don’t know how Foochow sounds like? Go and book an Air Asia ticket to Sibu now (very cheap what!) and have a visit there. You will experience a true blue Foochow-speaking society at every corner of Sibu.
The other day, I chatted with Uncle Wuching on MSN using Foochow. Don’t know how Foochow looks like? Here, a part of conversation between Wuching and yours truly on MSN:
Clare: Eh ho meh? Jing gu long mo kan ngieng!
Darth: Man nai ah! Siap pa mui?
Clare: Ah mui
Darth: Chian siap man lor
Clare: Ji puang jiang ngu teng lang ji. Hi man cha sia man meh?

Clare: Ah mui lar, wei full time terk ji, meh tang jok kerng
