Mandarin

Packed a little book of mandarin cheng yu before I started off for work. Now, no more the Briony that says "I need to improve my Mandarin", and does nothing. After years of procrastination, Briony has finally embarked on a mission to speak, read and write Mandarin like a pro.

He narrowed his eyes with determination, ready to take on the daunting task which his predecessors failed to accomplish. No one could pursuade him otherwise, no, not one. It did not matter if he was a novice, or that he was a mere youth still confined to the boundaries of his teenage years. Waving aside the negative thoughts that danced in his head, he clenched his fists and asked, "Oei Briony! When you want chinese tuition?"

Briony: Er, er... thursday can?

Max is going to be my tutor. Okay I forgive Max for calling me aunty, insulting me, leaving my room in a mess, opening my fridge and stealing my jelly.......
