Now back to cupcakes. I tried decorating these designs last nite and wasn't very sure at first, whether I've got the chinese calligraphy right or wrong. And when I refered to my chinese colleagues this morning, gosh! I totally screwed at the 'Xin' word. My mandarin teacher would surely be upset if he knew this. Although I was chinese-schooled and I learnt mandarin during my childhood days but hey, that was like thousand years ago! And now, after so many years without practising it, I really suck at writing, reading and even speaking in Mandarin was like a rojak language already. Luckily I have few chinese colleagues here who refused to talk to me other than in mandarin. So guess I have to force myself to brush up my mandarin if I didn't want to waste the skills...
