在2003年时候，见面我老婆。在2007年时候，我们结婚。她常常说很多上海的俚语和女孩的然后我真听不懂，真怎么懂？我一共住在上海一年，学习土话不够，对不对？反正，她。。。有时候帮，教我她的俚语，给你有些例子：

• 神经病 - crazy, odd, weird - 原来觉得这个俚语不好的意思。现在我知道他对我开玩笑。
• 你毛病？ - Are you crazy? What the heck? - 好像她说我电脑坏了。。。哈哈。
• 你才神经病！- No, you’re weird! - 我喜欢这个句话是因为我可以用说这个说得很多。
• 嗯。- Uhm…
• 嗯。- Yes.
• 嗯。- No. -　这个‘嗯’跟美国听的反对。她说：嗯(是的），好像她说不要。真好烦。
• 你个傻瓜 - you’re silly, silly - 她常常说这个句话，我真不知道为什么。。。
• 你很笨 - you’re stupid, stupid - 有时候说这个，有的开玩笑有的生气时候。
• 滚！ - Get out! - 不常说这个

So, I wanted to be able to somehow convince my wife to make a music video with me of Love’s Angel (爱的天使) by Jolin as a romantic thing, but she’s rejected that idea before. Now, I came up with a great idea that she could buy an LV bag (that would be $1000) as long as she and I could make a music video similar to the one that Jolin has.

我先去中国时候，一个朋友告诉我很多中国人用QQ，所以我觉得如果我想提高我写的中文水平，应该下载QQ。一年以前我不用QQ乐是因为大部分的朋友现在用MSN，但是最近跟老婆打QQ堂发现我QQ号码没有了。真讨厌！哎。。。反正我再注册新的QQ号码所以可以打QQ堂。真好玩。

I wanted to follow-up on my previous post with a good night’s rest behind me (had a great dream of having superpowers). I want to make sure everyone knows I am not trashing his reputation or think badly of him, on the contrary for the most part I am/was filled with jealousy which very rarely feel or show.

Firstly, I think its great that he posted up some clips and is very smart to have done so on the Chinese Youtube, Youku, which caters specifically to the Chinese audience (I have seen previous singers on Youtube, but obviously that caters more to the English speaking audience).

Others will surely trash him and consider what his ulterior motives are behind him posting up on Youku (heck, it could have been a simple bet from a co-worker at HSBC to put up his vids there or something).

Still, I’ve never understood why people like him or my friend Adam who enjoyed singing the Communist National Anthem (which ironically is actually illegal to do in China on TV as my friend Adam found out), but then again I’m not exactly big on any kind of nationalism either so my bias clouds that judgment beyond the obvious marketing ability on catching eyes.

Now, singing 周杰伦 (Jay Chow) I can understand fully and have enjoyed many of hours singing the song, raving to 黎明 (Leon Lai) (wish I had a video of that instead of pictures), lip-syncing to girly 郑秀文 (Sammy Cheng) (guilty pleasure on that one), and even running a college CASA at GWU (yes, that old fable about some white guy on the East Coast running a Chinese club was me).

If that doesn’t help give an understanding of who I am, know that many people I knew back in high school and my friends still today call me a white Asian guy (hence the nickname: whiteaznguy) for my knowledge and interest over Asian topics. Heck, in my group of friends that I often hang out with, there is only one white guy (you know the token white guy?) and it isn’t me as they say I’m really Asian than I am white.

So truly in the end this guy has my respect, my interest in getting to know a fellow cultural 中国通, and a bow to his courage, but not my Shanghainese wife.

I’m frickin’ pissed over this:

I’ve always thought about doing this with a Jay Chow song (done some karaoke as well, my friends can back me up on this to their annoyance probably, lol) along with doing a duet with my wife for Love’s Angel by Jolie（我的天使）.Then again, I’m not sure which I’m more pissed at…

1. Him actually doing this and beating me to it (laziness on my end).
2. The seeming fakery over his huge “pro-China” sentiments (unless satirical).
3. My doing a video now would seem like I’m the copycat.
4. My wife saying his Chinese is better than mine and doesn’t like hearing me sing.

Sighs, wonder if I could convince my wife now to do the duet?? Guess my ‘uniqueness’ died out with QQ…

今天我老婆想买Sony的粉红电脑。她不管电脑的数据，只管那个电脑是粉红颜色（点这里看看她的粉红电脑）。哈哈，我从没买一个电脑是因为我喜欢一个颜色(除了Alienware 电脑)，不过她很开心，所以就是好的。

反正，下次我买个电脑，不会买个小的，一直有小的然后不能打新游戏，真好烦！可能买Voodoo或者HP游戏的电脑–是因为我很喜欢打游戏，可是我老婆觉得好烦（可能他觉得我不理她，哈哈哈），不过我打算越来越影响她打电脑游戏。哦哦哦。。。我因改写怎么影响她，呵呵呵。
